5 . Planning on watching a Premier League match, an FA Cup or a fierce English clash (比赛)? Head to one of these football friendly pubs and bars, where you can score wonderful surroundings with a cold beer and some delicious food.
The Belushi’s Sports Bar, London Bridge
Student-styled bar with lots of large screens, plus filling burgers and bar snacks. They’re strict with IDS, so bring one. Other Belushi’s can be found around London (Camden, Shepherd’s Bush, Hammersmith, Greenwich).
The Belushi’s Sports Bar, 161-165, Borough High Street, SE1 1HR
Pub on the Park, Hackney
True to its name, you can pretty much watch the match in the park—the gardens here are furnished with TVS and heaters. Admirable range of beers for a sports establishment.
Pub on the Park, 19 Martello Street, E8 3PE
Three Compasses, Dalston
Spacious gastro (美食的) pub with a few screens. You can enjoy home-made beer and award-winning burgers here (made with Angus beef we’re told).
Three Compasses, 99 Dalston Lane, E8 1NH
Famous Three Kings, Hammersmith
Winner of various sports pub awards. Screens everywhere you look. One of the gardens shows football when it’s warm enough. This is a Liverpool pub, but all comers are welcome.

Sports Bar&Grill, Old Street, Canary Wharf
Book a table for individual screens. A bit anti-social maybe, but one way to guarantee you’re not stretching your neck for 90 minutes. The food isn’t cheap. There are other Sports Bar&Grill across London (Marylebone, Canary Wharf, Clapham Junction, Farringdon, Victoria), not all with the private TV option-which is we recommend this one.

7 . Americans spend billions on vitamins, multivitamins for their health, but a review of numerous studies concluded there is little to no evidence that some of those vitamins prevent heart disease, cancer or death.
The report, released by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force last week, concluded that “recent evidence is not enough” to determine whether vitamins actually help or hurt your health, based on 84 studies, 52 of which were done since 2014. Vitamins examined included vitamins A, B, C, D and E, as well as other multivitamins.
“Our suggestion is neither for nor against taking vitamins, or combinations of those nutrients (营养物质). We just don’t have enough evidence,” said Dr. John Wong, a doctor in the Department of Medicine at Tufts Medical Center who was involved in the report.
While the finding is that vitamins don’t have any benefits to “healthy, non-pregnant (未怀孕) adults”, it doesn’t apply to “children, people who are pregnant or may become pregnant, or people who are hospitalized.”
The Task Force admitted it makes sense that people would take vitamins in hopes of health benefits, as some shortage may lead to illness. But experts agreed the best way to get good health and prevent cancer is a balanced diet and regular physical activity.
“The suggestion across all organizations about vitamins is to eat a balanced diet, and then the key tends to be on plenty of fruit and vegetables and less junk foods,” Wong said.
Wong added people should refer to their health doctors to determine if any vitamins are worth taking. He said this suggestion should also serve as a need to further research into proving the official benefits and risks for each vitamin.
1. Why can’t we say whether vitamins really benefit or harm health?| A．Because they really have no benefit. |
| B．Because many studies have proved it. |
| C．Because evidence is not enough at present. |
| D．Because Dr. John Wong wasn’t involved in the research. |
| A．Vitamins are of no benefit to anyone. |
| B．Vitamins are beneficial to healthy adults. |
| C．Children can’t take vitamins though they are in hospital. |
| D．People could take vitamins if lack of vitamin may tend to illness. |
| A．Taking enough vitamins. |
| B．Eating more packaged foods. |
| C．Following their health doctor’s advice. |
| D．Having a balanced diet and doing exercise. |
| A．Taking Vitamins: No Benefit to People |
| B．Doctor’s Advice on Buying Vitamins |
| C．Taking Vitamins: Likely to Waste Money |
| D．Americans Spending More Money on Vitamins |
