Food is life; it gives us the nourishment (营养) we need to stay alive and be healthy．Usually, we eat because we are hungry or need energy．Brain Wansink, a professor at the University of Illinois, says we also eat certain foods because they make us feel good, and remind us of happy memories．Wansink calls this kind of food comfort (安慰) food．For some people, ice cream is a comfort food．For others, a bowl of noodles makes them feel good．

How does a food become comfort food? Professor Wansink believes that we connect (联系) food with important times, feelings and people in our lives, “When I was a child, my mother made a delicious soup．I love it．Now, I often eat this soup when I am tired or worried, and it helps me feel better,” says one of  Wansink’s friends．

Do men and women choose different comfort foods? Wansink’s research at the University of Illinois says “yes”．In his study, the favorite comfort food for both men, and women was ice cream．After this, men usually preferred hot, delicious foods like soup or noodles．Women liked sweet things such as chocolate and candy．Men and women like to eat comfort foods when they are happy, but women eat these foods more when they are sad and worried．

Grown-ups are always telling kids what to do．Do you listen to them? Usually, they know what is best for you, but sometimes can be wrong．So, China has a special law to keep people under 18 safe．It is called the Underage Protection Law(《未成年人保护法》)．

Teachers can punish(惩罚)students, but they can not just do anything they like．If a   teacher tries to get you out of class, you can go to the headmaster and tell him you have the right to stay in class．

School buildings and playgrounds must also be safe for children．If the things you use in P．E．class are unsafe, the school must fix them or get new ones, according to the Underage Protection Law．

Do you know anyone who can’t go to school because their parents aren’t willing to pay for it? This is also against the law, which says parents must pay for their kids’ education．

Kids have a right to privacy(隐私)under the law, which says parents and teachers can’t read children’s own letters．

The law also protects children’s health．It says there should be no smoking in schools and   other places where many teenagers go．

Have you ever wondered(想知道)why tickets for parks and museums are cheaper for  students? It’s also because of the Underage Protection Law．It says that kids need to have lots of  chances to learn．
