• How to live a long and healthy life
I. Read the statements. Decide if they are true (T), false (F) or not given (NG).
A Healthy Lifestyle
Some habits might help people live longer. Researchers think that the key is eating well and being active.
Having a healthy diet is important. It’s important to eat a good number of fruits and vegetables. Not all
foods are good for you, though. Having too many fruits can still be bad for you. You should also avoid junk
foods and sweets. A treat once in a while isn’t bad, but don’t let them become a regular part of your diet.
Being active is also important. Sometimes it can be hard to find an activity you like. You don’t have to play
a sport like rugby. You can walk or run. You can ride a bike or hike. You can do yoga or dance. It doesn’t
matter what activity you do. But it is important to do something.
With these small changes, you will live a longer, healthier life!

C. What is tai chi?

D. Don’t I need to be fit to do tai chi?


E. What are the health benefits of tai chi?
F. Are there different styles of tai chi?
G. Can tai chi help to prevent falls?
H. What’s the basic technique?
1. ________________________________________________________________
It combines deep breathing and relaxation with slow and gentle movements. Originally developed as a
martial art in the 13th century in China, it is today practised around the world as a health-promoting
exercise.
2. ________________________________________________________________
Yes, such as yang, chen and wu. Some teachers often practise a combination of styles. The main
differences between the different tai chi styles are in the speed of movement and the way the body holds
the postures.
3. ________________________________________________________________
Tai chi is characterised by its slow, graceful, continuous movements that are gentle on the joints and
muscles. Done correctly, you'll find that the tai chi poses flow smoothly from one into another.
4. ________________________________________________________________
Studies have shown that tai chi can help people aged 65 and over to reduce stress, improve balance and
general mobility, and increase muscle strength in the legs.
5. ________________________________________________________________
Tai chi is essentially a gentle activity that is unlikely to cause injury if done correctly. The exercises involve
lots of flowing, easy movements that don’t stress the joints or muscles.
6. ________________________________________________________________
Some research suggests that tai chi can reduce the risk of falls among older adults who are at increased
risk. However, more research is needed.
7. ________________________________________________________________
No, tai chi is for everyone. It is ideal for inactive older people wanting to raise their activity levels gently
and gradually.

8. ________________________________________________________________
It’s a good idea to learn the basics of tai chi from an instructor to make sure your style is correct, effective
and won't cause injury. You can consider using a book or DVD once you’re familiar with the poses.
III. Read the passage, and then decide whether the statements are true (T) or false (F).

No Pain, Big Gains
In China, it is believed that tai chi can delay ageing and prolong life, increase flexibility, strengthen
muscles and tendons, and aid in the treatment of heart disease, high blood pressure, arthritis, skin
diseases, depression, cancer, and many other diseases.
Most of the research on tai chi has been done in older individuals in the area of balance and fall
prevention. This area of research is important because fall-related injuries are the leading cause of death
from injury and disability among older adults. Because tai chi movements are slow and deliberate with


shifts of body weight from one leg to the other in coordination with upper body movements, it challenges
balance and many have long assumed it helps improve balance and reduce fall frequency.
In a similar tai chi study of older adults, 54% of the subjects who practised tai chi attributed their
improved sense of confidence to improved balance. One study looked at adults in their 60s and 70s who
practised tai chi three times a week for 12 weeks (60-minute classes). After just six weeks, statistically
significant improvements were observed in balance, muscular strength, endurance, and flexibility
measures. Improvements in each of these areas increased further after another 12 weeks.
The demands of living are stressful for adults of all ages. Although one cannot directly point to studies
showing a reduction in stress from practising tai chi, the breathing, movement, and mental concentration
required of individuals who practise tai chi may be just the distraction you need from your hectic lifestyle.
1. It is believed by many in the world that tai chi has many benefits in treatments of many illnesses and
diseases.
_____
2. Injuries from falls are a big problem among elderly people.
_____
3. With its slow movements and its shifts of body weight between the legs, tai chi can improve balance

and reduce fall frequency.
_____
4. All the people who practise tai chi gain their sense of confidence in life.
_____
5. Improvements were observed clearly in balance, muscular strength, endurance, and flexibility
measures after twelve weeks.
_____
6. Exercising tai chi can help people, especially adults recover from stress from the hectic lifestyle.
_____
IV. Read the text, and then do the tasks that follow.

