　　II. 背景知识介绍

　　1. 在西方，与朋友或家人道别时，一般要说"Take care of yourself.(自己多保重。)"一方面因为他们工作压力很大、生活节奏很快，身体健康就显得特别重要；另一方面，英美等国的私人诊所大都收费颇高，是人们最不喜欢的去处。

　　2. 在英美国家，看望病人时习惯上带鲜花或者是慰问卡片，有时送本书或送张唱片，礼物很轻，但很有意义。比如送本幽默故事书，让呆在病床上心烦意乱的病人读后哈哈一笑，不就使他的心情也为之轻松起来了吗？

　　III. 口语聊吧

　　和你的同伴练习下列对话。

　　A: Good morning，Jim !

　　A: I am fine，thank you. And you?

　　B: I am not too well.

　　A: Are you eating properly? Do you have breakfast in the morning?

　　B: I don't like having breakfast.

　　A: It is bad for you not to have breakfast. Why not get up early and do some sport? That will make you feel better, too.
