Each weekday, more than 30 million students in Canada eat meals in school cafeterias. And when lunch is over, they fill the rubbish cans with uneaten food.
More than $1 billion worth of food is wasted every year. Wasted food is wasted money.It's also a missed chance to feed hungry people.And it's had for the environment:farming, packing, and transporting food produces greenhouse﹣gas emissions(温室气体排放). They pollute the air.
Schools have developed ways to cut back on(减少) waste. Making lunch period longer helps. It gives kids time to eat everything on their plates. Many schools follow government rules that say students must take a certain number of healthy things at mealtime. Those rules help kids get a better meal. But they can lead to more waste. That's why schools in Canada set up something called share tables.Students put untouched food on the table. A student who wants the food can take it. There are rules to make sure the food is safe. Food that isn't taken from the table is served another day.
Students also waste food because they don't like how it tastes. Cook Sam wants to change that. He works with a program called Cooks in Schools. He helps dining hall workers develop dishes kids enjoy.
You can fight food waste too. At the store, look for "ugly" produce.Fruits and vegetables with bad shapes are still delicious, but they are often not noticed. At home, read safety labels(标签). If a label says "best before", the food is still safe to eat for a little while after the date. If the label says "use by", the food is no longer safe after the date.

A warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good night′s sleep. But now a study has found it really does help people nod off﹣ if it is milked from a cow at night.
Researchers have discovered that" night milk" has more melatonin(褪黑激素),which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and less worried.
In the study, mice were fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night by researchers from Seoul, South Korea.
Those given night milk, which had 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less worried than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.
Night milk quicken the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.
While the effect of milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin medicine has been suggested to those who are trying to fall asleep at night.
Studies have also showed that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because there is calcium(钙)in it, which helps people to relax.
Milk is also sugar﹣free because it is the least fattening. The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will have on your body at night.

Suddenly, an old man appeared and said,"Oh, my son, your heart is not as beautiful as mine."
The old man showed his heart to the young man. It was beating strongly, but full of scars. It had places where pieces had been removed and other pieces put in. But they didn' t fit quite right, and there were gaps and rough(崎岖不平的) edges. Some places had never been filled in.
The young man laughed,"My dear old man,_______ Comparing your heart with mine, mine is perfect and yours is full of scars."
The old man said, "Dear boy, my heart is just as beautiful as your heart. You see each scar shows where I have given my love. Sometimes people give me a piece of their heart back, and it fills the space as best it can. Other times, I give my love and get nothing in return. Those are the empty spaces. They hurt, but they show me that I can love and love again."
The young man stood still. His eyes were filled with tears. He walked up to the old man, tore a piece of his heart and gave the piece to the old man.

A new study finds that more than eighty percent of Internet users in the United States search for health information online.
Susannah Fox from the Pew Internet Project says doctors are still the main source of health information. But the study found that searching online is one of the leading ways that people look for a second opinion. He says, "People are sort of fact﹣checking what they have heard from a doctor. Our studies show that people are still very likely to turn to a health doctor when they need a diagnosis(诊断)or are planning a treatment. "
Forty percent of people are actually looking for doctors or other providers when they search for health information online. Two thirds of Internet users look online for information about a certain disease or medical condition.
The Internet has also become an important source of spiritual support for people with health problems. Susannah Fox says one in five Internet users has gone online to find other people who have the same condition.
A disease is considered uncommon if it affects(侵袭)fewer than 200, 000 people worldwide. The rise of social networking has made it easier for people with uncommon diseases to connect with each other and feel less alone. Social networking is also changing the way some doctors and patients communicate with each other.
Dr Jeff Livingston operates a medical centre for women in Irving, Texas. His office uses password﹣protected software to share information with patients. He says the software has increased efficiency (效率 ), reduced costs and improved relations with patients. It has just changed the way we do health care. His medical centre also has a Facebook page, a MySpace page and a Twitter feed.
