【推荐1】What can be both 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 do you know that this spicy(辣的) vegetable could also be dangerous? A 34-year-old US man recently ended up in hospital after eating a Carolina Reaper, the spiciest chili. After taking just one bite, the man began to get serious headaches in the following days, reported by BBC News.

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

And Chilies do good to people in another way. Scientists found that the death rate(死亡率) 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. So don’t worry if you love spicy food. It seems that chilies are actually good for us.

【推荐1】Chinese tennis player Zheng Qinwen has made history at the Australian Open. She became just the second Chinese tennis player ever to reach a Grand Slam final (大满贯决赛). She has been the biggest surprise for China in the sports world since the beginning of 2022. Born in Hubei, the 21-year-old girl started playing sports from an early age.

“I was fat as a kid and I got sick often, so my parents told me to choose one sport to play. I started with table tennis but quickly looked for other sports. I tried badminton, basketball and then I tried tennis,” Zheng said.

At the age of six, Zheng went to watch 2008 Beijing Olympic Games with her family. She was excited and applauded all the time. But when it came to tennis, Zheng sat quietly and seemed to be thinking about something. That was the moment when Zheng became sure about her interest in tennis.

After that, Zheng began spending more time learning tennis and she had a talent for it. She dreamed of becoming a great tennis player and successfully became the first post-00s Chinese woman tennis player to make such success.
