4 . There is a famous English saying “You are what you eat”, anditmeans what you put in your mouth will become part of you. Many experts (专家) use it to tell people it's important to have a good eating habit. For example, too much sweet food makes a person overweight（超重）. To avoid being fat, kids are told to keep off sweet food. But, a team of American scientists have found something new about eating sweet food.

“When we say some people ‘sweet’, we mean they are kind and friendly to us. Perhaps(也许) this word can help us learn more about people's feelings and acts.” said Brian Meier, a scientist from the study team. “Taste is something we experience every day. What we have done is to find whether we can know someone's character(角色) and behavior(行为) depending on their taste.”

In one of their experiments(实验),   students were asked questions about their character－whether, for example, they were soft-hearted or not. Then they were asked to make a list of their favorite food. According to their answers, the scientists found that the students who liked sweet food were nicer.

In their another experiment, the scientists found that people who preferred sweet food such as cookies and chocolate were more willing to help other people in need, and those who ate non-sweet food such as chips weren’t. For example, people with a sweet tooth were more likely to volunteer to clean up their city, visit sick children in the hospital and so on.

The result of the experiments is that people’s helpfulness or being nice has something to do with their taste for sweet food. So eating sweet food is a useful way to make people nice and helpful. Next time, try some ice-cream.

7 . Can you understand the following words?
“Long time no see.”
“Good good study, day day up.”
“I like your smile, but dislike you put your shoes on my face.”
Yes, we call these examples Chinglish, like “people mountain, people sea”.
Chinglish usually means English words with Chinese grammar on street signs or products（商品）. However, many English speaking tourists love them. Tom has been living in Beijing for years. “I think many Chinese people dislike Chinglish. But I love it. It’s quite interesting. I think if the translations（翻译） of English in China are all perfect（完美的）, something will be lost from Chinese culture. So, it is also a part of Chinese culture.”
However, Chinglish will probably become a part of history in future. Beijing has made a plan to correct（改正） Chinglish within five years. “It is so funny to see Chinglish on the signs. And they are a kind of trouble for communication（交流） between the Chinese and foreigners,” a Beijinger said.
However, some people in China like Chinglish. They think that English has “borrowed”(借) a lot from other languages such as German, French and Spanish（西班牙语） in the past, and now as Chinese’s turn.

Read!

Before we leave, we should find some information about the place you want to go to, such as its geography, its history and its famous people. And we should read them carefully. So, we can really understand that place during our trip even though we don’t have much time.

Take photos!

Most of us take a camera(相机) when we travel. If you want to take some photos, remember to choose the most special sights. Don’t choose the sight we can see in other places. For example, Beidaihe, Qingdao and Zhuhai are coastal cities. Don’t only take photos of the sea. You should take photos of something special, too.

Taste!

Don’t buy the food that you like most because you can buy it in your own city or town. You’d better taste something special in that place. Food in some places is very delicious. And from food, you can find its food culture. So why not taste it? Maybe you have just one chance to taste it in your life.

Write!

When you visit a place, you should take a pen and a notebook, so you can write down what you see and what you think during the trip. Later, when you read it, you’ll feel that you can find the pleasure (乐趣) during the trip.
