友達英語》英語閱讀》Cancer risk from coffee downgraded 專家降低因喝咖啡而患癌癥風險級別
專家們說沒有充足的證據能證明飲用咖啡會增加患癌癥的風險，從而降低了咖啡致癌的風險級別。過去，有專家曾指出咖啡和膀胱癌之間有所關聯，但其實并沒有足夠的證據來證明咖啡到底是否是“致癌物質”。以下是 Adam Brimelow 的報道。
The decision to reclassify coffee was taken after a review of more than a thousand studies carried out by the International Agency for Research on Cancer.
It runs a register of environmental causes of cancer which runs from Group 1， where the evidence is convincing， to Group 4， where there's no risk.
Since 1991， coffee has been in category 2B reflecting a possible link to cancer. Now it's switched to category 3， which means there no conclusive evidence of a cancer risk.
The review concludes very hot beverages probably do cause cancer. Experts have urgedpeople to let their drinks cool down for a few minutes.

友達英語》禮節美語》losing a job can be positive
? ??
Mickey剛失業，跟朋友Suzanne 一起吃飯，Suzanne 勸他說，這未必不是件好事。她說，
S: Back at my old job there were some days where I barely used my brain at all! I just did the same thing over and over again.
M: So what happened after you got fired? Did a new opportunity come your way?
S: Not exactly. It took me about a year to figure out that opportunities weren't going to come my way.... I learnt that you have to create your own opportunities.
M: So that's when you started your company.
S: Yeah! I always had an interest in gardening，出國英語學習， so I thought to myself: There must be a lot of people who also have this interest and would like to have a garden but don't have the time to set one up.
Suzanne說，原來工作的時候，總是同樣的工作來回做，did the same thing over and over again. 完全不用動大腦，失業后，她用一年的時間才發現，機會不會自己找上門來，opportunities weren't going to come my way， 還不如自己去創造機會。于是她決定自己開公司，幫助那些喜歡園藝但是沒有時間整理花園的人整理花園。
M: So now you go around making custom-designed gardens for homes and offices， right?
S: Yes! I never would've thought in a million years that my interest in gardening would turn into a career! If I hadn't gotten fired， I would've never found my calling!
M: That's cool....and it does offer me some hope. I guess I need to do some thinking about what I really want to do.
S: I'm not saying it's going to be easy.... I spent almost one year doing odd jobs and trying to figure out what I wanted to do. Not having a stable income can be difficult.
因此，Suzanne 開了一家公司，專門為公司和家庭 custom-design 量身定做花園。她說，要不是被解雇，她死也不會想到自己的愛好竟然會成為職業，in a million years 是一種夸張的說法，就是無論如何也不會的意思。正是被解雇，才讓她最終找到了自己的 calling， calling is spelled c-a-l-l-i-n-g， calling， 一個人最適合的職業。Suzanne 說，不過，這個過程也很艱難，她足足打了一年零工才走出低谷，南大街英語學習，odd jobs 是零工的意思。Mickey 聽后深受啟發。
M: Yeah....right now I have some savings so I'll be good for about six months...but if I can't find something after that it's going to start getting tough.
S: Do you have a 'dream' or something you've always wanted to do?
M: Well， I have always had the idea of opening a bicycle store. I'm talking about selling rare， vintage or special custom-made bicycles.
Mickey說，英語學習技巧，自己存款有限，撐半年還行，再久就扛不住了。Suzanne 問他有沒有什么夢想。Mickey 說，他一直想開一家自行車店，專賣那些不多見，古香古色，或是訂做的自行車。他在這里用的 vintage is spelled v-i-n t-a-g-e， vintage 意思是老式的，古典的。
S: Interesting! Cycling is quite a trend these days and if you can find bicycles that no one else has....it just might work!
M: I've always been interested in bicycles and I know a lot about them. I never thought I would have a chance to open a bike store.
S: Give it some thought! This could be your calling in life!!
M: I'll think about it! Thanks， Suzanne! Now let's eat!
Suzanne 說， Mickey 想開自行車店的夢想很有意思，因為現在很流行騎車，it's quite a trend. Suzanne 覺得 Mickey 可以認真地琢磨琢磨， give it some thought 好好想想，沒準真能行。Mickey 聽了很受鼓舞，說從來沒想到，自己這輩子真能有機會開一家自行車店，實現夢想。
