AIsn't it astonishing how much time we spend talking about food? “Have you ever ea ten …?”“What did you have for lunch?”a nd 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 tochange. 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. Horsemeat 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).So it seems that although eating is a topic we can talk about for hours, there is very little common sense in what we say it. People everywhere enjoy eating what they have always eaten, and there is very little we can do to change our eating habits. 21. Which of the following is true according to the article?A.

This is what you see on Valentine‟s Day, a day named after Valentine who was a priest in the third century Rome. When the emperor (皇帝) decided that single men could become better soldiers than those with wives, he didn‟t allow marriage.But Valentine continued to perform marriage ceremonies for young lovers in secret. When his actions were discovered, the emperor sentenced him to death. While in prison, it is said that Valentine fell in love with the daughter of his prison guard.

First, makeyour characters believable. Make sure that they behave and talk as individuals. In real life, everyone is unique. If all your characters speak the same way and react to things in the same way, you will lose your readers from the start.Once your readers believe in your characters, you must get them to care. Eachreader must be able to identify with at least one character, to almost become that character in his or her mind. You can do this by developing characters with real human personalities （个性）, both good and bad. The individuals who populate your story should have humanstrengths and weaknesses.Now it's time to weave your tale, to create a plot(情节). Your readers are part of the story now; they are involved.One last thing, your story must touch the readers' emotions. If you can make them laugh and cry along with your characters, you will be a successful writer. 33.
