Dear Dr．Science，
I couldn't sleep at all last night．My sister says it was because I ate a bowl of really spicy chili （辣的辣椒） right before bedtime，but I think that's impossible．Can spicy foods at bedtime really have an influence on one's sleep？
-Sleepless
Dear Sleepless，
I know your feeling because I often eat spicy chili before lights out．I've also experienced sleep problems after eating a lot of spicy foods．What does science say ？
Researchers in Australia did an experiment to find out the effects of spicy foods on how we seep．They wanted to try to know the influence of spicy foods on the length or quality of sleep．They gave a group of people delicious late-night meals．Some nights，they got spicy meals．Other nights，their meals were mild （清淡的）．It turns out that your sister is on to something．When the people taking part in the experiment ate spicy foods，their sleep patterns （模式） were changed．They took longer to fall asleep and they slept less too．This was the kind of information the researchers were looking for to build a link between eating spicy foods and possible sleep problems．
Researchers aren't sure exactly how spicy food：change seep patterns，but they have some ideas on the subject．People's sleep could be influenced because of stomachache caused by eating spicy foods．Also，they could be taking too long to fall asleep because of taking too long to dig （消化） the spicy foods．But they also guess that body temperature plays a role．Spicy foods include something that can raise the body's temperature．Other studies have connected increased body temperature with poor sleep．So before you go to bed，leave the chilies alone and sleep well．

  • 1．Born in 1928 in Nanjing，Jiangsu，Yu Guangzhong，who spent his younger days on the Chinese mainland before moving to Taiwan in his 20s，passed away on Dec 14，2017．Nostalgia （《鄉(xiāng)愁》）-which Yu wrote in his 40s to voice his homesickness for his childhood motherland-became his most well-known work，since it resonated （共鳴）with many people who were far away from home．The poem appeared in Chinese school textbooks and was adapted into songs．
       However，the fact that Nostalgia became so famous also disturbed Yu because among the over l，000 poems that he'd written，Nostalgia seemed to be the only one that the public ever talked about and appreciated．
       "I'd like to think of Nostalgia as my business card，but unfortunately it got too big that it kept people from seeing the real me，" Yu once said，according to China Youth Daily．
       Indeed，writing poems is only one of Yu's many talents．Great Chinese writer Liang Shiqiu（1903-1987）once spoke of Yu， "He writes poems with his right hand and prose （散文） with his left．There is hardly anyone who matches his achievements at the time．"
       Yu was also a translator．Yu spoke French，German，Spanish，Italian and Russian，and published 13 translation collections．
       And he used his talents well．He spent his whole life working，even in his 80s．Yu said that whenever people asked whether he still kept the habit of writing up，he would always answer， "Why don't you ask me if I'm still breathing？"
       To him，writing was an inseparable （不可分割的） part of life that shouldn't be affected by age or anything else．
       Now that Yu has taken his last breath，his writing career has finally been put to rest．But the many books he wrote and translated will continue to carry the nostalgia people have for him．

    （1）How old was Yu Guangzhong when he died？

    A．86．
    B．87．
    C．88．
    D．89．
    （2）How did Liang Shiqiu like Yu Guangzhong？

    A．He spoke hardly of Yu Guangzhong．
    B．He thought highly of Yu Guangzhong．
    C．He was indifferent to Yu Guangzhong．
    D．He was very friendly to Yu Guangzhong
    （3）Which of the following does not describe Yu Guangzhong？

    A．A poet．
    B．A writer．
    C．A thinker．
    D．A translator
    （4）What can we infer from the last three paragraphs？

    A．Nostalgia is important for him in his life．
    B．Writing is as important as translation．
    C．Writing is the most important part in his life．
    D．His talents are the most important in his writing．
