Why do most Japanese people live longer than the rest of us? One reason might be soybean products(豆制品)like tofu and miso(日本豆酱).Scientists from Japan's National Institute of Health and Nutrition did a study into the health benefits of soybean products. They said people who regularly ate tofu and miso were 10 percent less likely to die from diseases than people who ate no soybean products.

The most common types of soy products are tofu(soybean curd), natto( fermented soybeans), miso(a fermented soybean paste added to soups) and soy sauce. Miso is high in salt.

Which is the most famous cartoon character in your country? Americans may say Mickey Mouse, while it's likely that Belgians would proudly mention Tintin. And in China, the title would probably go to Sanmao, a really thin boy with only three hairs on his head.

The story of Sanmao starts with his moving to Shanghai to make a living. Losing his parents when he was a baby, Sanmao has nobody to depend on and has to take on many different jobs, such as selling newspapers, cleaning shoes and showing kung fu.
