Bobby used the money to buy as much food as he could afford in the nearest store．While holding a small bag of food，Bobby stopped to adjust（调整） the thick paper in his shoes．

   （31）FThough kids may keep asking for less nutritious foods，parents should decide which foods are regularly provided in the house．Kids won't go hungry．They'll eat what's available in the fridge at home．

19．We can make mistakes at any age．Some mistakes we make are about money，but most mistakes are about people．"Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen？""When I got that great job，did Jim really feel good about it，as a friend？Or did he envy my luck？"When we look back，doubts like these can make us feel ba d．But when we look back，it's too late．
Why did we go wrong about our friends or our enemies？Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning．And if we don't really listen，we miss the feeling behind the words．Suppose someone tells you，"You're a lucky dog．"Is he really on your side？If he says，"You're a lucky guy！"that's being friendly．But"lucky dog"？There's a bit of envy in those words．What he may be saying is that he doesn't think you deserve your luck．
"Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for"is another noise that says one thing and means another．It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem．But this phrase contains the thought that your problem isn't important．
   How can you tell the real meaning behind someone's words？One way is to take a good look at the person talking．Do his words fit the way he looks？Does what he says shown by the tone of voice？The look in his eyes？Stop and think．The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake．
