Here are some facts．

For centuries，people have believed that chicken soup helps to fight a cold．Now，doctors say it may be true．They think that chicken soup has something that stops a cold from getting worse．Heat from the soup can also make a person feel better．

Many people think that it is unhealthy not to have meat．It is true that meat．especially red meat，has protein（蛋白質(zhì)）that the body needs．A person who doesn’t eat meat can get enough protein and be healthy by eating tofu，eggs，and some vegetables．
