You can have some other examples than adoptions(吸纳)from Chinese，such as pizza from Italian, Susi from Japanese，and Déjàvu from French etc. There is a long list! Americans do not just simply borrow something from others. They try to make it their own.

Is losing weight as simple as doing a 15-minute writing exercise? In a new study，women who wrote about their most important values，like close relationships or religion，lost more weight over the next few months than women who didn’t. “We have this need to feel self-integrity，” says Christine Logel of the University of Waterloo. “When something threatens your sense that you’re a good person，like failing a test，we can buffer (减缓) that self-integrity by reminding ourselves how much we love our children，for example”.

For this study，the researchers recruited 45 female undergraduates，of whom 58% were overweight. Each woman was weighed，and was then given a list of important values，like creativity，music or relationships with friends and family members. Each woman ranked the values in order of how important they were to her. Then half the women were told to write for 15 minutes about the value that was most important to her. The other half，a control group，were told to write about why a value far down on their list might be important to someone else.

The women came back months later to be weighed again. Women who had written about an important value lost an average of 3.41 pounds，while women in the control group gained an average of 2.76 pounds.

“How we feel about ourselves can have a big effect，”Logel says. Maybe when one of the women who wrote about an important value went home that night，she felt good about herself and didn’t eat to make herself feel better. Over a few months，that could make a real difference in her life.

On a typical hot August day in Xianyou County, Fujian Province, Zeng Demei, a retired worker in his seventies, hurries down a busy street. In his hand is a black leather bag. Zeng opens his bag, taking out two forms. 36

Each of the forms contains detailed information of a student. On his arrival two hours later a woman greets him and leads him to her office where another man is waiting. They are the two village officials. They inspect the forms handed to them by Zeng and immediately recognize the girls. 37 “It’s a pity but it doesn’t matter.” says Zeng, who wastes no time in deciding to look for the remaining child, Su Qiuju.

After half an hour, they stop outside a small house made of mud brick. A middle-aged man and a girl in a faded pink dress greet them. Su Qiuju is eight years old. She was forced to drop out of school after both her parents died. She is now living with her uncle who cannot afford his own children’s education. However, the year of education Su Qiuju did complete was a successful one. 38 .

When they are about to leave, Zeng says, “I must find a supporter for this girl to sponsor her education.” Zeng has made it his retirement task to help children complete their schooling. Back in 1999, Zeng took part in a campaign started by the local women’s organization to help students from poor families. 39 His task had begun and since then he has spent his time persuading his friends and neighbors and others to donate money. “To me, children’s education is the most important. 40 I have to find sufficient funding before the school opens in September.”