A Healthy Lifestyle
Having a healthy lifestyle is not just about eating healthily and exercising. It often refers to having a
balance between work and life.
To start with, make sure you get plenty of sleep. Some research suggests that teenagers need more sleep
than adults, however, it's often the case that they get less than they need. With homework and social
obligations, you can be staying up late but still have to get up early to get to classes, work or other
activities. To function properly, your body and mind need a minimum of eight hours of sleep each night.
Eating a well-balanced diet can sound much easier than it is. A lot of people are really conscious about
what they eat, and try and make healthy choices. If you think you have too much junk food and want to
make some changes to your diet, don't try and eliminate all junk food. You should drink plenty of water,
eat a balance of protein, whole grains, fruit and vegetables daily, and don’t skip breakfast - eat something
for breakfast every day.
Exercising regularly is part of having a healthy lifestyle. Physical activity helps build a strong body and
mind. Doing physical activity releases endorphins, which are a chemical your body produces, which gives


you a good feeling. Physical activity is also an effective way to manage moods and is a really good lifestyle
choice to improve your overall well-being.
Having friends and family that you can confide in is really important. To be a healthy person, you need to

have people around you that you can talk to about what's happening to you, rather than dealing with
them alone.
Another important part of having a healthy lifestyle is remembering to "play". Just taking time to laugh,
have fun and being around people who make you feel good is part of having balance in your life.
Take time to learn about what makes you feel good and remember to include some of those things in
your day.
Task 1. Answer the following questions.
1. What is the problem of sleep that teenagers often meet?
___________________________________________________________________________________
2. What kind of food and drink should teenagers have?
___________________________________________________________________________________
3. Why does doing physical activity give us a good feeling?
___________________________________________________________________________________
4. What are other benefits of physical activity?
___________________________________________________________________________________
5. What can you share with your friends?
___________________________________________________________________________________
6. What is the function of having fun and being around people in our lifestyle?
___________________________________________________________________________________
Task 2. Find the words or expressions in the text which have the following meanings.

Discover How Laughter Can Work for You!
You’ve probably heard the expression “Laughter is the best medicine”. Scientists and medical doctors now
agree that laughter can help people to deal with stress and anger. Research has shown that people who
feel happy and relaxed are healthier and have better relationships.
Laughter Yoga is a series of exercises. Laughter Yoga teaches you to laugh for no reason. You don’t have
to have a sense of humour, or understand funny jokes. You just have to laugh.


When you do Laughter Yoga in a group, you laugh and do yoga breathing, so that you increase the
amount of oxygen in your body. Soon the laughter exercises turn into real laughter. After a laughter yoga
class, you feel calm and relaxed, but also full of energy and happy.
She is a member of Laughter Network, a group of professionals who want to bring more laughter, health,
and happiness into people’s lives. They run Laughter Yoga classes and workshops in the UK, and Julie runs
Laughter Yoga holidays in Turkey, Egypt, Spain, and Morocco.
Laughing is good for the body and the mind. When we laugh, we breathe more oxygen into our body,
which helps to keep US healthy. Endorphins, or happy chemicals, are released in the body, and you feel
more relaxed and happy. Laughter also brings people together to share some fun.
Companies who have run Laughter Yoga workshops find that they have advantages for both employers
and employees. People who are happy at work are more hard-working and make more money for the
company. Also, people who laugh together communicate more successfully. In general, people do better
at work when they feel happy and relaxed.
If you’re not sure about Laughter Yoga, remember this, children laugh 300-400 times a day, but adults
only laugh around fifteen times a day.
Get more laughter in your life - you can feel the change in you, and when you change, the world changes.

In the past, many people died from bacterial diseases because there was no cure for them. Then
antibiotics were discovered. These powerful medicines kill the bacteria that cause specific diseases. As a
result, people live longer now than half a century ago. However, today, we’re facing a new health risk bacteria which is resistant to antibiotics. This is because bacteria grow quickly and adapt in order to
survive antibiotics.
When you have a check-up at the doctor’s, do you think you should always get a prescription for
antibiotics? A lot of people do. However, we mustn’t use antibiotics when it isn’t necessary. If you’ve got
a cold or flu, you shouldn’t use antibiotics because these illnesses are caused by viruses. Antibiotics can’t

kill viruses. To get over these illnesses, you should rest, take a painkiller and drink a lot of water. You
should also stay at home to avoid infecting others.
When antibiotics is appropriate, you must always make sure you take the complete course. If not, there
might be some bacteria left in your body and it can develop resistance. If we use antibiotics correctly and
less often, it will help to stop the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and give scientists time to invent
new types of antibiotics. If we don’t change our habits, it will become harder to treat diseases and life
expectancy might fall.

