The bumpy（凹凸不平的）structure of walnuts is similar to the brain．Some Chinese believe　eating walnuts will make them smarter because of that．By the same logic，they believe eating pig brains will increase their intelligence．This kind of food myth is true to Americans，too. Some Americans regularly eat uncooked eggs to keep their minds sharp．

       Most doctors don’t recommend eating either raw eggs or animal brains．Then, what food is good for your brain? Scientists have found a relationship between diet and a healthy brain．It’s becoming pretty clear that the right food can increase brain power―help you pay attention, keep you motivated，improve memory, and defuse stress．Perhaps even prevent brain aging．

       The health of your brain depends not only on how much（or little）fat you eat but on what kind it is．Intellectual performance requires the specific type of fat found most commonly in certain fish．Besides oily fish，you should introduce lots of dark green leafy vegetables and colorful fruits into your diet．Most people lack the special vitamins that these brain foods provide．

But you won’t do well on your test just because you ate fish the night before. You must eat brain foods regularly．

I came to India a year ago to find a village in which I could live and write but it was many months before I settled down happily in this Himalayan community.I wasted a lot of time looking for the “typical” village, yet no such thing exists. Conditions vary too widely.But the villages I stayed in had much in common—poverty, dirt, ignorance. Often the villagers themselves were puzzled, suspicious. Why had I come? I had put aside my work as a political journalist because my ideas had changed. I had come to believe that what was happening in the Third World was more important than anything else. But to understand how three quarters of the world’s people live, and how their future might affect ours, I felt that I first had to try and share their way of life.In the end I chose a mountain village because it was a little cooler than those in the plains. I took the bus from town along a bumpy road. Then came a rough walk down a steep path to the river. After this I began the climb into the Mils. Whenever I stopped to catch my breath, there was a magnificent view. After several hours’ walk the village came into view.
