For example, people could avoid catching a cold if they dressed warmly when the weather starts getting cold. But many people get sick because they fail to do so, and have to spend mone

3、y seeing a doctor. Daily habits like eating more healthy food would have kept millions of families from becoming bankrupt if the patients had taken measures for early prevention. For instance, keeping a balanced diet, such as not consuming too much animal fat and insuring a steady intake of vegetab

4、les and fruits, seems to be quite important. One very effective and costless way of prevention is regular exercise, which is necessary for a healthy mind and body. Regular exercise, such as running, walking, and playing sports is a good way to make people feel better or reduce stress. In addition

5、, health education plays a key role in improving people's health.

For example, knowing one's family medical history is an effective way to help keep hea

6、lthy. Information about health problems among close relatives will make them aware of what they should do to prevent certain diseases through lifestyle changes, which will work before it is too late. However, stressing disease prevention does not mean medical treatment is unimportant. After all, pr

7、evention and treatment are just two different means toward the same effect.

Elephants can! They can use their se

11、nse of vision and smell to tell the difference between people who pose a threat and those who do not． In Kenya, researchers found that elephants react differently to clothing worn by men of the Maasai and Kamba ethnic groups．Young Maasai men spear animals and thus pose a threat to elephants; Kamba

12、men are mainly farmers and are not a danger to elephants． In an experiment conducted by animal scientists, elephants were first presented with clean clothing or clothing that had been worn for five days by either a Maasai or a Kamba man．When the elephants detected the smell of clothing worn by a Ma

13、asai man, they moved away from the smell faster and took longer to relax than when they detected the smells of either clothing worn by Kamba men or clothing that had not been worn at all． Garment color also plays a role, though in a different way．In the same study, when the elephants saw red clothi

14、ng not worn before, they reacted angrily, as red is typically worn by Maasai men．Rather than running away as they did with the smell, the elephants acted aggressively toward the red clothing] The researchers believe that the elephants’ emotional reactions are due to their different interpretations

15、of the smells and the sights．Smelling a potential danger means that a threat is nearby and the best thing to do is run away and hide．Seeing a potential threat without its smell means that risk is low．Therefore, instead of showing fear and running away, the elephants express their anger and become ag

21、ler．But how much CO2 are we responsible for? A new book by Mike Berners Lee （a leading expert in carbon footprint） might be able to help．How Bad are Bananas?

22、: the ingredients （=parts of a mixture）, the electricity used in the brewery, the equipment, the travel and commuting （交換） of the beer, and the packaging．It’s amazing how many different things need to be included in each calculation．And it’s frightening how much carbon dioxide everything produces．

23、But all of this can help us decide which beer to drink．From Berners-Lee’s calculations, it’s clear that a pint （568ml） of locally-brewed beer has a smaller carbon footprint than a bottle of imported beer．This is because the imported beer has been transported from far away, and it uses more packaging

24、．The local beer only produces 300g of CO2, but the imported beer produces 900g! So, one pint of local beer is better for the environment than three cans of cheap foreign lager （淡啤酒） from the supermarket． Berners-Lee has even calculated the carbon footprint of cycling to work．Nothing is more environ

26、n fact, bananas are good in general because they don’t need packaging, they can be transported by boat and they grow in natural sunlight． So, does this mean that cycling is bad for the environment? Absolutely not, for a start, if you cycle, you don’t use your car, and the fewer cars on the road, th

27、e fewer traffic jams．And cars in traffic jams produce three times more CO2 than cars traveling at speed．Cycling also makes you healthy and less likely to go to a hospital．And hospitals have very big carbon footprints! So maybe it’s time for us all to start making some changes．Pass me a banana and a
