And sure enough, that summer she signed with a modeling agency. She was already doing runway work.One day, Hannah and I went to the movies. On the way home, we stopped at the McDonalds drive-through, putting the fries on the seat between us to share. “Lets ride around a while,” I said. It was a clear night, moonlight shone over the desert. Taking a turn too fast, I hit a patch of dirt and fishtailed.French fries on the floor. An impossible amount of blood on Hannahs face. They took us in separate ambulances. In the ER, my parents spoke quietly: Best plastic surgeon in the city. End of her modeling career.Wed been wearing lap belts, but the car didnt have shoulder belts. Id broken my cheekbone; Hannahs forehead had split wide open. What would I say to her?When her mother, Sharon, came into my hospital room, I started to cry, preparing myself for her anger. She sat beside me and took my hand. “I drove into the back of the car of my best friend when I was your age,” she said, “I destroyed her car and mine.”“Im so sorry,” I said.“Youre both alive,” she said, “The rest is window dressing.” I started to explain, and Sharon stopped me. “I forgive you.

Its then that you might want to eat something sweet, perhaps a Coke or a chocolate bar to lift your mood. After all, its popularly believed that a “sugar rush” gives us energy.But a study published in Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews in April suggests that sugar can make us feel worse rather than boost our moods. The German and UK researchers collected data from 31 studies involving nearly 1,300 adults. They studied the effect of sugar on various aspects of mood, including anger, alertness (警惕性), depression and tiredness. They found that people who have too much sugar become more tired and less alert within an hour, and that these feelings become more intense (强烈的) over time. According to the researchers, when people take in sugar, their blood sugar levels rise rapidly, leading to a burst of energy and a short “feel good” period. However, as they begin to digest (消耗) the sugar, their blood sugar levels decrease quickly, leading to a bad feeling. To remain on a “high”, people are likely to eat more and more sugar until they become addicted to it. As with caffeine, this prevents the body from relaxing, leaving people feeling tired and less alert.But the study findings neednt make us think we must give up sweet food altogether. According to the World Health Organization, it is healthy to have the sugars found naturally in fruit, vegetables and milk, so long as these make up less than 5 percent of daily total energy intake.So the next time you feel tired and cant concentrate, perhaps you should think twice before you bite into a chocolate bar. Maybe a spot of exercise at midday would be a better idea!
