UNIT 6

1. .
NUMBER ONE FACTOR
Nowadays, good health is cited as number one factor able (1) us to improve the
quality of life. One of the characteristics of modern people in developed countries,
especially in the middle-age group, is their health-conscious (2). They jog to keep
fit or take other forms of exercise on a regularity (3) basis. Thousands try to make
gym workout their day (4) routine. Those who for some reasons fail to add
physical act (5) to their life may go on exotic diets with a lot of restrict (6) in
order to lose weigh (7).
Fresh country air is also considered to be benefit (8) for health. Also, the idea
of working in the smoke-free environment seems attract (9) to most people.
Fortunately, smoking has been banned on most fly (10) and in most public places
as everyone agrees that it is harm (11) to our health. However, there are kill (12)
diseases like AIDS and cancer which seem to be cure (13). Malaria is still the
biggest cause of death in the Third World, while heart attack remains the most
frequency (14) cause of death in Europe.
The important (15) of health is reflected in many languages by the express
(16) like to drink to someones health. Some nations seem to be more occupy
(17) with the idea of health, which has found a reflect (18) in their languages. For
example, in the Russian language, word combine (19) related to health are found
practically in all social use (20) including salute (21), toasting, polite reaction to
sneezing, even a hostess respond (22) after being thanked for the delicious meal.
2. .
KEEEPNG FIT
Keeping fit and staying healthy has become a growing/grown (1)
business. Apart from the amount of money spent on doctors
prescriptions/recipes (2) and private medical treatment, huge sums
are now spent on health foods and remedies/treatment (3) of
various kinds including vitamin pills, food supplements/supplies (4)
and mineral water, not to mention health clubs and keep-fit books
and videos. We are more than ever occupied/preoccupied (5) with
the quality of water we drink and air we breathe. A low-fat diet may
be good for your waist/waste (6) line, but the latest research suggests

that it is less beneficial/profitable (7) psychologically.

A team of applicants/volunteers (8), asked to follow a diet consisting of
25 per cent/percentage (9) of fat (the level recommended by the World Health
Organization), reported a marked/marking (10) increase in feelings of depression
and hospitality/hostility (11). And an earlier piece of research revealed,
starting/startlingly (12), that people on low-fat diet are more likely to meet a
violent/violation (13) death.
3. .
FEELING HAPPY AGAINST ALL ODDS
Despite all the changes we make to our behave (1), diet, and the environment,
there is growing evident (2) that at the end of the day, whether we are cheerful or
misery (3) is largely the question of our genes. Of course, what happens to you in
life makes different (4) to how happy you are. However, there are two or three
genes which probably decide how cheerful you are in compare (5) to others in the
similar situation.
Alas, little is known how to influence these genes in order to be happier, but
what really depends on us is our part (6) in leisure activities enabling us to relief
(7) stress and fortify our immune system. Brisk, regular and sustained
act (8) such as fast walking, jogging or swimming will improve the efficient (9) of
our heart and lungs. Moreover, our flexible (10) and muscle strength will be
improved as well as.
Amazingly, physical exercises are reported to affect mood, memory
retain (11), and learning abilities. These are due to endorphins, which are product
(12) by the body as a means of alleviating feelings of depress (13) and stress.
Thus, strenuous and focused exercise can even be extremely help (14) in
improving your outlook on life. So never mind your fault (15) genes, which are
supposedly responsible for your cheer (16).

KEEPING WARM IN WINTER

Do you feel cold? If the answer is yes, then why not

try a cold bath/bathe (1) or shower? This unusual
advise/advice (2) comes from a natural health
therapist/therapy (3) in Germany who for the last 30
years, has been studying the effects/affects (4) of cold
water.
Most people are brought up to believe that its
important to keep warm during the cold weather/whether (5), with extra clothing
and heaters. However, research shows that the opposite is
true/truth (6). At a German health centre, hundreds of visitors follow this advice
by taking their first cold bath at 6 am, and come out feeling much more
relaxing/relaxed (7). This is due/duty (8) to the fact that the cold water increases
blood sugar level, heart beat and breathe/breath (9) rate.
New research at the medical centre of Hanover has suggested that those taking
daily cold baths have 50% fewer colds and respiratory/perspiration (10)
problems than those who don't. Studies conducted in London have also
proof/proven (11) that cold treatment will help protect/defend (12) people from
heart attacks.
For those people who find the idea of such behavior unthinkable /
inconsiderate (13), regular exercise such as running or cycling is a good
alteration/alternative (14). So, next time youre suffering from cold, dont sit and
complain/complaint (15), but go ice-swimming!
5. .
WAKE UP, IT IS SUMMER!
The summer season makes most of us feel good, and science (1) believe that
they have discovered the reason for this. Bright light makes you feel more
wake (2) and helps you feel better. Travel (3) through the eye, light sends a
message to the part of the brain responsible for sleep and appetite. So in the
summer months as sunlight is increase (4), your energy level goes up, thus
decreasing the need to eat and sleep. In add (5), the heat from the sun also
produces a calming affect (6) as it reduces blood pressure, resulting in a feeling of
relax (7).

