Hnestly speaking, they re ne f thse strange little destinatins that I like t sniff ut everywhere I g, much as ther travellers head tward clthing stres, libraries, cafés r galleries.
The biggest beauty f the grcery stre—whether it s a huge supermarket r a tiny ne—is that it gives yu a glimpse int what lcal peple buy t ck. This ffers clues int their lifestyles and preferences, and int the agricultural and cking practices f the cuntry. I stare at the strange fruits and vegetables, the seafd, the cheese, the spices, the breads, and h, the chclate... always the chclate!
Being an envirnmental nerd ( 痴 迷 者 ) I am, I like paying attentin t packaging, which can reflect their attitude twards envirnmental prtectin. Italy, fr example, has a habit f requiring custmers t bag their fruits and vegetables in plastic fr weighing, while Sri Lanka leaves everything lse in bins. In Brazil, everything is prepackaged in a layer f plastic.
Peple in grcery stres tend t be friendlier. They smile, say hell, and smetimes ask questins, which can lead t great cnversatins. I had a further discussin with a teenaged cashier in Sri Lanka, ver which bag f crunchy mix t buy. He insisted that the ne labeled ‘spicy’ wuld be t ht fr me, but I tld him I was willing t risk it. He laughed and we ended up talking abut my favrite Sri Lankan fds fr ten minutes.
The financial savings extend t suvenirs, t. Whether it is grund spices fr my mm r chclates fr my kids, the grcery stre is the first place I lk fr unique gifts.

What happens inside the skull f a sccer player wh repeatedly heads a sccer ball? That questin mtivated a challenging new study f the brains f experienced players that has caused discussin and debate amng sccer players, and sme anxiety amng thse f us with sccer-playing children.
Fr the study, researchers at the Albert Einstein Cllege f Medicine in New Yrk selected 34 adults, men and wmen. All f the vlunteers had played sccer since childhd and nw cmpeted year-rund in adult sccer leagues.

experienced any knwn cncussins (脑震荡) in the past.
Then the players cmpleted cmputerized tests f their memry and ther learning skills and had their brains examined, using a cmplicated new technique which can find structural changes in the brain that can t be seen during mst scans.
Accrding t the data they presented at a Radilgical Sciety f Nrth America meeting last mnth, the researchers fund that the players wh had headed the ball mre than abut 1,100 times in the previus 12 mnths shwed imprtant lss f white matter in parts f their brains invlved with memry, attentin and the prcessing f visual infrmatin, cmpared with players wh had headed the ball fewer times.
This pattern f white matter lss is “similar t thse seen in traumatic (外伤的) brain injury”, like that after a serius cncussin, the researchers reprted, even thugh nly ne f these players was reprted t have ever experienced a cncussin.
The players wh had headed the ball abut 1,100 times r mre in the past year were als generally wrse at recalling lists f wrds read t them, frgetting r fumbling the wrds far mre ften than players wh had headed the ball less.

第二节 七选五
What is yur favurite clur? D yu like yellw, range, red? 16.
D yu prefer greys and blues? Then yu are prbably quiet, shy, and yu wuld rather fllw than lead. Yu tend t be pessimist (悲观主义者). At least, this is what psychlgists tell us, and they shuld knw, because they have been seriusly
studying the meaning f clur preference, as well as the effect that clurs have n
human beings. 17. If yu happen t lve brwn, yu did s, as sn as yu pened yur eyes, r at least as sn as yu culd see clearly.
18. A yellw rm makes mst peple feel mre cheerful and mre relaxed than a dark green ne; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer t the saddest winter day. 19. A black bridge ver the Thames River, near Lndn, used
t be the scene f mre suicides (自杀) than any ther bridge in the area—until it was repainted green. The number f suicide attempts immediately fell sharply. Perhaps it wuld have fallen even mre if the bridge had been dne in pink r baby blue.
20. It is an established fact that factry wrkers wrk better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted range rather than black r grey.
On the ther hand, black is depressing.
They tell us, amng ther facts, that we d nt chse ur favurite clur as grw up—we are brn with ur preference.
The rms are painted in different clurs as yu like.
If yu d, yu must be an ptimist (乐观主义者), a leader, an active persn wh enjys life, peple and excitement.
Light and bright clurs make peple nt nly happier but mre active.
Life is like a picture r a pem, full f different clurs. G.Clurs d influence ur mds—there is n dubt abut it.
