Researchers have found that men and women take in more calories(卡路里) when looking at their phones while eating. They also eat more fatty food.The study suggests that staring(盯) at a phone screen may distract(使.分心)people from how much food they are eating. It may prevent the correct understanding of the brain over the total food they have eaten, said researchers who filmed 62 volunteers eating by themselves.The men and women, aged 18 to 28, were invited to help themselves to a choice of food from healthy food to soft drinks and chocolate - until they got feelings of satisfaction(满足). In three periods, the volunteers were recorded eating with no distractions, using a smartphone or reading a magazine.The study shows that the volunteers ate 535 calories without the distraction of a smartphone but591 when using a mobile: They also ate more when reading a magazine.The study went on at the Federal University of Lavras in Brazil and University Medical Center Utrecht in the Netherlands. Using smartpbones during a meal increased(提高calorie and fat intake,said Marcio Gilberto Zangeronimoa, a leader of the study.

Suddenly there was something wrong with the plane when it was flying in the air. The smoke was everywhere in the plane. The pilot told the people there were only three parachutes (降落伞). They all became worried and started to make excuses.“I must go and mend (维修) the machine.” said the pilot, taking one of the parachutes. There was nothing he could do so he just jumped out.The next person said, “I must have a parachute. I am a very clever person, and I have to take part in an important sports game. I know I am going to win the game because I am going to be the cleverest person there.” He picked up a pack and jumped out.Two men were left (留了下来), an old businessman, and a young mountain climber. By this time the plane was going down fast. The businessman said, “Young man, I am old but youre still young.

Something that sounds rude in one country may be the most polite thing to do in another. Here lists some of them.SpittingPeople think spitting on or at someone is one of the worst behaviors, and the police even consider it is a kind of attack. But in Africa, the members of the Maasai have a different way of seeing things. When polite children pass by, their elders usually spit at them. Of course, they do this with best wishes. They wish children to live a long life. They also spit on any gift they are about to give. When they move into a new house, they first go outside and spit in the four directions.FlowersFlowers are usually sent when people have parties, visit friends, thank others and so on. But sometimes its rude to give flowers. In Germany and France people use carnations(康乃馨)to decorate tombs(墓碑). Yellow flowers represent hate in Russian and Iran, and purple flowers are bad luck in Italy and Brazil. Even the number of flowers can be rude. In France and America, an even(偶数) number of flowers is for happiness and odd numbers are for sadness.Cleaning your plateWhen we were young, our parents always told us to clean our plate and not to waste food. However, in some countries, a clean plate may make trouble for the host. In Philippines, North Africa, and some areas of China, the host will put more food on a plate once it is clean. Only when a guest leaves a little bit of food on his plate, the host will think he is full. Or a clean plate means the gust doesnt get good service.To do the right thing when we are in other places, wed better respect and follow the traditions, even though we think they are strange.32 .
