Ex 21.      Listen to John Keith, a fitness instructor, talking about four types of physical activity. Listen carefully and fill in the blanks with ONE word for each blank.

My name's John Keith and I've been a (1) ________________ instructor for more than ten years. Today I'd like to talk about the precautions we all need to take when doing different types of (2) ________________ activity.

Aerobic exercise seems very simple and easy to do. However, studies have shown that if you do your workout outdoors in the hot and sunny weather, your body can overheat and lose a lot of fluid. This can lead to heat stroke. You should drink a glass of water before a workout and then pause (3) ________________ to drink more. You should also exercise early in the morning when it's not too hot.

Next is swimming. It's verv important to be safe in the water. Swimming pools may look safe, but you should always test the pool water before jumping in. Cold water can make your blood (4) ________________ and heart rate go up. Make sure you have warmed up your body by stretching or jumping. Don't swim in bad weather, especially in rivers, lakes or the sea. If you are swimming and lightning strikes, vou risk serious (5) ________________ or death.

Now, how about yoga? This exercise may look easy and suitable for people of all ages. However, if it's not done (6) ________________, it can do more harm than good. You need to do some warm-up exercise such as stretching before you start your yoga practice. This will relax your (7) ________________ and prevent any damage to your joints.

The last type of physical activity is fitness walking. First, you need good shoes to keep you (8) ________________ and pain-free. Next, when you walk, don't look at your feet. This will slow you down and cause back pain. Finally, remember to bring water with you and drink at least 150 ml for every 15 minutes of walking.

That's all from me for today. Hope you find these safety precautions useful. Thanks for listening.

Ex 20. Read the following passage and Circle A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

HEALTH BENEFITS OF YOGA

Yoga is a healthy lifestyle. One of the benefits of yoga is that you can choose a yoga style that is suitable for your lifestyle, such as hot yoga, power yoga, relaxation yoga, etc.   If you are a yoga beginner, Hatha Yoga, which focuses on basic postures at a comfortable pace, would be great for you. If you want to increase strength through using more of your own body’s resistance, Power Yoga may be right for you. Whether you prefer you're at home, in a private session, watching a DVD or at a studio or gym, there are a huge variety of options available to suit your goals and needs.

Improved flexibility is one of the first and most obvious benefits of yoga.  During your first class, you probably won’t be able to touch your toes. But if you stick with it, you’ll notice a gradual loosening, and eventually, seemingly impossible poses will become possible. Each of the yoga poses is built to reinforce the muscles around the spine, the very center of your body, which is the core from which everything else operates. When the core is working properly, posture is improved, thus alleviating back, shoulder, and neck pain.

Strong muscles do more than look good.  They also protect us from conditions like arthritis and back pain, and help prevent falls in elderly people. And when you build strength through yoga, you balance it with flexibility. If you just went to the gym and lifted weights, you might build strength at the expense of flexibility.

Yoga gets your blood flowing. More specifically, the relaxation exercises you learn in yoga can help your circulation, especially in your hands and feet. Yoga also gets more oxygen to your cells, which function better as a result. Twisting poses are thought to wring out venous blood from internal organs and allow oxygenated blood to flow in once the twist is released.

Many studies found that a consistent yoga practice improved depression and led to greater levels of happiness and better immune function.

A.  when the spine is working properly, postures will become possible

B.   seemingly impossible poses will become possible

C.  it is the center of your body, from which other muscles operate

A.  we build strength with high expenses at the gym

B.   we don’t pay any attention to our appearance

Ex 21. Read the passage below and choose one correct answer for each question.

ACUPUNCTURE

Acupuncture involves the insertion of very thin needles through the patient's skin at specific points on the body, and the needles are inserted to various depths. The medical community is not in conclusive agreement about how acupuncture works scientifically. However, we know that it does have some therapeutic benefits, including pain relief.

