Presta atención a la lectura de tu profesor.


Marisa tiene fama de ser muy observadora e inteligente. Un día, sus amigos
y amigas deciden ponerla a prueba. Van a visitarla y le llevan cuatro rosas;
una de ellas es de plástico.

 Cuando le dan las rosas le piden que adivine, sin
tocarlas, cuál es la rosa de plástico.


Marisa decide poner las flores en un jarrón con agua y sacarlas al jardín,
donde su madre les ha preparado la merienda.

Marisa no deja de observar las flores del jarrón. Una abeja se para en ellas
para recoger el polen . Sus amigos están merendando y se han olvidado de
las rosas; pero Marisa no.

Al cabo de un rato, Marisa exclama:

-¡Ya está!. ¡Ya sé cuál es la rosa de plástico!. Es esta.
Marisa lo ha acertado.

Marisa the smart girl

It might sound like the worst start to your day — you get into the shower, and it's ice cold. But while you might not enjoy it, a cold shower could actually be good for your health.

Spending time in cold water is not a new idea — the Ancient Greeks used cold water as a form of therapy as early as 3,500 BC. And things like cold water swims and ice baths have become quite popular around the world.

Experts believe there are a few reasons cold showers could be good for us.

Corey Simon, a doctor at Duke School of Medicine in the US, told CNN that having one or two cold showers a week helps him be more mentally present.

He believes the reason for this is that he has to mentally prepare himself for something stressful: the cold water. But once he's in it, he feels like he's in control of that stressor.

In fact, a 2022 study found that participants who showered for a minute in 10- to 14-degree water every day for two weeks had lower stress levels than a control group.

Cold showers could also be good for our immune system. In a study done in the Netherlands in 2016, people who spent 30 to 90 seconds in a cold shower took 29% fewer sick days from work.

Cold water has also been found to improve circulation, and can reduce muscle pain after a workout. Research suggests that taking a cold shower often could increase your metabolism too.

But experts say it's important to speak to your doctor before taking cold showers often, because it could be dangerous — especially for those with certain conditions, like heart or circulatory problems.
