A long time ago, in England, some judges(法官) used to decide whether a person was telling the truth by giving him some dry bread. If the person could swallow(吞咽) the bread, it was a sign that he was telling the truth. Though this seems rather strange and foolish, it is indeed an excellent way of finding out the truth. A man worrying about something has much difficulty in swallowing anything dry because he is worrying and he loses his appetite and does not want to eat.