Ask Jane
Dear Jane,
I’m 17 years old and my life is causing me a lot of stress. I have to do homework, exam revision, extra
science classes and football practice - and then I have to help my parents around the house! Being a
teenager can’t always be this tough! Adults say that you must enjoy your schooldays because they’re the
happiest days of your life, but these can’t be the happiest days of my life. This isn’t happiness - I’m really
suffering. What should I do to cut down on the stress?
Mike Wallingford

Dear Mike,
Being a teenager is stressful. Although adults romanticise their childhood, they must have given up things
they wanted to do, too. Here are four effective ways to relieve stress. Follow them, and you’ll be able to
sort out your stress issues and live a busy, but happy life.
1.
You must exercise at least three times a week. You can do sports or work out - or even walk the
dog. Exercise relaxes your body and your brain, and relaxation helps to prevent stress and
depression and also relieves insomnia - serious sleeplessness.
2.
Take your mind off the stress by discovering new interests like judo, sudoku or even gentle sports
like fishing.
3.
Remember - ‘you are what you eat’. Burgers, chips and sugar food may be enjoyable, but this diet
makes your body scream, ‘No! Stop!’ You should listen to your body, go without junk food, and
feel the stress melt away as a healthy diet cures you.
4.
Networking sites, emails, Twitter and texts might be useful, but you mustn’t give up face- to-face
communication with people. Laughing with your mates will make a big difference and is probably
the most effective form of stress prevention.
Task 1. Match the headings A-D with the suggestions 1-4 in the letter.
A __________ Take up something new

WebDoctor

Topic: stressed about studies
Here at WebDoctor, we get a lot of messages from high-school students asking for advice about stress.
Many of you have told US that you find it difficult to study because you feel anxious and tired. You aren’t
alone. Everyone finds studying stressful from time to time, even doctors. If we had tests this year, we’d be
nervous, too. Luckily, there are many things you can do to help with this problem.
‘I’m feeling stressed. What should I do?’
A.
This is my most important tip: look after yourself. Stress can cause headaches and other problems.
Please don’t ignore any symptoms like these. You should go to the doctor, and ask for advice.
B.
The average teenager should sleep for eight to ten hours a night. Do you? Perhaps if you rested
more, you’d have more energy. Studies show that students who sleep well actually get better
grades. To fall asleep more quickly, you should go to bed before midnight, and you shouldn’t use
your cell phone or read in bed.
C.
You should make a schedule to manage your time. Take a break of ten minutes every hour, and
make time for fun, too. You shouldn’t work all day. Your goal should be ‘study weir, not ‘study
lots’.
D.
You shouldn’t spend time sitting still. Get up and walk around to avoid backache, and exercise for
at least 30 minutes, four times a week. Exercise helps your brain to stay fit, too! Try walking to
school, or going for a walk during your lunch break.
E.
You already know you should eat healthily. But an occasional treat can be good for you. Dark
chocolate contains chemicals which can improve mood and concentration. But you shouldn’t have
too much chocolate. You wouldn’t feel happier if you ate a whole familysized bar. You’d just have
a stomachache.
F.
What will you do if you don’t have tests? Don’t forget what makes you happy. Family, friends, and
hobbies are important, too. Do one thing you love every day, and try to relax.

I’m sure you’re a great student. Believe in yourself. And good luck.

IX. Read the article, and do the tasks that follow.
Go Out, Get Fit, Be Happy!
Sick, tired, stressed? Maybe you should go out. Spending time in the countryside, or green areas like parks,
has many health benefits.
A ____________________


Even small amounts of exercise can build muscles and help your heart - the most important muscle of all.
Research suggests that doing no exercise can shorten your life by three to five years. It can be as bad for
you as obesity or smoking.
One 2011 study found that people who exercised outdoors move faster and felt less tired than those who
exercised indoors - perhaps because they enjoyed it more. What can you do outdoors in your area? For
instance, if you were lucky enough to live in a good area, you’d be able to skate, cycle, climb or simply
walk in the park.
B ____________________

