There will be

13、some people who come to you with unconnected knowledge, talking about, say, Vitamin B12 and other modern _42_. When they ask advice, begin at that level. Unless you start at their own level, they will not be able to understand. You must explain to them in scientific terms the effects of the food the

14、y eat, and how they need to _43_ it.You have to train yourself to be very _44_. Staying at one level is not being a free man. If we stay at a very high level all the time, that is not practical. A limitless person goes _45_ from one level of thinking to another, according to his circumstances. To do

15、 this we must get rid of our unwillingness to change our way of thinking or behavior, become friends with everyone, and have the same loving feelings for everyone. Then we can give advice to all kinds of people. If there is someone or something you dislike, you are still _46_, and your ability to gi

Even today cultures survive on only the wild food they find. Among others, foraging has become more of a _52_ activi

19、ty, in France and Spain, _53_, many people look for mushrooms in the autumn. Foe the British, foraging was a very important way to keep healthy in the past, _54_ during the Second World War when there was less food in the shops.

20、all used to improve their _56_. In recent decades foraging has often been something people do in developing countries, not developed ones. In developed countries, modern agricultural methods have led to _57_ in what people eat and where they get their food. With the growth of supermarkets, people ca

21、n now buy seasonal foods any day of the year and they no longer need to forage. The pace of life these days is also faster. _58_, many people prefer to buy all their food from shops and supermarkets because it saves time and energy, both of which foraging requires._59_, things are changing once agai

22、n and in the last few years, foraging has become _60_ in those countries with supermarkets.

In some of these restaura

It was hanging at a secondhand clothing store. While the other coats looked rather depressed, this one looked as if

29、 it were holding itself up. The thick, black wool of the chesterfield (長大衣) was soft and unworn. It was beautifully tailored and had an unbelievable price tag of $28. We looked at each other, saying nothing, but Johns eyes shone. Dark, woolen coats were popular with teenage boys, but could cost seve

30、ral hundred dollars new. This coat was even better, bearing that touch of classic elegance from long ago. John tried it on and turned from side to side, eyeing himself in the mirror with a serious, studied expression that soon changed into a smile. The fit was perfect.John wore the coat to school th

31、e next day and came home with a grin. “How did the kids like your coat?” I asked. “They loved it!” he said merrily, carefully folding it over the back of a chair and smoothing it flat.Over the next few weeks, a change came over John. Agreement replaced protest, quiet, reasoned discussion replaced ar

32、gument. He become more sensible, more polite, more thoughtful, eager to please. “Good dinner, Mom,” he would say every evening. One day when I suggested that he might start on his homework before dinner, John, who always put things off, said, “Youre right. I guess I will.” When I mentioned this inci

33、dent to one of his teachers and remarked that I didnt know what caused the changes, she said laughing. “It must be his coat!” At the library, we ran into a friend who had not seen our children for a long time, “Could this be John?” he asked, looking up to Johns new height, assessing the style of his

34、 coat and extending his hand, one gentleman to another.Sometimes, watching John leave for school, Im reminded of what it felt like to be at his age-a time when it was as easy to try on different approaches to life as it was to try on a coat.Why did Johns eyes shine when he saw the coat?A.

39、hake hands when they meet and often also greet each other with a small, polite bow. Business cards should be offered and received with two hands. Arriving late is considered disrespectful. So be on time. Efficiency is the goal, so meetings and dealings often are fast-paced. Singaporeans are direct i

40、n their discussions, even when the subject is about money. Rank is important and authority is respected. This determines both people interact in meetings. For example, people avoid disagreeing outright with someone with a higher rank.In the United Arab Emirates In the UAE, status is important, so th

41、e most senior or oldest should be greeted first with their titles. The handshake seems to be longer than elsewhere. So, do not pull away the handshake. Women should cover themselves when it comes to dress. Men also tend to be covered from neck to elbows(肘部) and down to the knees. People do not avoid

42、 entertaining in their homes, but they also hold business meals at restaurants. Touching or passing food or eating with your left hand is to be avoided.

43、nly be accepted if it is always set out or presented.In Switzerland The Swiss tend to be formal and address each other by last name. They also are respectful of private lives.

54、nybody in the world, who would it be? Your neighbour or a super star? A few people have experienced what it might be like to step into the skin of another person, thanks to an unusual virtual reality(虛擬現實) device. Rikke Wahl, an actress, model and artist, was one of the participants in a body swappi

55、ng experiment at the Be Another lab, a project developed by a group of artists based in Barcelona. She swapped with her partner, an actor, using a machine called The Machine to Be Another and temporarily became a man. As I looked down, I saw my whole body as a man, dressed in my partners pants, she

56、said. Thats the picture I remember best. The set-up is relatively simple. Both users wear a virtual reality headset with a camera on the top. The video from each camera is sent to the other person, so what you see is the exact view of your partner. If she moves her arm, you see it. If you move your

57、arm, she sees it.To get used to seeing another persons body without actually having control of it, participants start by raising their arms and legs very slowly, so that the other can follow along. Eventually, this kind of slow synchronised(同步的) movement becomes comfortable, and participants really

58、start to feel as though they are living in another persons body. Using such technology promises to alter peoples behaviour afterwards-potentially for the better. Studies have shown that virtual reality can be effective in fighting racism-the bias(偏見) that humans have against those who dont look or sound like them. Researchers at the University of Barcelona gave people a questionnaire called the Implicit Associati
