If you like talking to people and writing stories, being a news reporter may be the job for you. It is __, though! Reporters work hard and finish their work in time. They follow four steps to complete a new story.

It is very important to stay healthy. I have a neighbor. She is an old lady. She can do all the housework, ________ newspapers, watch TV and search on the Internet to learn something new. I often see ________ do taiji in the morning and dance in the evening. Last week a reporter from a magazine interviewed her and asked ________ she kept so young and healthy. She replied with a smile:

I have a secret of staying ________ and healthy. It is quite ________. Keep your mind active, take an interest in the world ________ you, and learn at least one new thing every day. Try to do different kinds of housework and do sports as often as you can. Don’t think you are too old to go back to ________. I know a man who entered a medical college ________ he was 70 years old. He studied there for 6 years and now he is a doctor. ________ man went to a tennis school at the age of 71 and now he is good at ________ tennis. Some people may say staying young is easy only for those who live in the future. In fact, no matter how old you are, you can make it.

Please tell the story to your family. It would be a good start to follow the lady’s example. I hope all people will stay young and healthy.

Exercising with friends is better

“Getting healthy” may have been and always been one of your New Year’s resolutions. However, it is really hard to realize. With ________ schoolwork and sometimes no motivation (动力), how can you stick to your exercise plan? Experts now offer the solution: exercising with your ________.

According to the report, scientists at Kean University said that social ________ might be the key to starting an exercise programme. The report found that when the less active people communicated with friends who exercised often, they felt ________ and started to learn from their friends. However, those who have fewer social activities ________ exercising less.

This is natural because motivation is actually from your social circle. It’s ________ for you to be changed by your friends. If your friends don’t go to the gym every day, it is possible that you don’t go to an exercise class. If your friends are going to the gym, you will ________ want to go, too.
