On an individual level, we grow up eating the food of our culture. It bees a part of who we are. Many associate food from our childhood with warm feelings and good memories and it ties us to our families, holding a special and personal value for us. Food from our family often bees the fort food we seek as adults in times of frustration and stress. On a large scale, traditional food is an important part of culture. It also operates as an expression of culture identity. Immigrants bring it wherever they go, and it is a symbol of pride for their culture and means of coping with homesickness. Many immigrants open their own restaurants and serve traditional dishes. However, the food does not remain exactly the same. Some materials needed to make traditional dishes may not be readily available, so the taste and flavor can be different from what they would prepare in their home countries. Additionally, immigrants do not only sell dishes to people from the same countries as them, but to people from different countries. Therefore, they have to make small changes about the original dishes to cater to a wider range of customers. Those changes can create new flavors that still keep the cultural significance of the dishes. We should embrace our heritage(傳統(tǒng))through our culture39。s food but also bee more informed about other cultures by trying their food. It is important to remember that each dish has a special place in the culture to which it belongs, and is special to those who prepare it. Food is a window into culture, and it should be treated as such.(1)What39。s the function of food mentioned in the article?

Ebooks, however, are causing heartache. Libraries know they need digital wares, but many publishers are too cautious about piracy (盜版)and lost sales to cooperate. Among the big six, only Random House and Harper Collins license ebooks with most libraries. Publishers are wise to be nervous. Owners of ereaders (電子閱讀器)are exactly the customers they need: booklovers with money. If these people switch to borrowing ebooks instead of buying them, what then? Electronic borrowing is awfully convenient. Unlike printed books, which must be checked out and returned to a physical library miles from where you live, book files can be downloaded at home. The files disappear from the device when they are due. Elending is not simple, however. There are lots of differe
