Now, this kind of knowledge (知识) is being used in many places. For example, school walls are always painted green because green makes students feel relaxed. It is also good for the students’ eyes.

Dear Donna, Help! I’m a 15-year-old middle school student in New York. In eight months, I’m going to take an entrance exam. To prepare for it, I’m studying six hours a day. I want to do well, but I’m really stressed (焦虑不安的) these days. I can’t sleep. What can I do? Yours, Mary

Dear Mary, Many students around the world have the same problems as you. Here is some advice to help you deal with the stress. 1.Make a study plan for yourself, but don’t study too much in one day. You can remember more by studying one hour each day for six days than six hours in one day. Also, don’t study late at night. 2.Have a rest for 15 to 20 minutes every two hours. Go outside and walk. Doing exercise is a great way to reduce stress. 3.Don’t eat a lot of sugar or drink a lot of coffee. Eat food high in Vitamin (维生素) B, such as eggs, milk, green vegetables and rice. These give you energy and help you think more clearly. 4.A study partner can help you prepare for the test. When you’re worried about the exam, you can talk to your partner. This can reduce stress, too. Good luck! Yours, Donna

8 . You might feel tired after solving a difficult math problem or studying for a whole day. Are our brains (大脑) really “burning” when we spend a lot of time thinking? In fact, our brains never stop burning calories (卡路里), even if we aren’t thinking about anything.

Our brain gets energy (能量) from a kind of sugar that can be found in rice and noodles. Since our brain never really rests, it is burning energy in the form of sugar all the time. Even when we sleep, our brain needs energy to keep our body working. These include breathing, digesting (消化) and keeping the body warm.

The brain uses up 20 to 25 percent of the body’s total (全部的) energy. That’s 350 calories per (每一) day for a woman and 450 for a man. When you are five or six years old, your brain uses up to 60 percent of the body’s energy, according to Live Science.

When we are thinking hard, the brain burns more calories. In one study, researchers found that people who worked on a hard task on a computer ate around 200 more calories than those who were resting. That explains why you feel hungry and eat more after taking exams or studying for a long time.
