They were twins and were almost exactly alike in every way. They had both been sentenced to death (判处死刑). The King decided to let them live if one of the men agreed to drink several cups of tea each day and the other several cups of coffee.
Both brothers lived many years without problems of any kind. At last, the brother who had drunk tea every day died at the age of 83, the other died a few years later.

If you go to a fast food restaurant, you will probably see a lot of teenagers(青少年). Today, many teenagers are overweight, and some of this is because of their bad eating habits. Most teenagers love food with a lot of fat, oil, salt, and sugar. People often call this kind of food“junk food”.
But bad eating habits go beyond fast food. We find many teenagers eat unhealthily. Some don’t have breakfast before they go to school. During the day, some don’t have a proper meal for lunch. In a recent survey(调查) at one school, scientists found that over two?thirds of the students didn’t follow a healthy diet(饮食) . They didn’t like vegetables , and many of them didn’t like to eat fruits. They preferred to eat food with a lot of salt, sugar, or fat.
Parents today also worry a bout their children’s diet. Some doctors give the following advice:
★ Teenagers shouldn’t eat too much junk food.
★ Teenagers need to eat some fruits and vegetables every day.
★ Teenagers need to eat breakfast every day. This is good for their body and mind.
