Food sometimes gets poisoned with harmful things. A person who eats such food can get an illness called food poisoning. Food poisoning is usually not serious, but some types are deadly. The symptoms of food poisoning usually begin within hours of eating the poisoned food. Fever is one of the most common symptoms.

Certain microorganisms(微生物)cause most types of food poisoning. Bacteria and other microorganisms can poison eggs, meat, vegetables, and many other foods. After entering the body, these tiny living things release(釋放)poisons that make people sick.

Some chemicals can also cause food poisoning. They are often added to food while it is being grown, processed, or prepared. For example, many farmers spray chemicals on crops to kill weeds and insects. Some people may have a bad reaction to those chemicals when they eat the crops.

Some plants and animals contain natural poisons that are harmful to people. These include certain kinds of seafood, grains, nuts, seeds, beans, and mushrooms.

When people handle food properly, the risk of food poisoning is very small. Microorganisms multiply rapidly in dirty places and in warm temperatures. This means that people should never touch food with dirty hands or put food on unwashed surfaces. Food should be kept in a refrigerator to stop microorganisms from growing. Meat needs to be cooked thoroughly to kill any dangerous microorganisms. People should also wash food covered with chemicals before eating it. Finally, people should not eat wild mushrooms or other foods that grow in the wild. Some of these foods may contain natural materials that are poisonous to humans. In addition, some types of fish can be poisonous.

Most people recover from food poisoning after a few days of resting and drinking extra water. If people eat natural poisons, they must go to the hospital right away to have their stomachs emptied.

Here are some of the most common reasons why kids hate school—and strategies(對(duì)策) to put them back on the road to success.

One fear that keeps children from enjoying school is separation    36    . It most frequently occurs during times of family stress or    37    a child is about to enter a new school.   38   , parents can feed a child’s anxieties by the way they    39  . With younger kids, watch how you say    40    those first few days of school. A firm “Have a great day, and I’ll    41    you up at 2:30!” is more confidence-inspiring than “Don’t worry, I can be there in ten    42    if you need me.”

You can help your child    43    fearful situations—from speaking up in class to taking tests—by rehearsing(預(yù)演)at home. Teach your child to    44    thoughts such as “I’m going to give up” with “I can handle this.”

Without any    45   , some kids dislike school .This may be the    46    if your child is always alone, pretends    47    to avoid class outings or give away treasured possessions in an attempt to be    48   .

Often loneliness problems can be solved. A child may need to learn how to    49    others in the eye when he speaks, or how to talk    50    a whisper—or below a yell. You might teach a young child a few “friendship    51   ”, such as “My name’s Tom. What’s yours? Do you want to play games?”

“A lot of kids who are very lonely have never been told anything    52    about themselves,” says Miami    53   Matty Rodriguez-Walling. “If a lonely kid is   54    some area—computers, for example—I’ll often have other students work with him. That does    55   for self-respect and helps the lonely child make friends.”
