How time flies! Three years of junior high school has gone by before we know it.

Many of us in China enjoy adding chilies to our food, but did you know that this spicy (辣 的) vegetable could also be dangerous? A 34-year-old US man recently ended up in hospital after

eating a Carolina Reaper, the spiciest chili people have known so far. After taking just a single bite of one, the man suffered from serious headaches in the following days, reported BBC News.

In fact, eating spicy food causes stomachache and headache. 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 by natural chemicals that produce “a sense of happiness”, noted BBC News.

And chilies do good to people in another way. Scientists found that the death rate of those who eat spicy food once or twice a week is 10 percent lower than those who eat it less than once a week. The death rate is 14 percent 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 at an early age. So, don’t worry if you love spicy food. It seems that chilies are actually good for us.

Once, when the food we ordered at a restaurant arrived, the first thing we wanted to do was to eat right away.【1】 Others want to take at least five photos of their food to share on social media, such as Wechat.

【2】 “Foodtography” has been around for longer than one would expect. Take US

photographer Irving Penn (1917-2009) for example. In 1947, Vogue magazine published many food photos taken by Penn. Looking at the carefully put salad ingredients or the cakes on stands(货 架), it would be easy to think Penn’s 70-year-old photos were taken just last week.

Besides Penn’s efforts, it seems that social media is behind the recent rise of foodtography.

【3】And the star posts just one delicious-looking food picture with the place where it was taken. It can bring hundreds of new customers for the restaurant.

So while it’s fun to share pictures of delicious dishes with your friends, just remember the most important thing: 【4】

B. But now, some people just want to eat their meal.

C. Today, a social media star may have thousands of fans.
