Eating out is more popular in Britain today than it has ever been. It is reported that British people spend more eating out than cooking for themselves and eating at home. It seems that many British people are becoming more and more interested in how good their food tastes, and also how healthy it is.

However, eating out can also be expensive, so British people do not eat out every night. When having a date with friends, or having a birthday, many people like to go to a restaurant, and people often also eat in a restaurant before going to the cinema or the theater.

As in all cultures, there are many rules of manners about eating. The knife and fork should be used in the correct way. It is also impolite to speak with your mouth full then you are eating.
   Most British cities have a large collection of food as well as British food, from the very cheap to the very expensive—French, Italian, Indian, Chinese, Thai, Japanese and many, many more.

When people are too tired to cook after work, they often get a "takeaway". This means that they order from a take－out restaurant by telephone, and then go to get it. Many take-out restaurants also send it to your house. All you have to do is to open the door, pay and eat!

Do you like robots?What can robots do? Let's have a look at the following three robots and findout the answers.

First Man is a picture book and it tells the story of Yang Liwei flying into space.

Yang Liwei is an astronaut. He was born on June 21st, 1965 in Huludao, Liaoning. He took the Shenzhou 5 spaceship and entered (进入) space in 2003. He is famous as China's first man in space.

To remember China's first trip to space, the picture book First Man was born. By reading the book, readers are able to know the travel in space. With beautiful pictures and the exciting story, the book tells readers about space science in an interesting way.

There is a surprise (意外,惊喜) in the book—a picture of a rabbit looking at the moon. China is looking forward to standing on the moon. With the development (发展) of science and technology (科技), the dream may come true soon.

We usually send and receive information through the movement of our bodies. Body language can show different feelings. We often use gestures(手势) or body movements to show and express our mind. For example, when someone is giving a talk, he or she may often use his or her hands to emphasize(强调) points.

The victory(胜利) sign, the OK sign, the goodbye wave and the blowing of a kiss are all popular gestures in America. However, most of these gestures are not accepted(接受) by people in other countries. For example, the OK gesture means acceptance in America, but it has other meanings in other countries. In France, it means worthlessness(无价值), while in Greece it is a sign of quite disrespect(不尊重).

There are some other differences in the non-verbal(非语言的) messages of people of different sexes(性别). In American culture, men usually sit or stand with their legs apart and hands outward, while women usually keep their legs together and their hands at their sides. Women sit quietly than men most of the time. Women are also better than men at expressing themselves using gestures.

In short, body language is simple and useful, so we should learn how to use it in our daily lives.
