29.Thanks to better health care,most people are living healthier and longer lives.Someone who is born today can expect to live about thirty-five years longer than someone who was born in the nineteenth century.(A) In the future more and more people will celebrate their hundredth birthdays.Here are five rules for a healthy life. It's comfortable to sit on the sofa and watch TV.But doctors say you should get off the sofa.To keep fit,you have to walk at least 10,000 steps every day.In the past,people's job requires more physical effort.They often had to walk for miles every day.When farmers were working in the fields,they were keeping fit at the same time.Think about it:Do you get the same amount of exercise today as they did in the past? It is important to eat food that is fresh and natural,for example,fruit and vegetables.Eating too much of the wrong food will harm your health.(B)快餐是不健康的。You should only have it once in a while. When we were babies,we slept for much of the night.Teenagers do not need as much sleep as babies,but it is important for you to get about eight hours' sleep a night.At weekends,you have got more time,so use it not just for your friends,but for rest too. Many people believe that happiness is important for our general health.Sometimes it is not easy to be a teenager because of the difficulties of school exams or friendships.If you are worried about something,talk to your parents or your teacher. Smoking is not cool.It's dangerous.It harms nearly every part of your body.Think about how your family and friends will feel,and think about what it will do to your health.

30.Traveling to another country is exciting and fun.But if you don't learn about local customs,your trip could become a nightmare with misunderstandings and even trouble.Here are some cultural taboos(禁忌)in certain countries to help prevent things like that.Let's take a look and fit in with local culture. US One of the traditional customs for Americans is to tip jye.ai.People from non-tipping countries may forget to tip.And they may find themselves in an embarrassing situation.Also,pay attention when you have a conversation with Americans.As a tourist in the US,it is not polite to ask people questions like "How old are you?" and "How much do you make?" Mexico In Mexico,bringing an expensive gift to someone's home is a no-no.It could be seen as a bribe(賄賂).Something simple like flowers or a dessert are good gifts.But you should avoid taking along marigolds (金盞花) or red flowers,because in Mexican culture,they symbolize death and can be connected with witchcraft(巫術).To local people,white flowers are a good gift. Britain Be careful about hand gestures when you visit Britain.If you make the V sign with your palm(手掌)facing you,the locals may get angry.That's because this gesture means the same as the middle finger.It's an insult(侮辱).It is safe to hold off on hand gestures to prevent any misunderstandings. Also,Britons are known for queuing.From the supermarket to the subway,queues are very common in Britain.Usually a British person spends six months of their life in queues.If you jump the queue in Britain,you may upset them.
