What are the limits(極限) of human body? The BBC’s Focus magazine has some answers.
How cold can you stand?
Normal body temperature is around 37℃. At 35℃ you’re unable to write your name. Even walking is very difficult. At 33℃ you may find it difficult to think, understand and form(形成) opinions properly. By the time you have cooled to 20℃, your heart would have stopped beating.
Limit: 0℃. Ice would form in your tissues(纖維組織), killing all the cells.
How spicy can you eat?
There is capsaicin(辣椒素) in many foods. The more capsaicin, the hotter the dishes are. If you’re healthy enough, you can survive(存活) eating a teaspoon of pure capsaicin. But you would find it impossible to eat anything else for a few hours.
Limit: 5g capsaicin.
How fast can you run?
The fastest man in the world is Asafa Powell. The runner finished the 100m in 9. 74 seconds in 2007. This gives an average(平均的) speed of 36. 96km/h.
Top runners are at their fastest around 80 metres, so a runner’s greatest speed may reach 43.06km/h.
Limit: 43.06km/h.
How loud is too loud?
The loudest sound you can hear is 168 dB(分貝). Sound louder than that may do harm to your ears. The loudest sound ever recorded was the eruption of Krakatoa(卡拉卡托火山爆發(fā)) in 1883. It was 180 dB, 160km away.
Limit: 168 dB

Do you think that French fries are really French? French fries are called "pommes frites" in France and they are not from France. French fries come from Belgium(比利時(shí)) originally. French fries are made of potatoes, and they are cut and fried. The fried potatoes are called French fries because they were fist seen by Americans in Belgium, but they were fried in the French way. The French way is to fry potatoes twice with a small pause in the middle.
During World War I, there were a lot of hungry American soldiers in Northern France and Belgium. They ate French fries in Belgium. After the war was over, the soldiers went back home to America. However, they missed French fries so much that they made French fries at home. That's how French fries were fist introduced to America.
French fries were called Belgian fries once, but the name was finally changed to French fries. Sometimes French fries are just called fries.
French fries are one of the most popular potato foods in America. American fast food restaurants such as McDonald's and Burger King have French fries on their menus. French fries are freshly fried, and usually served with hamburgers.
