8．James Dean was not very tall-he was less than average height．He had thick，light brown hair and blue eyes．He was so near-sighted that he could hardly see anything without his glasses．
He came to Hollywood when he was eighteen，hoping to get into the movies．At first，he was not successful at all，and for a time he was so short of money that he had to live entirely on dry oatmeal．Then he went to New York．He got a part in a play and was seen by the great director Elia Kazan．Kazan was planning the movie East of Eden and realized Dean would be perfect for one of the main roles．
By this time，Dean already had a reputation for being odd and difficult to work with．He then went back to Hollywood to make East of Eden and then made two more movies，Rebel Without a Cause and Giant．He almost always wore the same overcoat and jeans and he had hardly any friends at all．"If he didn't like you，he wouldn't even give you the pleasure of his anger．You could be in the same telephone booth with him，but you wouldn't exist，"someone who knew him said later．
In spite of his poor eyesight，he loved driving fast motorcycles and even faster sports cars．A few days after he finished Giant，on September 25，1955，Dean went for a drive in his new Porsche．It was evening and the light was poor．Dean was not wearing his glasses．Suddenly，he saw a car in front of him．It was slowing down and trying to turn off the highway．Dean tried to slow down too，but it was too late．He hit the car at high speed and was killed immediately．
Two German girls killed themselves when they heard the news because"life would be unbearable without him．"A few years later，a New York salesclerk wrote a book called Jimmy Dean  Returns in which she claimed that she was in contact with Dean from the other side of the grave．Half a million copies of the book were sold．It was only the beginning of a strange legend（传奇）that goes on，even today．

7．The food we eat seems to have profound effects on our health．Although science has made big steps in making food more fit to eat，it has，at the same time，made much food unfit to eat．Some research has shown that perhaps eighty percent of human illness is related to food and forty percent of cancer is related to food as well．That food is related to illness is not a new discovery．In 1945，some researchers realized that things commonly used to keep color in meat and other food additives （添加剂） caused cancer．
Yet，these additives remain in our food，and it is difficult to know which things on the wrappings （包装） of food are helpful or harmful．The additives we eat are not all so direct．Farmers often give penicillin （青霉素） to their animals，and because of this，penicillin had been found in the milk of cows．Sometimes similar things are supplied to animals not for their health，but just to make a profit （利润）．
The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to get higher price on the market．Although some countries have tried to control such things，the practice continues．

6．People have strange ideas about food．For example，tomato is a kind of very delicious vegetable．It is one of the useful plants that can be prepared in many ways．It has rich nutrition （营养） and vitamin in it．But in the 18th century，Americans never ate tomatoes．They grew them in their gardens because tomato plants are so pretty．But they thought the vegetable was poisonous （有毒的）．They called tomatoes"poison apples"．
President Thomas Jefferson，however，knew that tomatoes were good to eat．He was a learned man．He had been to Paris，where he learned to love the taste of tomatoes．He grew many kinds of tomatoes in his garden．The President taught his cook a way to make special tomato soup．This beautiful pink soup was served at the President party．The guests thought the soup tasted really good．They never thought their President would serve his honored guests poison apples．Jefferson never spoke to his honored guests about the fact．

3．Isn't it astonishing how much time we spend talking about food？"Have you ever eaten …？""What did you have for lunch？"and so on．And yet when you travel from one country to another，you will find that people have quite different feelings about food．People often feel that what they eat is normal （正常） and that what other people eat is strange or silly．In most parts of Asia，for example，no meal is complete without rice．In England，people eat potatoes every day．In the Middle East，bread is the main part of every meal．Eating like so many things we do，becomes a habit which is difficult to change．Americans like to drink a lot of orange juice and coffee．The English drink tea four or five times every day．Australians drink a great deal of beer，and the French drink wine every day．
The sort of meat people like to eat also differs from one country to another．Horse meat is thought to be delicious in France．In Hong Kong，some people enjoy eating snakes．New Zealander eat sheep，but they never eat goat meat．The Japanese don't like to eat sheep meat be-cause of its smell，but they enjoy eating raw fish （生鱼）．
