By now, most people know they should be eating more vegetables. But are there ways to get more from the vegetables you already eat? A research shows that when it comes to vegetables, it's not only how much we eat, but also how we prepare them, that decides the vitamins and other nutrients that enter our body.

Many studies show that people who eat lots of vegetables have less heart disease, and eye problems and even cancer. But raw vegetables are not always best. The researchers found that 198 Germans who eat raw food were short of lycopene, the matter found in tomatoes and other red vegetables. "There is an idea that raw foods are always going to be better," says Steven K. Clinton, a professor at Ohio State University. "For fruits and vegetables, sometimes a little bit of cooking can be helpful."

A number of factors decide how the vegetables do good to people's health before they reach the table, including where and how they were grown and stored before being bought. No single cooking way is best. Some nutrients are easily lost in cooking if they are cooked in different ways.

Vitamins C and B are often lost. In January, another report said that boiling was better for carrots than frying or serving them raw. Frying was the worst way to cook.

What cooked with the vegetables can also be important? When the vegetables were cooked with fat, the diners can get more nutrients. Fat can also make the taste of vegetables better, meaning that people will eat more of them. Putting on some other things that make it taste better—a little salt—can make the food taste better.

Are you looking for a great day camp program for your little ones this summer? Here we have rounded up some of the best summer camps close to New York.

Atletico de Madrid

This camp once worked with Arsenal Football Club. It offers boys and girls aged 5-16 chances to train with one of the world's most successful soccer colleges. Two players from the camp will be chosen by coaches to play a game in Madrid in October. This year, this camp will be running for two weeks.

Abrons Art Center

The Abrons Art Center offers learning experiences in dance, music and theater to campers aged 5-13. Campers will take part in an exchange with professional artists and arts workers, who will explain the artistic process. Extended (延长的) day class provide more opportunities for arts learning.

A Montessori Summer

A Montessri Summer is for children aged3.5-14. Each week, the program provides the students with a day trip away from school. Usually children can enjoy the trips to beaches, parks and wildlife preserves (保护区) and they also go mountain-climbing. Certainly, these activities make students life more colorful.

92Y

The 92Y offers all kinds of experiences to every camper, from their outdoor day camps in beautiful Rockland County (suitable for kids from 5-13 years of age) to their Preschool Day Camp for kids from 3-5 years of age. They also include more camps in the city for kids aged 3-18. From sports to language learning to adventure camps, every kid can pick whatever they like.

Football T-shirts are more commonly connected with boys than girls. This can often cause a problem when you want to find a cool shirt for a girl. That is not to say that there are no cool shirts out there for girls to wear. The problem is that they are often harder to find than the ones for boys.

You can get custom (订制的) shirt printed for girls from a number of custom print stores. Of course you have to make sure that they are legally allowed to use the logos (商标) and colours of the team you want to support.

You can also go through official channels to get the shirt you want. The official channels will generally be the large sportswear stores or the official stores of the teams. These stores will be able to use the colours of the teams and even put the name of the person who the shirt is for on it.

If you do not feel like you have to try the T-shirts on, then an online store may be your best choice. The reason for this is that you can visit various stores and find the best ones.

If you want to see what the T-shirt looks like in real life, then going to a store is the best choice. Large sportswear stores often have football shirts. These are the best places to go if you do not live close to an official store. And these stores usually have lower prices than the official stores.

Tips for Upcoming Senior Two

The upper class men often describe Senior Two as a year with "much more homework, more frequent exams and more fierce competitions".  

●Manage your time carefully and make the most of it.

Try to study not only hard but efficiently. Make a to-do-list for your time after school. Don't just spend quite a long time on only one subject, especially a science subject.  Remember to take breaks when you feel exhausted.

●Treat competition in class in a right way.

Competition cannot be avoided, but everyone wants to study and live in a friendly environment. Don't treat your classmates as potential enemies.  By helping others solve problems, you inspire others, consolidate your own knowledge and gain lasting friendship.

●

Don't let your former rankings limit you. What really matters is how you treat exams and rankings. Forget the class or grade rankings, but compete with yourself. In a while, you will see yourself climbing in scores and rankings.

All in all, the coming new school year is sure to be full of challenges. Too much worry only adds to your difficulties in your development.  Wish you the best of luck in the new school year!

A. Treat yourself as the rival (对手).

B. Have a right attitude towards your rankings.

C. However, rearrange your time table is of great importance.

D. Instead, divide the hours into small periods for different subjects.

E. So when they turn to you for help, just share your wisdom generously.

F. If you keep my advice in mind, you will achieve a lot and lead a happy life.

G. When you prepare for the upcoming challenges, some advice from me may be helpful.

My grandpa was not tall. But to me, a five-year-old child, he was a giant. We would sit side by side, watching the sun go down behind the gas station across the busy street, a street that I was never 1to cross  2 accompanied(陪伴) by an adult.

One day we sat 3 the traffic, counting cars and trying to guess the color of the next one to turn the corner.

Suddenly Grandpa asked, "4?"

"Yes," was my reply. "How would you like to run over to the gas station there and get 5 a bottle of Coke?"

I couldn't believe my 6. Had I heard right? Was he talking to me? On my family's modest (卑微的) income, Coke was not a part of our diet. A few sips(小口抿) was all I had ever had, and certainly never my own bottle.   

I replied shyly, "Okay," already wondering how I would get across the 7. I thought Grandpa was going to go with me.8, after he gave me a dime(硬币), he said to me, "Okay, I'm going to stay 9 and tell you when it's safe to cross. You go over to the Coke machine, get your Coke and walk back. 10 me to tell you when it's safe to cross back."

I was very both excited and nervous when Grandpa 11 my hand tightly. Together we looked 12the street and down, and up again. When he told me it was safe to cross, he 13 my hand and I ran. I ran faster than I had ever run before. The street seemed 14. I wondered if I would 15 it to the other side. Reaching the other side, I 16to find Grandpa still standing exactly where I had left him,17 proudly.

……

Coke in hand, I proudly marched back out into the early evening dusk, seeing Grandpa was waiting 18.

"Stop right there!" he yelled (喊). One or two cars sped by me, and once again, Grandpa yelled, "Come on now, run!" At last I crossed the street safely. "Don't ever do that 19," he warned.

One long swallow(吞，咽) of the cold Coke cooled my sweating body. I20 felt so proud.
