    What can be both red or green, round or sharp, big or small, and more importantly, loved or hated by someone? Yes, the answer is chilies(辣椒).

    Many of us in China enjoy putting chilies to our food, but did you know that this spicy vegetable could also be dangerous? A 34-year-old US man ended up in hospital after eating a Carolina Reaper, the spiciest chili people have ever known so far. After taking just a small part of the chili, the man had a serious headache in the following days, reported BBC News.

    In fact, eating spicy food causes stomachaches and headaches. But if chilies are harmful, why do people like to eat this vegetable? So what makes people love chilies so much? The human body is influenced(影响) by something natural that produce "a sense of happiness", noted BBC News.

    And chilies are good for people in another way. Scientists found that the death rate(死亡率)of those who eat spicy food once or twice a week is 10 % lower than those who eat it less than once a week. The death rate is 14 % lower for those who eat spicy food six to seven times a week .This encourages people to eat more spicy food to improve health and bring less death risk(风险) at an early age. So don't worry if you love spicy food. It seems that chilies are actually good for us.

Dorothy lived with her uncle Henry and aunt Em who were both farmers.Their house had only four walls,a floor and a small space under the floor to protect them from powerful winds.The house was in the middle of poor land with strong sunlight and few plants.Aunt Em used to be young and cheerful,but the sun and wind had taken away her happiness.Uncle Henry also looked serious and strict.Only Toto,could bring laughter into Dorothy's life.

One day,they heard low sounds of wind from both the north and the south.Uncle Henry realized a strong wind was coming.He rushed to protect the animals while Aunt Em hurried Dorothy to the basement.Suddenly,the house began to rock and rise to the air.In the center,but Dorothy found herself riding safely on the rising house.

Frightened,Toto ran around the room until Dorothy caught him and protected him from falling through the open door.She closed it carefully to avoid further danger.As hours passed,Dorothy slowly got over her fear.She finally fell asleep on her bed with Toto by her side.The wind had set Dorothy's house down gently in a beautiful country.

As she looked around, she saw green grass, fruitful trees, and colourful flowers.Birds with special feathers sang and flew around.As she stood enjoying the beautiful views, a group of strangely dressed people came near. They wore round hats that rose to a small point a foot above their heads. Three men were dressed in blue, and a little woman wore a white dress. They stopped and discussed in a low voice, as if afraid to come farther.
