  When we talk about living a healthy life, there is a famous old saying, you are what you eat. In fact, it is not just what people eat, but their whole lifestyle, which is important. The best way to stay healthy is to live a balanced lifestyle. Are you living a balanced lifestyle both physically and mentally?

Physical Balance

  The human body needs physical exercise at least once a day. In today’s world, many working people spend most of their day sitting at a desk. To add more exercise to your daily life, try to stop what you are doing about once an hour and stretch or take a short walk. After work, take a brisk walk or go to the gym. Your body will thank you for it.

  For good health, nutritionists say we should eat at least four servings of raw food a day. By eating many colorful fruits and vegetables, you can be sure you are getting the correct nutrients. Have a red apple with your breakfast, a green salad at lunch, some carrots for your afternoon snack, and grapes for dessert instead of cake or cookies. Of course, for a healthy balance, your body also needs other foods.

Mental Balance

  Mentally balanced people are usually emotionally balanced. They are generally happy with the things they have. They do not need to have more and more things. A mentally balanced person also feels good about who they are. They don’t worry about the past, and generally have good relationships with the people around them. That doesn’t mean that mentally healthy people never have negative feelings, but they don’t let these types of feelings control them or their behavior. It’s normal for people to feel their emotions-life always has its challenges and tragedies. But mentally healthy people face those challenges and resolve them quickly instead of allowing them to take control of their lives. By taking a little time each day to eat well, exercise, and clear your mind, anyone can live a more balanced and healthier lifestyle.

Which statement is true, according to the article?

A.   only be eaten raw. 

B. A healthy, balanced lifestyle is difficult for most people. 

C. People should exercise at least four times a day. 

D. Mentally healthy people also face challenges and tragedies.

Napping May Improve Learning, Memory

March 16 is International Sleep Day. And we should all celebrate the act of sleeping. Studies have shown that a good night’s rest helps us stay healthy, both mentally and physically. And researchers say sleep is probably the best tool we have for memory and learning.

Michael Twery is director of the National Center on Sleep Disorders Research at America’s National Institutes of Health. Twery is an expert on the science of sleep and sleep disorders. He told me that a good night’s sleep helps to learn better.

“Getting a good night’s sleep is important for the learning and memory process. It’s important because it stores the training exercises and the learning exercises into our more permanent memory while we’re sleeping 7-8 hours in bed. And then the next morning when you wake up your mind is better prepared to act on that information.” But what about getting rest during the middle of the day? Short periods of sleep may help our brains work better, or so says a recent study on napping.

Read the passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer the correct answer to each of the questions.

For many people the language of the Internet is English. “World, Wide, Web"-Three English Words, was the name of an article by Michael Specter in the New York Times a few years ago. The article went on to say: “If youwant to take full advantage of the Internet, there is only one real way to do it: learn English.”

In general, it is not difficult to learn to use Internet services. But although Internet services are rather easy to use, you will have considerable difficulties if you are not familiar with English. In fact, a good knowledge of English is one  of the most important aspects that help you use the Internet. Learning to use a new Internet service may take a few hours, a few days or some weeks, but it takes years to learn a language so that you can use it fluently and confidently. Of course, when you know some English, you can learn more just by using it on the Internet. But at least your English should be good enough to understand commonly used words and to know what to do on the Internet.

31. It _____ to learn to use Internet services.

32. According to the article by Michael Specter, you should _____ to take full advantage of the Internet.

33. Learning to use a language fluently and confidently may take _____.

34. If you do not know English very well, you will _____ when using the Internet.

A. be laughed at                 B. have many difficulties

C. feel more comfortable              D. spend a few days

35. Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?

A. “English and the Internet                                                       B. “Ways to take full advantage of the Internet”

C. “Practising your English on the Internet”                             D. “How to use Internet services”
