What can be red or green, round or sharp, big or small, and more importantly, loved or hated by someone? Yes, the answer is chilies (辣椒).

Many of us in China enjoy adding chilies to our food, but did you know that this spicy vegetable could also be dangerous? A 34-year-old US man recently ended up in hospital after eating a Carolina Reaper, the spiciest chili people have known so far. After taking just a single bite of one, the man suffered from serious headaches in the following days, reported BBC News.

In fact, eating spicy food causes a stomachache and a headache. But if chilies are harmful, why do people like to eat this vegetable? So what makes people love chilies so much? The human body is influenced by natural chemicals that produce “a sense of happiness”, noted BBC News.

And chilies do good to people in another way. Scientists found that the death rate of those who eat spicy food once or twice a week is 10 percent lower than those who eat it less than once a week. The death rate is 14 percent lower for those who eat spicy food six to seven times a week. This encourages people to eat more spicy food to improve health and bring less death risk at an early age. So, don’t worry if you love spicy food. It seems that chilies are actually good for us.

For the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself, "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am going to do today？"

About a year ago, I was terribly ill． The doctor said that it was almost a kind of cancer, and that I would live no longer than 3 to 6 months． My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs（事务） in order, which is my doctor's code for preparing to die．

I lived with that diagnosis（诊断） all day, not knowing what to do and feeling endless dark around me． Several days after that, I had another careful check in another hospital． They said it can be cured with an operation． I had the operation and I'm fine now．

I was once so closest to death． To tell the truth, no one wants to die． Yet death is the one we all share in the end． No one has ever escaped（逃离） it．

Your time is so limited that you shouldn't waste it repeating someone else's life． Just live and enjoy the rest of your days． Don't let others control or change your own mind． And most importantly, have the courage to follow your heart． It knows what you truly want to become． Everything else is secondary．

Once upon a time, there lived a brother and a sister called Hansel and Gretel. Their family was very poor, so their parents sent them into the forest to find some food. They walked for hours and were soon tired and hungry.
Then they saw a house. They could not believe their eyes. The house was made of sweets! Suddenly an old woman came out of the house. “Come inside,” the old woman said. “I’ve lots of cake and sweets for you!”
Hansel and Gretel were very hungry, so they followed the old woman inside. However, it was a trap(陷阱). The old woman pushed Hansel into a cage and locked the door.
“Now you’ll work for me!” the old woman said to Gretel.
“And when you are fat,” she said to Hansel, “I’ll cook and eat you!”
Every day the old woman fed Hansel cake to make him fat. When she tried to feel his arm to see how fat he was, Hansel held out a stick for her. Her eyes were not good, so she thought she was still very thin.
