9．For most caffeine（咖啡因）consumers，its chief benefit is that it helps you get more done．This is what makes it unusual，says Stephen Braun，author of Buzz：The Science and Lore of Alcohol and Caffeine．
"Its appeal is that it helps us earn more money，"he adds．"What makes it different from other drugs is that it's used as a productivity tool--not for pleasure．"
Many of history's creative minds have also been associated with a large amount of caffeine consumption．
According to one biographer，the French novelist and playwright Balzac drank as many as 50cups of coffee a day．"Were it not for coffee one could not write，which is to say one could not live，"he once insisted．
For seven years，the film-maker David Lynch ate at the same Los Angeles diner every day，drinking up to seven sweetened cups of coffee"with lots of sugar"in one sitting，which he said would guarantee that"lots of ideas"arrived．
Ludwig van Beethoven was said to have painstakingly counted out exactly 60coffee beans per cup when he brewed（煮）coffee．
Perhaps recent tales of caffeine excess featured the singer Robbie Williams，who reportedly consumed 36cups of black coffee and 20cans of Red Bull a day．
It is the routine task itself，as much as the stimulating（刺激的）effects of caffeine，that makes the process so important，says Mason Currey，author of Daily Rituals：How Artists Work．"A lot of artists use the process of making coffee as a gateway to the creative process，"he adds．"You need to get into the right mindset to do that sort of work，and the preparation process provides a focus．"
One problem with attempting to control caffeine，says Braun，is that it affects everyone differently--it is impossible to work out a"safe"limit that works for everyone．"Eventually，you have to become your own scientist--there isn't an alternative to careful self-experimentation，"he says．

6．Ammie Reddick from East Kilbride，Lanarkshire，was only 18months old when she had the accident that had scarred（留下创伤）her for life．The curious child reached up to grab the wire of a hot kettle in the family kitchen and poured boiling water over her tiny infant frame．
Her mother Ruby turned round and，seeing Ammie horribly burnt，called an ambulance which rushed her daughter to a nearby hospital．Twenty percent of Ammie's body had been burned and all of her burns were thirddegree．There，using tissue taken from unburned areas of Ammie's body，doctors performed complex skin transplants to close her wounds and control her injuries，an operation that took about six hours．Over the next 16years，Ammie underwent 12more operations to repair her body．

She is a member of the Scottish Burned Children's Club，a charity set up last year．This month，Ammie will be joining the younger children at the Graffham Water Center in Cambridgeshire for the charity's first summer camp．"I'll show them how to get rid of unkind stares from others，"she says．Ammie loves wearing fashionable sleeveless tops，and she plans to show the youngsters at the summer camp that they can too．"I do not go to great lengths to hide my burns scars，"she says，"I gave up wondering how other people would react years ago．"
