Dear Bewildered,

Table manners are about being kind to and considerate(考虑周到的)of others.Having proper table manners is one way people judge others,and we don't want people to think that we are rude,do we ?

Whether in a restaurant or in a home, here are some basic table manners for kids:

①Eat with a fork unless the food is meant to be eaten with fingers.Only babies eat with fingers.

②Sit up and do not hunch(弯背)over your plate;wrists(手腕)or forearms(前臂)can rest on the table,or hands on lap.

③Chew with your mouth closed,No one wants to see food being chewed up.This includes no talking with your mouth full.

④Don't make any rude comments about any food being served.It will hurt someone's feelings.Always say thank you when you're served something.

⑤Eat slowly.It takes someone a long time to prepare the food,so enjoy it slowly.Wait about 5 seconds after swallowing to get another forkful(一叉子的量)。

⑥ Don't reach over someone's plate for something.Politely ask the dish to be passed to you.

⑦When eating at someone's home or being a guest of someone at a restaurant,always thank the host and tell him or her how much you enjoy it.At least say that you like the dinner ,for example, the dessert is great.

Many animals recognize their food because they see it.So do humans.When you see an apple or a piece of chocolate,you know that these are things you can eat.You can also use other senses when you choose your food.You may like it because it smells good or because it tastes good.You may dislike some types of food because they do not look,smell or taste very nice.Different animals use different senses to find and choose their food.A few animals depend on only one of their senses,while most animals use more than one sense.

Although there are many different types of food,some animals spend their lives eating only one type.The giant panda eats only one particular type of bamboo f竹子).Other animals eat only one type of food even when given the choice.A kind of white butterfly will stay on the leaves of a cabbage,even though there are plenty of other vegetables in the garden.However,most animals have a more varied diet(多样化饮食).The bear eats fruits and fish.The fox eats small animals,birds and fruits.The diet of these animals will he different depending on the season.

Humans have a very varied diet.We often eat food because we like it and not because it is good for us.In countries such as France and Britain.people eat foods with too much sugar.This makes them overweight,which is bad for their health.Eating too much red meat and animal products,such as butter, can also be bad for the health.Choosing the fight food,therefore,has become an area of study in modem life.
