　　在西方人心目中，和中國聯系最為密切的基本食物是大米。長期以來，大米在中國人的飲食中占據很重要的地位，以至于有諺語說“巧婦難為無米之炊”。中國南方大多種植水稻，人們通常以大米為主食;而華北大部分地區由于過于寒冷或過于干燥無法種植水稻，那里的主要作物是小麥。在中國，有些人用面粉做面包，但大多數人用面粉做饅頭和面條。

　　In the eyes of the western, the basic food closest to China isrice. Rice has long occupied so significant a position in the dietof Chinese that there is a proverb “ Even a clever housewife cannotcook a meal without rice”. Rice is grown mostly in southern Chinawhere people usually take rice as their staple food, while itcannot be planted in northern China where the climate is either toocold or too dry for rice to grow. As a result, the main crop in thenorth is wheat. In China, flour is sometimes the main ingredientfor bread but more often used to make buns and noodles。第一句，簡單句;第二句如此以至于結構“so... that…"注意so的用法，直接接adj. 或adv。第三句南北對比，可以用while或whereas連接，最后一句也是對比句，主語people是比較泛的大主語，考慮改寫為被動句。

Moreover,computers can assist people to deal with complicated working stuff,make friends, and entertain themselves because they have becomegrowingly powerful and everything else is linked with them.

Now, when we power on the all-mighty computers, whatwe want is out there for us.
