I had walked along the sea for about an hour until I began to feel hungry. It was seven. At that time I was not far from a favorite restaurant of mine, where I often went to eat two or three times a week. I knew the owner well.
I went into the restaurant, which was already crowded, and ordered my meal. While I was waiting, I looked
1 to see if I knew anyone in the restaurant. Then I saw a man sitting at a corner table near the door keeping looking in my direction, as if he knew me. I certainly didnt know him, for I never forgot a 2 . The man had a newspaper 3 in front of him. But I could see that he was keeping an 4 on me. When the waiter brought my soup, the man was 5 puzzled by the familiar way that the waiter and I called each other. He became even puzzled as 6 went on. He could see that I was well 7 in the restaurant. At last, he got up and went into the kitchen. After a few minutes he came out again, 8 for his meal and left.

Today our knowledge of food and what it does for our bodies is far more advanced (先進(jìn)的) than that of the old times. Now we know about vitamins and how each kind of vitamin helps in the growth of a special part of our body. There are on the market all kinds of vitamins which can take to make up for ones lack of certain important things which are needed for good health. Of course, if we eat well and properly, the food that we eat will take care of our body and so there is no need to take any kinds of vitamins unless our doctor tells us that our bodies are short of something which can be supplied by them.
Everything we eat is often good for our body. But if we eat too much of one kind of food and pay too little attention to others, we may have too much of one kind and not enough of others. Then we may be in trouble.
We are often told that we must eat some meat at each meal in order to get the necessary proteins. That is only partly true, for proteins are not found only in meat. We can also get them from some vegetables.
The best advice about what to eat is that we should eat all kinds of food but never too much of any.

If parents bring up a child with the aim of turning the child into a genius, they will cause great damage to him. According to several leading educational psychologists, this is one of the biggest mistakes which some parents make. Generally, the child will understand very well what the parents expect, and will fail. Unrealistic parental expectations can cause great damage to children. However, if parents are not unrealistic about what they expect their children to do, but are hopeful in a proper way, the child may succeed in doing very well—especially if the parents are very supportive of their children.
Michael Lee is very lucky. He is very fond of music, and his parents help him a lot by taking him to concerts and arranging private piano and violin lessons for him. They even drive him 50 kilometers twice a week for violin lessons. Although Michaels mother knows very little about music, Michaels father plays the trumpet in a large orchestra. However, he never makes Michael enter music competitions if he is unwilling to.
Michaels friend, Wilson Chen, however, is not so lucky. Both his parents are successful musicians, and they set too high a standard for Wilson. They want their son to be as successful as they are and so they enter him in every piano competition held. They are very unhappy when he does not win. “When I was at your age, I used to win every competition I entered.” Wilsons father tells him. Wilson is always afraid that he will disappoint his parents and now he is always quiet and unhappy.endprint

Its shadow (影子) appeared in Du Xuans cup. Du Xuan took the shadow for a snake. He was f 32 but he didnt refuse out of politeness. He drank the wine w 33 his eyes closed.
When he was back at home he felt so sick that he could h 34 eat and drink any more. He sent for the doctor and took some m 35 , but nothing could cure him. W 36 Ying Chen went to ask Du Xuan how he got so seriously ill, Du told him about the snake in the wine. Chen returned home, thought hard, b 37 he could not find an answer. S 38 the bow on the wall caught his eyes. “Thats it!” he shouted. He immediately sent for Du Xuan. He seated him where he sat before and offered him a cup of wine. Du Xuan saw the snake-like shadow again.
