1 . It has always been thought that alcohol causes people to put on weight because it contains a lot of sugar, but new research suggests a glass a day cold form part of a diet. Looking at past studies they found that, while heavy drinkers do put on weight; those who drink in moderation can actually lose weight.
A spokesman for the research team at Navarro University in Spain says, “Light to moderate alcohol intake, especially of wine, may be more likely to protect against, rather than promote, weight gain.” The International Scientific Forum on Alcohol research reviewed the findings and agreed with most of the conclusions, particularly that data do not clearly indicate if moderate drinking increases weight.
Boston University’s Dr. Harvey Finkel found that the biologic mechanisms (生物学机制) relating alcohol to changes in body weight are not properly understood. His team pointed out the strong protective effects of moderate drinking on the risk of getting conditions like diabetes (糖尿病), which relate to increasing obesity. Some studies suggest that even very obese people may be at lower risk of diabetes if they are moderate drinkers.
The group says alcohol provides calories that are quickly absorbed into the body and are not stored in fat, and that this process could explain the differences in its effects from those of other foods. They agree that future research should be directed towards assessing the roles of different types of alcoholic drinks, taking into consideration drinking patterns and including the past tendency of participants to gain weight.
For now there is little evidence that consuming small to moderate amounts of alcohol on a regular basis increases one’s risk of becoming obese. What’s more, a study three years ago suggested that resveratrol (白藜芦醇), a compound present in grapes and red wine destroys fat cells.

5 . Take a walk down the street of any city and you are sure to pass signs for KFC, McDonald's, and Pizza Hut. In 2010, there are fast food restaurants in over 650 cities throughout China. Last year, the fast food industry in China grew 13%, compared to just 2.9%in the USA. This year, there were over 560 Pizza Huts, 1,200 McDonald's, and 3,000 KFCs throughout the country.
Why is fast food so popular in China? The people behind KFC, McDonald's, and other companies realized the need for adaptation. You can find items in Chinese KFCs that you cannot find in the West. That is because they not only realize that Chinese palates (味觉) are different, but also willingly spend the time and money to create new food specifically for those palates. This localization of an international brand makes fast food eaters in China feel as if they are part of a larger community, yet can enjoy their regional tastes.
Curiosity also played heavily into the popularization of fast food restaurants in China. There's no better way to get people to enter your restaurant than to have something different that everyone is curious to try. There is also a general idea that things from the West are better, or if something is good enough for western people, it is good enough for Chinese people. This could also have encouraged Chinese people, especially the young, to frequently go to fast food restaurants.
People are willing to spend a bit more on these fast food because of the general concern for food safety that seems to be becoming more and more important to most Chinese people. While there are still countless food shops on the roadside that have no government control over safety standards, there are many people who demand higher health standards. These foreign fast food restaurants that follow western standards of food safety attract this crowd. Until they stop providing what the Chinese people obviously want, they will continue to remain popular.

Recently I found that some classmates lead a unhealthy life, such as staying up lately and not eating breakfast. Although we are under great pressure, but it is necessary for us live a healthy life. The following are some useful tip.
First, it’s important that we have a balanced diet and enjoy breakfast every day, because we consume many energy while studying. Second, take exercise regularly is of equal importance, where can help us to keep fit and release stress. More importantly, we should develop a positive attitude, which allows us to look for things positively no matter what happen.
