24、Eating out may be a simple thing, but for British people who have just come to America, it could be an experience full of surprises. Here are four main differences a British people should pay attention to when eating out in a restaurant in America.
_________
Waiters in American restaurants always like talking and often come to your table during the meal to fill drinks again and check if everything is okay. In England, waiters don't often check on customers. If you need something, you can raise your hand and wave at the waiter.
The menu
In an American restaurant, you can order salad according to your own needs. However, people in England prefer to order a meal with all the choice coming with the menu. It is less common for them to complain about the food or have the waiter send dishes back to the kitchen.
Picking up the bill
In America, a waiter will bring you the bill even though you have not asked for it. This would be seen as very rude by British customers, as it shows that they are being hurried out of the restaurant.
Tipping
You will tip if you are happy about the meal and service. If you are not happy, you do not need to tip and this is quite common. In America, a tip of 15-20% is a must. Even if the service is bad, you should still tip.

27、What makes people gain weight? This seems like a simple enough question to answer. If we eat a lot and don’t do enough exercise, we will become fat. However, the science behind weight problems is more complicated than we think.
As we know, what we eat greatly affects our weight. It is widely accepted that people have 100% control over what they eat and how much they eat. This, however, is only partly true. People form habits around food at a young age. You may rarely touch vegetables while overeating fried chicken. Meanwhile, the serving size and the background music can both affect how much we eat.
Our bodies themselves can decide whether we are more likely to gain weight or lose weight. Scientists have found that the more delicious the food is, the more excited our brains get. If we often have delicious food, over time, our brains will change. Compared to people of normal weight, fat people feel more excited when they see delicious food.
Now you know why fat people often have a tough time losing weight. They may have tried very hard. but their bodies are working against their will.
Also, our bodies use a variety of hormones (激素) to tell our brains whether they are hungry or full. Ghrelin, for example, tells the brain that the body wants food. Leptin, meanwhile, tells the brain that it’s time to stop eating. Ghrelin and leptin help us to maintain a healthy weight. But sometimes, they may work improperly. As we get fatter, the levels of leptin in our bodies rise. Our brains are told not to eat all the time. In the end, they would no longer trust Leptin and would stop responding to its “warnings”. When we start to lose weight, Leptin levels drop. Our brains think we are hungry and make us find food in our fridges.
【1】The following can affect what or how much we eat EXCEPT ______.
A.eating habits
B.serving size
C.background music
D.the colour of food
【2】Which is the best for the blank in the picture?
A.Ghrelin maintains a healthy weight.
B.Hunger causes Ghrelin levels to rise.
C.Ghrelin works against a person’s will.
D.Brain responds lo Ghrelin’s “warning”.
【3】The underlined word “they” in the last paragraph refers to ______.
A.our bodies
B.our brains
C.the warmings
D.the levels
【4】In which section of the newspaper would you probably read this article?
A.Health.
B.Education.
C.Environment.
D.Fashion.

As we all know, Jiaozi is a kind of traditional Chinese food, with a history of around 1,800 years. Do you know how it was invented?
