There are times when most of us would rather eat sweets and ice cream than meat and rice. Sweetsand ice-cream are not bad for the stomach if we eat them at the end of a meal. If weeat them before a meal, they may take away our appetite (胃口). It is important forus to eat our meal at the same time each day. When we feel hungry, it is a sign thatour bodies need food. When we feel angry or excited, we may not want to eat. When weare worried, we may not want to eat, either. A long time ago, in England, some judges used to decide whether a man was telling the truth by giving him some dry bread. Ifthe man could not swallow the bread, it was a sign that he wasn’t tellin g the truth.He was telling a lie.

While the leader in business or industry or thecollege professor occupies a higher social position and commands greater respect inthe community than the common laborer or eern the skilled factory worker, he may takepains to point out that his father started life in America as a farmer or laborer ofsome sort.This attitude toward manual labor is now still seen in many aspects of Americanlife. One is invited to dinner at a home that is not only comfortably but even luxuriouslyfurnished and in which there is every evidence of the fact that the family has beenable to afford foreign travel, expensive hobbies, and college education for the children;yet the hostess probably will cook the dinner herself, will serve it herself and willwash dishes afterward, furthermore the dinner will not consist merely of somethingquickly and easily assembled from contents of various cans and a cake or a pie boughtat the nearby bakery. On the contrary, the hostess usually takes pride in careful preparation of special dishes. A professional may talk about washing the car, diggingin his flowerbeds, painting the house. His wife may even help with these things, justas he often helps her with the dishwashing. The son who is away at college may waiton table and wash dished for his living, or during the summer he may work with a construction gang on a highway in order to pay for his education.26.
