Last weekend, I helped my grandparents prepare for our trip to Xi'an. On Saturday morning, together with them, I searched the Internet for the train schedule, the weather in Xi'an, or some hotel informations. In the afternoon, I went to the train station and manage to buy two tickets for them since there was a long queue. After dinner, I packed all the things that might be need into suitcase. And the next morning, I went to the station to see them away off. Wave goodbye to them on the platform, I felt very happy for them and wished them a safer journey.

Food is a very important and necessary part of our lives.
We eat food because we need it to live. It gives us the nutrients that we need for our bodies to grow.1.If we are happy, we eat; if we are sad, we eat; boredom, depression, and loneliness are other reasons that we eat.2.When we have friends or family over, we usually have some form of food to offer them, whether it is a light snack or a full meal.
3.Many of us like certain foods because we have been raised eating those foods. In many cases, whatever our parents eat or like to eat is what we eventually enjoy eating. The region where we live as well as economics determines much of our food selection. If we lived in China, we would eat a lot of rice because it is what is grown there.4.
Food is also a part of our many celebrations. However, the way that food is used in celebrations varies from home to home, and country to country.5.To understand why different foods are used in different celebrations, we need to understand a little about culture and how it could affect the foods we use.
A. Also, we use food for our social needs.
B. Very often, we eat food for psychological reasons.
C. Nowadays many people choose to eat healthy food.
D. It is affected by different cultures around the world.
E. So our background and environment play a great role in what we eat.
F. Cheap food in one country may be quite expensive in another country.
G. The food that we choose to eat is selected for a number of different reasons.
Having your nose in a book might seem a little anti-social at times — but reading could actually make you a kinder, more considerate person, a study has found. Readers were more likely to act in a socially acceptable manner, while those who preferred watching television came across as less friendly and less understanding of
others' views, researchers said.
123 participants in the study were quizzed on their preferences for books, TV and plays at Kingston University, London. They were then tested on how much they considered people's feelings and whether they acted to help others. Researchers told the British Psychological Society conference in Brighton yesterday that fiction fans showed more positive social behavior.
Readers of drama and romance novels were also empathic, while lovers of experimental books showed the ability to see things from different directions. Comedy fans scored the highest for relating to others. The study suggested reading allows people to see different points of view, enabling them to understand others better.
The researchers added, “Exposure to fiction relates to a range of empathetic abilities. Engaging with fictional prose and comedy in particular could be key to improving people's empathetic abilities.”
However, the authors warned the study did not prove cause-and-effect. So it could be that reading causes positive behavior, or it could be that thoughtful, well-mannered people are more likely to prefer reading. So it is a good idea to pick up a book to begin your travel with the author. Each author will show how they would react to certain situations or confrontations through their characters. Everyone can view the same situation differently, and from 1001 different angles. The more you read, the much better you can understand other peoples' opinions.
