There will be some people who come to
13、you with unconnected knowledge, talking about, say, Vitamin B12 and other modern _42_. When they ask advice, begin at that level. Unless you start at their own level, they will not be able to understand. You must explain to them in scientific terms the effects of the food they eat, and how they need
14、 to _43_ it.You have to train yourself to be very _44_. Staying at one level is not being a free man. If we stay at a very high level all the time, that is not practical. A limitless person goes _45_ from one level of thinking to another, according to his circumstances. To do this we must get rid of
15、 our unwillingness to change our way of thinking or behavior, become friends with everyone, and have the same loving feelings for everyone. Then we can give advice to all kinds of people.

Even today cultures survive on only the wild food they find. Among others, foraging has become more of a _52_ activity, in France and Spain,
19、 _53_, many people look for mushrooms in the autumn. Foe the British, foraging was a very important way to keep healthy in the past, _54_ during the Second World War when there was less food in the shops. Ingredients _55_ rosehips, rich in vitamin C, nettles and seaweed were all used to improve thei
20、r _56_. In recent decades foraging has often been something people do in developing countries, not developed ones. In developed countries, modern agricultural methods have led to _57_ in what people eat and where they get their food. With the growth of supermarkets, people can now buy seasonal foods
21、 any day of the year and they no longer need to forage. The pace of life these days is also faster. _58_, many people prefer to buy all their food from shops and supermarkets because it saves time and energy, both of which foraging requires._59_, things are changing once again and in the last few ye
22、ars, foraging has become _60_ in those countries with supermarkets. You might think this new interest in wild food is because of _61_ problems and people wanting to cut their spending but _62_, this new trend began in the top restaurant of the world. In some of these restaurants, they use fresh _63_
23、 ingredients to create elegant dishes of the highest quality. Some of them even employ professional foragers to find the seasonal ingredients used each day.This fashion for wild food is now spreading and more people are interested in going on causes or organized wild food walks to learn how to forag

It was hanging at a secondhand clothing store. While the other coats looked rather depressed, this one looked as if it were holding itself
29、up. The thick, black wool of the chesterfield (长大衣) was soft and unworn. It was beautifully tailored and had an unbelievable price tag of $28. We looked at each other, saying nothing, but Johns eyes shone. Dark, woolen coats were popular with teenage boys, but could cost several hundred dollars new.
30、 This coat was even better, bearing that touch of classic elegance from long ago. John tried it on and turned from side to side, eyeing himself in the mirror with a serious, studied expression that soon changed into a smile. The fit was perfect.John wore the coat to school the next day and came home
31、 with a grin. “How did the kids like your coat?” I asked. “They loved it!” he said merrily, carefully folding it over the back of a chair and smoothing it flat.Over the next few weeks, a change came over John. Agreement replaced protest, quiet, reasoned discussion replaced argument. He become more s
32、ensible, more polite, more thoughtful, eager to please. “Good dinner, Mom,” he would say every evening. One day when I suggested that he might start on his homework before dinner, John, who always put things off, said, “Youre right. I guess I will.” When I mentioned this incident to one of his teach
33、ers and remarked that I didnt know what caused the changes, she said laughing. “It must be his coat!” At the library, we ran into a friend who had not seen our children for a long time, “Could this be John?” he asked, looking up to Johns new height, assessing the style of his coat and extending his
34、hand, one gentleman to another.Sometimes, watching John leave for school, Im reminded of what it felt like to be at his age-a time when it was as easy to try on different approaches to life as it was to try on a coat.67.

41、 oldest should be greeted first with their titles. The handshake seems to be longer than elsewhere. So, do not pull away the handshake. Women should cover themselves when it comes to dress. Men also tend to be covered from neck to elbows(肘部) and down to the knees. People do not avoid entertaining in
42、 their homes, but they also hold business meals at restaurants. Touching or passing food or eating with your left hand is to be avoided.

54、rld, who would it be? Your neighbour or a super star? A few people have experienced what it might be like to step into the skin of another person, thanks to an unusual virtual reality(虚拟现实) device. Rikke Wahl, an actress, model and artist, was one of the participants in a body swapping experiment at
55、 the Be Another lab, a project developed by a group of artists based in Barcelona. She swapped with her partner, an actor, using a machine called The Machine to Be Another and temporarily became a man. As I looked down, I saw my whole body as a man, dressed in my partners pants, she said. Thats the
56、picture I remember best. The set-up is relatively simple. Both users wear a virtual reality headset with a camera on the top. The video from each camera is sent to the other person, so what you see is the exact view of your partner. If she moves her arm, you see it. If you move your arm, she sees it
57、.To get used to seeing another persons body without actually having control of it, participants start by raising their arms and legs very slowly, so that the other can follow along. Eventually, this kind of slow synchronised(同步的) movement becomes comfortable, and participants really start to feel as
58、 though they are living in another persons body. Using such technology promises to alter peoples behaviour afterwards-potentially for the better. Studies have shown that virtual reality can be effective in fighting racism-the bias(偏见) that humans have against those who dont look or sound like them.
59、Researchers at the University of Barcelona gave people a questionnaire called the Implicit Association Test, which measures the strength of peoples associations between, for instance, black people and adjectives such as good, bad, athletic or awkward. Then they asked them to control the body of a da
60、rk skinned digital character using virtual reality glasses, before taking the test again. This time, the participants bias scores were lower. The idea is that once youve put yourself in anothers shoes youre less likely to think ill of them, because your brain has internalised the feeling of being th
61、at person.The creators of The Machine to Be Another hope to achieve a similar result. At the end of body swapping, people feel like holding each other in their arms, says Arthur Pointeau, a programmer with the project. Its a really nice way to have this kind of experience. I would really, really rec
