【推荐1】Sorry, potato people! Although it’s probably no surprise that French fries are among the worst food you can eat, most of us still don’t believe it. After all, it doesn’t hurt to eat some every once in a while ... right? But some people feel guilty (内疚的) to eat French fries and they have a good reason for that.
According to a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, people’s guilty feeling may be well-placed. The research, which researched potato eating in 4,400 older people between ages of 45 and 79 over the course of eight years, shows that eating fried potatoes at least twice a week highly increases our risk of death.
But hold up! Before you completely stop eating potatoes, you should know that it is found that eating potatoes overall (even a lot of them!) wouldn’t kill you. Instead, it’s the type of potato that makes all the difference between life and death.
Eating fried potatoes like French fries at least twice per week increased the risk of death in the study. On the other hand, potatoes that were not fried, such as boiled and baked potatoes, were less likely to cause death.
Why? Potatoes have healthy levels of fiber (纤维) and vitamins, so you can partake without feeling bad. But when it comes to the fried food, you might need to think again. French fries usually have lots of fat and added salt, leading to weight growth. Still, when all is said and done, connection isn’t totally equal to causation (因果关系). More research is needed before certainly concluding that eating French fries alone increases the risk of death.
Luckily, potatoes are still considered as one of your suggested three to five servings of vegetables per day. Just try not to eat the fatty ones, if you can.

【推荐3】Healthy eating doesn’t just mean what you eat, but how you eat. Here is some advice on healthy eating.

Eat with others. It can help you to see others’ healthy eating habits. If you usually eat with your parents, you will find that the food you eat is more delicious.

Listen to your body. Ask yourself if you are really hungry. Have a glass of water to see if you are thirsty--- sometimes you are just thirsty, and you need no food. Stop eating before you feel full.

Eat breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. After you don’t eat for the past ten hours, our body needs food to get you going. You will be smarter after eating breakfast.

Eat healthy snacks (零食) like fruits, yogurt or cheese. We all need snacks sometimes. In fact, it’s a good idea to eat two healthy snacks between your three meals. This doesn’t mean that you can eat a bag of chips instead of a meal.

Don’t eat dinner late. With our busy life, we always put off (推迟) eating dinner until the last minute. Try to eat dinner at least 3 hours before you go to bed. This will give your body a chance to digest most of the food before you rest for the next 8-10 hours.

【推荐2】Technology is developing fast and it has become an important part of our life. Then what will the world be like in the future?

3D food will be both delicious and nutritious（有营养的）. We can use 3D printers to print some basic materials. Scientists believe we just need to turn on a printer in the kitchen and then we can enjoy our favorite food.

5G network will allow more people to get information. Big companies like China Mobile and China Unicom will start to offer 5G. 5G is expected to download about 10 times faster than 4G. For example, we can download a film within just 1 minute. But with a 4G network, it takes about 10 minutes.

Space tour will be a piece of cake. For us common people on the earth, the dream of travelling around space will come true. In the coming years, spaceships will be as popular as buses, trains and planes. We can leave our home and enter space to take an adventure（冒险）. And even we will get used to living there.

You won’t worry about the quality of the things you are shopping online. Some researchers are working on computer screens that can feel a sense of touch when you touch them. “If you’re shopping online for clothes, you could feel their fabrics（面料）.” said Cynthia, an engineer at Texas A&B University, US.

In a word, just as Jules Verne said, “Anything one man can imagine, other men can make it real.”

【推荐3】Anger is a kind of feeling. Many things can make you angry. When your teacher gives you too much homework, when your team loses an important game, when a friend borrows your favorite thing and then breaks it, you may get really angry.

Usually, your body will tell you when you are angry. For example, you breathe（呼吸）faster, your face turns red, and you may want to break something or hit someone, but sometimes, you hide your anger. For example, you may hide it in your heart. The problem is that if you do this, you may get a headache or your stomach may hurt.

In fact, it’s not good to hide your anger, and it’s normal for you to get angry sometimes. But anger must be let out in the right way, without hurting others or yourself.
