• Main idea:

The passage mainly tells us two features of American food: sweetness and grease, which drive the writer crazy and make him miss China. Luckily, he can eat Chinese food in Chinatown.

----written by Xiaobin Cao

My thoughts

In my opinion, it is American culture and economy that affect its eating habits. As we all know, America is a country on the wheel. Most people are too busy to cook for themselves. So they often eat fast food outside, which leads to obesity. I think health is no less important than work and study.

it is vital for us to have a healthy body. Only when we are healthy, can we create more opportunities and make more money.

Bug bites and spider snacks• Main idea:

The passage mainly tells us an Australian insect scientist and a business woman have started an online shop selling edible bugs and the business is booming, because the crickets are high in calcium, termites are high in iron and silk worms have special amino acid, and good fats in them.

My thoughts The article reminds me of my good friend

who is crazy about eating insects. Once upon time, we went shopping together. To our surprise, we came across a shop selling edible bugs. Driven by curiosity, we walked inside and my friend began to taste the bugs, which made me scared. In my opinion, I do admit the insects contain lots of nutritions. But still I am not brave enough to have a try.
