Every country has its favourite food. In some countries, people(人们) eat rice every day. They often eat it with meat, fish and vegetables. Australians(澳大利亚人) eat a lot of fish, and they eat a lot of rice, too. In England(英国), the favourite food is fried fish and French fries. In the USA(美国) people like hamburgers a lot. And they like to have cold drinks. In Canada, people eat bread with butter(黄油) on it. In India, people like to eat hot food. Some people eat only fruit and vegetables. They think green food is good for them. They don't like to eat meat and fish.

    Maybe you pride yourselves on only sleeping a few hours a night. However, are you feeling tired and sleepy throughout the day? Do you have a hard time keeping your eyes open as you study? Have you nodded off while driving? If you can answer “Yes” to any of these, it shows you could not have enough sleep.

    It is suggested that most adults need seven to nine hours' sleep. As for teens, they need even more. If you aren't getting enough sleep, you should：

    Avoid caffeine(避免咖啡因)

    You should avoid drinking caffeinated drinks such as coffee, tea and soda for at least 10 hours before you go to bed.

    Avoid eating big meals before sleeping

    Eating a big meal can make you feel sleepy, and it can make you feel uncomfortable and prevent you from sleeping well.

    Build a healthy sleep environment

    With the light on, can you have a good sleep? Of course not, and you'd better keep your bedroom dark and cool.

    Avoid using electronics before sleeping

    The light from electronics can keep you from falling asleep. Try reading or listening to quiet music instead.

    Please get enough sleep from now on.

    Today teamwork is becoming more and more important in businesses and other jobs. Our society needs people who can work with and get on well with others.

    John Brown, Design Works

    A good team needs people with different skills and talents. The best people can work with others and develop ideas with a team. It's important that everyone uses his talents in work.

    Lee Chung, Computer World

    Good team players are usually friendly and easy to talk to. They are also good at listening to other people. They are happy to share ideas.

Jane Lin, Lin Electricals

    Most teams need a mixture of people. It is great 10 have people with ideas but you also need people who get things done on time. A team made up of people that all have the same skills would not work.

Jim Khan, Northern Bank

    I prefer people who can bring out the best in other people. In a group you can see people that know how to get a team to work together. They understand teams and they can make a team work. A good team is the key to success.

    I finished my cooking course(课程) at the age of 21. I thought I was going to become a world-famous cook. I hoped people would travel from all over the world just to get a taste of my food. But three months later, I knew I was wrong. Since(既然) nobody was travelling to taste my food, I decided I should travel to taste theirs.

    During my travel, I visited many different countries, such as Japan and France, where different kinds of food opened my eyes. I liked the travelling in Italy and China most.

    When in Italy, I learned how to make pizza and salads. We had long lazy lunches in the sun and evening meals where the conversations went on long into the night.

    In China, I loved the hot Sichuan food and enjoyed the delicious Beijing snacks. I also found the joy of making dumplings with good friends.

    My year of travel came to an end too quickly, but I had decided what I should do for the rest(剩余的) of my life. I want to bring the wonderful food of the world into my kitchen in New York.
