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 taijiquan in the morning and dance in the evening. She looks young and beautiful _______ she is over seventy. Last week a reporter from a magazine interviewed her and asked _______ she kept to young and healthy. She replied with a smile.

I have a secret of staying young 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 _______ as you can. Don’t think you are too old to go back to _______. I know a man who entered a medical college when he was 70 years old. He studied there for 6 years and now he is a doctor. Another man went to a tennis school at the age of 71 and now he is good at playing tennis.

China covers large areas and has a great population. Different living habits have always been an interesting topic in the country. Recently, another difference between southern Chinese and northern Chinese became a hot one: the way people shop at markets.

People from southern China say that they always buy what they need for just one or two meals. It is normal for them to buy half of a Chinese cabbage, two potatoes and 0.25 kilograms of beef at a time.

However, one may be laughed at if he does this in the north. Instead, buying vegetables and meat enough for a week is usual. Also, you can buy a small amount of fruit, such as a single apple or pear, each time in the south. Shop owners even help you peel and cut them. But shop owners in the north hardly offer such service. And many fruits are sold in baskets and boxes.

The difference could be due to the different weather.

Food can be kept for a long time in the north, as it is usually cold and dry there. Many northern Chinese have the habit of storing food, especially for the long winter. But the hot and wet weather in the south makes southern Chinese buy just enough food for one meal or one day, or else the food may go bad.
