and 21 year old thomas murphy is burning the midnight oil
3
studying for an important engineering exam he has it too in the afternoon later today to stay awake
4
and alert he's had two cups of coffee in the last three hours
5
and is now downing a popular energy drink one
6
that has two to three times the amount of caffeine as
7
a similar sized can of soda many students like murphy as well as marathon runners airline pilots
8
and long -distance travelers owe their energy to one of humankind's oldest stimulants
9
caffeine the power to counter physical fatigue
10
and increase alertness is part of the reason caffeine ranks as
11
the world's most popular mood -altering drug it is found not only in sodas energy drinks, coffee and tea, but in diet pills,
12
pain relievers like aspirin and chocolate bars.
13
Many societies around the world have also created entire rituals around the use of caffeine.
14
For example, there's the cafe culture of France, the tea ceremony in Japan and the morning cup of coffee
15
or tea that marks the start of the day in many cultures.
16
Caffeine is present in many of the foods and drinks we consume, but is it good for us?
17
Charles Seisler, a scientist and sleep expert at Harvard Medical School, believes that caffeine causes us to lose sleep, which he says is unhealthy.
18
Without adequate sleep, the typical eight hours, the human body will not function at its best, physically, mentally or emotionally.
19
Too often, Seisler says, we consume caffeine to stay awake, which later makes it impossible for us to get the rest we need.
20
Health risks have also been tied to caffeine consumption Over the years,
21
studies have attributed higher rates of certain types of cancer and bone disease to caffeine consumption To date,
22
however, there is no proof that caffeine actually causes these diseases A number of scientists,
23
including Roland Griffiths, a professor at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in the United States believe
24
that regular caffeine use causes physical dependence heavy caffeine uses Griffith
25
says exhibit similar behaviors for example their moods fluctuate from high to low they get mild to severe headaches
26
or they feel tired or sad when they can't have a caffeinated drink to minimize
27
or stop these feelings users must consume caffeine a behavior Griffith
28
says is characteristic of drug addiction despite these concerns the general opinion in the scientific community is
29
that caffeine is not dangerous when consumed in moderation this means having one
30
or two small cups of coffee about 300 milligrams of caffeine
31
per day for example furthermore a lot of current research contradicts long -held negative beliefs about caffeine
32
and suggests that it may in fact have health benefits for instance studies have shown
33
that caffeine can help ease muscle pain because it is a stimulant caffeine can also help improve one's mood.
34
Research has also shown that some caffeinated drinks, specifically certain teas, have disease fighting chemicals that can help the body fight a number of illnesses,
35
including certain types of cancer.
36
In addition, as a type of mental stimulant, caffeine increases alertness, memory and reaction speed.
37
Because it fights fatigue, it facilitates performance on tasks like driving, flying and solving simple math problems.
38
And while it is true that caffeine can increase blood pressure The effect is usually temporary
39
and therefore not likely to cause heart trouble This is especially true if caffeine is consumed in moderation Moreover,
40
despite its nearly universal use, caffeine has rarely been abused With caffeine, overuse tends to stop itself,
41
says Jack Bergman, a specialist at Harvard Medical School If you consume too much, you get uncomfortable and you don't want to continue.
42
Caffeine's behavioural effects are real, but most often mild.
43
Getting that burst of energy, of course, is why many of the world's most popular drinks contain caffeine.
44
Whether it's a student drinking coffee before class or a business person enjoying tea with lunch,
45
humankind's favourite stimulant is at work every day, all over the world.

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
