3.An interesting project called Blue Zones is recording the lifestyle secrets of the communities withthe highest, hest concentrations of centenarians in the world.The people in the five regions in Europe, Latin America,Asia and the US that live to be 100 have alot going for them. Genes probably play a small role, but these folks also have strong socialties ,tightly-knit families and lots of opportunities to exercise.As we were examining the dietary secrets of the Blue Zones, as described in author Dan Buettner"s latest book, The Blue Zones Solution, we were struck by how essential tea drinking is in theseregions. In fact, Buettner' s Blue Zones Beverage Rule--a kind of guideline summarized from his 15or so years of studying these places--is:" Drink coffee for breakfast, tea in the afternoon, wine at 5p. tm"Science has plenty to say about the healthful virtues of green tea. Researchers are most enthusi-astic almt the components in green tea, as well as foods like cocoa. Why might they help so many Okina~vans in Japan break 1007 Some components in green tea can lower the risk of stroke,heart disease attd several cancers. One review study also found that drinking green tea can slightly improve metabolism (新陈代谢).If you find yourself on the island of Ikaria, the Greek Blue Zone in the middle of the Aegean, youwon't be offered any tea made with tea leaves. Instead, Ikarians typically make their daily cup oftea with just one fresh herb that they have picked themselves that day--either rosemary, wildsage,oregano,nmrjotmn,mint or dandelion,all plants that may have anti-inflammatory (消炎的)properties,which may help lower blood pressure. This could explain Ikaria' s very low dementia (痴呆)rate,since high blood pressure is a risk factor for the disease.What does the underlined word "centenarians" in Paragraph 1 refer to?

In china, it is relatively usual to ask people their age, but in the west, this question is generally regarded as impolite. This is particularly true 61 women, and even more 62 if the inquirer is a man. However, it is 63 to ask children their age, and some adults may not mind 64 either. In fact, some elderly people are quite happy to 65 their age, especially if they feel they look young 66 their age. Nevertheless, it is not very wise to ask a(n) 67 question like ―How old are you?‖if elderly people want to talk about their age, and perhaps receive a compliment on how young they look, they may easily 68 the topic themselves, and ask the other person to 69

how old they are. 70 such a situation, it is quite acceptable to discuss age 71.They normally expect to be complimented on their youthfulness, though rather than 72 that they look very old! 73 westerners do not usually ask people directly how old they are, this does not 74 that they are not interested to know how old other people

are. They may ask 75 for the information, 76 they may try to 77 the topic indirectly. Sometimes discussions about educational 78 and the number of years of working experience may provide some 79 , but this is not always the 80 .65.

We spent a day in the country and picked a lot of flowers. Our car was fullof flowersinside! On the way home we had to stop at traffic lights, and there my wife saw the bookshelf. It stood outside a furniture (家具) shop.“Buy it,”she said at once.“We'll carry ithome on the roof- rack (车顶架). I've always wanted one like that. " What could Ido? Tenminutes lateiwas twenty dollars poorer, and the bookshelf was tied on to the roof-rack.It was tall and narrow, quite heavy too. As it was getting darker, I drove slowly. Otherdrivers seemed more polite than usual that evening. The police even stopped traffic to letus through. Carrying furniture was a good idea. After a time my wife said, "There'sa longline of cars behind. Why don't they overtake （超车)?"Just at that time a police car did overtake. The two officers （警官）inside looked at us seriously when they went past. Butthen, with a kind smile they asked us to follow their car through the busy traffic. The police car stopped at our village church (教堂). One of the offices came to me.

"Right, sir, " he said. "Do you need any more help now?"

I didn't quite understand. "Thanks, officer, " I said. "You've been very kind. I livejust down the road. "

He was looking at our things: first at the flowers, then at the bookshelf. " Well,Well, " he said and laughed. "It's a bookshelf you've got there! We thought it was ...something else. " My wifebegan to laugh. Suddenly I understood why the police drove here I smiled at the officer"Yes, it's a bookshelfbut thanks again. "1 drove homeas fastas i cloud 3.

When you stretch out in the sun you can do one of the three things: you can use no sun tan oil, an ordinary sun tan oil; or Bergasol.

If you don't use any sun tan oil when you're in

the sun, you will burn surprisingly quickly. If you use an ordinary sun tan oil, you will protect your skin to a lesser or greater degree.How much protection depends on the "protection-factor number" on the bottle. Some oils block out so many of the sun's rays and you can stay in the sun all day without burning but you won't go very brown,either.

Bergasol will protect your skin like an ordinary

sun tan oil. It also has a tan accelerator that speeds up the rate at which the sun activates the skin cells that produce melanin(黑色素). It is melanin that gives the skin its brown colour. Bergasol enables you to go brown faster,am as the days pass the difference will become more obvious.Unfortunately, this special formulation isn't Cheap to prepare.So Bergasol is rather more expensive than ordinary sun tan oil. However, the price looks more attractive as you do.

Bergasoi It makes you go brown faster

Protection Many people imagine that "cover-up" means you don't get a tan. Nothing to show for your holiday.

Not so. With "cover-up", you can get brown if

you want to. The point of "cover-up" is to protect your skin from the harmful rays of the sun which,according to the experts ,make your skin look older.

That's what Solex Cover-up is all about--protection for your skin. It has a Sun Protection Factor 8,which makes it suitable for anyone. Find out how it works for you by consulting the Solex Sun Chart.
