2 . Leanne Carrasco ordered 95 pizzas (比萨饼). The high school senior and her friends filled up goody bags. But this was not your typical graduation party.
Carrasco had volunteered before, with her family, at the Star of Hope Family Development Center. But this time was different.

3 . An Olympic Village is a place that houses Olympic competitors. It is a place where they prepare for what might be the most important moment in their life. But we want to know more about this mysterious place: What really happens in the village?
We asked swimmer Natalie Coughlin, a three time Olympian and 12 -time medalist. She says, “People think it’s a lot more attractive and interesting than it is. It isn’t. It’s like a huge college campus, including a bank, a salon, a post office, and a huge cafeteria- except that everyone is anxious, getting ready for their biggest event under unbelievably high pressure (压力).”
But some other Olympians look differently at their campus. “It’s like the first day of college,” water polo player Tony Azevedo says. “You’re super excited. Everyone s meeting people and trying to socialize with others,”
Coughlin says the best spot to be in the village is the cafeteria. Not only does it provide a place to talk with the rest of the athletes from your country but it’s a great chance for people watching. One of her favorite games was to tell what sport someone in front of her took based on their body type.
Living in the same village means athletes run into one another all the time. Coughlin shares this story: While in London in 2012, at one point applause (欢呼) broke out at the arrival of someone. Coughlin thought it was one of the British royals (王室成员), but it ended up being Jamaica’s Usain Bolt (the world’s greatest runner alive). Runner Allyson Felix— a winner of six gold Olympic medals— has also had her run-ins. In 2008, she came across the world-famous U. S. men’s basketball team, including Anthony, Bryant, Wade and other top players.
It’s “a pretty wild scene, the biggest melting pot— a place where large numbers of people, ideas, and cultures are mixed together— you’ve been in,” said swimmer Eric Shanteau. Felix agrees, saying, “You get to meet people from other countries that you wouldn’t even come into contact with. To me that’s the coolest thing.

4 . I first visited the UK on a vacation as a curious 15-year-old in 2013. The rich culture of London, the beautiful highlands of Scotland and the sunny beaches of Wales deeply attracted me. I decided then that I wanted to carry on my university education in the UK.
Fast forward to 2016 and I arrived at the University of Bristol. The first couple of weeks were great. But after my first month, I started missing my parents, my little sister, the food and the warm, sunny weather.
There was also another problem. Having always studied an Indian curriculum (课程), which is objective, learning based and strict, I found it difficult to adjust to several aspects of the British education system. The freedom of choosing which lectures (课) to go to, the highly subjective and thought-encouraging discussions at tutorials (辅导课) and a large amount of reading I was expected to do caught me off-guard.
It was not until my first end of term exams were over in January 2017 that I could show down and think carefully about the things that I was doing wrong and the things that I got right. The week after my exams ended, I realised how little time I had spent outside the university libraries and my living place.
So I tried new cafes in Clifton, and going for walks near the famous Clifton Suspension Bridge. I also started watching British TV shows. And I evolved socially too. I finally found the societies I wanted to join. I also realised the importance of staying in touch with my tutors and not being afraid of needing and asking for help. I made some amazing fiends in Bristol. Had it not been for the people around me, my first year would not have been as good as it was.
Overall, my second term ended on a much more relaxed and happier note than the first. I wrote my final exams in May and, before I knew it, I had finished my first year of university.

8 . Added sugar exists in nearly 70 percent of packaged(袋装的)foods and is found in bread, snacks, and most breakfast foods. The average American eats about 17 teaspoons of added sugar a day (not counting the sugar that exists naturally in foods like fruit). That's about double the suggested- limit for men (nine teaspoons) and three times as much as the limit for women (six teaspoons).
A number of health organizations agree that cutting back on added sugar is a good idea. They believe that added sugar is a main cause of obesity, but normal-weight people can experience the same health problems connected with too much sugar. A l5-year study found that eating high amounts of added sugar doubles the risk of heart disease, even for people who aren't overweight.
Added sugar has also been connected with an increased risk for diabetes and even Alzheimer's disease.
And increasingly, the scientific community is realizing the worrying nature of added sugar. Brain scan studies show that fructose (a form of sugar found in fruits) put in packaged foods influences the dopamine system, a messenger center in the brain that controls how we experience pleasure. Eating lots of fructose in packaged foods can create changes in the brain similar to those found in alcohol(酒精) addicts.
The fructose found in packaged foods is taken from corn and sugar cane, and much or all of the fiber (纤维)has been taken away. Without the fiber to slow it down, your body gets a big amount of fructose that can cause health problems. However, not to worry: When you eat a strawberry or other fruits, you are eating fructose in its natural state, and it comes with a lot of fiber, which slows the speed at which sugar enters your blood. Your body can deal with fructose well when it's eaten as fruit.
