>Free plane tickets giveaway

日航将赠五万免费机票

Japan Airlines is giving away 50,000 free round-trip domestic air tickets to international tourists this summer - but there's a catch. 日本航空今年夏天将向国外游客免费送出5万张国内往返机票，但有一个条件。

The giveaway aims to encourage tourists to see less visited parts of Japan, and perhaps take some of the strain off Tokyo between July 1 and Sept 30 this year as the capital hosts the Olympic Summer Games. 这次机票赠送的目的是鼓励游客去日本少有人旅游的地方，也许是为了在今年7月1日和9月30日期间减少首都东京的一部分压力。届时东京将举办夏季奥运会。

However to win free tickets, travelers must be registered outside of Japan with the flag carrier's Mileage Bank frequent flier program. 不过，想要赢得免费机票，旅客必须在日本境外注册日本航空的里程银行常客项目。

The airline will recommend four local destinations to choose from, flying out of Haneda airport in Tokyo, or Osaka's Itami and Kansai airports. 日本航空将推荐四个国内目的地供你选择，从东京的羽田机场或大阪的伊丹机场和关西机场起飞。

Family and friends traveling together can apply as a group of up to four people, and applicants will receive the result within three days of applying.一起旅行的亲朋好友可以组团申请(一个团最多四个人)，申请人将在申请后的三日内收到结果。

>Eating chilies is healthy

吃辣椒降低心脏病风险?

That delicious penne all'arrabiata may have benefits that go further than putting a smile on your face, according to a new study. 一项新研究发现，美味的辣味通心粉给你带来的益处也许不止让你开心。

For many years, chili has been hailed for its therapeutic properties, and now researchers have found that eating chili peppers regularly can cut the risk of death from heart disease and stroke. 多年来辣椒一直因其食疗特性而受到赞誉，如今研究人员发现，定期吃辣椒可以降低死于心脏病和中风的风险。

The positive effect of chili consumption could be attributed to how the peppers are used in an overall diet, according to Duane Mellor, a registered dietitian and senior teaching fellow at Aston Medical School in the UK. 英国阿斯顿医学院的注册营养师和高级特任讲师杜安·梅勒说，吃辣椒的积极作用可以归因于辣椒在整体饮食中的运用方式。

"It is plausible people who use chillies, as the data suggests also used more herbs and spices, and as such likely to be eating more fresh foods including vegetables," he said. "So, although chillies can be a tasty addition to our recipes and meals, any direct effect is likely to be small and it is more likely that it makes eating other healthy foods more pleasurable."他说："数据显示，用辣椒做菜的人也会用更多药草和香料，他们吃蔬菜等新鲜食物的可能性也更大。因此，尽管辣椒会让我们的饭菜更美味，但辣椒本身对健康直接产生的效果可能并不大，更重要的是辣椒会让我们更愿意吃其他健康食品。"
