Extract 4
Genetics plays a big role in the way our skin
develops, determining its color,
pore concentration, thickness, even the number of
veins and nerves situated in its
deepest layer. Yet your skin’s well-being not only
depends on a really efficient,
scientific skincare routine, but on a healthy lifestyle too.
5 Getting enough sleep is important, for example,
because this is the time
when skin works especially hard at repairing itself. Lack
of I leaves skin looking
dull. If you’re suffering from insomnia, the chances are
that stress is a significant
factor. Whereas happiness makes skin glow, stress
makes skin show the worst side

47
of its nature. Spots, pimples, eczema, blotchiness and
flakiness: these are just
10 some of the stress symptoms you may see in your skin.
Luckily, one of the best ways of reducing stress is
also very beneficial to
skin: getting more exercise. Both aerobic exercise such
as tennis, dancing, and
jogging, and anaerobic exercise like stretching and
yoga, are highly beneficial,
because they improved circulation. And it is blood that
brings the vitamins and
15 nutrients necessary for cell metabolism to the skin. For
your general well-being,
it is always best to mix the two types of exercise.
If you are not eating healthily, it certainly becomes
evident swiftly in your skin,
which loses its glow and shine. The problem can be as
simple as a lack of vitamin
C, which plays a vital role in collagen formation and cell
repair. Although vitamin C

48
20 is found in fresh fruit like melon, oranges, and even in
tomatoes, the body cannot
store it. Therefore, it needs regular supplies. Other
important vitamins are the B
group, especially B2 and B12 and vitamin E, along with
zinc.
But vitamin and mineral supplements are not the
complete answer. The best
way to obtain a balanced mix of vitamins and minerals
is to eat the freshest, most
25 natural foods. A diet rich in unsaturated fats such as
olive oil rather than butter,
unprocessed fiber, raw fruit and vegetables and low-fat
protein such as fish and
chicken will provide everything your skin needs. If you
can cut out caffeine, smoking
and alcohol, so much the better.
Do not forget to drink as much water as you can
each day: six glasses at
30 least. It helps every organ in your body function better,
aiding digestion, circulation
and even excretion of toxins through the skin’s pores.

Passage3
A study presented in proceedings of the National
Academy of Sciences, USA,
indicates the broccoli, grown under the right conditions,
contains sulforaphane
glucosinolate (SGS), a substance that may boost the
body’s natural defense systems
against cancer and even kill cancer cells. But you would
have to eat pounds of
5 broccoli to get enough SGS to be effective. Continued
food research by John Hop-
kins University, Baltimore, and the USDA, however, found
that three-day-old broccoli
seedlings contain a concentrated amount of SGS – 20
times the amount found in
broccoli – so only an ounce provides the same benefits.
Sold as BroccoSprouts, the
seedlings are grown under controlled conditions to ensure
SGS content, and can be

87
10 used on salads, sandwiches and omelets for a “zingy”
taste. They have been
patented by John Hopkins University, and 19 growers
nationwide are licensed to
grow them.BroccoSprouts are available in select grocery
and health food stores
nationwide.

Passage4
Sometimes just “saving” in general is not enough
incentive to keep families on
the budget track. You need a goal to get started. To use a
diet analogy, it’s easier to
lose 10 pounds when your high school reunion is around
the corner. A goal not only
gives a family something to reach for, it makes a savings
plan short term.
5 Knowing you don’t have to give something up forever
makes the sacrifice easier.
Once you’ve reached your goal, you can abandon your
strategy or apply those
savings to a new object.

90
That approach worked for Cynthia Mclntyre, who
launched a search for extra
savings after she spotted an antique table that fit perfectly
in her living room – but
10 not in her budget.
McIntyre went over her checkbook carefully and
realized she was buying 10
books every month. A lifelong reader, she couldn’t wait to
rush out and snap up
a new release. “It was a $400-a-year habit,” she says. The
worst part was, many
of the books didn’t live up to the reviews and McIntyre
gave them away. Now she
15 gets the latest bestsellers from the local library. “Reading
them a little later doesn’t
spoil the story,” she concludes.
61. The word “incentive” (line 1) means ___.
1. power 2. strength
3. motivation 4. willingness
62. The phrase “around the corner” (line 3) as used in this
