Foods that are well known to you may not be familiar to people from different places around the world. Tourists and travelers often get to try some unfamiliar food. That is part of the fun of traveling. Here are four people's experiences with foreign food.

David King is a Chinese student in France. “I never had cheese or even milk before I came to France. Cows are seldom seen in my part of China. So there is no milk or milk products. I drank some milk when I first arrived in France. I hated it! I tried cheese, too, but I didn't like it. I love ice cream, though that's made from milk.”

Birgit is from Sweden. She traveled to Australia on vocation. "I was in a restaurant that was special in fish. I heard some other people order flake, so I ordered some, too. It was delicious! Later, I learned that flakes is an Australian name for shark. Now, whenever I see a new food, I try it on purpose. You know why? I remember how much I enjoyed flake.”

Chandra is a dentist in Texas. She is from India. “ I'm afraid to try new foods because maybe there is beef in them. I'm a Hindu(印度教信徒)and my religion(信仰) stops me from eating meat from the cow. That's why I can't eat hamburgers or noodles with meatballs.”

Nathan is from the United States. He taught for a year in China. “My friend gave me some 100-year-old eggs to eat. I didn't like their appearance at all. The eggs were green inside, but my friends said the color was normal. Chinese people put something on fresh eggs. Then they put them in the earth for three months. So the eggs weren't really very old. Even so, I didn't want to touch them.”

It was a Sunday morning. Helen and Jim were taking a walk on a beach. It was a quiet beach and there were no other people. They felt very relaxed and happy, walking in the sunshine.

Then Jim saw a bottle (瓶子) on the beach. He picked it up and found something in it. He took it out. Helen ran to look and said, "Wow! A treasure (宝藏) map! Let's follow it."

"OK. We are here and the treasure is here. Let's go! I'll read," said Jim.

"Walk north 100 meters. Stop at a big tree. Turn right and then go straight. Stop when you get to the river. Cross the bridge. Turn left and walk along the river. Stop in front of a big rock (岩石). The treasure is behind the big rock."

"Here!" Jim said excitedly.

"There is a box!" said Helen. In the box was a very old note (便条).

Dear finder,

Sorry. Ihad totake mytreasure away, becauseI needed to buy a new boat.

Bye,

Owner (主人) of thetreasure

Jim and Helen were disappointed and had to go back.

Saturday, March 24^th

We arrived in the hot, wet city—Bangkok. This is our first trip to Thailand. All the different smells make us want to try the food. We are going to eat something special for dinner tonight. The hotel we are staying in is cheap and very clean. We plan to stay here for a few days, visit some places in the city, and then travel to Chiang Mai in the North.

Tuesday, March 27^th

Bangkok is wonderful and surprising! The places are interesting. We visited the famous market which was on water, and saw a lot of fruit and vegetables. Everything is so colorful, and we took lots of photos there! Later today we will leave for Chiang Mai. We will take the train there and stay there for two days, and then catch a bus to Chiang Rai.

Friday, March 30^th

Our bus ride to Chiang Rai was long and boring. We visited a small village in the mountains. The village people here love the quiet life-no computers or phones. They are the kindest people I have ever met. They always smile and say "hello". Kathy and I can only speak a few words of Thai, so smiling is the best way to show our kindness. I feel good here, but we must go home. I hope to be able to come back next year.

If music makes you smarter and exercise helps you to think, surely exercising to music can turn you into a clever person.

A team of scientists did research on 33 people who were getting better from heart problems after receiving medical care. They found those people exercised while listening to music. The Four Seasons did much better on language ability(能力)tests than without music. Doctors also use it on people who have had head hurts because it has a beautiful melody.

"Exercise seems to cause changes in the nerve(神经) system and these changes may improve the learning ability of people with heart problems," said Charles Emery. "And listening to music is thought to enhance understanding. We just wanted to put the two results together," he added.

The people said they felt better emotionally and physically after exercising with or without music. But their improvement on the test doubled after listening to music during exercise. Scientists have showed that music can be good for health and education. It helps reduce stress and sadness, encourage relaxation or sleep, wake up the body and improve memory and thoughts.

Scientists have been studying the results of exercise to music on learning and understanding since the early 1950s. A study showed that students who listened to Mozart's violin pieces and exercised went on to get higher marks in an IQ test. With important exams drawing near, your parents will not probably allow you to listen to music or play sports. But perhaps now you have good reasons to argue with them.
