Of course, the main difference on the Chinese dinner table is chopsticks instead of knife and fork, but that's only superficial. Besides, in decent res?taurants, you can always ask for a pair of knife and fork, if you find the chopsticks not helpful enough. The real difference is that in the West, you have your own plate of food, while in China the dishes are placed on the ta?ble and everyone shares. If you are being treated to a formal dinner and par?ticularly if the host thinks you're in the country for the first time, he will do the best to give you a taste of many different types of dishes.
The meal usually begins with a set of at least four cold dishes, to be followed by the main courses of hot meat and vegetable dishes. Soup then will be served (unless in Guangdong style restaurants) to be followed by staple food ranging from rice, noodles to dumplings. If you wish to have your rice to go with other dishes, you should say so in good time, for most of the Chinese choose to have the staple food at last or have none of them at all.
Perhaps one of the things that surprise a Western visitor most is that some of the Chinese hosts like to put food into the plates of their guests. In formal dinners, there are always "public" chopsticks and spoons for this purpose, but some hosts may use their own chopsticks. This is a sign of genuine friendship and politeness. It is always polite to eat the food. If you do not eat it, just leave the food in the plate.
People in China tend to over-order food, for they will find it embarrass?ing if all the food is consumed. When you have had enough, just say so. Or you will always overeat!

Armstrong was born in New Orleans on Aug.4,1901. He grew up at the bottom, trying to bring something home to eat,sometimes searching garbage cans for food that might still be suitable for supper. The spirit of Armstrong's world, however, was not controlled by the poverty and the danger of wild living. As a child, he was either dancing for pennies or singing for his supper with a strolling quartet of other kids who wandered New Orleans. But he had his dreams. In1915, he got first comet(小号)and was soon known around New Orleans as excel?lent. The places he played and the people he knew were sweet and innocent at one end and rough at the other. Out of those experiences，everything from pomp to humor to grief to majesty worked its way into his tone. He became a beacon(信号灯)of American feeling.
In 1922 he went to Chicago and joined his mentor(指导者)Joe Oliver, and the revolution took place in full form. His performances set the city on its head. The dull rhythms of the time were wiped away by his unique style. His combination of skill，strength and passion was incred?ible. Armstrong traveled the world constantly. In1932 he visited Europe and played for King of England. In1956 he was hailed by crowds during African tour. In1964 his recording of Hello, Dolly hit No.1. Armstrong died on July6， 1971 in New York City. But he will always remain as one of the greatest artists who make the world a happy place.

Many people turn to doctors or self-help books，but they ignore a powerful thing that could help them fight illness;their friends.
Researchers are only now starting to pay attention to the importance of friendship in health. A 10-year Australian study found that old people have a large circle of friends. A 2007 study showed an increase of nearly 60 percent in the risk(危险)for obesity(肥胖)among people whose friends gained weight. And last year,Harvard researchers reported that strong social ties could improve brain health as we age.
"In general, the role of friendship in our lives isn't well realized," said Rebecca, a professor at the University of North Carolina. " Friendship has a bigger effect on our psychologi?cal(心理的)health than family relationships.”
While many friendship studies are about the close relationships of women, some research shows that it can do good to men too. In a six-year study of 736 middle-aged men,having friendships reduces the risk of heart attack. Only smoking was as important a risk factor(因素) as having little social support.
Exactly why friendship has such a big effect isn't entirely clear. While friends can send a sick person to the hospital or pick up medicine, the advantages go well beyond physical help. Friendship clearly has a big psychological effect. " People with stronger friendships feel like there is someone they can turn to，" said Karen，a doctor. " The message of these studies is that friends make your life better.”
