Last week, the UKs Cabinet Secretary Andrew Turnbull openly welcomed a tieless era. He hinted that civil servants would soo
27、n be free of the costliest 12 inches of fabric that most men ever buy in their lives. In fact, Blair showed this attitude when he had his first guests to a cocktail party. Many of them were celebrities (知名人士 ) without ties, which would have been unimaginable even in the recent past. For some more co
28、nservative British, the tie is a must for proper appearance. Earlier, Labor leader Jim Callaghan said he would have died rather than have his children seen in public without a tie. For people like Callaghan, the tie was a sign of being complete, of showing respect. Men were supposed to wear a tie wh
29、en going to church, to work in the office, to a party almost every social occasion. But today, people have begun to accept a casual style even for formal occasions. The origin of the tie is tricky. It started as something called simply a “band“. The term could mean anything around a mans neck. It ap
30、peared in finer ways in the 1630s. Frenchmen showed a love of this particular fashion statement. Their neckwear (颈饰 ) impressed Charles II, the king of England who was exiled (流放 t) to France at that time. When he returned to England in 1660, he brought this new fashion item along with him. It wasnt
31、, however, until the late 18th century that fancy young men introduced a more colorful, flowing piece of cloth that eventually became known as the tie. Then, clubs military institutions and schools began to use colored and patterned ties to indicate the wearers membership in the late 19th century. A
32、fter that, the tie became a necessary item of clothing for British gentlemen. But now, even gentlemen are getting tired of ties.

Breakfast is not only the most important meal of the day, it is also the most neglected or skipped. Common reasons for not eating breakfast include lack o
36、f time, not feeling hungry, traditional dislike for breakfast, and dieting. Breakfast simply means “break the fast.“ Your body spends at least six to twelve hours each night in a fasting state. In the morning your body needs energy to rev up (转动起来 ) into high gear for the days work ahead. If you ski
37、p breakfast, you are likely to concentrate less effectively in the late morning, feel irritable, short-tempered(易怒的 ) , tired, or weak. When you choose not to eat breakfast, your body stays in slow gear. Also, people who skip breakfast often binge (无节制的大吃 ) later in the day at other meals or eat a h
38、igh -calorie (高卡路里 ) snack in the morning. Breakfast eaters tend to eat less fat during the day, have more strength and endurance and better concentration and problem-solving ability. A good breakfast should provide up to 1/3 of your total calorie needs for the day. On the average, we eat 400 less c
39、alories for breakfast than for dinner. If breakfast doesnt appeal to you in the morning, try eating a lighter-dinner, earlier in the evening or save half your dinner for breakfast in the morning. If you still arent hungry in the morning, start with something small like juice or toast or have a mid-m
40、orning snack later when you are hungry. Not eating breakfast can also cause you to overeat, since a fall in blood sugar often makes you feel very hungry later. To make matters worse, since your body is in a slowed state, it will not be able to burn those extra calories very efficiently. If you feed
41、your body healthy snacks and meals throughout the day, you are less likely to become extremely hungry and stuff yourself as soon as you begin to eat. Since breakfast is the first and most important meal of the day, choosing the right fuel is important. The best breakfast foods are fruits, juice, lea

I just mailed the chicken and the egg, each in its own separate packaging, and kept careful track of when each shipment was sent from a post office in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and when it
46、 later arrived at its intended destination in New York City. In mailing the chicken, I was careful to adhere to the restrictions described in the American Postal Services Domestic Mail Manual 57, as updated on April 3, 2003.
