Lots of foreigners don’t understand why so many Chinese people are sorrowful about Yuan Longping’s passing away.
This reminds me

5 . When water is cold, people will find it uncomfortable to swim. Wetsuits(潜水服)can help keep people warm.
The wetsuit doesn't have a long history. According to studies, the wetsuit only began during WWII when Italians started wearing wetsuits that were made of rubber. And it was widely believed in 1951, Hugh Bradner began working to improve the equipment.
Now there are many kinds of wetsuits. Contrary to what some may think, wetsuits do not work by keeping the diver(潜水员)dry; they are designed to let water into the suit. This thin layer of water is trapped(保存)between the diver and the suit. And it's allowed to move between the skin of the diver and the inside layer.
Wetsuits can also differ in thickness. They range from about 0. 5mm to 8mm in thickness. It's true that thicker wetsuits are more likely to affect your movement.
A.But they're much better at giving you warmth. |
B.As for the difference, wetsuits can differ in size. |
C.The history of the wetsuit is an interesting story. |
D.This led to the development of a kind of new wetsuit. |
E.Many wetsuits are very light and easy to wear and take off. |
F.As a result, the water gradually warms up to body temperature. |
G.And they can provide protection from the sun and cuts from rocks. |

8 . A British friend told me he couldn't understand why Chinese people love eating sunflower seeds (葵花子) as a snack so much. “I’ve met a lot of older Chinese and many have a crack in their front teeth; I believe that's from cracking the seeds,” he said.
I had never noticed the habit, but once he mentioned it, I suddenly became more aware. I realized that whenever I’m watching TV or typing a report, I always start mindlessly cracking sunflower seeds. My friend doesn't like sunflower seeds, and, to him, it seems unnecessary to work so hard just to get one small seed.
When we were young, the whole family would usually get together for Chinese New Year. Then, we all lived close to one another, usually in a small city, and sometimes even neighbors would go doortodoor on Chinese New Year’s Eve to check out what every household was making.
I remember my parents would be in the kitchen cooking. In the living room, a large table would already be laid out, complete with a fancy tablecloth, readymade dumpling fillings, and dishes full of candy, fruits and sunflower seeds.
Some of the dishes were to be offered to our ancestors later, while others were for neighbors and children to eat before the evening feast. I must have learned how to crack sunflower seeds back then.
I don’t think it’s right to criticize one’s choice in food or eating habits, no matter how strange they may seem.
It’s not only in China. When I went abroad, I found people had all sorts of strange habits when it came to food. In Denmark, they put salted red fish on bread and eat it for dinner, no matter how much it ruins their breath. They think it’s a delicacy, and it’s connected with their culture. I think it’s a wonderful tradition.

9 . How does it happen that some people never have to see the doctor while some are wasting much money in hospital? The answer lies in their proper, healthy diet. A balanced diet actually means eating all kinds of foods to provide the body with all the nutrients (营养物) it needs for its daily work. It means eating the right type of foods and eating a right amount of food for each meal.
Each food group contains different kinds of nutrients, and our body surely needs all of these, but in different amounts, and it differs from person to person. When it comes to going on a healthy diet, one size is not suitable for all. Everyone leads a different lifestyle, and has different jobs and fitness levels.
A balanced diet matters for everyone. If the body gets all the required nutrients, it’ll improve the immune (免疫) system, which prevents all kinds of diseases. A balanced diet would also be good for the state of mind and then help you remember something better. What’s more, if the body is supplied with all the necessary nutrients, the skin and hair also become healthier. A balanced diet also prevents our body from aging. As a result, you’ll have a more youthful look.
However, for a healthy body, a balanced diet is not enough; it has to be combined with the proper amount of sleep and exercise. These three things, when included in your daily routine, will make sure that you not only have a healthy body but also a healthy mind. So, go ahead and adopt a healthier lifestyle!