Sea and mountain air are also benefit (8) in summer as they make you breathe
more deeply, increasing the take (9) of oxygen in your blood. For some people,
however, there is a negative side to summer. Those suffering from low blood press
(10) may experience feelings of tire (11) and anxiety at this time of the year.
Experts norm (12) advise such people to take up exercise and to add more salt to
their diet. So feel completely fresh (13) in summer!
6. .
MEDICAL SMILE
According to the recent find (1), you not only laugh more when you are
relaxed, but you also relax when you laugh, and it has been found that when youre
on holiday it is ease (2) to do both. But for some people laugh (3) is not just a
pleasure, it is a way of fighting ill (4). Some hospitals have begun to bring in
clowns to relieve the silent, depress (5) atmosphere, special (6) in childrens
wards. This scheme is called Medical Smile and it helps sick children in a way,
that doctors, with all their know (7), cant do. The effect of clowns is more than
psychological. Laughter helps to strong (8) the immune system, which is the part
of our bodies that increases resist (9) to diseases. We inhale more oxygen when we
laugh, and our heartbeat becomes more rhythm (10). Hospital clowns are
becoming increase (11) popular because of the positive effect they have. They
both relief (12) depression, which tends to make illnesses even bad (13), and give
people the will to fight their illnesses themselves.
7. .
SLEEP IS VITAL
Total sleep deprivation/deprive (1) in rats leads to
death. These animals show weight loss despite greatly
increased food consumption/assumption (2) suggesting
extensive/excessive (3) heat loss. The animals die, for the
reasons yet to be explained, within 10 or 20 days, faster
than if they were totally/extremely (4) deprived of food
but slept normally.
In humans, a very rare degenerative/regenerative (5) brain disease called
familiar/familial (6) insomnia leads to death after several months. Whether the
sleep loose/loss (7) itself is fatal or other aspects of the brain injury/damage (8)
are to blame is not clear. Sleep deprivation studies in humans have found that
sleepiness increases with even small reduction in overnight/nightly (9) sleep

duration. Being sleepy while driving or during other activities that require
continual/continuous (10) vigilance is as dangerous as consuming alcohol prior to
those tasks/assignments (11).
8. .
A BREATH OF FRESH AIR
Since peoples aware (1) of the dangers of smoking has increased a lot in
recent years, the government has decided to take the popular (2) decision to ban
smoking in a lot of public places. Though a lot of people find smoking
pleasure (3), and though experts all agree it is health (4) and that it costs the state
a lot to treat victims of smoking, it is also deny (5) that many people get pleasure
from the habit and find smoking resist (6) when they are in company.
However, it is now possible (7) to deny the social (8) nature of the habit. As
advertising has proved effect (9) with many smokers, the government has now
made smoking law (10) in public places. Smokers who are ability (11) to stop
smoking will be obliged to enjoy their pastime in private and may feel new rules
are justice (12), but for passive smokers who find a room full of smoke
bear (13) that will doubt (14) come as a breath of fresh air. When smoke (15)
policy is first introduced, there is usually some protest from smokers. But
eventually even smokers come to appreciate the benefits of working in a smokefree environment, and many are courage (16) to give up smoking all together.
9. .
IS SMOKING BENEFICIAL FOR YOU?
Smokers stay hooked for a variety/variation (1) of reasons.
One powerful inducement to continue smoking is to avoid the
inconvenience/discomfort (2) of nicotine cut-down. However, ten
cigarettes a day is enough to avoid withdrawal/drawer (3)
symptoms. This is because nicotine literally/literary (4) alters the
availability of important brain chemical involved in the feeling of reward/award
(5) and well-being.
There is evidence that nicotine makes task performance easier,
improves/approves (6) memory, reduces anxiety, increases tolerance /
tolerant (7) of pain, and reduces hunger. Nicotine produces these
temporal/temporary (8) improvements in performance through a remarkable two-

