Sometimes when we have a lot of nice food, we say we are "eating like an emperor(皇帝)".
However, a real emperor might not have eaten as much as you think. A Qing Dynasty(清朝) emperor ate only two meals a day. The two meals were 1around 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. Besides these meals, the emperor could ask for snacks any time he wanted.
When the emperor called for his meal, his servants would 2set the table wherever he was. There were usually more than 20 dishes on the table, served with soup 3porridge. The diet was balanced(均衡的) with 4nutrients(营养) and tastes. There were vegetables, chicken, duck, fish and pork. Spring water was used to cook the rice.
However, even when the food was ready, the emperor did not eat right away. Why? He had to make sure the food was 5. He was afraid of being poisoned(毒害).His servants would put a small silver plate into each dish, which would change colour 6the food was not right. To make sure, the emperor would also ask his servants to7the dishes first.
After that, the emperor was finally able to enjoy his food, but only by himself. The emperor didn't eat with his family members, except during very important events. He didn't eat too much of one dish, either. He had to be careful and never let anybody know what he liked or disliked. So the emperor 8ate no more than three spoons of any dish, no matter how much he liked it.
There were two imperial(皇帝的) 9in the Forbidden City to prepare the emperor's daily meals. Hundreds of officials, cooks and servants worked there. For each meal, menus were 10the emperor ahead. Every menu was stored. Every dish was served with the name of the cook.

The term "Social phobia（社交恐惧症）"is popular recently. Young people are describing themselves as having "social phobia". They prefer not to go out much, saying that it's hard for them to make new friends. But is this a "real" disorder (病症)？
In fact, this is just a reaction(反应) to some social situations（情况）. US researcher Tashiro wrote the book Awkward. He explains that these young people don't "read" social situations correctly and therefore end up feeling uncomfortable. For example, they might be afraid of breaking some unspoken rules. So they prefer to stay at home instead of going out to meet new people. But this doesn't mean they have social phobia.
"Real" Social phobia is also called social anxiety(焦虑). People with social anxiety want to go out and communicate with people, but they are so scared that they cannot leave their homes. Their brains simply won't allow them to interact with others in a normal way. People with social phobia disorder can ever experience panic attacks(惊恐发作).
Fortunately, there are some ways to treat social anxiety. Some people use self-help books to help them control over their minds. Therapy and some drugs can also help.
