An apple a day keeps the doctor away. Well, milk may work in the same way!
Milk is the natural food for mammalian(哺乳动物的) babies. It helps them grow strong because it is rich in proteins(蛋白质), calcium(钙)and vitamins(维生素).
“Mum asked me to drink milk when I was eight because she thought it would help me grow tall and strong,” said 15-year-old Fu Xiao from Xi’an. “I didn’t know how fast I was growing until I found I was the second tallest girl in my class.”
Do you know how tall the Junior 3 student is? 169 cm!
Milk can also help you sleep better because it calms you down.
But remember to drink milk with care. Make sure it’s fresh and hasn’t gone bad.
Don’t drink milk when your stomach is empty. Eat some bread or corn at the same time. This will help you take in more proteins and vitamins.
Doctors say teens need at least 500 ml milk a day. That’s two to three cups.
Milk-drinking started long ago, as early as 6,000-8,000 BC. At that time people started to keep cows, sheep and goats to get their milk.
Of course what you drink today isn’t that fresh from cow.
People cool the fresh milk down to four degrees Celsius(摄氏的) to stop the bacteria(细菌) growing. In factories, milk is pasteurized(灭菌) to stop it going bad. After disinfection(消毒) and packaging, it is sent to the supermarkets.
Yogurt(酸奶) also comes from milk.
People make some special bacteria to change the taste of milk and make the nutrients(营养物) in it easier for people to take in. Maybe that’s why it’s getting more popular with people!

Look at the light and beautiful snowflakes(雪花) falling. Do you want to hold them in your hands? They are always lost when they meet your hands.
Well, this isn’t just a problem for you. It was a problem for Wilson Bentley, too.
In the 1870s, Wilson Bentley was just a teenager. His family lived in a small town in northeast America. Winters there were long and hard. Bentley’s mother was once a schoolteacher. She taught him at home. Bentley didn’t go to school until he was 14. He was a quiet boy, and loved reading his mother’s books.
But it was his mother’s microscope(显微镜) that interested him. When the other boys were playing with balls, little Bentley was studying the things like drops of water, flowers and snowflakes. Bentley loved watching snowflakes. For the next two years, young Bentley spent many winter days in a cold room watching these ice crystals(晶体) through the microscope.
The boy thought they were so beautiful that he started to draw pictures of them. But there were so many snowflakes that he couldn’t draw them all.
How could he keep their beauty forever? Bentley thought of buying a camera.
The boy and his mother asked his father to buy one. But his father didn’t agree. He thought the whole thing was a bad idea. He thought the only thing a farmer should do was farming.
But finally Bentley did get a camera. For more than a year he tried to take pictures of snowflakes. On January 15, 1885, during a snowstorm, Bentley took the first ever photo of an ice crystal with his camera. “It was the greatest moment of my life,” Bentley said later.
For 13 years, Bentley worked quietly and took thousands of photos of ice crystals. Later he became known as “Snowflake” Bentley.