Our body makes vitamin D when the sun shines on our skin. Studies suggest that we need vitamin D for
strong bones. It can also help us to get better more quickly when we get a bruise or sprain a muscle.
However, too much sun can cause skin cancer, so you shouldn’t stay outside for more than a few minutes
without sun protection, and you should try to avoid getting a sunburn.
C ____________________
Some people think we should stay indoors in winter to avoid getting colds and other illnesses. That isn’t
true. We don’t get colds because we feel cold. We get colds from tiny viruses. These often spread more
quickly in winter because we spend more time close to other people indoors. Perhaps if you’d spent more
time outdoors last winter, you’d have felt healthier.
D ____________________
When you breathe in fresh air, more oxygen enters your lungs. This travels around your body in your
blood until it reaches your brain. When your brain has extra oxygen, it makes a chemical called serotonin.
This is sometimes called the ‘feel-good chemical’, because it makes US feel good. Going outdoors may
also help you to relax. In one South Korean study, researchers studied people’s brains while they were
looking at different pictures. They found that looking at pictures of cities produced more stress and worry,
while trees or mountains inspired positive emotions and happy memories.
E ____________________
Did you spend a lot of time studying indoors before your last exams? Perhaps you should have gone out
more. One study by the University of Michigan found that people’s memory and concentration improved
by 20 percent after they’d spent just an hour outdoors. Could going out help you get better grades? Why
not test the idea yourself!
Task 1. Match the headings 1-6 to the paragraphs A-E. There is one heading you do not need.
1. Better concentration
_______
2. Exercise
_______
3. Fewer colds?

X. Read the text, and answer the questions.
Health Myth, or Health Fact?
A

‘Going outside with wet hair will give you a cold.’
If you went outside with wet hair on a cold day, you probably wouldn’t feel great. However, it wouldn’t
give you a cold. We get cold from viruses, which we catch from other people. Still, it’s generally a good
idea to try to stay warm in winter. You should wear warm clothes, including a hat.
B
‘Eating carrots will help you to see better at night’
Carrots contain vitamin A, which can help eyes to stay healthy. So, the myth is partly true. But if you ate
carrots daily, you still wouldn’t be able to see in the dark. In the Second World War, the British
government said that British pilots could see at night because they ate so many carrots. This wasn’t true.
In reality, the pilots used special radar technology to ‘see’, but Britain didn’t want other countries to know
this.
C
‘You should feed a cold and starve a temperature.’
Whether you have a cold or a temperature, you should still eat healthily. You shouldn’t stop eating,
because you need the energy to get better. Sometimes when we’re sick, we don’t feel very hungry. At
these times you should try to eat something tasty and ‘easy’ like chicken soup, fruit, or even ice cream.
D
‘You shouldn’t sit too close to a TV because it’s dangerous.’
In 1967, a company accidentally sold some dangerously radioactive TVs. All the TVs were sent back and no
one was hurt, but the story made people worried. Today’s TVs are safe. If you sat near a TV for many
hours, you’d probably get tired eyes, or a headache, but you wouldn’t damage your eyes permanently.
E
‘Drinking warm milk will help you to sleep.’
Warm drinks can help us to feel sleepy. Many people in the US enjoy drinking warm milk or hot chocolate
before bed, perhaps because it reminds them of childhood. However, if you don’t like milky drinks, that’s
OK. If you drank herbal tea or hot water with lemon and honey, it would also help you to relax.

One Hundred and Counting


Do you know anyone who has had a birthday card from a king or queen? In the UK, on your 100 th and
105th birthday and every birthday after that, a birthday card is sent to you from the Queen at Buckingham
Palace, which is the British monarch’s official residence in London. The reigning monarch has sent
messages of congratulations like this since 1917.
At that time, living over the age of 100 was a really amazing achievement. There were only about 100
centenarians in the whole country. Today, however, there are more than 10,000 and we’ve visited a few
of them to discover the secret of their long life.
Jean, who’s 103 and lives in an old people’s home, said that she had taken up singing when she was a
teenager and she had sung every day since then. She used to sing in a choir and although she can’t carry
on with that, she sings with her friend Ada, who’s 101, every day. They both said that they found it
absolutely brilliant for relaxing.
Arthur has just become a centenarian and he thought having a treat every day did him good. He said he’d
always loved chocolate and he’d eaten a very big bar every day for the last 70 years. He said he was sure
there was something in the chocolate that made him healthy.
Whatever the key to long life is, life expectancy will definitely increase in the future. In fact, according to
recent statistics, a quarter of all babies born in the UK this year will live to be more than 100. Celebrating
your 100th birthday will be a really ordinary thing for future generations.

