[00:00.58]Passage One


[00:02.44]If you are a young college student,


[00:04.96]most of your concerns about your health


[00:07.47]and happiness in life


[00:09.00]are probably focused on the present.


[00:11.30]Basically, you want to feel good physically 1,


[00:14.91]mentally, and emotionally now.


[00:17.65]You probably don’t spend much time


[00:19.62]worrying about the distant future,


[00:21.69]such as whether you will develop heart disease or cancer,


[00:25.42]how you will take care of yourself


[00:27.20]in your retirement 2 years,


[00:28.62]or how long you are going to live.


[00:30.48]Such thoughts may have crossed your mind once in a while.


[00:34.31]However,


[00:36.06]if you are in your thirties, forties, fifties, or older,


[00:39.78]such health-related thoughts


[00:41.43]are likely to become increasingly important to you.


[00:44.38]Regardless of your age,


[00:45.92]you can make a number of important


[00:47.99]changes in your current lifestyle


[00:50.07]that will help you feel better physically and mentally.


[00:53.58]Recently researchers have found that,


[00:56.75]even in late adulthood 3, exercise,


[00:59.59]strength training with weights,


[01:01.67]and better food can help elderly individuals


[01:04.95]significantly improve their health


[01:07.36]and add happiness to their life.


[01:09.72]We know much more about preventative health today


[01:12.78]than our parents and grandparents did in the past,


[01:15.52]giving us the opportunity to


[01:17.27]avoid some of the health problems


[01:19.57]that have troubled them.


[01:20.78]And this new knowledge can be transmitted


[01:23.29]to our children to help them become healthier


[01:25.92]than our generation.


[01:27.66]Now the passage will be read again.


[01:30.94]If you are a young college student,


[01:33.13]most of your concerns about your health


[01:35.53]and happiness in life


[01:36.96]are probably focused on the present.


[01:39.26]Basically, you want to feel good physically,


[01:43.41]mentally, and emotionally now.


[01:46.25]You probably don’t spend much time


[01:48.44]worrying about the distant future,


[01:50.52]such as whether you will develop heart disease or cancer,


[01:54.14]how you will take care of yourself


[01:56.43]in your retirement years,


[01:57.52]or how long you are going to live.


[01:59.82]Such thoughts may have crossed your mind once in a while.


[02:04.42]However, if you are in your thirties,


[02:06.87]forties, fifties, or older,


[02:09.16]such health-related thoughts


[02:10.81]are likely to become increasingly important to you.


[02:13.87]Regardless of your age,


[02:16.17]you can make a number of important


[02:18.25]changes in your current lifestyle


[03:11.24]that will help you feel better physically and mentally.


[03:14.63]Recently researchers have found that,


[03:18.45]even in late adulthood, exercise,


[03:21.20]strength training with weights,


[03:23.27]and better food can help elderly individuals


[03:26.45]significantly improve their health


[03:29.07]and add happiness to their life.


[03:31.37]We know much more about preventative health today


[03:34.75]than our parents and grandparents did in the past,


[04:27.54]giving us the opportunity to


[04:30.49]avoid some of the health problems


[04:32.57]that have troubled them.


[04:33.57]And this new knowledge can be transmitted


[04:35.98]to our children to help them become healthier


[04:38.60]than our generation.


[05:30.02]Now the passage will be read for the third time.


[05:34.28]If you are a young college student,


[05:36.26]most of your concerns about your health


[05:38.76]and happiness in life


[05:39.97]are probably focused on the present.


[05:43.28]Basically, you want to feel good physically,


[05:46.92]mentally, and emotionally now.


[05:49.65]You probably don’t spend much time


[05:52.39]worrying about the distant future,


[05:54.46]such as whether you will develop heart disease or cancer,

[06:00.15]in your retirement years,


[06:01.46]or how long you are going to live.


[06:04.53]Such thoughts may have crossed your mind once in a while.


[06:08.79]However, if you are in your thirties,


[06:11.97]forties, fifties, or older,


[06:14.38]such health-related thoughts


[06:16.34]are likely to become increasingly important to you.


[06:19.63]Regardless of your age,


[06:21.93]you can make a number of important


[06:24.45]changes in your current lifestyle


[06:26.41]that will help you feel better physically and mentally.


[06:30.15]Recently researchers have found that,

[06:36.61]strength training with weights,


[06:39.02]and better food can help elderly individuals


[06:42.63]significantly improve their health


[06:44.82]and add happiness to their life.