step process. Depending/dependent (9) on how the cigarette is smoked short

puffs versus long drags the smoker is aroused/raised (10) or calmed. Smokers
can adjust nicotine intake to selected/selectively (11) enhance these effects.
Nicotine is a self-administered/administrated (12) drug that, unlike/like (13)
marijuana or alcohol, has short-lived effects that do not interfere with normal
sociable/social (14) intercourse.
Regardless of this amazing/amusing (15) evidence, smoking kills seven times
more people than automobile accidents/incidents (16).
10. .
LIVING A LONG TIME
It is often said the Japan (1) as a nation, on average, live much longer than
Europeans. To a large extend (2), this must be due to the food the Japanese eat,
since regarding life-style, life in modern Japan is no less stress (3) than that in the
west. The Japanese live main (4) on a diet consisting of fish and rice. A typical
Japanese family consumes at little (5) twice as many vegetables as we do in
Europe. In compare (6) with Europeans, the Japanese eat less meat and
few (7) potatoes; at the same time they eat seven times more fresh fish than we do,
which makes their diet far health (8). It is need (9) to say that, in general, the
Japanese consume consider (10) less sugar than Europeans, though the modern
Japanese frequent visit (11) to Europe on business or for pleasure are
discovering the pleasures and dangers of western-style eat (12) habits.
11. .
GOOD NEWS FOR BALDIES
Finnish scientists believe they have discovered a nature (1) substance that
helps hair growth. Although not a medicine (2) condition, baldness has
repeat (3) attracted promises of cures, most of them false. But this new formula
has proved particularly success (4). The treatment was discovered accidentally and
involves a combine (5) of tablets and the apply (6) of a lotion on the affected
areas. The manufacture (7) of the product have made a suggest (8) to the effect
that the preparation may correct vitamin deficient (9). However, there is no define
(10) evidence to back up such a claim. Longer try (11) need to be done to provide
prove (12) that this really works.

12. .
RUNNING
In ancient Greece running had a special importance as the
open (1) event of the Olympics and was part of public games.
Successful runners were held in great respect and reception (2)
the highest rewards. Running is a natural active (3), and it is also
a central part of many other sports like football and tennis. As
separate event like the marathon, it requires very special prepare
(4). If athletes are skill (5), they can use opportunities to save
vitality (6) seconds and increase their leading (7) over other compete (8). Regular
running improves general health and fitness, sharp (9) the senses and enhances
stamina. Many doctors comment on the popular (10) of running. They say the
combine (11) of exercise and running is the best way to stay in shape and lose
body fat. There is even a theory that regular running results in brain development
and better balanced person (12). Although this theory seems too simple (13) and
unscientific, it may provide a tempt (14) solution for people who are looking for
practice (15) ways to improve their health and develop positive attitude to the
world.
13. .
EXERCISE THE CASE AGAINST
We are always being told about the beneficial effects of regular and vigour (1)
physical exercise. But how often do you hear people talking about the
harm (2) aspects of this modern obsess (3) with health and fitness? It is time
people realized that exercising is an addict (4). The act of exercising releases a
chemical in the brain which has the pleasure (5) effect of making you feel both
relaxed and energy (6). It is, in fact, a drug. That is why real fitness-freaks feel the
need to work out increase (7) often, and become nerve (8) and depressed if they
are kept away from the gym for too long. So before you sign up for a years
member (9) at your local health club, ask yourself if you are really will (10) to
sacrifice your freedom and self-respect for the sake of fitness.

14. .

MOUNTAINEERING
Mountaineering is almost a unique sport, as the
climber is in compete (1) with nature itself rather than
with other humans. For this reason it is an extremely
danger (2) activity. Nature does not follow any rules or
regulate (3), and can often play fair (4). Profession (5)
mountaineers are quite aware of the risks involved in their
sport. Although they are adventure (6) spirits at heart,
they have a full understand (7) of the vital safety
measures necessary to keep them life (8), and never know (9) put themselves in
needless danger. On the other hand, they say that the sense of achieve (10) at the
end of a climb is directly proportion (11) to the risks involved. Even if you have
been active (12) in the past, this fact wont keep you from building you physical
capable (13) through mountaineering. Being included in groups that have specify
(14) objectives, such as reaching the top of a mountain, and being trained by a
friend (15) coach, who takes proud (16) in your results, will benefit you socially
as well as physically.
JOKES
They are marketing a new cure for baldness. It does not grow hair; it just
shrinks your head to fit what hair you have got.
Now I have started to lose my hair you should charge me less for a haircut.
On the contrary, I should charge you more for looking for it.
The most difficult part of a diet isnt watching what you eat. Its watching
what other people eat.
Walking is a pleasure only when you can afford to drive if you want to.
A lady saw an old man rocking merrily on his front porch. He had a happy
smile on his face. She approached him and asked him about his secret of a long
and happy life.
I smoke four packages of cigarettes a day, drink five bottles of Scotch a week,
eat a lot of fatty food and I never exercise.
Amazing! How old are you?
I am twenty-six, he replied.
