III. Read the passage carefully and choose the best option for each sentence.
Most of us lead unhealthy lives: we spend far too much time sitting down. If, in addition, we are careless about our diets, our bodies soon become flabby and our systems sluggish. Then the guilt feelings start : “I must go on a diet”, “ I must try to lose weight” “ I must get more fresh air and exercise”, “I must stop smoking”, “I must try to keep fit” . There are some aspects of our unhealthy lives that we cannot avoid. I’m thinking of such features of modern urban life as pollution, noise, rushed meals and stress. But keeping fit is a way to minimize the effects of these evils.
The usual suggestion to a person who is looking for a way to keep fit is to take some sports. While it is true that every weekend you will find people playing football and hockey in the local park, they are outnumbered a hundred to one by the people who are simply watching them. It is an illusion to think that you will get fit by going to watch the football match every Saturday, unless you count the effort required to fight your way through the crowds to get to the best seats.For those who do not particularly enjoy competitive sports – and it is especially difficult to do so if you are not good at them – there are such solitary activities as cycling, walking and swimming. What often happens, though, is that you do them in such a leisurely way, so slowly, that is doubtful if you are doing yourself much good, apart from the fact that you have at least managed to get up out of your armchair. Of course you can be very thorough about exercise, even fanatical. Many sports shops now sell frightening pieces of apparatus, chest-expanders and other mysterious gadgets of shiny spring steel, which, according to the advertisements, will bring you up to an Olympic standard of fitness, provided that you follow a rigorous and regular programme of exercises. Such programmes generally involve long periods of time bending these curious bits of metal into improbable shapes.
It all strikes me as utterly boring and also time-consuming. Somebody suggested recently that all such effort was pointless anyway because if you spend half an hour every day jogging round the local park, you will add to your life exactly the number of hours that you wasted doing the ‘jogging’ in the first place. The argument is false even if the facts are correct, but there is no doubt that exercise in itself can be boring.
Even after you have found a routine for keeping in shape, through sport or gymnastics or isometrics, you are still only half way to good health, because, according to the experts, you must also master the art of complete metal and physical relaxation. Now, this does not mean snoozing in the armchair or going dancing ( which is a good form of exercise in itself ) . It has to do with deep breathing , emptying your mind of all thoughts, meditation, and so on.
Yoga, as practiced in the West, is the most widely known and popular of the systems for achieving the necessary state of relaxation. Contrary to popular belief, you do not have to learn a lot of strange words or become a Buddhist in order to benefit from Yoga. It seems ironical, though, that as our lives have improved in a material sense, we have found it increasingly necessary to go back to forms of activity – physical effort on the one hand, and relaxation on the other – which were the natural way of life of our forefathers.1. Unfitness is the result of ___________.
A. lack of fresh air and exercise B. overeating, smoking and living in town
C. not eating properly and not getting enough exercise D. not taking part in sports
2. Pollution, noise and stress are examples of ___________.
A. causes of unfitness B. bad features of living in towns C. the things we must avoid if we are to stay healthy D. industrial life and work
3. Our reaction to being out of condition is to ___________.
A. give up smoking and go on a diet B. start a programme of keep-fit exercises
C. make resolutions to lead a healthier life D.take up a sport
4. A lot of people who go to the park at the weekend are ___________.
A. football players B. football spectators C. keep-fit enthusiasts D. unfit or unhealthy

6. The reason we don’t get much out of solitary sports such as walking is that we do not _________.A. do them often enough B. have the encouragement of others
C. take them seriously enough D. do them vigorously enough
7. The writer does not like keep-fit programmes because he thinks ___________.
A. they take up too much time B. there are much easier ways of getting fit
C. they are a waste of time D. the apparatus is very silly
8. To be healthy we must ___________.
A. keep fit and active B. keep fit and learn to relax
C. be active and practise Yoga D. be very careful about what we eat and drink
9. Many people believe that in order to practise Yoga ___________.
A. you must learn a special vocabulary B. it is better to become a Buddhist
C. you must learn to relax completely D. you must wear special clothing
10. Our forefathers were healthy because ___________.
A. their way of life involved both exercise and relaxation B. they were careful to get plenty of fresh air and keep fit
C. they lived in the country and spent time out of doors D. they had simple work to do and very little to worry about

The more people travel, the bigger impact they may have on the environment. How can we reduce it while travelling? Here are some advice.
Reduce your carbon footprint while travelling. Since flying produces more carbon footprint than any other means of transport, you should only fly when the trip is long. During the trip, you should walk, cycle or use public transport as much as you can. This not only helps to keep the environment clean, but also allows you to enjoy the beauty of nature and interact with local people.
Choose eco-friendly activities that benefit animals and the ecosystem. Avoid activities that allow you to touch or ride animals because they disturb their natural patterns and attract many people. Instead, visit wildlife parks or organic farms. These will help you understand and respect the nature more and stop doing things that harm the environment.
Answer:
1. interact ->b: to talk or do things with other people.
2. benefit ->a: to be good for someone or something.
3. disturb ->c: to interrupt what people are doing and make them angry.