[06:47.11]We know much more about preventative health today


[06:51.05]than our parents and grandparents did in the past,


[06:53.90]giving us the opportunity to


[06:55.97]avoid some of the health problems


[06:58.27]that have troubled them.


[06:59.59]And this new knowledge can be transmitted


[07:01.67]to our children to help them become healthier


[07:04.51]than our generation.


[07:12.72]Passage Two


[07:14.14]It's difficult to imagine the sea


[07:17.09]ever running out of fish.


[07:18.94]It's so vast, so deep, so mysterious.


[07:23.32]Unfortunately, it's not bottomless.


[07:26.92]Over fishing,


[07:28.46]coupled with destructive fishing practices,


[07:31.41]is killing 4 off the fish and ruining their environment.


[07:35.79]Destroy the fish,


[07:37.88]and you destroy the fishermen's means of living.


[07:40.72]At least 60 percent


[07:43.02]of the world's commercially important fish species


[07:45.86]are already over-fished, or fished to the limit.


[07:49.36]As a result, governments


[07:52.21]have had to close down some areas of sea


[07:54.84]to commercial fishing.


[07:56.47]Big, high-tech 5 fleets ensure


[07:59.32]that everything in their path is pulled out of water.


[08:03.04]Anything too small, or the wrong thing,


[08:06.54]is thrown back either dead or dying.


[08:09.28]That's an average


[08:11.25]of more than 20 million metric tons every year.


[08:14.30]When you consider


[08:16.28]that equals a quarter of the world catch,


[08:19.45]you begin to see the size of the problem.


[08:22.41]In some parts of the world,


[08:25.25]for every kilogram of prawns 6 caught,


[08:27.88]up to 15 kilograms of unsuspecting fish


[08:31.38]and other marine 7 wildlife die,


[08:33.78]simply for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.


[08:38.05]True, some countries


[08:40.78]are beginning to deal with this problem,


[08:42.75]but it's vital we find rational ways of fishing


[08:46.48]before every ocean becomes a dead sea.


[08:49.97]It would make sense


[08:51.62]to give the fish enough time to recover,


[08:53.91]grow to full size and reproduce,


[08:56.98]then catch them in a way


[08:59.28]that doesn't kill other innocent sea life.


[09:02.50]Now the passage will be read again.


[09:06.00]It's difficult to imagine the sea


[09:09.83]ever running out of fish.


[09:11.69]It's so vast, so deep, so mysterious.


[09:16.41]Unfortunately, it's not bottomless.


[09:21.11]Over fishing,


[09:23.09]coupled with destructive fishing practices,


[09:26.59]is killing off the fish and ruining their environment.


[09:31.95]Destroy the fish,


[09:34.13]and you destroy the fishermen's means of living.


[09:37.63]At least 60 percent


[09:40.48]of the world's commercially important fish species


[09:44.19]are already over-fished, or fished to the limit.


[09:49.01]As a result, governments


[09:51.74]have had to close down some areas of sea


[09:54.04]to commercial fishing.


[09:56.12]Big, high-tech fleets ensure


[09:59.63]that everything in their path is pulled out of water.


[10:03.67]Anything too small, or the wrong thing,


[10:07.39]is thrown back either dead or dying.


[10:10.13]That's an average


[10:12.20]of more than 20 million metric tons every year.


[10:16.69]When you consider


[10:19.20]that equals a quarter of the world catch,


[10:22.60]you begin to see the size of the problem.


[11:15.82]In some parts of the world,


[11:19.32]for every kilogram of prawns caught,


[11:21.95]up to 15 kilograms of unsuspecting fish


[11:25.45]and other marine wildlife die,


[11:28.41]simply for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.


[11:33.00]True, some countries


[11:35.51]are beginning to deal with this problem,


[11:37.92]but it's vital we find rational ways of fishing


[12:33.00]before every ocean becomes a dead sea.


[12:36.59]It would make sense


[12:38.13]to give the fish enough time to recover,


[12:40.76]grow to full size and reproduce,


[13:34.63]then catch them in a way


[13:37.58]that doesn't kill other innocent sea life.


[13:42.03]Now the passage will be read for the third time.


[13:45.92]It's difficult to imagine the sea


[13:49.31]ever running out of fish.


[13:51.28]It's so vast, so deep, so mysterious.

[14:07.80]Destroy the fish,


[14:10.21]and you destroy the fishermen's means of living.
