There is an old saying in China that goes, “The days of the Sanjiu period are the

coldest days.” “Sanjiu period”

, which is in Minor Cold, refers to the third nine-day

period (the l9th to the 27th day) after the day of the Winter Solstice(

冬至

). There are

many different customs related to Minor Cold in China.

Eating hotpot

During Minor Cold people should eat some hot food to benefit the body and defend

against the cold weather. Winter is the best time to have hotpot and braised mutton with

soy sauce. But it is important to notice that too much spicy food may cause health

problems.

Eating huangyacai

In Tianjin, there is a custom to have huangyacai, a kind of Chinese cabbage, during

Minor Cold. There are large amounts of vitamins A and B in huangyacai. As huangyacai

Cold. Cantonese people add some fried preserved (

) pork, sausage and peanuts

and mix them into the rice.

by, the celebration of Minor Cold gradually disappeared. However, the custom of eating

Eat like a king in the morning, a prince at noon, and a peasant at night. This saying is

all about the importanc

e of breakfast. And now scientists can tell us just why it’s so

important. According to a study carried out at Imperial College London, UK, skipping the

first meal of the day not only means you eat more at lunch, but also that your brain wants

to find more unhealthy

foods.

The study suggests that there is a special part of our brain called the

orbit frontal

cortex (

眶额皮层

),

which plays an important part in making choices about what we eat.

It is used for identifying the taste of food, especially when skipping breakfast. It is more

likely to target high-calorie foods when you

’

re on an empty stomach.

London, scanned (

lunch.

When the volunteers had skipped breakfast, they ate around 20 percent more at lunch,

compared with days when they had eaten breakfast. Their brain scans also showed the

Making Peace with Your Parents

As a teen, you’re going through big changes physically and mentally. Your interests

are expanding.

16__

Here is the challenge

：

Kids need to explore the world in new ways, and parents need

to protect them from the dangers all out in that world. These conflicts

（冲突）

can easily

set off fireworks in otherwise calm houses. Sometimes conflicts can

’

t be avoided. But by

paying attention to the building blocks of successful relationships, you can work towards

making home a happy and healthy place for you and your parents.

For instance, try to find a time to talk when your parents all not angry, tired,

distracted, or hungry. A good time to talk is when you’re all relaxed. Timin

g is everything.
