They give people a chance to enjoy something they might not eat normally, like National Onion (洋蔥) Ring Day, for example. Food holidays also give restaurants and other businesses a chance to promote their products.But w

12、here did these American “holidays” come from? Many are the invention of an Alabama man, John-Bryan Hopkins. He writes about food for his Foodimentary. com website. Hopkins told Time magazine that when he began his site in 2006, there were only 175 “holidays.” “I filled in the rest,” he said.The Nati

13、onal Day Calendar has a list of all the different food and non-food related “holidays.” In the past, the website used to let anyone create their own dayfor a price. But now, the site only accepts requests from businesses and other organizations.While some food “holidays” are indeed made-up, many hav

14、e historical roots. For example, National Beer Day on April 7 marks the end of a U. S. ban on the production, transport, import and sale of alcoholic drinks. The ban lasted from 1920 until 1933.The Salvation Army, a Christian group, launched U. S. National Doughnut Day on June 1, 1938. It was meant

15、to honor women who served soldiers doughnuts during World War I.But not everyone likes food holidays. Bethany Jean Clement is a food writer for the Seattle Times newspaper. She wrote, “I get that some people might be excited by, say, National Doughnut Day. But you really can have a doughnut any day

16、you want!”Tavi Juarez, also of Foodimentary. com, thinks national food holidays are here to stay. She told the Seattle Times, “In my modest opinion, I believe that food holidays will continue to grow in popularity online because theres a lot of negativity (消極) out there.

19、around long enough that we all scent to stick to the same ones-hit the gym, lay off the candy, read more books, call your mother-regardless of whether we follow through with our intentions.While January 1st seems like the perfect time to have a new start again, exactly when people developed that min

20、dset(思維模式)isnt common knowledge. It turns out that the modern belief of a New Years resolution isnt as old as you thought. According to many historians, the ancient Babylonians were the first group of people to make New Years resolutions. However, instead of making a commitment to self improvement,

21、they made a commitment to the gods to pay their debts and return any objects they had borrowed.An ancient Roman tradition from 46 BC, bears even more likeness to modern resolutions. Emperor Julius Caesar declared January the month of Janus. Romans believed Janus looked backwards into the previous ye

22、ar and ahead into the future. In his honor, they made sacrifices to the god and promises of good behavior for the coining year.But the modern New Years resolution didnt fully form until centuries later. The practice was common enough by the early 1800s. An article in 1802 states, Statesmen have swor

It is hardly a problem that most of us have to bother as much as we might like to dream that it were the case.Yet the blessings and curses of beauty have been a long-standing interest in psychology. Do those blessed with s

28、hiny faces and an attractive body live in a cloud of appreciation or does it sometimes pay to be ordinary?At the most basic level, beauty might be thought to carry a kind of halo (光環) around it; we see that someone has one good quality, and by association, our deep mind may assume that they have oth

29、er good ones too.Even in the courts, a pleasing appearance can work its magic. Attractive criminals are likely to get less strict sentences, or to escape punishment entirely; attractive plaintiffs (原告), meanwhile, are more likely to win their case and get bigger financial settlements. “Its an effect

30、 seen everywhere,” says Walker.But if beauty pays in most circumstances, there are still situations where it can have opposite results. While attractive men may be considered better leaders, for instance, hidden sexist prejudices (偏見) can work against attractive women, making them less likely to be

31、hired for high-level jobs that require power. And as you might expect, good-looking people of both sexes run into envy one study found that if you are interviewed by someone of the same sex, they may be less likely to employ you if they judge that you are more attractive than they are.More worryingl

When treating people for pain, for instance, doctors tend to take less care over the more attractive people.Ulti

33、mately, scientists point out that focusing too much on your appearance can itself be harmful if it creates stress and anxiety even for those already blessed with good looks. “If you are crazy about attractiveness, it may affect your experience and interactions,” she says. Its an outdated saying, but
