Eating habits are different in many countries. The Chinese have a saying, “Eat good things for breakfast, eat a big meal for lunch, but eat less at dinner.” Many Americans agree that one should start the day with a good breakfast, but their ideas about lunch and dinner are different.

Most Americans only give themselves a short time for lunch. So they eat a small meal. After work they will have more time to eat a big dinner. Also a quiet dinner at home with all the family members talking about their day is a way to rest (休息）after a long, hard day of work.

Eating at restaurant is also different. In China, people like to talk and laugh while eating. Very often you can hear people talking and laughing loudly, and they are just having a good time. In America, it is not like this. People want a quiet place where they can eat a good meal far away from the noise (噪音）of the outside world. If some people are talking too loudly, the manager (经理）may come out and ask them to leave.

We usually understand when someone speaks or writes to us, and many gestures have meanings, too. But few of us ever considered what and how we eat as a way of communication. The food people eat during celebrations and ceremonies (仪式) can symbolize (象征) many things. In many cultures, people share food at meal times. Sharing bread or other foods is a common human tradition that can improve trust. Food can also have a particular (特别的) meaning, and play an important role in a family or culture’s celebrations or traditions. The foods we eat—and when and how we eat them—are often unique to a particular culture, or may even differ between the country and the city one country.

In most cultures, bread represents nourishment (营养). It is also one of the most commonly shared foods in the world. Sharing bread, whether at a special time or at the family dinner table, is a common symbol of companionship and togetherness. In fact, the word “companion” comes from the Latin com (together) and panis (bread). Many cultures also celebrate birthdays and marriages with beautifully decorated cakes that are cut and shared among the guests. Early types of cakes were simply a kind of bread, so this tradition has its root (根源) in the custom of sharing bread.

Food also plays an important role in many New Year celebrations. In the southern United States, pieces of cornbread represent blocks of gold for prosperity (繁荣) in the new year. In Greece, people share a special cake called vasilopita. A coin is baked into the cake, which represents success in the New Year for the person who receives it. Most of the foods eaten during the Chinese New Year have symbolic meanings. Sometimes this is based on their shape; for example, long noodles symbolize long life. The symbolism can also be based on the sound of the word in Chinese. For example, people give out oranges because the word for “orange” sounds like the word for “good luck”.

One day, on a small farm in Maine, a man sat in a barn watching a large spider(蜘蛛) on a web. The man was E.B. White -- or Andy, as he was called -- who thought spiders were wonderful creatures. He thought one day he might like to write a children’s book about a spider.

But writing was hard work for Andy. He had written articles and essays and poems.He had also written one children’s book, Stuart Little. But Andy could never just rush to turn an idea into an article or a book. He told his editor (编辑) that he needed to let his ideas ripen.

So for years, Andy continued to think about writing a children’s book about a spider. He did some of his best thinking while he walked slowly around his farm.

Once while he was cleaning his barn, he found a spider’s egg sac (卵囊). Andy wanted to see the eggs hatch(孵蛋). But he was going to leave for New York City. So he found a small box and carefully placed the egg sac inside. When he got to his hotel, he put the box on the dresser. The next morning , there were hundreds of baby spiders rushing across the dresser!

Years later, Andy finally began writing Charlotte’s Web, the story of a spider named Charlotte and a pig named Wilbur.
