Caffeine
Caffeine is probably the mostwidely used drug in the world. Humans have been consuming caffe-ine forhundreds of years. primarily in the form. of coffee, tea, and cocoa. Habitualcoffee and tea drinkers had long been observed to have a lower incidence ofnon-melanoma素瘤) skin cancers,although no one knew why. A recent study found thatcaffeine affects skin cells damaged by ultraviolet radiation, a main cause ofskin cancer. Caffeine interferes with a protein that cancerous cells need tosurvive, leaving the damaged cells to die before they become cancerous. Drinkingcaffeinated coffee has also beenassociated with a decreased incidence of endometrial(子宫内膜的) cancer-that is, cancer of the cells liningthe uterus-the strongest effect appears to be in overweight women, who are atgrea-test risk for the disease. Researchers believe blood sugar, fat cells, andestrogen (雌性激素) may play a role. Although the mechanism remains unknown, people whodrink more than two cups of coffee or tea a day reportedly have about half therisk of developing chronic liver disease as those who drink less than one cupof coffee daily; caffeinated coffee has also been associated with lowered riskof cirrhosis(肝硬化) and liver cancer.
While many of caffeine'sundesirable effects', such as elevated heart rate and blood pressure, arebrief, some short-term benefits, including pain relief, increased alertness,and increased physical en-durance, have also been attributed to caffeine. As acomponent of numerous over-the-counter diet pills and pain relievers, caffeineincreases their effectiveness and helps the body absorb them more quickly.Byconstricting (收缩) blood vessels in thebrain, it can alleviate headaches-evenmigraines (偏头痛)-and can helpcounter the drowsiness (眩晕) caused by antihistamines c抗组胺药).
Caffeine does not alter theneed for sleep, but it does offer a temporary solution to fatigue for peo-plewho need to stay alert. Research has shown that sleep-deprived individuals whoconsumed caffeine had improved memory and reasoning abilities, at least in theshort term. Studies of runners and cyclists have shown that caffeine canimprove their stamina-hence its addition to energy-boosting sports drinks.
People who consume a lot ofcaffeine regularly may develop temporary withdrawal symptoms,headache being themost common, if they quit or cut back on it abruptly. Fortunately, thesesymptoms last only a day or two in most cases. Individuals who are moresensitive to the stimulatory side effects of caffeine may want to avoid it, butmost doctors agree 'that the equivalent of three cups of coffee a day does notharm healthy people. There is no medical basis to give up daily caffeine andmany reasons to include a moderate amount in one's diet.

未知题型 On the Trial of the Honey Badger On a recent field trip to theKalahari Desert, a team of researchers learn a lot more about honey badgers(獾). The team employeda local wildlife expert, Kitso Khama, to help them locate and follow thebadgers across the desert. Their main aim was to study the badgers movementsand behavior. as discreetly(谨慎地) as possible, without frightening them away or causing them to changetheir natu-ral behavior. They also planned to trap a few and study them closeup before releasing them. In view of the animals reputation, this wassomething that even Khama was reluctant to do. "The problem with honeybadgers is they are naturally curious animals, especially when they seesomething new," he says. "That, combined with their unpredictablenature, can be a dangerous mix-ture. If they sense you have food, for example,they wont be shy about coming right up to you for something to eat. Theyreactually quite sociable creatures around humans, but as soon as they feel theymight be in danger, they can becomeextremely vicious(凶恶的). Fortunately this is rare, butit does happen. " The research confirmed manythings that were already known. As expected, honey badgers ate any crea-turesthey could catch and kill. Even poisonous snakes, feared and avoided by mostother animals, were not safe from them The researchers were surprised, however,by the animals fondness for local melons, probably because of their high watercontent. Preciously researchers thought that the animal got all of its liquidrequire-ments from its prey(猎物). The team also learnt that, contrary to previous research findings, thebadgers oc-casionally formed loose family groups. They were also able toconfirm certain results from previous research,including the fact that femalebadgers never socialized with each other. Following some of the malebadgers was a challenge, since they can cover large distances in a short spaceof time. Some hunting territories cover more than 500 square kilometers.Although, they seem happy to share these territories with other males, thereare occasional fights over an important food source, and male badgers can be asaggressive towards each other as they are towards other spe-cies. As the badgers becameaccustomed to the presence of people, it gave the team the chance to get upclose to them without being the subject of the animals curiosity-or sudden aggression.The badgers eating patterns, which had been disrupted returned, to normal. Italso allowed the team to observe more closely some of the other creatures thatform. working associations with the honey badg-er, as these seemed to adopt thebadgers relaxed attitude when near humans. Why did the wildlife experts visit the Kalahari Desert?A.To find where honey badgers liveB.To observe how honey badgers behaveC.To catch some honey badgers for foodD.To find out why honey badgers have a bad reputation