According to WHO, acupuncture is effective for treating 28 conditions, while evidence indicates it may have an effective therapeutic value for many more. People with tension, headaches or migraines may find acupuncture to be very effective in alleviating their symptoms. Another study found that twice weekly acupuncture treatments relieve debilitating symptoms of zerostomia - severe dry mouth - among patients treated with head and neck cancer.

Traditional Chinese medicine explains that health is the result of a harmonious balance of the complementary extremes of yin and yang of the life force known as chi or qi. Qi is said to flow through pathways in the human body. Through 350 acupuncture points in the body, these pathways and energy flows may be accessed.  Illness is said to be the consequence of an imbalance of the forces. If needles are inserted into these points with appropriate combinations, it is said that the energy flow can be brought back into proper balance.

In Western societies and several other parts of the world, acupuncture is explained, including concepts of neuroscience. Acupuncture points are seen by Western practitioners as places where nerves, muscles and connective tissue can be stimulated.  Acupuncture practitioners say that the stimulation increases blood flow while at the same time triggering the activity of our own body's natural painkillers.

A.  the energy flow can be brought back to patients

B.   energy can go through acupuncture points in the body

C.  patients can get proper balance between yin and yang

D.  illness causes the imbalance of qi throughout the body

4.   According to Western medicine, the insertion of needles through acupuncture points in the body may ____.

A.  increase blood flow and stimulate our instinct of pain relief

B.   stimulate the effect of painkillers in our bodies for treatment

C.  be used only in China and the Far East not the Western countries

Ex 22. Read the passage below and then choose the best answer (A, B, C or D) that fits best for the gap.

      Everyone knows that exercise is good for the body and the mind. We all want to keep fit and look good, but too many of us take  (1) ___________ the wrong sport and quickly lose interest. So now fitness experts are advising people to choose an activity that matches their character.

    For instance, those (2)______________ like to be with other people often enjoy golf or squash, or playing for a basketball, football or hockey team. (3) _____________, you may prefer to go jogging or swimming if you’re happier on your own.

    Do you like competition? Then try something like running, or a racket sport such as tennis. If, on the other hand, (4) _____________isn’t important to you, then activities like dancing can be an enjoyable (5)______________ without the need to show you’re better than everyone else.

    Finally, think about whether you find it easy to make yourself do exercise. If so, sports like weight training at home and cycling are fine. If not, book a skiing holiday, Taekwondo lessons, or a tennis court. You’re much more likely to do something you’ve already paid for!

Ex 23. Read the passage and decide if each sentence is true (T) or false (F)

NORMAL DIET FOR ADOLESCENTS – 12 TO 18 YEARS OF AGE

1. Changing Food Habits

Teenagers are often very busy with school, work, and sports schedules. Help your teenager plan his day if he cannot be home for meals. Send healthy snacks or packed lunches with him. This will help him avoid filling up on "junk" foods or high fat foods. They may need extra snacks to take with them or meals they can prepare quickly.

Your teenager still learns from your healthy eating habits. Be an example and praise his good food choices whenever you can. Never criticise the way your child looks at this time of life. Teenagers can easily become too worried about their body image. If they are eating too much or too little, it can affect their growth. Talk with your doctor if you are worried about your teenager's eating habits.

2. Food Group Choices

Give your teenager at least one serving per day of a high vitamin C food. Examples are citrus fruits and juices, tomatoes, potatoes, and green peppers. Your teenager also needs one serving per day of a high vitamin A food. This includes spinach, winter squash, carrots, or sweet potatoes.

Choose lean meats, fish, and poultry foods for your teenager. They are a source of proteins young people need in the period of growth. Also, give your teenager 2% milk and low-fat dairy foods. Avoid fried foods and high fat desserts; serve them only on special occasions. This will lower his risk for heart disease when he is older.

 

Ex 24. Read the passage below and choose one correct answer for each question.

America’s foods began to affect the rest of the world. American emphasis on convenient and rapid consumption is best represented in fast foods such as hamburgers, French fries, and soft drinks. By the 1960s and 1970s fast foods became one of America’s strongest exports as franchises for Mc Donalds and Burger King spread through Europe and other parts of the world, including Russia and China. Traditional meals cooked at home and consumed at a leisurely pace _ gave way to quick lunches and dinners eaten on the run as other countries imitated American cultural patterns.

