A teaspoonful of honey
Our bodies produce heat, or energy, from the foods we eat. The energy producing value of food is measured in calories. Some people count their calories as carefully as they count their money. They know that the calorie is the unit of measurement that influences weight.
The number of calories a person needs each day depends upon age, body structure, and the kind of work one does. Calorie needs differ from one individual to another. Boys between the ages of 13 and 15 may need about 3100 calories a day. Girls of the same age usually need only about 2600 calories a day. People who do physical hard work may need as many as 4000 calories a day.
The food a person eats in three, well-balanced meals each day usually provides all the energy-making calories needed. Sometimes individuals take in more calories than their bodies can use. Such extra calories are deposited in the body as fat. Those people who have stored too much fat, or wish to maintain the weight at which they feel and look their best, must carefully watch their intake of food. They must also count their calories. How surprised some of them are to find that a teaspoonful of honey contains 100 calories!

World’s Greatest Mystery Writer
Agatha Christie has been called the world’s greatest mystery writer. William Shakespeare is the only English author whose works have been translated more often than Christie’s. She wrote approximately one novel a year to produce a final total of more than 80 books.
When Agatha was a young girl in England, she hoped to become a great singer. After lessons in Paris, she realized that her voice was not good enough. It was some time, though, before her first novel was accepted by the publisher. Once published, the book was successful, and from that time on, many more successes were to follow. Many readers became fascinated with Hercule Poirot, the clever Belgian detective of Christie’s mysterious stories.
Agatha liked to say that she got her best story ideas while sitting in the bathtub eating apples. Although her mystery stories concern murders, she did not emphasize violence for its own sake. Two of her best known novels are The Murder of Roger Ackroyd and Ten Little Indians. One of her plays, the Mousetrap, opened in London in 1952, and when it was given for the 800th time in 1972, it had broken the record for continuous performances.

A recent experiment has shown that the British postal service is less efficient than it was 150 years . A national newspaper sent a letter to Eritol is in the south-west of England. They posted the letter in London on Tuesday, the 4th April, using a first class stamp, which means that it should arrive the day. On the same day, they hired a horse and carriage, and gave letter to the driver. Then they sat back to see what would happen.
The letter which was taken by horse carriage arrived after three days. It was for the horse to reach Eritol in a single day, so both the horse and driver stayed overnight in a hotel – not in the same room, we hoped!
 the letter which went by Royal Mail didn’t arrive until six days later. Naturally, the post office was very embarrassed. And said that the vast majority of first class letter would arrive the next day; this one was an unfortunate mistake.
