“Have you eaten yet?” or “Have you had your lunch?” is a typical Chinese greeting. It is nothing more than a Chinese way of saying “Hello” or “Hi”. But to Americans,the greeting might mean “I haven’t,either. Come on,let’s go together and get something to eat. ” or “If you haven’t,I am just going to invite you to my place.

 Everyone talks about the “five” senses of man. And it is true that we get our information about the outside world from our senses of sight,hearing,smell,touch and taste. Researchers tell us that the sense of sight gives us up to 80% of what we know about the world outside our bodies， while the other senses，the hearing，the smell，the touch，and the taste，bring into our brains information about the other 20% of what is happening. But there are two other senses that we can’t get along without,though they are seldom noticed.
