【推荐1】Tomatoes taste great. With a lot of vitamins, they are good for you, too! People all over the world enjoy this amazing fruit.
Not all tomatoes are red. They can be yellow, orange, pink, or white. All tomatoes are green before they are ready to be picked. Then the tomatoes turn their true color. That’s when they’re ready to eat!
Tomatoes first grew in the Americas. The Incas grew them over 1,000 years ago. They were introduced to Europe by the Spanish in the early 16th century. The Spanish and Italians seem to have been the first Europeans to accept them as food. In France, people grew tomatoes in the garden just to enjoy their beauty. Many people there thought tomatoes would make them sick. It was years before some of them would eat tomatoes.
Tomatoes are fruits. They grow from seeds. They won’t grow in cold weather. But with water, sunlight and warmth, tomatoes grow fast. They can grow in pots or in the ground. As the plant grows taller, people may tie it to a stick. Next is the blooming stage. Flowers appear. The flowers turn into fruit.
Some kinds of tomatoes can be picked in about six more weeks. Some tomatoes are large. One kind of tomato can weigh as much as two pounds.
You can eat raw tomatoes. First, wash them. Then, cut them up for salads or sandwiches. Tomatoes can be cooked, too. They can be grilled, boiled, or even fried. Do you use ketchup? It is made from tomatoes. Tomatoes don’t have a smell. But they taste great in foods around the world. Many dishes from India use tomatoes. Italians use them to make spaghetti sauce and pizza, too. Raw tomatoes are in Mexican salsa.

【推荐2】In the ancient Chinese culture, people believed health came from a balance between the yin and yang life forces. This balance was called qi. When people became sick, they must have an imbalance in the forces. Qi flowed through pathways in the body, which were accessible by certain points. Trained men and women would treat illnesses by inserting very thin needles into various points in a patient’s body. These needles were supposed to re-balance the patient’s energy flow and heal an illness. This treatment was known as acupuncture.
Acupuncture is still used today, and many people have found relief from it. It is mainly used to treat pain, especially from headaches, backaches, muscle aches, and arthritis. Some practitioners use it to help with discomfort that comes from major illnesses such as cancer.
There may be between 360 and 2,000 acupuncture points on the human body. An acupuncturist must know which points are associated with different areas of the body. After discussing a patient’s issues, the acupuncturist will skillfully insert thin needles into different points to reduce the patient’s pain. There is a slight sting (针刺) when the needles go in but beyond that, acupuncture is really painless. The needles stay in for between 5 and 30 minutes.
Research has not proven how or even if acupuncture really works. Acupuncture needles may release hormones (荷尔蒙) that give good feelings. When the patient is feeling happier and more relaxed, the pain goes away. Another idea is that the needles help increase blood flow which stimulates (促进) the body’s natural pain killers. Some people believe that the benefits are all in the patients’ minds; they think it will work, so they feel relief.

【推荐3】Few people can stop themselves from looking at pictures of cute animals. Take Sally chicken which is famous on the Internet as an example. The chicken with a yellow body and a flat mouth always looks lovely. Seeing her cute picture cheers people up. But there’s another useful effect of cuteness.
New research has found that looking at cute pictures of animals can also help us concentrate(专注)better. The finding comes from researchers at Hiroshima University in Japan. They invited 132 university students to take part in some experiments. In one experiment, students were asked to find a given number from a list of numbers within a time limit. They performed the given tasks twice-before and after looking at seven pictures of either baby cats and baby dogs, or cats and dogs. Researchers were surprised to find that students who were shown cute baby animal pictures made fewer mistakes.
However, baby animals look both “cuter” and more “pleasant” than adult animals. What would happen if the test difference came from their being “pleasant”? To find the answer, the researchers chose some food pictures which looked pleasant but not cute, and gave them to another group of students. But seeing the foods did not make the students perform any better in the number test. This finding suggests that seeing cute pictures makes students behave more deliberately, that is to say, they perform tasks with greater time and care.
The “power of cuteness” could be of great use. Think about situations in which people need to act carefully: driving, office work and exams. In my first year of high school, I brought small plastic toys to school during tests. I would set them up in a row on my desk, facing me, and then get busy answering exam questions,” Susana Martinez-Conde wrote in Scientific American.
