The "devils" hold whips and oversized castanets as they jump bravely over the unaware infants.

Vitamin D helps bones and muscles grow strong and healthy. Low levels of vitamin D can lead to many problems .Osteoporosis, the thinning of bone, is a common problem as people, especially women, get older. But more and more research says that vitamin D might also help prevent many diseases.

The easiest way to get vitamin D is from sunlight. The sun's ultraviolet rays react with skin cells to produce vitamin D. But many people worry about getting skin cancer and skin damage from the sun. As a result they cover their skin or wear sunblock or stay out of the sun.

The easiest way to get vitamin D is from sunlight. The sun's ultraviolet rays react with skin cells to produce vitamin D. But many people worry about getting skin cancer and skin damage from the sun. As a result they cover their skin or wear sunblock or stay out of the sun.

Also, darker skinned people produce less vitamin D than lighter skinned people. Production also decreases in older people and those living in northern areas that get less sunlight.

Not many foods naturally contain vitamin D. Foods high in this vitamin include oily fish such as salmon, tuna and fish liver oils. Boston University researchers reported last year that farmed salmon had only about one-fourth as much vitamin D as wild salmon. Small amounts of D are found in beef liver, cheese and eggs.

Research in the last several years has shown that low levels of vitamin D may increase the risk of heart attacks and cancer. Other studies have shown that people with rheumatic diseases often have low levels of vitamin D.

More doctors are now testing their patients for their vitamin D levels. But if people take too much vitamin D, it might act as a poison.  

1. Vitamin D makes bones better.
2.  Little vitamin D is the reason for a lot of problems.
3. The best way to get vitamin D is from water.
4. Afro-Americans produce less vitamin D.
5. People who live in the south get less vitamin D from the sun than those who live in the north.
6. Fruit and vegetables contain a lot of vitamin D.
7. Wild salmon is richer in vitamin D than farmed one.
8. Crisps and Coke can replace vitamin D.
9. Low levels of vitamin D may result in brain diseases.

The Sweet Whistling Language That Transforms Humans into Nightingales

If you ever visit La Gomera, one of the small islands that make up the Canaries, you are guaranteed to hear some sweet nightingale. Wonderful whistling sounds! Some may come from the golden-voiced bird itself. But chances are most that you are hearing them coming from the residents who, believe it or not, are pronouncing actual words to each other in a language they call “Silbo Gomera” (Spanish for “'Gomeran Whistle”).

Nobody knows for sure how this whistling language originated, since it was invented even before the original residents of the island came to settle there. It is believed that before the last of them left the island in the 16th century, they passed it on to the Spanish settlers who not only adopted it, but also, translated it to Spanish.

Like most ancient languages, it was used until about the 19th century and then began to die down. By the late 20th century, hardly anyone could “speak” this unique whistling language. Alarmed at the loss of what was regarded as a cultural heritage, the local government decided to step in and make the language compulsory for all students.

Today, all the residents of this tiny island are good at Silbo Gomera and take great pride in chirping (щебетать) away at each other. Also, while there are a few other whistling languages around the world, this, is the only one that is fully developed - оne where every vowel and consonant of the local spoken language, Castilian Spanish, can be mimicked by distinct whistles, making for some real sweet sounds!

Frankenstein

The novel begins with the explorer Robert Walton looking for a new passage from Russia to the Pacific Ocean via the Arctic Ocean. After weeks as sea, the crew of Walton's ship finds a man, Victor Frankenstein, floating on ice almost dead. In Walton's series of letters to his sister in England, he retells Victor's tragic story.

Victor grew up in Geneva, Switzerland. He was a talented child, quick to learn all new subjects. Victor was good at in the sciences and wanted to study science. At the university Victor was involved with his studies for two years. He invented a plan to recreate and reanimate a dead body. He used a combination of chemistry, alchemy, and electricity to make his ambition a reality.

However, even Frankenstein was frightened when he saw the fruit of his insane fantasy. The monster ran away from the laboratory and appeared some time later in the Alps. All the man he saw didn’t want to communicate with him, not so much for his ugliness as for his clearly non-human features. Soon Victor got a letter telling him to come home immediately since an unknown person had killed his youngest brother, William. Victor knew who the killer was but could not tell his family or the police. One day he saw the monster. He had come to discuss with his maker an interesting proposition – he wanted Victor to make him a friend. Victor refused, and the monster asked to hear his part of the story.

E    PERFECT FOR YOUNG PEOPLE

F    TINY HOUSES

36 _________________________

How would you feel about living in a house that was only 2.6m long by 2.6m wide by 2.6m high? Well, in Europe some people are doing just that. Micro compact ('m-ch') homes are very small homes that are no bigger than the size of a small room!

37__________________________

So how do you fit not just a sleeping and living area, but also a study and bathing area into a space that is only 2.6m3?Well, in m-ch homes, each area has more than one uses, because you can change the place of the seats, beds and kitchen appliances. So, the dining area (which is also the study area) becomes a sleeping space by sliding the dining table into a wall. And the entrance way doubles as a bathroom -the front door becomes the shower door!

38___________________________

The company that makes these tiny homes says that they designed them to solve the difficulty many Europeans have in getting their own home. Too many people cannot afford accommodation in Europe and these low-cost homes are perfect for someone who wants a place where they can live for a short time.

39___________________________

The first people to try living in m-ch homes were university students. Students love them because although small, they are very modern with flatscreen TVs and comfortable furniture.

40________________________

So what's 'micro living' like? Well, you have to be a very neat, tidy and organised person, because in order to do one thing, you have to first finish another and put everything away. Also, the lack of space means you can't have many personal items. But if you want a cheap, cosy, modern space that you can call your own, a micro home may be for you!

F    Complete the sentences with words derived from the words in bold.

41. There is no __________________you can do your chores later if you want. URGENT

42. My neighbour is so full of ________________. He thinks he is never wrong. ARROGANT

43. I can't tell the ______________________ between the twins. DIFFER

44. I miss the ___________________ of the countryside.  QUIET

45. Please do the writing _________________ in your notebook. ACTIVE

Hanami: a Flowering Celebration!

The beginning of spring (March-April) is a very special time in Japan, because this is when Japan's famous cherry trees come into flower. The Japanese celebrate this happy time with festivals and flower-viewing parties.

At the end of winter, everyone's excitement starts to grow. The whole country wants to know the exact day when the cherry flowers ('sakura') will appear. Starting in February, weathermen try to guess when this day will be.

When the first flowers open on the trees, national joy breaks out! There are rides and games for children in the street, music and dance performances, tea ceremonies, flower displays, and much more. But the most special thing that people do at this time is have 'hanami' parties. Hanami means flower watching. In hanami parties, families and friends take a picnic and go and sit under a cherry tree to look at and admire the flowers. Hanami parties take place during the daytime and also at night, because when it is dark, lights light up the cherry trees.

Hanami is very important to the Japanese. Cherry blossoms appear on trees for only one week before they fall to the ground and die, and for the Japanese this symbolises the short nature of childhood and life. So hanami is a time when Japanese people like to think about how important life is.
