Despite the hype over red wine and longevity, alcohol should be consumed only in moderation, and for many
people, not at all. Red wine (in moderation) has been found to offer protection against diseases ranging from heart
disease to Alzheimer's disease, but you don't need to drink red wine to get these benefits.
Red wine is rich in flavonoids, particularly the phytonutrient resveratrol. Resveratrol, however, is also found
in red grape juice, red grapes, and even peanuts.
Moderate alcohol consumption (one drink for women, two for men) may lower heart disease, but the link
between alcohol and breast cancer suggests that even this amount should be used with caution. Women who have
three drinks per week have a 15% higher risk of breast cancer and the risk goes up another 10% for every
additional drink they have each day.
Higher levels of alcohol can lead to health and behavioural problems, including an increased risk for high
blood pressure, stroke, heart disease, some cancers, accidents, violence, suicide, and deaths in general.
To celebrate a special moment, and when done in moderation—after all, mental and social well-being rank
right up there with physical health—moderate intake of alcohol, by those who don't have a problem with alcohol
and are not predisposed to alcohol abuse, may be part of a healthy lifestyle, as long as everyone present has a good
understanding of the dangers of alcohol before drinking to your toast.

answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
Learning does not just mean studying from a textbook and copying it down come test time — it refers to
drawing meaning from your work and seeing how it’s important and connected to a broader concept or idea.
Though for many students “learning” may consist of memorizing formulas, dates, and facts, they often miss
the bigger picture. If you spend all of your efforts on memorizing and none of your efforts on understanding what
you are actually doing, by the time the next test rolls around, the information stored in your short term memory
may be completely forgotten.
As an example, take two students, Julie and Brian. Both students are in high school, getting ready for an
upcoming mathematics test. Julie memorizes the way that you solve each problem, all of the formulas, and knows
exactly what steps she needs to do to solve any of the example questions. Brian also memorizes the formulas but
concentrates on the why — and understands why the examples are done the way that they are, comprehending the
methods and connecting any relevant prior knowledge to each question at hand. Both might ace the test, but come
exam time, Julie will have to memorize the concepts all over again — and one slight twist in the question may
throw her off. Brian, however, understanding the concepts behind his steps, will be much better off come any
challenging question, and practicing questions will come more naturally to him.
That being said, not all students must be categorized into being a Julie or a Brian — instead, they may fit in
between the two. The important take-away is understanding how important asking “why?” really is. In the midst of
stress or a heavy workload, this question is often forgotten — yet it is the key to lifelong learning. Practicing the art
of asking “why” not only enriches one’s curiosity, but it feeds your desire to learn beyond the textbook.
