Each of us can live strong, healthy, energetic lives for a long time to come. The key？Actually, there are many of them.
Eat fewer calories, but more food
Slimming down can help prevent disease, and cutting way back on the amount you eat may even slow the aging process. When nutrition researchers invited themselves over for dinner in kitchens across the globe-from Greece to Japan to the state of Pennsylvania--they discovered a stomach-satisfying secret to good health：Pile your plate high with vegetables and fruits, add respectable parts of beans and whole grains, and ignore high-calorie food like cheeseburgers, cream sauces, and fatty meats.
Use exercise as an anti-aging vaccine
Exercise can help you gain a better quality of life as you age. It's no secret that physical activity strengthens muscles, burn calories, and puts a happy bounce in your step. But recently, researchers discovered a new, extra benefit：Exercise acts as a powerful way against the aging process itself. When exercise physiologists put healthy people aged 60 to 85 on Weight-training programs for six months then tested them for signs of free-radical(自由基) damage, they were surprised by the results. By the end of the study, low-intensity exercisers had a drop in free-radical damage, while high-intensity exercisers had a slight increase.
Find something interesting to do
Life is always busy no matter what your age. But the truth is, when people are retired, time usually does become more available for adults after 60. With this time come choices. The easy one is merely to relax：watch more TV, eat out more often, talk on the phone as much as you want. The better choice? Discover something more meaningful to devote yourself to and do it wholeheartedly.

Our news is constantly filled with the reality of death and dying. And each of us, if we live long enough, experiences the loss of persons we loved. Children ages eight through ten were asked what they thought about death,and these are some of their answers:
“When you die,God takes care of you like your mother did. When you were alive,only God doesn’t yell at you all the time.’’(Beth,9)
“When you die,they bury you in the ground and your soul goes to heaven,but your body can’t go to heaven because it’s too crowded there already.” (Jimmy, 8)
“Only the good people go to heaven. The other people go where it’s hot all the time like in Florida. ” (Judy,9)
“Doctors help you so you won’t die until you pay their bills.”(Stephanie,9)
I've observed that the loss of a loved one can be one of the most difficult things we humans can face. I’ve known friends of sick and dying people to sit by a bedside or in a hospital room for hours,even days, at a time. I've seen food in homes of people who are dying overflow from kitchen to dining room—food brought by comforting friends from church and con cerned neighbours. And I've observed friends just listen for as long as it takes.
When U.S. Congressman Sam Rayburn (1882—1961) discovered that he was ill,he announced to the House of Representatives he was going home to Texas for medical tests. Some wondered why he did not stay in Washington where there were excellent medical facilities. His answer was a beautiful tribute (颂词) to friendship:"Bonham is a place where people know it when you’re sick,and where they care when you die. ”
No one wants to go through difficult times alone. So Rayburn traded the best of medical technology for the closeness of loving friends. He knew that good friends are good medicine. Often the best.
1.According to the passage, the four children's answers show .
A. they have the same idea on death

Many of us live with a roommate at times. Sometimes, there can be problems.Such as whose turn it is to take out the trash, or who should be the one to clear up after dinner?1.
2.There' s always someone to talk to, so you need never be lonely.
Besides these obvious benefits, there are some you may not notice.3.when living with others.To examine the effect of living alone,Australian university researchers did much research and found that people living alone tended to eat less fresh food including fruits and vegetables,which can have side effects on long-term health.

Most of us would be traveling for the rest of our lives if traveling abroad were not so expensive. But there is no need for you to cut down on the number of holidays you’re having this year. Below are some of the cheapest places to travel to this year.
Sri Lanka
Great seafood, beautiful beaches, and amazing jungles await you in Sri Lanka. It is definitely one of the cheaper places to travel to as well.

Hungary

Price of accommodation and food is at an all-time low, so this might definitely be a great time for you to visit!

There are a lot of differences in life in the US that you can only learn by living here. However, we will try to introduce you to some of the more important cultural differences.
Personal Space
When two people are talking to each other, they tend to stand a distance apart. Each person has an invisible boundary (界限) around their body into which other people may not come.
Interestingly，the average personal distance varies from culture to culture. Americans tend to require more personal space than in other cultures. So if you try to get too close to an American during your conversation, he or she will feel that you are “in their face” and will try to back away.
Try to avoid physical contact while you are speaking, since this may also lead to discomfort.
Tipping(小费)
Restaurants do not include a service charge in the bill, so you should tip the waiter 15% of the total bill. If service is slow or particular bad, some Americans will tip only 10%. If service is particularly good, it is appropriate to tip 20%. If service is so bad that you will never eat in the restaurant again, leave two cents. It tells the waiter that you haven’t forgotten to leave a tip. Tipping is only appropriate in restaurants which offer table service. You do not tip the cashier in a fast food restaurant.
Gestures
To wave goodbye or hello to someone, raise your hand and wave it from side to side, not front to back. Wave the whole hand, not just the fingers. Waving the hand front to back or the fingers up and down means “no”, “stop”, or “go away’. Holding your hand up with the palm facing forward but no movement means “stop”.
If you want to point at an object, extend the index finger and use it to point at the object. It is not polite to point at people.
Although showing your fist with the thumb up or your open hand with the tips of the thumb and index finger together forming an “O” means “OK”， these are stereotypes (老套). Americans understand these gestures, but they are mainly used by actors in movies, not in real life.
1. If an American to whom you are speaking backs away a little, you’d better __________.
A. not try to close the gap B. stop talking with him or her
C. back away too D. ask him or her what happened
2.Which of the following statements is TRUE when you eat out in the US?
A. The tip always ranges from 10% to 20% of the total bill.
B. You needn’t leave a tip if you will never eat in the restaurant.
C. It’s unnecessary to tip the waiter in a restaurant.
D. Tipping is not necessary in fast food restaurants.
3.Which of the following gestures is not used in Americans’ daily life?
A B. C. D.
.
4.We can learn from the passage that in the US ___________________.
A. it’s natural to touch each other in a conversation.
B. it’s polite to leave a tip though the service is bad.
C. there is only one gesture meaning “stop”.
D. Americans use the same gesture to point at people and objects.
