The British like simple food. They usually add only salt and pepper to their food. The British often get their meals ready very quickly, because many women go out to work, and they do not have much time to spend in the kitchen. In supermarkets there are a lot of food in tins (金属盒) and packets. ① Just cook the food for a few minutes, and the meal is ready. On Sundays, there is usually a bigger, better lunch. It is usually a big piece of roast (烤) meat with potatoes and green vegetables, and after that, some dessert.
②So many British women do not spend long in the kitchen, and their husbands (丈夫) do not spend a long time at the dinner table. Some people think that the British eat only when they are hungry. Some families eat their meals in front of the TV. The mealtime is not a time for family to talk to each other as it is in many other countries in the world.

The Sunday Mail magazine interviewed some parents about whether children should do chores at home. Different people have different opinions.
Ms Miller thinks that kids these days already have enough stress from school. They do not have time to study and do housework, too. Housework is a waste of their time. They should spend their time on schoolwork in order to get good grades and get into a good university. When kids get older, they will have to do housework. So there is no need for them to do it now. She thinks that doing chores is not so difficult.
However, Mr. Smith disagrees with her. He thinks it is important for children to learn how to do chores and help their parents with housework. It’s not enough to just get good grades at school. Children these days depend on their parents too much. Doing chores helps children to be independent and teaches them how to look after themselves. It also helps them to understand the idea of fairness. Everyone should do their part in keeping the house clean and tidy. The earlier kids learn to be independent, the better it is for their future.

Thanks for your message. Yes, I’m having a great time on my exchange program in France. It’s even better than I thought it would be. I was a bit nervous before I arrived here, but there was no reason to be. My host family is really nice. They go out of their way to make me feel at home. And you wouldn’t believe how quickly my French has improved! I’m very comfortable speaking French now. Although I still make lots of mistakes, it doesn’t bother me like it used to. My biggest challenge is learning how to behave at the dinner table. As you can imagine, things are really different from the way they are at home. For example, you’re not supposed to put your bread on your plate. You’re supposed to put it on the table! I thought that was pretty strange at first, but now I’m used to it. You’re not supposed to eat anything with your hands except bread, not even fruit! (You have to cut it up and eat it with a fork). Another thing is that it is very rude to say you’re full. If you don’t want any more food, you should just say, “It was delicious.” Also, it’s rude to put your hands in your lap. You should always keep your hands ,but not your elbows, on the table. I have to say, I find it difficult to remember everything, but I’m gradually getting used to things and don’t find them so strange any more. I’ll write soon and tell you more about life in France. Hope you’re having a good school year.

An American named Crum invented potato chips in 1853, although that was not his intention (意图). He was a cook at a beautiful restaurant in Saratoga Springs, New York. A regular dish on the menu was fried (油炸的) potatoes, which was an idea that had started in France. At that time, French fried potatoes were cut into thick slices (片).
One day, a dinner guest at the restaurant sent back his fried potatoes to the chef because he did not like them so thick. So Mr Crum cut the potatoes a little thinner and fried them. The guest did not like those either. That made Mr Crum angry, so he thought he would just show the man. He sliced the potatoes paper-thin and fried them, thinking that the man would say nothing about it. However, to his surprise, the man loved the thin potatoes very much. Other guests tried them and liked them. So, Mr Crum's potato chips were added to the menu. They were called Saratoga Chips.

Nowadays, many students do homework with the help of the Internet. They search for information online, use apps or discuss through social networks like QQ and WeChat.
“It’s convenient,” Andy said, “You also learn by seeing how others work them out.”
“It also improves students’ abilities,” said John, another student. He said it’s true for new types of homework.
John’s Chinese teacher often asks students to give speeches on great authors. When it comes to John’s turn, he usually searches online, picks out certain stories and makes PowerPoint presentations.
“I’ve become skilled at finding information online and using Microsoft Office,” Wang said.
However, many students think this trend (趋势) also brings up problems. Some students just copy the answers online and don’t think twice about them. As a result, they become lazy.
A head teacher in Andy and John’s school said that knowing how to use the Internet is important. The key is to have good self-control.
“No matter how difficult the problem is, think about it independently (独立地) first,” the teacher said “Be sure to understand the reasons behind the answers, or you won’t make progress. If you don’t have confidence about your self-control, ask your parents for help.”
