  Turns out,you're not just what you eat—you're also where you eat.

  Researchers found out that people had double the number of calories(卡路里)when standing in a messy kitchen compared to when they stood in an orderly one.

    The researchers had 98 women spend to minutes in kitchens,under the guise of (以……为幌子)asking them to wait for someone.Half of the women stood in a messy kitchen,with piles of newspapers,dirty dishes and a ringing phone.The other half of the women waited in a clean kitchen.

    Both kitchens had bowls of biscuits and carrots.Each woman in the messy kitchen ate twice as many cookies compared to those in the clean kitchen.

    Why did this happen?

    “Being in a messy environment and feeling out of control is bad for diets,''Lenny Vartanian,one of the researchers,said.“It seems to lead people to think,‘Everything else is out of control,so why shouldn't I be?'''

    The study's size was small,but the findings prove something we know all too well:Stress(压力)is bad for you.Stress often causes people to overeat.Beyond weight gain,too much stress can also increase a person's heart rate,and lead to painful conditions like headaches.

    While there are many ways to manage stress.including listening to music and exercising,this study shows that there are easy and quick things you can do to find calm.The next time you don't want to tidy up the kitchen,remember that the exercise will help you a lot in so many ways.

Dreams are expressions of thoughts, feelings and events that pass through our mind while we are sleeping. Everybody dreams. But only some people remember their dreams. Our dreams often include all the senses—smells, sounds, sights, tastes and things we touch. We dream in colour. Sometimes we dream the same dream over and over again. These repeated dreams are often unpleasant. They may even be nightmares—bad dreams that frighten us.
Early in the twentieth century, two famous scientists developed their personal ideas about dreams. Austrian psychiatrist Sigmund Freud published a book called “The Interpretation(诠释) of Dreams” in 1900. Freud believed people often dream about things they want but can't have. These dreams often have something to do with sex and aggression(侵犯). Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung worked closely with Freud for several years, but he believed dreams could help people grow and understand themselves. He believed dreams provide solutions(解答) to problems we face when we are awake. He didn't believe dreams hide our feelings about sex or aggression. Today we know more about the science of dreaming because researchers can take pictures of people's brains while they are sleeping.
Other researchers are studying how dreaming helps our bodies work with problems and very sad emotions(感情). Robert Stickgold is a professor of psychiatry at Harvard University in Massachusetts. Doctor Stickgold says that when we dream, the brain is trying to make sense of the world. He does not agree with Sigmund Freud that dreaming is the way we express our hidden feelings and desires(愿望).
Scientists believe it is important to keep researching dreams. Doctor Stickgold says it has been more than one hundred years since Sigmund Freud published his important book about dreaming. Yet there is still no agreement on exactly how the brain works when we are dreaming or why we dream.
