Read the text and fill in the gaps with the right phrases. There are TWO EXTRA phrases you don’t need to use. Would you want to live …….. FOREVER? For thousands of years human beings have dreamt of cheating death and the aging process. In their fantasy world, and beautiful in old age. Well, it may sound incredible, but there are some scientists the technology to make this dream come true! Sounds like science fiction? Maybe. But remember that technology gives us the ability to do things today that people living only a few decades ago would have considered magic. Therefore, there is no reason will make all this possible. Some scientists believe that medical technology is moving so fast that by the end of this century, advanced anti-aging technologies will be available, or maybe even thousands of years if they want to. Of course, few people would want to live to 1000 if they had to spend hundreds of years looking and feeling like a 90-year-old. But some researchers think medicine will be able to keep people looking and feeling as beautiful and fit at 500 years old ! Naturally, the possibility of living so long raises many problems. If people don’t die, how will the Earth cope when it gets so overcrowded? Many people believe that scientists should not develop anti-aging technology, and that , as it has been doing for millions of years. Of course, most scientists believe that humans will never possess such technology. But if living to 1000 becomes possible, do you think it would be a dream… or a nightmare? And, if you had the choice, would you choose to live forever?

Read the text and mark the statements True, False or Not stated. Teenagers and Stress Recent studies show that almost every teenager in the USA has felt some sort of stress and that many are seriously stressed out. In fact, it is believed that up to 33% of teenagers feel stress on a daily basis while 67% feel stressed out at least once a week. Not surprisingly, 78% of the teenagers interviewed said that school was the main source of their stress. So why is stress so widespread and what can be done to prevent it or lessen its effects? Stress is a feeling of being under emotional pressure and is the body’s way of attempting to deal with a tough situation. It can be caused by anything from a real physical threat such as bullying to a simple fear of making a presentation in front of the class and can affect how you think, feel, behave and how your body functions. When the body feels stressed it produces hormones to make you more alert and capable of handling the situation. These hormones speed up the metabolism by increasing breathing and heart rate and raising blood pressure. A reasonable amount of stress is good for the body. It keeps you on your toes and improves your performance. However, frequent stress causes the nervous system to remain on alert and to produce excessive amounts of stress hormones. This can have an adverse effect on your performance, leave you feeling tired and weakened and eventually cause health problems such as acne, high blood pressure, depression or other diseases. Obviously, managing stress should be on everyone’s mind. One of the best ways to minimise stress is by doing moderate exercise. Just ten minutes of moderate exercise is enough to improve your mood, but by doing 30 minutes of exercise a day you’re likely to gain all the benefits of keeping fit and feeling good, while improving your chances of coping with stress. So, take time to relax, but instead of slouching on the couch why don’t you get out there and make yourself feel good? You’re worth it!
