2 . What’s the best thing to eat on a summer day? Quite a few people would say ice-cream. Yes, eating ice-cream with some fruit is a great way to cool down. But think twice before you eat. If your body is hot from playing sports, it’s not the best time to eat ice-cream.

If you eat ice-cream when your body is hot, it may give your stomach some problems, and you can get diarrhea (腹泻). You can eat some ice-cream after you cool down a little or have some tea. Just try not to eat too much at a time.

After dinner is another time people shouldn’t eat or drink anything cold. Drink something hot after you eat, and your stomach will digest (消化) your food better.

There are many reasons to enjoy drinking tea. However, you should let the hot tea cool down a little before you drink it. Why? A new study reported in the International Journal of Cancer gives the answer.

“Many people enjoy drinking tea, coffee or other hot drinks. However, according to our report, drinking very hot tea can increase the risk of esophageal cancer (食道癌), so you’d better wait until hot drinks cool down before drinking,” the lead writer of the study, Dr. Farhad Islami of the American Cancer Society, said.

For the study, Islami and his team followed more than 50, 000 people aged between 40 and 75 years old. They found 317 of those people had esophageal cancer. The National Cancer Institute reported that about 17, 290 Americans had esophageal cancer in a year, and that only about 19 percent of sick people survived. However, five years later, they died.

The scientists found that drinking 700 ml drinks (about three cups) every day or more at a higher temperature (60°C or hotter) would have a 90 percent higher risk of esophageal cancer, compared with people drinking the same cups at temperature below 60℃.

This is not the first report showing a person drinking very hot drinks has the risk of cancer. In 2022, the World Health Organization showed a report. It found that drinking very hot drinks of any kind could increase the risk of cancer.

5 . Healthy eating doesn’t just mean what you eat, but how you eat. Here is some advice (建议) on healthy eating.

    1     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 fruits, yogurt or cheese. We all need snacks sometimes.     2     This doesn’t mean that you can eat a bag of chips instead of (代替) a meal.

    3     With our busy life, we always put off eating dinner until the last minute.     4     Thus will give your body a chance to digest (消化) most of the food before you rest for the next 8-10 hours.

A．Eat with your parents.

B．Eat with others.

C．Don’t eat too much.

D．Don’t eat dinner late.

E．Try to eat dinner at least 3 hours before you go to bed.

F．In fact, it’s a good idea to eat two healthy snacks between your three meals.

6 . Once you begin to eat potato chips, you may keep eating until the bag is empty. Have you ever experienced this? Why can’t you stop eating these salty chips? Scientists said it is due to a kind of neuron (神经元).

Scientists at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston have found that some neurons can make us want to eat salt.

The neurons take note of whether our bodies are lacking sodium (钠), a main part of salt. Then, they send signals (信号) to our brain to encourage us to eat more salt, according to the Daily Mail.

How do these neurons work?

Scientists did experiments on mice. They found that when mice lack sodium, their body gives off a kind of hormone (荷尔蒙) called aldosterone (醛固酮). This hormone then makes these neurons become active.

More research showed that adding salt to meals makes people enjoy their food more, Time magazine reported. This may cause people to continue eating even if they are full.

Scientists from Deakin University in Australia asked healthy people to eat the same food for lunch for four weeks. The amount of salt in the food was changed each week. At the same time, the scientists measured how much these people ate. They also asked the people how they felt about the meals; for example, if they felt happy or were still hungry after eating.

The results showed that salt made people eat 11 percent more food and calories. When eating low-salt meals, they could control (控制) over how much they ate. “But when we add salt to that food, all of a sudden those controls are gone,” researcher Russell Keast said to Time.

Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse, according to the doctors.     1    

Some people blame (责备) the fact that we are surrounded (包围) by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices.     2    

There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight.     3     Because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food or they are always allowed to choose what they eat, they will go for sweet and salty foods every time, and this will carry on throughout their lives.

There is a third reason for this situation.     4     They do not walk to school. When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games. Not only is this an unhealthy pastime, it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food. What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.

The above are the main reasons for this problem.     5     Besides, adults should keep them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.

A．Children these days take very little exercise.

B．So we have to encourage young people to be more active.

C．If there were fewer of these restaurants, then probably children would buy less take-away food.

D．I agree with this.

E．It’s a good idea to allow children to eat what they choose.

F．I feel there are a number of reasons for this.
