| Where is this restaurant? It's on a rock island in the Indian Ocean. When eating fresh seafood, you can enjoy its white beaches and warm tides(潮汐). During low tides, it's easy to walk to the restaurant from the beach. During high tides, you need to swim or take a boat to get there. |
| Try this special barbecue(烧烤) in Spain! There is no fire in this restaurant. All the cooks here use the heat of an active volcano(活火山) to cook food. But don't be afraid, because this volcano is very safe and it has been sleeping for almost 200 years. The cooking methods are not the only unusual things. You can also enjoy beautiful views of red sand and volcanic rock here. |

Lily was looking forward to the weekend. She planned to go out with her friends and have some fun. She picked out a colorful and beautiful skirt. She was satisfied to wear it. She felt happy in her skirt.
However, when she met her friends, they didn't seem to share her enthusiasm(热情).They looked at her skirt and said,"There are too many colors. You look like a colorful bird."Lily felt hurt and embarrassed(尴尬的). She had thought her skirt was cool and unique(独特的) , but now she felt like she had made a mistake.
When she got home, she told her mom what had happened. Her mom listened patiently and then said,"Lily, you should wear what makes you happy. Don't worry about what other people think. You like your skirt, that's all that matters."
Lily thought about what her mom said and realized that she was right. She decided to go her own way, even if it wasn't what her friends thought was cool.
The next time she went out with her friends, she wore another colorful skirt. Her friends looked at her and said the same words again, but this time, Lily didn't feel sad. She smiled and said,"I like it, and that's all that matters."Her friends looked at her and then smiled, too.They understood what Lily's words meant. It didn't matter what she wore, as long as she was happy.
From that day on, Lily wore whatever she wanted, and she felt confident and happy. She learned that it was important to be true to herself and not worry about what other people thought.
We have physical reactions(反应) to our feelings. There's a special part of your brain that reacts to anger. When you are angry, your body makes things like adrenaline(肾上腺素) that give you more energy and make you strong. Blood moves in your body. Your body is getting ready to fight or run. Your blood pressure and temperature go up. You breathe faster, and your heart beats faster, too. Even your eyes change!
You can't control these changes because they appear from your body naturally, but you can change the way you react to them. Some people say you should count to ten when you are angry.That will give you time to calm down. Good advice!
What about happiness? Happiness happens in the brain, too. There are two important things that make you feel happy: dopamine(多巴胺) and oxytoein(催产素). Dopamine gives you the feeling you get when you are proud of something, like when you win a game. Dopamine makes you feel great! Oxytocin is the reason we feel good when we hug(拥抱). It's really important for new babies to have skin-to-skin(皮肤) touches with their moms and dads, because it increases their oxytocin.
Everyone has difficult feelings sometimes. It is OK to have these feelings. But what can you do when you are angry, sad, or scared? Here are some suggestions:
◆Write about your feelings.
◆Talk to someone, like a parent, a teacher, or a friend.
◆Run around or kick a ball really hard. You can even do a crazy dance!
Whether yellow, red or white, the onion is a vegetable that you may not know well. The list of its uses in cooking is endless. People have used onions to add flavor(味道) to their foods for thousands of years. They have special chemicals(化学物质) that improve your ability to fight off sickness and you have fewer chances of getting a disease.
No matter how good onions are for you, it is difficult to cut an onion without your eyes filling with tears! When you cut into an onion, irritating (刺激性的) chemicals inside the onion will get into the air. Your eyes make tears to wash away the chemicals and protect your eyes.
Luckily, cooks and scientists have discovered some ways to keep you from crying when you cut up onions:
● The water will wash away the chemicals before they can reach your eyes.
● Use a fan to blow air over the onion as you cut it. The air will blow the chemicals away from your eyes.
● This helps make the chemicals in the onion move slowly, so they may not ever reach your eyes.
If you try out these good ideas and still cry while cutting onions, don't worry. Scientists think if you cut more onions, your body will become more resilient(有适应力的) to the onions'chemicals. If you think about how healthy onions are, you might even call those tears "happy tears".
A. They touch your whole eyes and cause pain.
B. So the tears will not last long.
C. Put the onion in a fridge for an hour before cutting.
D. Cut the onion under running water.
E. Besides onions' great taste, they are very good for you.
