II.  Read the text, then decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F).

      These are some easy habits that help you stay healthy and live longer.

      Go for a jog

      Exercise is key to good health. Aerobic activity, like running, is crucial for getting your blood pumping and your heart working. A recent study showed that people who run have 25 to 40 per cent reduced risk of early death, and live about three years longer.

      Get more sun - but not too much

      The “sunshine vitamin” – vitamin D, that is – has been shown to fight to disease, improve bone health, and prevent depression. Concerns over skin cancer are well-founded, and sunblock is generally a good idea. But getting 15 to 30 minutes of sun exposure a day should be adequate for vitamin D production.

      Stress less

      The impact of stress on our overall health is huge, so reducing stress is one way to lower our risk of many deadly diseases.

      Eat more fruits and veggies

      If you want to live longer, eat more fruits and vegetables. The vitamins, minerals, and most importantly, the fibre help control satiety so you do not need to eat much of the animal foods. High fibre diets promote lower cholesterol levels, and reduce the risk of heart disease and cancers such as colon cancer.

1.   One of the most important things you can do to stay healthy is to exercise.

2.   Vitamin D comes from the sun.

3.   Getting too much sun can be harmful.

4.   Stress doesn’t impact on your health.

5.   Fruits and vegetables contain vitamins, minerals and fibre.

IX. Read the text carefully then decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F).

Many students listen to music while they are studying, and say that it helps them learn. Many parents and teachers say that music is just distracting, and that students are better studying in silence. Who is right? In a study, some scientists asked three groups of students to listen to a piece of music by Mozart or a relaxation tape for ten minutes, or just sit in silence for ten minutes. The students then did a ‘spatial reasoning’ test (a test about remembering shapes and imagining looking at objects from different directions), and the ones who had listened to the Mozart did better in the test. Taking part in musical activities and learning to play an instrument can improve verbal memory (the ability to remember words). The longer the training lasts, the better the improvement in the memory. So, there’s no excuse to give up the piano lessons! 

53. Many students think it’s helpful to listen to music when studying. 

54. Teachers say music helps students to better concentrate. 

55. The students who had listened to Mozart did better in the spatial reasoning test.
