1._______Why do you think people who live in some hot countries eat very spicy food? Is it because the spices make the food taste better, or is there some connection between spices and healthy food? Researchers from Cornell University think that it is because spices plants have some important chemicals. These chemicals can kill bacteria which spoil food.

2._______ 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.

3.Some birds like eating locust, but birds cannot easily catch them. Why? It is because locusts change their colors together with the change of the colors of crops. When crops are green, locusts look green. But as the harvest time comes, locusts change to the same brown color as crops have.

Subject: Advice

Dear Sally,

I’m writing to ask you for advice. I know you read a lot. But I didn’t like reading. I still remember what you told me about reading when you came to study in my class as an exchange student last term. You told me reading is like talking with a wise man and reading makes a full man. Now things have changed. I have fallen in love with reading. But I still have some questions. Could you help me with them?

● What kind of books should I read?

● How much time should I spend in reading every day?

● What is the proper time for reading?

● If my parents don’t allow me to spend too much time in reading, what should I do?

By the way, I’d like to take part in the English Reading Contest of our school next month, if possible. I’m looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Best wishes,

Michael
