I would like to talk to you about space vegetables, and to show you that space vegetables are healthy and good for you.

Space vegetables are grown from seeds(种子) that have been taken to and brought back from outer space. The seeds are affected by radiation and low gravity in outer space. When they are brought back to the Earth, these seeds produce vegetables that are bigger, healthier and more nutritious (有营养的)than normal vegetables. However, some people worry about eating space vegetables. They think that space vegetables might not be good for us and could give us cancer as a result of their exposure (暴露)to radiation in space. People should not be scared, as space vegetables are actually perfectly healthy.

Here are some facts that you should know about space vegetables:

Space vegetables are grown from seeds that are carefully selected. When seeds are brought back from space, they are tested to make sure that the vegetables they grow will be safe to eat. There are no traces of radiation after testing.

Space vegetables are better for you than normal vegetables. For example, space tomatoes stay fresh for twenty days, which is one week longer than normal tomatoes. Another popular space vegetable is the pepper(辣椒). Space peppers contain 20 per cent more Vitamin C than normal peppers.

After genetically modified(改进的) foods come onto the market, people worry that they are eating unknown things. For example, if nut genes are put inside potatoes, people allergic(对...过敏) to nuts might get very sick from eating these potatoes because they do not know they are also eating nuts. Unlike genetically modified foods, space vegetables have not been genetically changed. This means that no new genes are put into the vegetables. Therefore, they won’t damage your health.

Ask Dr. Emily for Advice on Your Problem

Dear Dr. Emily,

I started Grade 7 this year and we have this project in our school:everyone in Grade 7 gets a little partner(伙伴). It means that we each have a partner from Grade 1. We need to take them to school and help them know more about the school. I ‘m OK with children but I just can’t make friends with them. All my classmates do better than me. I have a bad temper and I don’t want to scare them away. I need some advice.

Kirsty,12

Dear Kirsty,

I think what your school does is a great way to learn how to take care of others. First, remember that the children from Grade 1 are much younger than you. They don’t know as much as you.Second,remember not to be angry when things go wrong. You may scare them. Last but not least, keep in mind that kids love to try new things. So try to teach them something new and they can be interested in it. For example, you can play new interesting games with them. I hope things will be better for you soon.

Learn to relax. Overwork is the main reason why so many students feel tired and stressed(紧张). Cut down some of the jobs you need to do each day so that you can only focus on the most important things. Leave time for activities that are relaxing and fun. This might mean reading a good book, listening to the music, going for a walk or taking a relaxing bath.

Get a good night’s sleep. Getting enough sleep will help you keep your body and mind in the best form. If you stay up late and need to get up early for school the next day, you may not be able to concentrate(集中)on the things you need to do.

Exercise regularly and eat well. Don’t rush through your meals. Eat less junk food(垃圾食品)or fast food. Eat healthy food instead.
