VI. Read the passage and then decide whether the statements are true (T) or false (F).
In Japan, take off your shoes at the entrance to all homes, and most businesses and hotels. Usually, a rack will be provided to store your shoes, and pair of guest slippers will be put nearby; many Japanese bring a pair of indoor slippers just in case, though. Never wear slippers when you need to step onto a tatami mat (used in most Japanese homes and hotels) and be careful to remove the toilet slippers waiting for you in the bathroom. It is extremely bad form, for example, to reenter the main room of a house wearing slippers that have been running across a dirty area. Unlike in western cultures, the Japanese bath is used after you have washed and rinsed and feel like soaking in extra-hot water for 10, 20, 30 minutes. If you happen to be invited into a Japanese household, you will be given the honor of using the bath first, usually before dinner. Be extra careful so as not to dirty the water in any way because of its importance.
Questions:
1. Only take off your shoes when you enter a Japanese house.
2. Be careful with your slippers when you come back to the main room.
3. You mustn’t wear slippers stepping onto a tatami mat.
4. The Japanese bath is also used for washing and rinsing.
5. The bath plays an important part in Japanese life.

All children should be physically active for at least one hour a day. Parents can help by encouraging their children to find activities they enjoy, and building physical activity into family life. Most children love running around a part or playing in a playground.

One reason why physical activity in childhood is so important is because it helps the child to maintain a healthy weight.

But that’s not the only reason: physical activity is part of the way children discover the world, and themselves. it helps build strong muscles and healthy bones, as well as improve self-confidence.
