Healthy eating begins with learning how to “eat smart”. It’s not just what you eat,. how you eat. Pay attention to what you eat and choosing foods that are both nourishing enjoyable helps support an overall healthy diet.
Take time to chew your food: Chew your food slowly, savoring every bite. We tend to rush through our meals, forgetting to actually taste the flavors and feel the textures(质地) of is in our mouths. Reconnect with joy of eating.
Avoid stress while eating: Avoid eating while working, driving, arguing, or watching TV. Try taking some deep breaths before beginning your meal, or light candles and play soothing music to create a relaxing atmosphere.
Listen to your body: Ask if you are really hungry. You may really be thirsty, so try drinking a glass of water first. During a meal, stop eating before you feel full. It actually takes a few minutes your brain to tell your body that it has had food, so eat slowly.

In Europe, men do not usually wear skirts. But the Scottish national clothing for men is a kind of skirt. It is called a kilt. The Scottish like to be different. They are also proud of their country and its history, and they feel that the kilt is part of that history. That's why the men still wear kilts at traditional (传统的) dances and on national holidays. They believe they are wearing the same clothes that Scottish men always used to wear.
That's what they believe. However, kilts are not really so old. Before 1730, Scottish men wore a long shirt and blanket around their shoulders. These clothes got in the way when the men started to work in factories. So, in 1730 a factory owner changed the blanket into a skirt; the kilt. That's how the first kilt was made.
Then, in the late 1700s Scottish soldiers in the British Army began to wear kilts. One reason for this was national sentiment ( = feelings) . The Scottish soldiers wanted to be different from the English soldiers. The British Army probably had a different reason. A Scottish soldier in a kilt was always easy to find! The Scottish soldier fought very hard and became famous. The kilt was part of the fame, and in the early 1800s men all around Scotland began to wear kilts.
These kilts had colorful stripes (条纹) going up and down and across. In the 1700s and early 1800s, the color of the stripes had no special meaning. Men sometimes owned kilts in several different colors. But later the colors became important to the Scottish families. By about 1850, most families had special colors for their kilts. For example, men from the Campbell family had kilts with green, yellow and blue stripes. Scottish people often believe that the colors of the kilts are part of their family history. In fact, each family just chose the color they liked best.
This is not the story you will hear today if you are in Scotland. Most Scottish people still believe that kilts are as old as Scotland and that the colors are as old as the Scottish families. Sometimes feelings are stronger than facts!

[ ]

Today, we complete our story about the influential English writer William Shakespeare. He wrote plays and poems during the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries, which remain very popular today.
During earlier times, people would probably have learned several ancient Roman and Greek plays. It was not unusual for writers to produce more current versions of these works. For example, in Shakespeare's play "The Comedy of Errors"(《错误的喜剧》)Shakespeare borrowed certain details from the ancient Roman writer Plautus. For his play "Macbeth"(《麦克白》), Shakespeare most likely used a work on Scottish history by Raphael Holinshed for information. Shakespeare might have borrowed from other writers, but the intensity(强度)of his imagination and language made the plays his own. While many plays by other writers of his time have been forgotten, Shakespeare and his art live on.
Shakespeare was also influenced by the world around him. He described the sights and sounds of London in his plays. His works include observations about political struggles, the fear of diseases, and the popular language of the city’s tradesmen. Shakespeare's knowledge of the English countryside is also clear. His works include descriptions of deep forests, local flowers, and the ancient popular traditions of rural people.
It would be impossible to list all of the ways in which Shakespeare’s works have influenced the world culture. But the first and greatest example would be his great influence on the English language. During his time, the English language was changing. Many new words from other languages were being added. Shakespeare used his sharp mind and poetic inventiveness to create hundreds of new words and rework old ones. For example, he created the noun forms of "critic", "mountaineer” and "eyeball". Many common expressions in English come from his plays, including "pomp and circumstance(装腔作势)"from "Othello"(《奥赛罗》), "full circle(绕圈子地)" from "King Lear"(《李尔王》), etc. The list of cultural creations influenced by Shakespeare is almost endless. From paintings to television to music and dance, Shakespeare was well represented. Shakespeare's plays have been translated into every major language in the world.
Shakespeare became a well-known writer during a golden age of theater. His years of hard work paid off.

Everyone has an ambition(志向) to travel. But those who cannot do so themselves might find it interesting to work in a travel agency (旅行社),arranging journeys for other people. Brian Lawtey does this,working in a small travel agency in the industrial city. Most of his work is concerned with holiday,both at home and abroad. Every autumn,the agency sends out hundreds of booklets (小册子) full of attractive,colored photographs,describing the holidays that their customers will be able to have the next year. Soon,people begin to come into the office to book their holidays:perhaps a week’s skiing in Austria in January,perhaps a cruise (巡游) to the Caribbean in February,perhaps a seaside holiday in Spain in May,or a tour of Africa. Brian often has to advise people on what holidays will be suitable for them,and they always have a lot of questions. Last year,for example,a lady of eighty-two wanted to book for a mountaineering (爬山) holiday in the Alps (阿尔卑斯山),and Brian had great difficulty in persuading her that it would not be suitable. In the end,she decided to go for a Mediterranean cruise instead.
Arranging journeys for people who have to travel abroad on business is often very complicated,but Brian enjoys this work. For example,last spring Mr. Perry,a director of a chemical firm,went on a business trip,and Brian arranged it all for him. First,Mr. Perry traveled to London by train,and stayed overnight in a hotel near the airport,because his plane left early the next morning. He flew to Frankfurt in Germany,where he spent the morning discussing business. Then he went on by train to Zurich (苏黎世),where he stayed the night. After a meeting the next morning,he caught a plane for Tokyo,and spent three days there before going to America. He had business in Seattle (西雅图),Chicago and New York,and stayed some time in each of those places. From New York,he flew back to London,and then got home by train. The next day he telephoned the agency to thank Brian for arranging everything so well for him.
