4、ut according to Carol Ann Rinzler, this may actually cause you to gain weight. Rinzler reasons that missing a meal causes your metabolism(新陈代谢) to slow down so that you burn food more slowly. This only makes you feel hungrier and by the time you finally do reach the table you will probably eat more
5、food. Strange as it may seem, studies show that eating several small meals and snacks throughout the day is a more healthy way to lose pounds. If you swallow (吞下) gum (口香糖),it will stay inside your stomach for seven years. Actually, it takes just a few days for gum to make its exit-not seven years,
6、says Nei Izenberg, M. D., editor of Kids Health Organization. But because gum is made of the same thing as rubber, it cannot be fully digested (消化) in your stomach- so if you gum up the works on a regular (经常的) basis, you might find yourself in a sticky situation. The best way to stop a nosebleed is
7、 to lift your head back. Now thats bad advice. Bloody noses are caused by broken blood vessels (血管), so while lifting your head back might stop the fluid from rushing out of your nose, it wont stop the bleeding; youll just end up swallowing lots of blood. Your best bet? “Rest quietly. Dont poke or p

12、ng to buy their love with expensive gifts nowadays. Over recent decades we seem to have created a must have culture among our young people. Many mothers and fathers believe they are failing as parents if they are unable to ensure that their children have the latest toy, electronic devices (the lap-t
13、op, cellphones, Game Boy, etc.) along with their friends. In many cases, families also feel pressured to enroll (使加入) children in every interest club or after-school activity that is available to fill up their time like most of the other children. But experts warned that the move might affect precio
14、us family time negatively. Graham Gorton, chairman of the Independent Schools Association, said that parents spent too much time filling their childrens lives, which had a series of negative effects on the very precious family time that exists. It seems that those times when a whole weekend without
15、planned work was seen as a luxury (奢侈) and a perfect opportunity to spend time together and share those valuable moments of childhood are long gone, Mr. Gorton said. As a child I only once said that phrase that parents feared Im bored. Immediately my mother took action and produced a list of jobs an

Though l didnt think cleaning all the floors could really get rid of my boredom, I enjoyed the feeling of staying at home with my mother and brothers. Earlier this year, some researchers suggested that relatively wealthy parents were sometimes guilty o
17、f failing to teach basic social skills to children. Often, its the rich middle classes that buy off their children through the puter and the TV.

22、nts preparing for exams and officers putting in long hours-you dont need the break as much as you may think that makes you feel less tired. Scientists have long assumed that willpower (意志力) is a limited resource, which is why you feel the need to have a rest, have a snack and e back to a task when y
23、oure feeling better. They argued that the only way to restore willpower was by rest, food or entertainment.But psychologists have challenged this theory, saying weak willpower is all in your head. They found that peoples beliefs in willpower determine how long and how well theyll be able to work on
24、a tough mental exercise. If you think of willpower as something thats limited, youre more likely to be tired when you perform a difficult task, said Prof.Veronika Job. But if you think of willpower as something that is not easily used up, you can go on and on.The researchers designed four experiment

After a tiring task, those, who believed or were led to believe that willpower is a limited resource, performed worse on standard concentration tests than those who thought of willpower as something they had more control over. They also found that leading up
26、to final exam week, students who believed the limited resource theory ate junk food 24 percent more often than those who believed they had more control in resisting temptation (诱惑). Mr. Job said. The theory that willpower is a limited resource is interesting, but it has had unintended consequences. Students who may already have trouble studying are being told that their power of concentration is limited, and they need to take frequent breaks. But a belief in willpower as a non-limited resource mak
