Be Careful about Energy Drinks Be careful what you drink; something that looks cool may not be good for your health. The weather is getting hotter and you"ll be getting thirstier playing basketball or riding home from school. A cold drink may be just the thing. But be carefu "I what you pour down your throat; something that looks cool may not be good for your health. There are plenty of so-called energy drinks on the market. Most of them have an attractive color and cool name. But after a careful check you may find that most energy drinks have high levels of caffeine. These drinks are specially aimed at young people, students, busy people and sports players. Makers sometimes say their drinks make you better at sports and can keep you awake. But be careful not to drink too much. Caffeine raises your heartbeat. Because of this, the Intemational Olympic Committee has limited their use. The amount of caffeine in most energy drinks is at least as high as in a strong cup of coffee or strong tea. Research by Australian scientists has found that many teenagers are affected by caffeine. The results of their study show that 27 percent of boys aged 8-12 take in more caffeine than their parents. There are hidden health problems connected to energy drinks. Just one can of energy drink can make you nervous, have difficulty sleeping and can even cause heart attacks. "Teenagers should not be encouraged to have drinks with high level caffeine in them," a scientist from the Australia Nutrition Foundation said. | |||||||||||||||||

On a cloudy aftemoon last September, Rubio watched Texas National Cuard soldiers help passengers off planes at a small airport near College Station. All of them were running away from Hurricane (飓风) Ike. They had something else in common as well. Each passenger wore a bright yellow wristband (腕标), RFID, developed by Rubio"s company. The wristband had a computer chip (芯片), which allowed the state"s emergency response center (急救中心) to follow the person who wore it. "The wristband really made a difference," says Rubio, adding that thousands of families who called the state"s emergency response center during the hurricane were able to find loved ones. The wristbands also made a lot of money for Rubio"s company. That"s a goal Rubio could not have imagined even a few years ago, as a 36-year-old stay-at-home mum with three kids under ten and a husband who traveled for work five days a week. "All I wanted was to have my family back together," she says. Rubio considered doing something different after the birth of her third child and returned to work. A friend suggested the technology of RFID. It wasn"t new but was mainly used to find packages. Rubio began imagining wider use of RFID, and in 2005 the wristband appeared at a business conference and did a good job. In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, the company further used the technology, and later during Ike about 27,000 people were successfully saved. "I"m a mum with three kids or a woman in a technology field. I"ve succeeded and got confidence (信心)." Rubio also achieved something else. She finally has the family life she always wanted. | |||||||||||||||||
