Want to experience an English village ？Ensure to look out for morris dancing.It is a folk dancing that dates back to the 15th century.
    Men and women wearing old-fashioned clothing dance in the streets of towns and villages across the country during the holiday periods.Some groups carry heavy black sticks which they bash（敲擊） against each other while they dance.Other groups wave handkerchiefs（手帕） in the air when they perform.The dances are usually performed near a pub so that when they are over，the dancers and audience can sing some traditional folk songs over a pint of beer.The festivities will often continue long into the night，by which point most people are too drunk to think about performing again!
    Morris dancing is a great English tradition but it's facing a big crisis（危機）.As the years go by fewer and fewer young people are joining morris dancing groups.The dancers are getting older and older and if nothing is done to change this trend，the tradition will die out within the next few decades.
    If you've ever had the fortune to see morris dancing，you may understand why teenagers aren't rushing to sign up.Putting it clearly，it's not exactly the coolest thing for an 18-year-old to be doing!Why dress up in bells and funny clothes when you could be going clubbing？Or playing sport？O doing anything else？
    However，it would be a great shame to lose such a fun part of England's history and culture.It's important to look after some traditions and customs especially when it's something as harmless and happy as morris dancing.So here's a toast（祝酒）to the next generation of would-be morris dancers!

1．Obviously，most people who try to lose weight generally focus all or most of their attention on the foods they eat.But what about their behaviour？Are there habits they could be breaking that would also help them lose weight？
   According to the Ohio State University Extension，which summarised the findings，the researchers learned people who routinely ate breakfasts，lunches，and dinners tended to have more success losing weight than people whose eating schedules were irregular.As a bonus，they were also more likely to eat a larger quantity of fruit and vegetables.
   One activity that brought a disaster to people who wanted to lose weight was watching television，particularly if they ate while watching TV-and especially if they ate while watching TV after 7 p.m.People who did these things，including simply watching a lot of television，tended to have a higher body mass index （BMI），as well as a higher intake of fat and sugars.
   Those who ate out a lot also tended to take in more fat and sugars，while eating a smaller quantity of fruit and vegetables.For the purpose of the study，eating away from home was defined not only as eating in restaurants but also eating food provided by an employer，eating food provided by colleagues at work，and buying food at convenience stores or gas stations.
   Finally，the best results were achieved by those motivated people who kept written track of the amount and type of exercise they did and how many calories they ate，who planned meals，and used meal replacements.Those who did these things the most generally lost more weight，ate less fat and fewer sugars，ate more fruit and vegetables，and engaged in more physical activities.

3．Sunday Bakeshop in Oakland，California，makes foods that mix American and Asian cultures.The restaurant makes foods that are cooked or baked in an oven.Many of them are sweet.For example，the shop sells something called a dim sum cookie.It looks like a sugar cookie but has sesame （芝麻） seeds on top and sweetened red beans inside.Dim sum is a word for Cantonese foods from southern China.
   The dim sum cookie is Elaine Lau's way of honoring her grandmother who would make a kind of food that had a similar taste.Lau's restaurant also makes Chinese White Rabbit candy cookies.Those sweets would not be found in any bakery in Asia but are a mixture of Asian and Western foods.Lau said she speaks to Asian Americans and others at her store.She said： "We get a lot of comments，for example，'The cookies are just like little lovely kitties and puppies.' ''Oh this took me back to several years ago when I was growing up." She added that it was nice to create good memories and feelings with her pastries （糕點）.
   Bakeries that combine the feeling of growing-up Asians and Americans have been opening up more often in recent years.Traditional Asian ingredients are being mixed with European or American pastries into something new.The creations are a way for young Asian Americans to celebrate their identity.
   "Older traditional Asian bakeries make foods that immigrants miss from their home country.The new bakeries celebrate Asian culture and are part of a natural progression，" said Robert Ku，who is an Asian American studies professor at Binghamton University in New York state.He also wrote the book Dubious Gastronomy：The Cultural Politics of Eating Asian in the USA.
   "The bakers are showing that their foods，which mix cultures，are just as American as apple pie.It's sort of the artistic side of Asian American identity that's often ignored，" Ku said. "They're instead really trying to fuse things together."
