It (cancer) has something to 8 how often you eat certain foods and how much of them you eat," Huang said. 9 you really like eating salted fish, you can eat a small amount once or twice a month.

    To a Chinese, English is not so easy to learn. I have met many difficulties in the past seven years in learning English. But I managed them and made much progress.

    I can well remember the spelling and meaning of the words is the first difficulty I met as a beginner. But I out my own way to deal with them. As for spelling, I never copied new word again and again to remember it. As for meaning, I rarely recite its Chinese but often put the word into the sentence to learn meaning. Moreover, if you use a word quite often, its spelling and meaning will be no problem. About grammar and idioms, I have not read lots of grammar books. I only know some ordinary grammatical rules. By doing so, I come to taste out "a sense of English language". I can feel a sentence is good English or not. , I want to say that overcoming all these difficulties needs perseverance. Every day, I spend least an hour on English. I believe, this is an reason why I'm able to make progress in English.

    The British Museum is the biggest museum in the world. Inside, you feel smaller than usual. There are many things to see.

    The story of the British Museum goes back three hundred years to one unusual man, Sir Hans Sloane, doctor of King George II. The doctor collected books, drawings, clothes, money, animals, flowers, things from all over the world. The doctor wanted everything to stay together when he died, so that people could come and have a look. The British Museum began. King George II gave his library, and the museum started to grow.

    The British Museum opened in 1759, six years after Sir Hans Sloane died. At first the museum was only open three days a week and only ten people could enter in an hour. There wasn't much time to see things. Visitors had to run through the rooms.

    By about 1800, things began to get better. Wonderful statues, three thousand years old, arrived from Egypt. King George IV sold all his books to the museum secretly. A hundred years ago not only old books but also new ones arrived at the museum, and more people came to read them. Since then many famous men have written and studied there, like Karl Marx. And the library is growing faster and faster. There are four kilometers of new shelves every year and there are about two million visitors every year.

    Tea culture is varied in different countries by the way tea is made and drunk, and by the places for tea drinking. How to make tea may be different. According to the ways of making tea, tea is classified (分类) into white tea, green tea, black tea, etc. And how to prepare tea may be different, too. In Tibet, tea is commonly boiled with salt and butter. People may drink tea at home or in public, for example, at tea houses.

    As a part of culture, tea has a relationship with history, health, education, communication and so on. It is commonly used at social activities. For example, afternoon tea is a British custom. Families or friends can communicate with each other while having afternoon tea.

    Tea has remained a way of daily life in China ________ It makes people less tired, clears heat in the human body and helps people lose weight.

    Chinese people are good at using tea to make other things delicious. Tea, originally (最初) served as a medicine in ancient times, is now not just a kind of drink, but also excellent seasoning (调味品). Here are two delicious dishes made with tea:

    Tea Eggs: You can find them cooked and sold in street markets in almost every city in China.

    Dragon Well Tea Shrimp (龙井虾仁): It's one of the most well-known dishes in Hangzhou.

    Before you drink tea, please check the following tips:

    "What? You too? I thought I was the only one." Have you ever said to someone? If so, you may have ended up becoming friends.

    It seems that similarity often helps form a friendship. Aristotle once said, "Some define (给……下定义) it (friendship) as a matter of similarity; they say that we love those who are like ourselves."

    Now, there are some scientific explanations for this idea. The scientists from the University of California said friends have similar brains, Scientific American reported.

    The scientists invited 42 university students to take part in a scientific test. Each student watched the same set of videos. At the same time, the scientists scanned (扫描) their brains and recorded their brain activities.

    According to their study, friends who watched the same videos reacted (反应) in similar ways. Similar parts of their brains lit up while watching the videos, especially the parts that were connected with motivation, learning and memory. However, people who weren't friends had different reactions to the same videos.

    "Having close friends whose brains react like ours may be rewarding because it reinforces (加强) one's own values, opinions and interests," lead scientist Carolyn Parkinson told Business Insider.

    But brain similarity is not the only thing that can result in a friendship. Scientists from the University of Leipzig, Germany, found that a friendship is also based on how physically close you are to someone. They did a scientific test on first-year college students who met in class for the first time. In this test, students who sat next to each other were more likely to become friends.

Good Habits of Successful People

    Ninety-five percent of the successful achievers practice writing down their goals, plans, or visions for success on a regular basis. Successful people do this the night before, or early in the morning.

    President Obama, Richard Branson and Tim Cook are known to be early risers. Because early risers are able to start their days ahead of everyone else to respond to others, exercise and find some personal time, they tend to be happier and more proactive (积极的).

Additionally, 86 percent of the wealthy love to read with an impressive 88 percent claiming that they read for self-improvement for 30 minutes or more per day.
