Reading
В You are going to read about some common beliefs. Skim the article and match a paragraph to each common belief in A.
C Read the article a little more carefully. Are the common beliefs in A right or wrong?
Is there any truth to old wivestask tales?
1
Like most people, I grew up believing the more chocolate I ate, the more spots I would get. But now we are told that, in fact, there is no evidence that has been able to link it to skin problems. I wish Itaskd known that then! Research hasntaskt found any ingredients in chocolate that can either trigger acne 1) or make existing acne worse. Acne is thought to be associated with the bodytasks reaction to hormones rather than to what we eat.

What about reading in poor light or sitting too dose to the TV? What does it do to your sight? Nothing, apparently. These activities may strain or tire your eyes, 2) but permanently damage them they will not. In fact, you cantaskt harm your eyes by using them, unless you stare into the sun. With the size of most TV sets today, you wontaskt be able to see the set properly if you sit too close to it anyway.

Watch out MP3 users, this one is true. It is especially the case for music heard loudly through earphones. So, either keep the sound down low, 3) or stop using earphones. The maximum volume of most MP3 players is around 120 decibels, which, Itaskm told, is about the level of a jet aeroplane taking off! In France, theytaskre taking this very seriously. The government has set a limit of 100 decibels in MP3 players, and companies have had to make adjustments.

Funnily enough, this is a myth almost everyone believes. But scans have shown that we do in fact use 100 per cent of our brain! Each thing we do when wetaskre awake (and even when wetaskre asleep) uses a different part of the brain. So, in the course of a day, all of it is used. But even if we were to look at it from an evolutionary point of view, 4) it is unlikely that larger brains would have developed if they werentaskt necessary.

Surprising as it may seem, it is true: eating apples every day can keep the doctor away. Apart from all the useful fibre it contains, this common fruit lowers the risk of getting certain types of cancer. Apples contain large amounts of phenols, 5) which work as strong antioxidants and protect cells from damage. As we all know, there is plenty of evidence to suggest that antioxidants not only keep us looking young, but also protect us from disease.
6
Carrots contain high levels of a compound known as beta-carotene. It is what gives the vegetable its colour. It is also this substance, together with other essential vitamins, 6) that can improve eyesight in later years. So, it is true that eating carrots does your eyes a lot of good, but can it help us see in the dark? The answer to this question is no. it cantaskt. Nothing you eat or drink can do that, if you want to see in the dark, you will need to get yourself a pair of night vision glasses!

This one is true, but you probably already knew that. The question is why. Warm milk contains an amino acid called tryptophan. Your body changes this into melatonin and serotonin, both of which cause a feeling of sleepiness. So, for those who have problems sleeping, a glass of warm milk before going to bed should ensure 7) that you fall asleep as soon as your head hits the pillow.
