Below are some smart ways to stay healthy suggested by some American experts.

Drink More Coffee

When was the last time you heard a doctor use the word miracle? Well, wake up and smell the coffee: “It’s amazing,” says liver specialist Sanjiv Chopra, MD, professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School. “Coffee is truly a lifesaving miracle drug.”

Though he says it’s still a “scientific mystery” how a simple cup of coffee works its wonders in the body, large epidemiological studies have repeatedly proved its astonishing benefits.

“Drink it black, or at most put a little skim milk in it” to minimize calories, Dr. Chopra recommends. He drinks at least four cups a day himself, though most people should limit themselves to two. And no, he jokes, “I’m not sponsored by Starbucks.”

Take a Walk for Your Memory

Aerobic (有氧运动的) exercise is good for your body, great for your mind, according to the latest research from brain-fitness pioneer Arthur Kramer. Every year, an area called the hippocampus, which is key to memory, shrinks by about 1 to 2 percent, increasing the risk of dementia (脑衰) as the years roll by. However, Kramer’s new investigations reveal that the hippocampi of adults who walked briskly for about 45 minutes three times a week grew by about 2 percent over the course of a year, preventing age-related shrinking.

It’s never too late to start exercising, Kramer says; volunteers in his research were between 55 and 80 years old and hadn’t exercised at all. And it doesn’t need to be backbreaking. “Anything that raises your heart rate seems to work,” he says. “Walking is fine. Just find something you like and do it.”

Early to Bed, Early to Eat

“Being a night owl might increase your waistline,” says sleep expert Michael Breus, PhD. People who stay up late and sleep late tend to eat more fast food and consume more of their calories after 8 p.m. than do normal sleepers.

“One of the easiest things that anyone on a diet can do to improve her results is go to bed and wake up at the same times every day,” Breus says. “This way, your body knows when to sleep and is much more efficient. Organize your eating, too, by trying to eat meals at the same times every day. Avoid eating after 8 p.m., and don’t miss morning meals by sleeping in.”

Use the 20-Second Rule

What’s the difference between having a goal and actually accomplishing it? Just 20 seconds, says positive-psychology specialist Shawn Achor. Researchers have learned that if we can cut 20 seconds off the startup time required for a task, we’re much more likely to follow through. So, for example, if you want to work out in the morning, place your shoes and exercise clothes next to your bed the night before. If you want to praise people more, put thank-you notes and a pen on your desk.

Imagine the Worst to Feel Better

Don’t count your blessings; subtract (扣除) them. “Consciously spend a few minutes imagining what your life would be like without the good things,” says Timothy Wilson, a psychologist at the University of Virginia. You’ll experience stronger feelings of love, gratitude, and happiness when you think about what life would be like without the people and things you love. “And they’ll seem surprising and special again,” he adds.

How does it happen that children learn their mother tongue SO well?When we compare them

With adults learning a foreign language，we often find this interesting fact．A little child without

knowledge or experience often succeeds in a complete mastery of the language．A grown—up person with fully developed mental powers，in most cases，may end up with a faulty and inexact corflllland．What accounts for tllis difference?

   Despite other explanations。tlle real answer in my opinion hes partly in the child himself，partly in the  behaviour of the people around him．In the first place，the time of learning the mother tongue  in the most favorable of all，namely，the first years of hfe．A child hears it spoken from morning till night and，what is more important，always in its genuine form，with the right pronunciation，rightIntonation，right use of words and right structure．He drinks in all the words and expressions which come  to him in a hsh．ever—bubbhng spring．There is no resistance：there is perfect assimilation．

  Then the child has，as it were，private lessons all the year round，while an adult language—

student has each week a limited number of hours which he generally shares with others．The child

has another advantage：he hears the language in all possible situations，always accompanied by the

right kind of gestures and facial expressions．Here there is nothing unnatural，such as is often found

In  language lessons in schools，when one talks about ice and snow in June or scorching heat in January  And what a child hears is generally what immediately interests him．Again and again，when his attempts at speech a聪successful，his desires are understood and fulfilled．

  Finally，though a child’S“teachers”may not have been trained in language teaching，their re-

lations with him are always close and personal．ney take great pains to Inske their lessons easy．
