Why do you think people who live in some hot countries eat very spicy(辛辣的)food? Is it because the spices make the food taste better? Is it just because their parents and grandparents and great-grandparents liked hot food，or is there some connection between spices and healthy food?
Researchers from Cornell University think that it is because spice plants have some important chemicals(化学物质)．These chemicals can kill bacteria(细菌)which spoil food．
“Most common spices can kill 75 to 100 percent of the bacteria in food，”explains one of the scientists．The bacteria grow more easily and spoil food more quickly at higher temperatures．For this reason，it is more difficult to keep food from spoiling in hot climates，
Do you like your food spicy? Your answer probably tells something about the country you come from．If you like spicy food，it is possible that hundreds of years ago，when there were no fridges，people in your country started using spices to keep the food from spoiling．The traditional spicy dishes helped those people to live longer，healthier lives．Today，in a time of fridges，the spices just make the food taste good．

Feeling left out?
A reader wrote in to say that she was feeling lonely at break because her best friend
wasn’t around．Here’s our advice to her—and to all kids who feel lonely sometimes．
It’s hard when a best friend isn’t around—maybe because she moved to a different
school or a different class．You may feel lonely at break or lunchtime．You want to have new
friends．but how do you make them? Maybe it seems like everybody else already has their
friends．But remember, there’s always room for more friends．
Start by looking around your classroom—think about which kids you’d like to play
with at break．Look for chances to say hi to them，smile，and be friendly．Offer to share
something or express your appreciation(欣赏)to them．Invite someone to play with you or
say “Do you want to sit here?” in the lunchroom．When you’re at break，walk over to kids
you want to play with．act friendly，and say “Hi，can l play, too?” or just join in．
If you have trouble doing this or if you’re feeling shy, ask your teacher to help you make
new friends．Teachers are usually pretty good at matching up friends．The best way to make
friends is to be a friend．Be kind，be friendly，share，say nice things，offer to help—and pretty soon，you’ll have one，or two，or even more new friends.
You might still miss that special best friend．But when you see each other, you can share
something you didn’t have before she left：You can introduce her to your new friends!