A. an invitation to Buckingham Palace
B. a card on every birthday
C. a card on certain birthdays
2. This tradition started _________.
A. hundreds of years ago
B. early in the last century
C. at the end of the last century
3. There are _________ times more centenarians today than in 1917.
A. 10
B. 100
C. 1,000
4. Jean started singing as a hobby _________.
A. in her teens
B. in the old people’s home
C. when she was 101
5. Arthur is _________ years of age.
A. 70

Is Chocolate the Answer?
Have you ever wondered what makes people happy? Why are some people on cloud nine while others
are always down in the dumps? What’s the secret? Is it lots of money, good health, loving relationships,
owning the latest gadgets or simply chocolate?
A
The latest World Happiness Report says that prosperity is not the main reason for happiness. If you suffer
real hardship, you are unlikely to be happy, but once your basic needs are met, money and material
things become less of a necessity. Happiness depends more on recognizing the things you have and
appreciating them, rather than getting more things. Yes, money can buy you the latest smartphone, tablet
or fashion item, and you might get a kick out of the ownership of these material objects, but this
enjoyment is usually short-lived. Remember all those presents you got for Christmas when you opened
them, but not for long. A month later, they were lying abandoned at the bottom of a drawer. And have
you forgotten those delicious chocolates that made you feel really happy when you were eating them, but
ill after you’d finished them all?
B
It seems that deep, long-lasting happiness comes from intangible things rather than things like chocolates
and smartphones. One essential factor is human relationships. People who have the support of family
members and also have strong relationships are more likely to be happy. Feeling protected and respected
and knowing you can trust in the people around you are vital. But happiness means you have to give and
take. Performing acts of kindness and generosity on a regular basis, for example, listening to a friend in
need or carrying a neighbour’s shopping, will make you feel on the top of the world. Even a simple smile
can work wonders. In fact, they say that one smile makes a person feel as good as eating 2,000 bars of
chocolate (not at all once, of course).
C
It’s not surprising that health is another key contributor to happiness. Poor health will certainly make you
feel down in the mouth. But being healthy and staying healthy requires some effort. A healthy diet is
crucial and so is regular exercise. Laziness will not make you happy. Exercising for twenty to thirty minutes
a day helps to reduce stress and anxiety and makes you feel more positive and optimistic because it
releases endorphins (feel-good chemicals). So, if you’ve been feeling blue and worrying too much about

your exams, get exercising. You’ll also find that you sleep better.
D
Talking of sleep, do you often wake up feeling miserable? If so, it’s probably because you haven’t had
enough of it. Teenagers tend to go to bed too late and have to get up early, so many suffer from a lack of
sleep. Tiredness will certainly affect your happiness levels and put you in a bad mood. It also affects your
ability to concentrate and may slow your growth. So, if you want to be happy and do well at school, try to
get at least eight hours a night.
Now you know the theory, it’s time to put it into practice. Smile, everyone!
Task 1. Match headings 1-6 with paragraphs A-D. There are two headings that you do not need.
1. Recharge your body and mood
_________
2. Short-lived happiness
_________

1
_____________ At only nine years old, she was already snowboarding with her dad in Scotland, and she
continues to love it to this day. ‘Being in the mountains for hours every day made me feel so healthy and
alive,’ she says. It helped her to understand how her body works because she learned techniques to help
her to ride the snowboard properly.
2
_____________ ‘Snowboarding taught me to believe in myself, even when I was worried about hurting
myself.’ Did she get hurt? ‘Yes, once or twice, nothing serious,’ she say. ‘ 3 _____________ It made
me want to succeed even more and get to the bottom of the mountain!’
In what other ways can snowboarding make you healthy and enjoy life more? ‘It keeps you very fit, very
positive, but it also helps you to make new friends,’ Kathy says. 4 _____________ ‘You have support from
people who understand what you’re doing and are there to help you improve.’ And she thinks the feelgood part of snowboarding can also help teenagers keep out of trouble. ‘Some people I know from school

laugh at me when I tell them how great I feel after snowboarding. 5 _____________’ So, what is