By the late 20th century Americans had become more conscious of their diets, eating more poultry, fish and vegetables, and fewer eggs and less beef. Cooks began to rediscover many world cuisines in forms closer to their original. In California, chefs combined fresh fruits and vegetables available with ingredients and spices borrowed from immigrant kitchens to create an innovative cooking style that was lighter than traditional French, but more interesting and varied than typical American cuisine.

Ex 27. Read the following passage and Circle A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

Super Size Me is a 2004 film by Morgan Spurlock, in which he documents his experiment to eat only McDonald's fast food three times a day, every day, for thirty days.

Spurlock made himself a short list of rules for the experiment, including an obligation to eat all of the three meals he ordered. He also had to ‘Super Size’, which means accepting a giant portion every time the option was offered to him. He ended up vomiting after the first Super Size meal he finished, after taking nearly twenty minutes to consume it.

After five days Spurlock put on almost 5kg, and he soon found himself feeling depressed, with no energy. The only thing that got rid of his headaches and made him feel better was another McDonald's meal, so his doctors told him he was addicted. More seriously, around day twenty, he started experiencing heart palpitations and one of the doctors detected liver problems. However, in spite of his doctor's advice, Spurlock continued to the end of the month and achieved a total weight gain of 11kg. His body mass index also increased from a healthy 23.2 to an overweight 27.

It took Spurlock fifteen months to recover from his experiment and return to his original weight, but the film also had a wider impact. Just after its showing in 2004, McDonald's phased out the Super Size option and healthier options like salads appeared on the menu.

Unfortunately, McDonald's denied the connection between the film and the changes, but it is interesting to note how closely they coincided with the release of the film.

Ex 28. Read the following passage and Circle A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

  In 2002, several obese teenagers in the USA sued McDonald's, claiming that the company was responsible for making them fat. They argued that McDonald's deliberately misled them into thinking that their cheeseburgers and other products were healthy and nutritious food. They claimed that the company had not warned them about the health problems that can result from eating too much salty, high-fat food and drinking too many sugary drinks: diabetes, high blood pressure and obesity. The mother of one of the children, who at the age of 15 weighed more than 180 kilograms, said in her statement:  I always believed McDonald's was healthy for my son.'

  McDonald's rejected the claim that they were responsible for these teenagers’ health problems. ‘People don't go to sleep thin and wake up obese,' said McDonald's lawyer, Brad Lerman. 'The understanding of what hamburgers and French fries do has been with us for a long, long time,’ he added. The judge agreed, and dismissed the case, saying: 'It is not the place of the law to protect people against their own excesses.' In other words, if people choose to eat a lot of unhealthy food, they can't blame the company that sold it to them.

  Other similar lawsuits against fast food companies in the USA have also failed. In 2005, the US House of Representatives passed a bill which became known as the 'Cheeseburger Bill'.

  It made it much harder for obese people to take legal action against the food industry. However, the bill has not ended the arguments about responsibility. There is some scientific evidence to suggest that fast food is addictive, and harmful too. So is selling fast food the same, in a way, as drug-dealing?

1.       Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

A. Obesity - who is to blame?                        B. Is fast food addictive?

C. Is fast food really healthy?                                    D. How to get rid of fast food

2.       According to the obese teenagers in the USA who sued McDonald's, which of the following health problems was NOT mentioned?

A. diabetes                     B. hypertension    C. obesity                                        D. heart disease

3.       In paragraph 2, the word "rejected” is closest in meaning to........

A. accepted                    B. denied              C. ignored                                        D. agreed

4.       In paragraph 2, the word "it" refers to........

A. law                            B. healthy food     C. unhealthy food   D. bill

5.       What happens if people choose to eat a lot of unhealthy food?

A. The company will be responsible for their health problems.

A. not famous                B. not important   C. not successful                      D. not proud

7. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true about fast food?
