a
good
stock
of
myths
and
legends.

was
young

me
stories.
After
she had finished her
housework, she would lift me onto her lap and tell
stories,

no
time
in
initiating

They
bought
many
storybooks
with
illustrations,
and
whenever
free,
they
would
read
these
stories
to
me
over
and
over
again. By and by
I had a vocabulary large enough to read on my own.

Study after study
has uncovered the fact that there is a close
correlation
between food and a number
of chronic diseases. For example, a decreased risk
of
certain
chronic
diseases
is
associated
with
an
increased
consumption
of
plant-based
foods. Therefore, in the past decade,
the American Dietetic Association has urged
Americans
to
reduce
their
intake
of
animal
fats,
and
to
boost
consumption
of
fruits,
vegetables,
and
grains.
Meanwhile,
the
United
States
Department
of
Agriculture
has
released
a document containing the food guide pyramid,
which encourages a minimum
of three
vegetable and two fruit servings per day. However,
many Americans still

202, I anticipated difficulties because

not well

in
mathematics
in
high
school.

course
was
taught
by
Professor
Richardson,
a
fine
specimen
of
an
old-fashioned
gentleman,
very
cordial
to
his
students.
However,
when
it
came
to
academic
matters,
he
was
by
no
means
an
easy
person.
Before
he
started
his lecture, he
discoursed enthusiastically on the importance of
working in an
orderly fashion, of being
thoroughly prepared before each class, and of not
being
content with what you have
learned. His attitude towards work was infectious,
and
by and by I became an ardent math
lover, too.
