1 . ①Nowadays, people always make up their mind to give up sugar, but they always end up with failure. Why is sugar so powerful, and how can you beat it?
②Many sugar cravings (渴求) come from a blood sugar imbalance (不平衡). When your body takes in sugar, your blood sugar quickly goes up and your body lets insulin (胰岛素) out to lower it to a safer level. But if your blood sugar level is too low, your body will want more food to raise it.
③Some sugar cravings are from your brain as a result of lifestyle. For example, if you are too stressed, you will be thirsty for sugar to cheer yourself up. Besides, poor sleep can also lead to overeating sugar, because you need energy to free yourself from tiredness.
④ Sometimes the cravings come from a habit. Perhaps you watched your parents overeat sugar throughout your childhood. Now you do the same, eating pie, for example, even though you are not hungry at all. Or you may eat sweet food like chocolate or ice-cream to reduce (减少) sadness.
⑤ The key to dealing with sugar cravings is to eat foods that stop too much insulin from being released. Healthy fats and protein (蛋白质) are good choices. Protein helps you feel satisfied, which can cut down hunger.
⑥You may find it is hard to give up sugar totally. But once you start to deal with it, you can beat sugar and have a healthy life.

2 . This is a piece of news (新闻) from the USA. The news is about e-cigarettes (电子烟) and health.
In the USA, some health officials (官员) say that e-cigarettes can be a problem. More and more American people fall ill because of e-cigarettes. These officials say that they know about 450 people. They were all ill because of e-cigarettes. Five of these people even lost their lives.
These officials do not know what kind of chemical is in e-cigarettes. That is to say, they do not know what is making people ill. In the USA, some people buy e-cigarettes every day. These people don’t buy e-cigarettes from stores, and they buy them from the streets. The officials say that it is better to use products from stores, not from the streets.
Smoking is bad for our health, so we have to stay away from it. It can make our family unhealthy, too. So if people want them and their family to stay healthy, they must give up smoking. They should force themselves to stay away from cigarettes and e-cigarettes, because both of them do harm to people. Teachers should do something to tell their students about the harm of smoking. What’s more, someone advises people not to sell cigarettes and e-cigarettes.

In our daily life, we often have such an experience: When we want to eat, being busy, we fight with the hunger. But when we’ve been hungry for a long time, we find us no longer hungry. Why does the sense of hunger go away even if we don’t eat?
Why are people hungry? From a scientific point of view, the food we eat is changed into glucose (葡萄糖) for energy, and we feel hungry because we don’t have enough sugar. Our bodies can feel how much glucose there is in the blood. When there is not enough glucose, a person feels hungry. Hunger is not caused by having less food in the stomach, but the changes in glucose levels. So when you’re hungry, you don’t have to have meals.
When we have been hungry for a long time, why aren’t we hungry? In fact, the spare glucose can be stored. When we can’t eat for some reasons, our body will change these stored sugar into energy. When it arrives at a certain stage, our body will give us a message: the glucose is enough. So we don’t feel hungry anymore.
Is it OK not to eat when you’ve been hungry for a long time? No. It is harmful to the human body. When the stored energy is used up, the body breaks down fat to provide itself with energy. During this process, the person will feel dizzy. If worse, the protein (蛋白质) which is very important to the body also starts to break down, and we are in danger. If the worst, we may lose our lives.
For busy people, take some sweets with you on rainy days. If you have been hungry for too long, you mustn’t give up eating! Start with a piece of candy or some soup.
