上海市英语中考阅读之健康漫谈
目前随着人们生活水平的不断提高,业余生活也越来越丰富,购物成为人们生活中最为重要的活动之一,这就需要我们不断地参与社会实践,多了解有关购物的知识;饮食与健康也成ter? Is it just because their parents and grandparents and great-grandparents liked hot food,or is there some connection between spices and healthy food?
Researchers from Cornell University think that it is because spice plants have some important chemicals(化学物质).These chemicals can kill bacteria(细菌) which spoil food."Most common spices can kill 75 to 10a0 percent of the bacteria in food," explains one of the scientists.The bacteria grow more easily and spoil food more quickly at higher temperatures.For this reason,it is more difficult to keep food from spoiling in hot climates.
Do you like your food spicy? Your answer probably tells something about the country you come from.If you like spicy food,it is possible that hundreds of years ago,when there were no fridges,people in your country started using spices to keep the food from spoiling.The traditional spicy dishes helped those people to live longer,healthier lives.Today,in a time of fridges,the spices just make the food taste good.

This is not a diet.It's a simple way to lose weight.And you don't even have to give up the food you love or join a gym.You just follow some habits that thin people have.Keep them,and you'll become thin.
(1) Wake-up
When you wake up in the morning,sit up slowly without using your hands.With legs straight out,bend(弯曲) forward until you feel sore in your back.It will burn about 10 calories(热量单位:卡路里).
(2) Start with soup
When you have a meal,order a clear soup,and have it before having the main food.In this way,you'll feel fuller,so you'll eat less when the main food comes.
(3) An apple (or more) a day
Apples are full of fiber(纤维) and water,so your stomach will want less.The study shows that people who eat at least three apples a day lose weight.
(4) Stand up and walk around
Every time you use the mobile phone,stand up and walk around.Heavy people sit on average(平均) two and a half hours more
each day than thin people.This skill is very important as standing up and walking around will burn 50 or more calories.

Teenage boys who often eat fish may be doing their brains some good,a new study suggests.
Swedish researchers found that among nearly 5000 15-year-old boys they surveyed,those who eat fish more than once per week tended to score higher on intelligence tests three years later.The findings show that fish may in deed be brain food.
Researchers believe that fish — especially oily fish are important to early brain development and to keeping healthy brain function throughout life.
The findings are based on data from 4792 teenage boys who answered questions on diet and lifestyle when they were 15 years old.And when they were 18,they had an intelligence test.
On average,the study team found,those who ate fish more than once per week scored higher than those who ate fish less than those who ate fish less than weekly.The researchers also studied several other factors
that influence both children's diets and their intelligence scores — like parents' education levels.
"These findings are important," Aberg,the head of the team,said,"because the study was carried out between the age of 15 and 18,when educational achievements can help to shape the rest of a young man's life."
It's too soon to make specific(具体的) diet suggestions for teenagers,according to Aberg,"But for the time being," she said,"it happens that including fish in a diet can make a valuable contribution to intelligence in teenage boys."

( ) 1.The underlined word "intelligence" in the passage means "_______" in Chinese.
