    In today's society, everyone is busy and running at a fast pace every day. We feel our time is valuable and needs to be used well. We need cheap meal ideas that can help us save time and money and still provide a healthy and nutritious (有营养的) dinner for us and our family.

    The fast food makers know we have little time and that the idea of cooking dinner after a long day at work is not something we look forward to. So the fast food makers offer us cheap food that requires no cooking, no cleaning, and only 25 minutes to pick up.

    But eating so much fast food will cause body fatness and fast food is not nutritious, so it's not the healthiest choice to consider. There are some very cheap meal ideas that take almost no time to prepare and will make coming home for a good meal more enjoyable.

    The first cheap meal idea is one dish which includes meat, vegetables and rice. This is not only a cheap meal idea, but also it is fast because it can be made in only 20 minutes.

    You can quickly make some pancakes and scrambled eggs for the family in about 30 minutes. If you think it is strange to eat breakfast food for dinner, consider how the same foods give you what you need to go through a whole day.

    Another cheap meal idea to try is a “macaroni and cheese with meat” dish, which only takes around 20 minutes to cook.

If you are interested in these cheap meal ideas, you're welcome to visit our website for details. When you fix one of these or other cheap meal ideas at home, you are taking time out of your busy day to treat yourself and your family in a special way.

    The speed and convenience of modern travel makes the faraway countries be reached quickly and easily now.

    Even though they now seem closer, they may still be different from your home country. So it is important to change your behavior so that you can get on well with local people. Following are some basic rules that will make communication easier, and your trip more enjoyable.

    First, never raise your voice in order to make yourself understood. If you don't know the word for something in the local language, try to draw a picture or point to the thing. Before you travel, you can also learn some basic words or phrases of the local language, such as words for please, thank you, and may I, as well as basic greetings

    Second, consider the culture of the country you plan to visit and read about the rules related to clothing. You ca bring some clothes such as shirts or T-shirts that cover your shoulders, and long trousers.

    Avoid topics（话题） that you think may be sensitive. If a topic is sensitive in your own culture, it will likely be the same in other cultures. Feel free to show interest in the history and customs of the place that you are visiting, but don't ask questions about why things are done a certain way, because you may make the local people unhappy.

    Keep in mind that in many cultures, showing affection in public isn't allowed. Kissing on the street or in public should be avoided. If you are unsure of how to behave, watch the local people and copy them.

    Finally, if you wish to take a gift, do some research. The idea of the perfect gift is different greatly from country to country, and one of the easiest ways to make someone angry is to give the wrong gift.

    Parents are the most important people in your life. They have looked after you since you were born, so you should always love them. You should get on well with them. But some children don't know how to do this. Here are some ways to help you.

    Spend more time with your parents. Don't spend too much time playing computer games or watching TV. Instead you can ask your parents to play with you. You can talk or go outside with them if they have time.

    Be kind to your parents. You can make them happy with a smile when you come home. You can send your mother a card on Mothers' Day or tell your father a joke on his birthday. You can also clean your room by yourself.

    Work hard. If you do your best in your studies, your parents will be proud (自豪的) of you.

Information Card

Do you know someone who just can't make friends? We all have times when it's hard to connect and make friends. So, I will show you about five social habits that we should all pay attention to, and how they can help us make more friends, and better friends.

Talking about yourself

This is number one because it's something many of us do too often. Conversations are give-and-take. When you only talk about yourself, you are just taking, not giving. Learn to ask questions, and when you listen, don't prepare your next thought in your head. When both are listening, the conversation becomes much more interesting.

Staring at your phone

Everyone is staring at their phones. It may seem okay, as it's not a social event. But every time we stare at our screens, we block out the world, and any chance we have of connecting with another person. This isn't just important with strangers, but even with friends, because looking at our phones tells everyone, "My phone is more important than you."

Uninterested body language

Some people use their hands a lot when they speak, and some of us don't. But body language isn't just about our hands, it's about our whole body. When we don't sit up straight and make eye contact, it shows that we don't really care. I'm guilty of this sometimes, too. And of course, smiling helps! It doesn't need to be a big smile, it needs to be a real smile. Mr. Bean is the person who can make full use of the body language. He can make himself understood without saying a word.

Don't rush it, but don't forget to open up

Friendships are a type of relationship, so they shouldn't get too deep or too quickly. Some people share their whole life story and struggles too fast. But that's embarrassing for the listener. Other people don't want to seem weak, so they never open up, and the friendship doesn't get deeper.

Being too negative

Everyone wakes up on the wrong side of the bed sometimes. But being grumpy (坏脾气的) every day is something different. Don't get a reputation for being a Debbie Downer. Try to see the good things in life, and that will help you spread a positive attitude.

It's tough to make friends, and tough to understand our own friends sometimes, so I hope this list helps you in some way.

 Silk is a thin and pretty strong fiber(纤维制品). Thousands of years ago, in ancient China, people began making the silk fiber into a soft fabric(织物). It was very beautiful. However, silk could only be used in the palace(宫殿) because of its high 1 at first.

The silk in China was not a secret. When the Chinese government paid visits to other countries, they carried gifts made of silk. The people in other countries started to use this 2 thing. It became popular in the West 3 .

Silk business always encouraged people who traded (从事贸易) to 4 ways to travel from Europe to the Far East. Later they came to be known as" the Silk Road". At the same time, some people 5 sea routes(路线).

The Silk Road played a(n) 6 role in bringing people from different countries into communication. To make 7 deals, people had to learn the languages and cultures of other countries first to make better communication. Through communication, people could 8 knowledge about arts, science and technology with each other. The Silk Road has always been of great 9 to the tour of the countries along the route.

The Silk Road has a far greater 10 on history than we can imagine. It made China famous and popular around the world in ancient times.
