　　You’re coor favourite dish, and the phone rings. You are busy chatting with your friend and suddenly remember you haven’t put the salt in. You think, well, it’s just about done but I’ll add the salt now, anyway. So you put in the salt shortly before you take the dish off the stove to serve it. As you’re eating, you think it tastes a lot saltier than usual. Does it really or is it just your imagination?
　　That’s the question. If you want something to taste salty, when is the best time to salt it: before you eat it?
　　To get to the answer let’s consider the most basic thing about tasting. Before you can taste anything it must reach your tongue. That’s obvious enough, but it has a lot to do with the seasoning(调味) of food. Generally speaking, the more tasty particles(微粒) that reach the taste buds(味蕾), the stronger the taste. Salt buried in a lump(团，块) of food will likely be swallowed untasted. And that’s where a lot of it ends up if you salt the food early in the cooking process.
　　Salt added later in cooking tends to remain on the surface of the food, so more of it reaches your taste buds, and thus the food tastes saltier. Think of potato chips with their salty surfaces. One ounce of chips has about the same amount of salt as a slice of wheat bread. Which tastes saltier?
　　So, the answer to the question of when to salt to get the saltiest taste is: the later the better.
　　A result of this is that since you get a saltier taste by adding it later, you can use less salt. This can be helpful to those trying to cut back on salt: put it later and you don’t need as much.

　　It is important to know another language and how to communicate without words when you are in another country. Before saying anything, people communicate with each other by using gestures（手势）. However, many gestures have different meanings, or no meaning at all, in different parts of the world.
　　In the United States, nodding your head up and down means “yes”, while in some pats of Greece and Turkey, it means “no”. In the southeast of Asia, it is a polite way of saying “I heard you”.
　　Today in the USA, when someone puts his thumb up, it means “Everything is all right.” However, in Greece it is bad. Also putting your clasped（紧握的）hands up above your head means “I am the winner.” It is the sign which players often make. In Russia it is the sign of friendship.
