The fires were made bigger by winds of up to 50 miles per hour and dry air in the area.At least 20 people have been killed, the state government said. About 200 have been injured. At least 3,500 homes and businesses have been destroyed. About 50

Looking
22、at past studies they found that, while heavy drinkers do put on weight; those who drink in moderation can actually lose weight.A spokesman for the research team at Navarro University in Spain says, Light to moderatealcohol intake, especially of wine, may be more likely to protect against, rather tha
23、n promote, weight gain. The International Scientific Forum on Alcohol Research reviewed the findings and agreed with most of the conclusions, particularly that data do not clearly indicate if moderate drinking increases weight.Boston Universitys Dr. Harvey Finkel found that the biologic mechanisms(生
24、物学机制) relating alcohol to changes in body weight are not properly understood. His team pointed out the strong protective effects of moderate drinking on the risk of getting conditions like diabetes(糖尿 病), which relate to increasing obesity. Some studies suggest that even very obese people may be at
25、lower risk of diabetes if they are moderate drinkers.The group says alcohol provides calories that are quickly absorbed into the body and are not stored in fat, and that this process could explain the differences in its effects from those of other foods. They agree that future research should be dir

Some people cannot handle even the smallest amount of chili peppers in their dinner while others cant get enough of them.Scientists have long been puzzled by why some people love the chili while others loathe it. Plenty of research has been d
31、one on the subject, dating as far back as the 1970s. Previous results showed that a love of chilies is related to childhood experiences, and that cultural influences affect our taste too. But the latest study has found that a persons love of spicy food may be linked to hisor her personality (性格) mor
32、e than anything else, CBC News reported.“We have always assumed that liking drives intake we eat what we like and we like what we eat. But no one has actually directly bothered to connect personality with intake of chili peppers,” said Professor John E. Hayes from Pennsylvania State University, who
33、led the study.But before you look at the study, you should first know that “spicy” is not a taste, unlike sour, sweet, bitter and salty taste. It is, in fact, a burning feeling that you feel on the surface of your tongue. This got scientists thinking that maybe a love of spicy food is brought about
34、by peoples longing for thrill, something they usually get from watching action movies or riding a roller coaster.In the study, 97 participants, both male and female, were asked to fill out questionnaires about their personality, for example, whether they like new experiences or tend to avoid risks.T

However, this latest study has found otherwise. “Its not that it doesnt burn as badly, but t
