Прочитайте текст и выберите вариант ответа, соответствующий содержанию прочитанного текста. Укажите выбранный вариант.
(1) Joggers who get up early and run through the park, executives who try to work off stress with a game of squash, and people who do body-
34
building may all be shortening their lives. According to Peter Axt, a German researcher and ex-marathon runner, laziness is good for you.
(2)“No top sportsman,” says Axt, “has lived to a very advanced age.” Among the examples of athletes, who have died young, he mentions Jim Fixx, the author of The Complete Book of Running, and the man who almost single-handedly launched the American fitness revolution. He died at the age of 52.
(3)With his daughter Michaela, a doctor, he has written a book called The Joy of Laziness. It says that there are three keys to long life: to play less sport, to reduce stress, and to eat less food. He gives an example of an Italian village with unusual longevity of its people. It seems to owe its communal good health to following the Axt principles. No one runs, siestas stretch through the afternoon from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., and the main activity seems to be sitting in the shade or gossiping.
(4)The Axts’ ideas are based on research which argues that animals have only a limited amount of energy. Those who use up energy quickly live for a shorter time than those who conserve energy. So an office worker who wants to compensate for a stressful day by going to the gym is in fact multiplying his problems.
(5)However, the author believes that light exercise is beneficial. “I jog gently for 20 minutes three or four times a week,” he says, “but I have no time for men over fifty who insist on running several kilometers a day.”
А36) The idea suggested in the article is that
1)too much sport can hardly be called a healthy lifestyle.
2)too much laziness can hardly do you any good.
3)too much attention is paid to dieting instead of doing sports.
А37) The example of an Italian village mentioned in the article shows clearly that
1)gossiping is a healthy habit.
2)being in no hurry makes life longer.
3)having a siesta is not as important.
А38) The second paragraph of the article can serve as evidence that 1) a fitness revolution can lead to disastrous results.
35
2)running and jogging are essentially the same thing.
3)professional sport and long healthy living don’t mix.
А39) According to the article, a sure way to shorten your life is
1)to engage in bodybuilding.
2)to take up regular exercise.
3)to reduce stress and activity.

Прочитайте текст. Подберите заголовок к каждому абзацу в соответствии с его содержанием.
(A43)___If you want to stay healthy or get healthy, a hospital is the very last place you want to find yourself: very often they are unhappy, unhealthy places that are infested with antibiotic-resistant superbugs. Hospitals frequently serve disease-promoting foods
36
and lack health-enhancing sunlight, and potentially deadly mistakes with pharmaceuticals or surgical procedures now appear to be frighteningly common in U.S. hospitals.
(A44) ___Certainly, emergency rooms in hospitals play an important role in urgent care for injuries and accidents — and emergency room physicians do an amazing job saving lives – but for people with chronic, degenerative diseases, a hospital is sometimes a very dangerous place to be.
(A45) ___Even though doctors and health authorities try to pass off western medicine as being “advanced” or “modern,” the whole system is actually pathetically outdated and stuck in the germ theory of disease. Western medicine has yet to even acknowledge the role of nutrition in preventing disease – something that has been scientifically documented for at least the last several decades. Western medicine fails to acknowledge mind-body medicine and hilariously believes the mind plays virtually no role in healing. Neither does western medicine acknowledge the bio energy field of living systems, nor that organ transplants carry memories.
(A46) ___Western medicine doesn’t believe in disease prevention. Rather, the industry believes in screening while calling it prevention. But screening isn’t prevention by even the wildest stretch of the imagination. In fact, virtually all the popular screening methodologies actually promote diseases. Mammography, for example, emits so much radiation that it causes breast cancer in tens of thousands of women each year.
(A47) ___They say nowadays more research is needed to find “cures”. This is especially hilarious because western medicine does not believe in any “cure” for any disease. Drug companies make money from sick people, not cured people. A patient cured is a patient lost. It is far more profitable to keep patients sick and pretend to “manage” their disease through a lifetime of pharmaceuticals. So when drug companies and disease non-profits claim to be searching for a “cure,” don’t expect too much.
(A48) ___When it comes to western health care, there are more lies, of course, than those enlisted, but these lies are perhaps the most relevant to your own health decisions. By avoiding being suck-
37
ered in by these lies, you can take charge of your own health and avoid the health care scam by staying healthy! Staying healthy isn’t as difficult as you think, and it doesn’t require health insurance or disease screening. It only requires making informed, intelligent decisions about what to eat, what to put on your skin and how to get more sunshine and physical exercise. Once you do these basic things, you’ll find that you are no longer held victim by a western medicine health care system.
