  People express their personalities in their clothes, their cars, and their homes.Because we might choose certain foods t0“tell”people something about us, our diets can also be an expression of our personalities.For example.some people earn mainly gourmet(供美食家享用的)foods, such as caviar(鱼子酱)and lobster(龙虾), and they eat only in expensive restaurants(never in cafeterias or snack bars).They know about the“better things in life.”

  Human beings can eat many different kinds of foods, but some people choose not to eat meat.Vegetarians often have more in common than just their diet.Their personalities might be similar too.For example, vegetarians in the United States and Canada may be creative people, and they might not enjoy competitive sports or jobs.They worry about the health of the world, and they are probably strongly opposed(反对的)to war.

  Some people eat mostly fast food.One study shows that many fast-food eaters have a lot in common with one another, but they are very different from vegetarians.They are competitive and good a t business.They are also usually in a hurry.Many fast-food eaters might not agree with this description of their personalities, but it is fl common picture of them.

  Some people also believe that people of the same astrological sign(星座)have similar food personalities.

  Aries(born under the sign of Aries, between March 21 and April 20)usually like spicy(辛辣的)foods, with a lot of onions and pepper.People with the sign of Taurus(April 21 to May 22)prefer healthful fruits and vegetables, but they often eat too much.Sagittarius(November 22 to December 22)like ethnic foods from many different countries.Aquarius(J anuary 21 to February l 9)can eat as much meat and fish fls they want, but sugar and cholesterol are sometimes problems for them.

  When we speak of a basic human need we mean something which is necessary to life, something we cannot possibly do without.Food is a basic human need.Without it we would starve to death; but even if we have plenty of food, but of the wrong kind, our bodies will suffer from a lack of the right food.This is known as malnutrition.

  In primitive countries, people want only the foods which can be grown near their homes, whereas we eat foods which are often grown many thousands of miles away from our homes.Just think of the different types of meat we cat, beef mutton, pork, chicken, turkey, goose, and rabbit.We could manage on a diet of one kind of meat, but how monotonous it would become! Even turkey, which most of us eat only at Christmas, would become monotonous(单调的)if we ate it every day.

  Yet we cannot live on meat alone, and need other foods like bread and fruit to provide us with other essential nutrients which we need to keep our bodies healthy.

  We can agree with primitive man that food is a basic need, but we differ:from him in our food wants because of.the wide variety of food we have available compared with him; we have a wider choice.Take fruit, for example, not only can we enjoy the fruits grown in this country, but because of modem methods of transport and food preservation, we can also enjoy the more exotic fruits from countries thousands of miles away, whereas primitive man, is limited in his choice to the kinds of fruit which actually grow where he lives.

  However they differ in satisfying their hunger primitive and civilized men both experience the basic need for food.

  The same is true of the second of our human needs.Clothing is necessary to regulate the heat of our bodies.Since we live:in a temperate climate we need more clothes than people living in tropic conditions.Likewise, our clothing needs to change with seasons.

  Shelter, the third of our needs, depends upon the climate, the skill of the builder, one's social position, and the materials available.The simple shelter of the aboriginal would not do for US, and yet it satisfies his needs.The three bed roomed suburban house of the average family would not be grand enough for a rich family, and yet the modern house contains many of the material comforts which were denied to the kings and queens of old times.

At East China University of Science and Technology, students will get a coupon(优惠券)if they eat up their food. Students can collect coupons and exchange them for small gifts, such as books, magazines, mobile phone covers and hand warmers.
“It’s been such a surprise,” said Liang Zhaoyun, 19, a student at the university in Shanghai. “It has given us one more motivation to finish our food.”
The measure (措施) is part of a national “eat-up” campaign(行动) which is organized by students to deal with food waste on campuses(校园).
Why only on campuses, you might ask? Because according to a report by Xinhna News Agency, students waste twice as much food as the national average(平均).
The campaign on campus food waste is receiving attention across the country.
“The aim of the campaign is not only to encourage students to finish their food. We hope it can also encourage students to choose a more environment-friendly and healthy lifestyle,” said Tao Siliang, secretary of the Youth League Committee at Shanghai University.
But some school food is poorly prepared, so students do not like to finish it all. Some schools have taken notice of this and they are taking measures to improve it.
“I’m glad that we’ve reduced food waste since the ‘eat-up’ campaign began. But if we call on students to waste less food, we should also improve the service and food standard on campuses.” said Tao
