A
Dr David Weeks has spent years studying these so-called “Superyoung” people. Now the reporter(R) is interviewing Dr Weeks(DW).
R: Dr Weeks, could you start by telling us exactly what you mean by the expression
“Superyoung”?
DW: Yes, well, I mean a lucky group of people who actually look and feel as much as 18
years younger than they really are.
R: Is looking younger than our age just a question of our genes?
DW: Well, of course it’s one of the important things. But we have many other things to think
about. My study has shown, for example, that a happy life is quite important. They often have friendships with people younger than themselves too.
R: And do the “Superyoung” have a lot of children?
DW: No, in fact the opposite. Our study showed that 15% of the “Superyoung” don’t have
children at all and those that have children usually have small families, one or two children at most.
R: Is lifestyle important?
DW: Yes, the “Superyoung” usually sleep very well and have usual or even low blood
pressure. Our study showed that they travel more often and when they do travel they often travel further. Generally speaking, they are also people who read more and watch less TV than the rest of us.
R: And do they do a lot of exercise or sport?
DW: Yes, in fact we found that they are the kind of people who prefer to do sport rather than
watch sport. A strange fact we discovered is that they prefer the sports one person does such as swimming or walking to playing team sports such as football.

At first it all seems rather easy as you drift along with the water only occasionally reaching over the sides of your raft. And then suddenly, you realize why they call it white-water rafting. First comes the dull, distant roar of rapids, then a wash of white water and finally the roller-coaster ride that turns you at top speed down the river. The Bio-Bio River in Chile and the Colorado River in the US are among the finest white-water destinations.

.Many students want to find friends on the Internet as a way of practising their language skills and learning more about new cultures. Traditional pen pals were the primary source for such contacts, and students could write each other letters. With the Internet, fingding friends has become much easier, and such relationships are called key pals.
However, care and consideration should be given when finding friends on the Internet: ◎Search the Internet for reputable(有信誉的) services. Look for reviews of such sites to learn more about other students’ experiences. Don’t join a service until you have done your research.
◎Check to see if you can use a nickname, instead of __________, to protect your identity. ◎Never give personal information to anyone, including your home address, phone number, and birthday.
◎Stop contact with others if you feel uncomfortable with the topics of conversation. Again, if you protect your identity, this will be easier to do. Tell your teachers, parents, or even local law enforement if problem arise.
◎Try to use the language you are studying in the classroom in your communication with others. ◎Ask appropriate questions that will also help you learn about other cultures. Remember that someone’s personal experience might help you to understand a whole culture. You have to talk to many different people, and this will get you started.
