原创外刊改编语法填空题打卡Day 25 What Happens to My Body When I Eat Spicy Food? From : The New York Times Eating spicy food can produce a variety of physiological reactions, like a tingling in the tongue and lips, as well as sweating, said David Julius, a physiologist at the University of California, San Francisco. “We all enjoy sensory experiences; spicy foods make life more interesting,” he said. _____1_____ not all of the potential responses are welcome, even for those who enjoy the taste. Spicy food lovers are likely to be familiar with one immediate physical reaction — sweating. That’s because some of the spiciest foods contain compounds that bind to nerve receptors along the gastrointestinal tract that _____2_____ (activate) by heat. Chiles, the flavorful backbone of many spicy dishes, contain the compound capsaicin, which binds to those receptors when _____3_____(eat) and then sends a pain signal to the brain, as Dr. Julius discovered in his Nobel Prize-winning work on the topic. The main _____4_____ (chemical) found in peppercorns, horseradish and mustard also bind to the same receptors, albeit less potently. These nerves send similar signals to the brain as they would if you came into contact with actual fire, which is _____5_____ you might start sweating or become flushed; that’s the body’s way of cooling _____6_____ (it) down. Eating spicy food in moderation is generally safe for people who don’t already have stomach issues. However, it can cause inflammation to the areas that aid _____7_____ (digest) and can sometimes lead to heartburn, stomachaches or diarrhea. People with gastritis, which occurs when the lining of the stomach is inflamed, may be especially susceptible to increased abdominal pain. Studies have shown that _____8_____ (consume) spicy foods can be associated with some health benefits. For example, one study found that taking a daily supplement of capsaicin (containing the same amount in four or five habanero peppers) sped up metabolism, where participants burned _____9_____ equivalent of an extra 200 calories per day over a 14-week period. And in a 2022 study involving more than 6,000 adults, scientists found that chile intake was linked with a reduction in calcium buildup in the walls of the coronary arteries, which supply blood _____10_____ the heart. It’s unclear, however, whether eating spicy foods regularly can reduce the likelihood of obesity or heart attacks in the long term.

Nor are they limited to offering a savoury snack or sweet treat. Instead they have quietly transformed into hi-tech cashless devices selling everything ______1______ you could possibly need on the move, from false eyelashes to milk, and now books. The publisher Penguin Random House is showcasing a book vending machine at Exeter St Davids railway station in Devon. The titles available include Taste, by Stanley Tucci, but ______2______ is sold will change on a regular ______3______ (base), sometimes to reflect key moments throughout the year such as Black History Month. David Llewellyn, chief executive of the Automatic vending Association, says there has been a rise in machines offering personal protective equipment for workers, as well as a growth in “micro-markets”. “These are small retail units that sit within an office block offering fresh food, snacksand confectionery,” he says. “It’s like a small unattended retail corner, using things like smart fridges that can read what ______4______ (take) out of them. You can buy a whole meal.” Llewellyn thinks micro-markets have arisen because of different working patterns, with more people at home. “There are less people consistently on sites now so not huge demand for canteens .” Book vending machines are not ______5______(whole) new. The first Penguin book vending machine was in Charing Cross Road, London, in 1937, and the books cost six pence each. In 2019, short-story vending machines arrived in Canary Wharf, dispensing one-, three- and five-minute stories free to passersby. Llewellyn says the vending market had a £2.2bn annual turnover before the pandemic but lost about 40% ______6______ lockdowns forced people out of the offices, transport hubs and leisure spaces where they are most commonly found. Sales are expected to return to pre- Covid levels this year. In 2018, Neil Stephen, from Inverurie, Aberdeenshire, introduced self-service machines dispensing farmhouse produce. The idea was inspired by his grandfather who, in the late 1970s, used to leave a wheelbarrow filled with turnips and other vegetables at the gates. “We introduced it at the right time, just before Covid, because our business skyrocketed,” he says. Pizza is another product that has emerged as a top seller, with machines ______7______ (serve) it popping up from Hampshire to Bristol. Even Italy got in on the act with its own device, close to Piazza Bologna in Rome: Mr Go Pizza offers up four varieties costing between €4.50 (£3.95) and €6 .The public health sphere is also benefiting from vending devices. In Glasgow, in 2021, health officials set up a dispenser of sterilised needles to curb infections among drug users.

Japan is home ______8______ the most unusual vending operations, offering everything from umbrellas to fancy dress. ______9______(recent) addition, in the northern prefecture of Akita, sells fresh bear meat. The last formal count, ______10______ (conduct) by a trade body in December 2020, found there were 2.7m vending machines in Japan – one for every 46 citizens. Llewellyn says the UK is following Japan down the route of offering more fresh food in vending, although it is unlikely we will ever reach the sheer number of machines in that country.“There is a huge array of machines in Japan but they have a lot of public vending, which would not stand our climate or our social responsibility to other people’s equipment.
