Health experts have discovered that adding low-calorie vegetable soup to the start of a meal can actually help to lose weight.

Because you feel full sooner, you eat less of your main course.

The soup regime（养生法）was tested by researchers at Pennsylvania State University, led by Dr Barbara Rolls.

They found that when people ate a first course of soup before lunch they reduced their total calorie intake by 20 per cent, compared with those who did not begin the meal with soup.

But those who favor creamy soups should be careful．Researchers stressed the soup must be low-calorie and based on stock（菜汤）, not cream.

All of the soups tested in the study were made from identical ingredients - chicken stock , broccoli（硬花甘蓝）, potato, cauliflower（菜花）and carrots.

They were mixed together to create four different textures and thickness from separate stock and vegetables through to pureed soup.

Scientists thought that thick soups with chunks of vegetables which required chewing might be more filling, but to their surprise they found all forms had the same effect.

The findings were presented to the Experimental Biology conference in Washington, DC, and the research was part-funded by the National Institutes of Health.

1. What’s the reason that adding low-calorie vegetable soup to the start of a meal can actually help to lose weight?

Most painters discover a style of painting that is fit for them and stick to that, especially if people admire their pictures. But Picasso, the great Spanish painter, was like a man who had not yet found his own particular style of painting. He kept on struggling to find the perfect expression till his death in 1973.

Some of Picasso's paintings are rich, soft colored and beautiful. Others are ugly and cruel and strange. But such paintings allow us to imagine things for ourselves. They force us to say to ourselves, “What does he see that makes him paint like that?” And we begin to look under the surface of the things we see.

Picasso painted thousands of pictures in different styles. Sometimes he painted the natural look of things. Sometimes he seemed to break them apart and throw the pieces in our faces. He showed us what the mind knows as well as what the eyes see. At the age of 90,he remained as curious about the world as he had been when he was young. That is why people have called him “the youngest painter in the world.”

Experts have recently found that making conversation plays an essential part in connecting with people and building closer relationships. Although most people can hold a conversation, only a few are smooth when they talk. If you have dreamed about being a good talker, or you just want to make some change, then listen up!

●Talk slowly

Generally, good talkers don’t rush into a conversation. 1. They act as if they have all the time in the world. This makes them come off as centered and collected. Model this way of talking and you will create the same effect.

●Hold more eye contact

Most people keep eye contact about 2/3 of the time or less when they talk. 2. This will convey confidence and interest in interacting with them.

3.

People with good conversation skills are more likely to notice the kind of things that the average person doesn’t notice, and to bring such details into the conversation. They may notice and point out an interesting ring on the other person’s hand, a certain foreign accent, or a certain voice tone they use when saying a name. All these details help to leave a deep impression.

●Express Your emotions

4. Express your feelings about those facts. Keep in mind that it is at the emotional (情感) level that people connect best.

●Use the best words

The ability to talk smoothly has a lot to do with choosing the precise(精确的) words to convey your precise feelings or thoughts. 5. It will help you develop a way with words and allow you to express yourself more easily.

Conversational skills don’t improve just like that. It takes time, practice and the ability to learn at a rapid rate from your own experiences.

B. Offer interesting news.

C. Improve conversational skills.

E. It’s a very good idea to hold eye contact just a bit more than that.

Experts recently suggested that teens should start adopting early bedtimes. Before you dismiss it as a habit suited only for young kids, consider that there are serious advantages in being well-rested. And now, even more research suggests that putting phones away before going to sleep is important to teens’ well-being.

A new study from Seton Hall University School of Health and Medicine Science found that 62 percent of kids used their smart phones before bed, and it’s causing less sleep and poor performance in school.

Those teens who text(发短信) before bedtime tend to go to sleep later, and get up later in the morning. Such behavior can be associated with mental health issues like depression or anxiety. Besides, once teens do receive a text, experts found, they tend to respond right away. Then the text conversation continues — resulting in an even later bedtime.

The study’s co-author Dr. Peter Polos says this leads to excessive stimulation(过度刺激) at night. Light from electronic devices can block the secretion(分泌) of melatonin — a hormone(荷尔蒙) that promotes sleep, which makes sleep difficult in the face of overuse of smart phones at night. It’s true! More screen time means less sleep time; other studies have suggested the same idea.

As for a final piece of advice, Dr. Sushanth Bhat says, since getting the proper amount of sleep is very important for brain development and learning in the teenage years, our study should encourage parents and guardians (监护人) to limit adolescent smart phone usage at night. Keep in mind that teens aren’t the only ones addicted to their phones! Adults can also benefit from setting a tech curfew(宵禁) for themselves. After all, kids learn by example!

1.What is the text mainly about?

A. How to promote sleep.

B. How kids learn from their parents.

C. The advantages of going to bed early.

D. The disadvantages of phone usage before bed.

2.Who are likely to go to sleep later according to the text?

A. Kids having text conversations before bed.

B. Kids putting their phones away at night.

C. Kids studying their lessons hard at school.

D. Kids exercising with friends after school.

3.Melatonin can ________.

A. make sleep difficult　　　　　　　　　　　 B. lead to later bedtimes

C. help people fall asleep　　　　　　　　　　 D. wake people from a sleep

4.The author advises parents to ________.

A. learn from their kids

B. get rid of smart phones

C. set a good example to their kids

D. try to benefit from hi-tech development
