An elephant was standing and picking leaves from a tree.A small fly came，flying and buzzing near his ear.The elephant waved it away with his long ears.Then the fly came again and the elephant waved it away once more.
This happened several times.Then the elephant asked the fly， "Why are you so restless and noisy？Why can't you just stay in one place？"
The fly answered， "I am interested in whatever I see，hear or smell.My five senses，and everything that happens around me，pull me here and there and I cannot resist （抵抗） them.What is your secret？How can you stay so calm and still？ "
The elephant stopped eating and said， "My five senses do not rule me.I am in control of myself - my senses do not tell me what to do.This helps me stay focused on whatever I do，and so，keep my mind calm and still.Now that I am eating，I am completely enjoying eating.In this way，I can just focus on enjoying my food."
After hearing these words，the fly's eyes opened wide and a smile appeared on his face.He looked at the elephant and said， "I understand!I will always be restless if I let my senses control me.On the other hand，if I try to use some self﹣control，my mind will become calm and I'll be able to stay still."

I've already been here for several weeks, and I feel like I am finally adapting （适应）to the culture. I'm also speaking the language better.I arrived here on September 1st. The weather has been very nice. Even though it's October, it's still rather sunny and warm. In fact, I went to the beach and swam in the Mediterranean Sea（地中海）earlier today.I am living with a very welcoming host family. I have my own private bedroom. We eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner together. On Sundays, we have a big home- cooked paella for lunch. In Spain, lunch is usually the biggest meal of the day. It's also very common for the people to take a midday nap right after a big meal. I am actually just waking up from my nap right now!On weekdays, I take classes at the local university.

Is it possible to have a diet（日常饮食）that's both healthy and friendly to our planet？Here are answers to your eco﹣friendly food questions.
Does what I eat influence climate（气候）change？
Yes.The world's food system is responsible for（为……负责）about one quarter of the planet﹣warming greenhouse gases that humans produce each year.That includes raising and harvesting all the plants，animals，and animal products we eat，as well as processing，packaging，and shipping food to markets all over the world.
Which foods have the largest influence？
In general，beef and lamb have the biggest climate footprint per gram of protein while plant﹣based foods like beans，rice，corn and wheat have the smallest influence.Pork，chicken，eggs are somewhere in the middle.

Studies have shown that people who eat a meat﹣heavy diet can reduce their food-related footprint by one third or more by moving to a vegan diet ﹣ no meat，dairy（乳制品），or eggs.If you don't want to go that far，just eat less meat.
Can I really make a difference to our planet？
