4 . It’s 1:45 A.M., and 21-year-old Thomas Murphy is studying for an important exam. To stay awake, he is drinking a cup of coffee — one that has two to three times the amount of caffeine as a same sized can of soda. Many students like Murphy, as well as runners, and airline pilots, get energy from one of humankind’s oldest stimulants: caffeine.
Caffeine is in many foods or drinks, but is it really good for us? Charles Czeisler, a sleep expert, believes that caffeine causes us to lose sleep. We consume caffeine to stay awake, which later makes it impossible to get the rest we need, says Charles.
Health risks have also been connected to caffeine consumption. Over the years, people have believed caffeine consumption could cause certain kinds of cancer and bone illness. But no studies show that caffeine causes these illnesses.
Roland Griffiths, a professor, believes that using caffeine too often causes physical dependence. He says, “Heavy caffeine users’ motive change from high to low, or they feel tired or sad when they can’t have a coffee, a cup of tea. To stop these feelings, users must consume caffeine.”
Although there are these worries, caffeine is not dangerous when consumed properly. Actually, a lot of research suggests that it has health advantages. For example, studies show that caffeine can help lessen muscle pain. As a stimulant, caffeine can help improve one’s mood. Research has also shown that some caffeinated drinks — certain teas — have illness-fighting chemicals that can help the body fight many illness-fighting chemicals that can help the body fight many illnesses.
What’s more, caffeine increases alertness, memory, and reaction speed. Because it fights tiredness, it helps people do better while driving, flying, and studying. And while it is true that caffeine can increase blood pressure, the effect doesn’t last long, so it won’t cause heart trouble. Moreover, although it’s used all over the world, caffeine has hardly been overused. “With caffeine, overuse will stop itself,” says Jack Bergman, a specialist at Harvard Medical School. “If you consume too much, you get... uncomfortable, and you don’t want to continue.”
Caffeine effects are real, but most often not serious. Whether it’s a student drinking coffee before class or a businessperson enjoying tea with lunch, humankind’s favourite stimulant is at work every day, all over the world.

◆ 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, 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, your body needs food to get you going. You will be smarter after eating breakfast.
◆ Eat healthy snacks like fruit, 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 eating supper until the last minute. Try to eat supper at least 3 hours before you go to bed. This will give your body a chance to digest more of the food before you rest for the next 8-10 hours.

7 . When you open the fridge, you find some moldy (发霉的) food sometimes. But before you can throw it away, your mother stops you. She doesn’t want to waste food. She cuts off the moldy part and eats the rest. Is it safe to do this?
Mold can grow on almost all kinds of food. Mold is usually green, white, black or grey. Mold makes food soft and changes its color. Moldy food tastes quite bad—and it’s not safe to eat.
If you find mold in soft food, throw it away. Soft food, such as bread, tomatoes or hot dogs, usually holds water. This allows mold to easily grow below its surface. Bacteria (细菌) can also grow along with it.
But it’s easy to remove mold from hard food. The mold can’t grow very deeply inside this kind of food. According to the BBC, you should cut about 2.5 cm around and below the mold to remove it. It’s OK to cut the moldy parts out of hard food and eat the rest. But if the food is completely covered with mold, you should still throw it away.
Most kinds of mold are bad for us. But some kinds of mold can be used to make food. For example, penicillium can be used to make many types of cheeses, such as blue cheese. These cheeses are safe to eat—and they’re quite delicious as well.

8 . Parents ask us not to drink water during dinner, because it may make our body sick. However, some researchers think differently.
“If you drink a full cup of water, you can still digest the delicious food well.” said Deborah B. Proctor. According to her book called The Medical Assistant, it takes only a few minutes to digest water. It’s too short to make any difference.
Drinking water does good to our health. We should drink water when we are thirsty. It is our body’s need. It may be in the middle of the meal. Our body asks for some water when the food is oily, or too salty. Don’t refuse just because we don’t know anything right about drinking water.
Even if we would like to drink water, make sure we know how to do it right. The water should be at the room temperature. Cold water is bad for our health. Moreover, don’t take too much water when you’re thirsty. Drinking water makes you feel full. When a feeling of fullness comes, make sure if you take enough food to make your body healthy.
