21、We all know that drinking too much is bad for us, but what about moderate (适度) drinking?
We’ve known about the relationship between moderate drinking and good health for quite some time. Researchers have identified that people who drink a moderate amount are at a lower risk of things like heart disease and fatness than both people who drink a lot and people who never drink. It’s fairly well-established that if you look at society at large, people who drink a moderate amount are the healthiest in a number of ways.
The problem is that moderate drinking isn’t an isolated behavior (孤立的行为). You can’t easily separate moderate drinking from the people who drink moderately, which means that you can’t easily identify whether it’s actually the alcohol (酒) that’s improving people’s health or something else.
The issue is pretty obvious when you look at the people who drink moderately in all of these studies. They tend to be more educated, smoke less and in general are better off than both people who drink a lot and those who never drink. People who never drink are also different in a lot of ways, for example, illness, poverty (贫穷), and previous alcoholism.
Recent studies in Israel and New Zealand show that there probably aren’t any significant health benefits of moderate drinking. Once you get rid of the effects of society, even a small amount of drink is connected to worse health.
It seems that moderate drinking probably isn’t good for our health after all. While there may be some minor heart health benefits, alcohol is addictive (使人成瘾的) and causes damage to many other organs.
I’m going to keep drinking, but not for my health. Wine is delicious and beer is just wonderful. Drink for the taste, drink to socialise, but don’t drink because you think it’s going to heal your heart. But if possible, try to drink less.

23、The Fallas Festival (法雅节) in Spain
It is sometimes strange how world-famous festivals are started. 【1】 It takes place every March in Valencia of Spain.
Centuries ago, the city’s carpenters would empty their houses of all the old wood they had saved over the winter and burn it all in the local square. Over time, the carpenters began to use their old wood to carve different images. 【2】 Everyone would come to take a look and everything would be burnt.
The Fallas Festival is now one of the most popular festivals in Spain. 【3】 Today, 350 communities that make up Valencia work together to design and make two sculptures. These larger-than-life sculptures, often several meters high, are still made of wood, but also include cardboard. On the 15th of March, the sculptures are paraded around the city.
【4】 These will not be burnt at the end of the festival. They are instead, saved and placed in the local museum, which is open throughout the year. During the festival, there are lots of different community activities. Every activity ends with fireworks being let off during both the day and night.
The Fallas Festival always bring communities together. On the final night, all the sculptures are collected and put on a bonfire (大火堆) in the main Valencia square. The fire is lit and all the year's hard work comes to an end in towers of flames. 【5】
A.The Fallas Festival is an exception.
B.Everyone would participate in carving.
C.This is especially true with the Fallas Festival.
D.A competition is run where the best sculptures are chosen.
E.It also attracts people from the world to watch and take part.
F.Sometimes they would create funny images of famous people.
G.Everyone watching says goodbye to winter and welcome to spring.
24、When Christopher Columbus landed on the then unnamed Costa Rica in 1502, he saw many Indians wearing gold earrings. So he thought the land must be rich in gold. He named the place Costa Rica, which means “rich coast” in Spanish.
Though little gold was found, Costa Rica today is indeed rich with coffee and bananas. Coffee is the most important product in Costa Rica and most of it is exported (出口) to other countries like America and West Germany. Bananas are the country’s second most important export.
Costa Ricans also grow many other crops such as fruits, corn and beans for their own use. Costa Ricans love colors and their houses are painted in bright colors.
Education is very important to the Costa Ricans. Almost every village has a school and education is a must for children between seven and fourteen years of age. Boys and girls go to separate (单独的) schools. Classes begin in March and end in November. The other three months of the year are harvest time and the children have to help their parents to pick coffee beans.
