Eating an apple a day is better for youthan eating a kilo of spinach one day a week.I: I see. So what youre saying is I: Theres been a lot of talk about food pills.W: Yes.I: Are they healthier than other types of food? Could they be the food of the future?W: Well, in the past astronauts ate a type of food pill when they were in space. It was dried foodand they added water to it.I: Right.W: But I dont think food pills will replace normal food.I: Right. Whys that? For health reasons or social reasons?W: Well, cooking and eating together is an important part of family life and it always will be. Yousit down together at a table and you eat and talk. Its a very old tradition, and eating pills isntthe same.I: Hmm, so we wont eat only food pills?W: Food pills might become more popular, but no, we wont eat only food pills in the future.I: Well, thats interesting because I was reading about W: In the future we may have special food that can change its flavor.I: Can you give an example?W: For example, imagine you like chocolate ice cream, but your friend likes strawberry. You eatthe same ice cream but it will taste different for both of you.I: The same food that tastes different for different people W: Youll think its chocolate ice cream and your friend will say its strawberry. It might happenwith drinks, too. You take a bottle of liquid out of the fridge. You press the button which says“coffee” or “lemonade” or “hot chocolate”. You put the bottle in the microwave and the liquidbecomes the drink that you choose.I: So it starts off as the same food or drink, but then we change its flavor by pushing a button.W: Thats right. Just by pushing a button.I: So how does it work?W: Well, this is possible because of nanotechnology. The technology might not replace normaldrinks and food, but it may become common in the future.I: And nanotechnology is something thats used in different areas of science ViewingScriptsB = Ronnie Barker; C = Ronnie CorbettB: I say, that was, that was really jolly good that was.

How often we experience these positive emotions compared to negative emotions in a day affects not only our mood, but also our physical health. She has discovered that those who have a 3:1 ratio of positive to negative emotions on a daily basis are happier and healthier.Sadly, most people, even those who consider themselves positive people, are way below that ratio. The good news is you can learn to increase your ratio of being positive, which leads to greater happiness, health and success.Research shows that by increasing positive emotions, we become more creative, perform better at tasks, and have better relationships. The most exciting finding is that we now have proof that self-generated positive emotions can improve our physical health.Nevertheless, we dont want to get rid of all negative feelings. Negative emotions are proper and helpful sometimes. Its appropriate to feel sad about the loss of a loved one. Anger often pushes us into action to improve a situation or correct a mistake. However, if you find yourselfwaiting impatiently when the driver in front of you doesnt instantly notice the light turns green, or if you find yourself scolding your kids for laughing too loud while you are on the phone, youare having negative feelings in your daily life too often. Then you should step back and analyze those feelings, and turn them around.Q1: What is the ratio of positive to negative emotions that can make a person happier?Q2: What is the most exciting finding about increasing positive emotions?Q3: What does the speaker say about negative feelings?Q4: What is the main idea of the passage?Passage 2Scripts and answersThere are many factors that affect a persons sleep. Stress is the number one cause of short-term sleeping difficulties. Stressful situations include school- or job-related 1) pressures, and serious illness in the family. Usually the sleeping problems 2) disappear when the stressful situations pass. However, if short-term sleeping problems are not managed properly from the beginning, they can last long and thus 3) compromise good health.Unhealthy habits may lead to sleeping problems too. Drinking coffee or 4) alcohol in the afternoon or evening, exercising close to bedtime, following an irregular morning and nighttime schedule, and working or doing other mentally 5) intense activities right before or after gettinginto bed can interrupt sleep. Traveling also 6) interferes with sleep, especially traveling across several time zones. This can 7) undermine your biological rhythms and cause sleep disorders such as trouble falling asleep and trouble remaining asleep. Environmental factors such as a room thats too hot or cold, too noisy or too bright can be anobstacle to sound sleep. Other influences to 8) pay attention to are the comfort and size of your bed and the habits of your sleep partner. If you have to sleep beside someone who has different sleeping habits, breathes in a noisy way, or 9) suffers from other sleeping difficulties, it oftenbecomes your problem too! Having a 24/7 lifestyle can also interrupt regular sleep patterns. Industries are working round the clock to be 10) competitive, so some people have to work at night; with nonstop automatic communication systems, people are communicating day and night. All these make sleeping at regular times difficult.
