【题目】What can be both red or green, round or sharp, big or small, and more importantly, loved or hated by someone? Yes, the answer is chilies (辣椒).

Many of us in China enjoy adding chilies to our food, but did you know that this spicy ( ) vegetable could also be dangerous? A 34-year-old US man recently ended up in hospital after

eating a Carolina Reaper, the spiciest chili people have known so far. After taking just a single bite of one, the man suffered from serious headaches in the following days, reported BBC News.

In fact, eating spicy food causes stomachache and headache. But if chilies are harmful, why do people like to eat this vegetable? So what makes people love chilies so much? The human body is influenced by natural chemicals that produce “a sense of happiness”, noted BBC News.

And chilies do good to people in another way. Scientists found that the death rate of those who eat spicy food once or twice a week is 10 percent lower than those who eat it less than once a week. The death rate is 14 percent lower for those who eat spicy food six to seven times a week. This encourages people to eat more spicy food to improve health and bring less death risk at an early age.

【题目】“I will think of it.” It is easy to say this, but do you know what great things have come from thinking? We cannot see our thoughts, or hear, or taste, or feel them, yet what power they have!

A boy named Watt sat quietly by the fireside, watching the lid(盖子) of a pot move up and down. The boiling water makes steam. He wanted to find out why the steam in the kettle moved the heavy lid. He went on thinking and thinking. When he grew up, he improved the steam engine(发动机) so much that it could easily do the work of many horses. When you see a steamboat or a steam train, remember that it would never have been built if it had not been the hard thinking of someone.

James was a poor farmer’s boy from Scotland. Once, seeing the inside of a watch, he thought, “I am sure that I could make a watch too.” He kept thinking and then made a wooden clock which kept good time. In a few years while still a small boy, he made enough money to support his father. When he grew up, he went to London to live. Some of the wisest men in England, and the king himself, used to come and listen to him speak. His motto was “I will think of it” which means that he would be able to think of how to do something. In this way, he made his thoughts useful to himself and the world.

Boys and girls, when you have a difficult lesson to learn, don't feel discouraged. Think, and by thinking you will learn how to think in a way that solves your problems, and the problem of others.
