Lila is a hardworking teacher in Miami. She gets up at six thirty every morning and has
breakfast. Then she makes sandwiches to take for lunch and gets ready for work. Lila usually
walks to work because she thinks it’s important to exercise every day. She sometimes walks
home in the evening, but she usually takes the bus. Lila has dinner at seven o’clock and goes
to bed early. She doesn’t go out during the week, but she often goes out with her friends on
the weekend. Lila eats five portions of fruit and vegetables every day and fish twice a week.
She sometimes eats meat, but she doesn’t smoke. For more exercise, Lila goes to the gym
three times a week. She’s very healthy and is hardly ever sick.

XIV. Read  the  text  and  choose  TRUE,  FALSE  or  DOESN’T  SAY.  

Young at heart and in body!


Today   people   are   living   a   lot   longer   than   they   used   to,   and  
their  lives  are  much  healthier,  too.  Older  people  used  to  say  
that   they   were   "young   at   heart"   when   they   looked   old   but  
felt  young.  Now,  people  want  to  look  as  young  as  they  feel,  
and   they   are   willing   to   spend   a   lot   of   money   on   cosmetic  
surgery   to   make   their   wish   come   true.   If   an   operation   can  
give   people   a   younger   face   or   body,   then   some   people   will  
have  it  and  not  worry  about  the  dangers  or  the  cost.  People  
have   always   looked   for   eternal   youth,   and   maybe   now   they  
have  found  it.  

As  well  as  trying  to  look  younger,  people  can  have  operations  for  other  reasons.  They  can  become  thinner  or  fatter.  
They  can  have  a  different  nose  or  more  hair.  They  can  even  become  taller  or  shorter!  In  fact  doctors  can  probably  
change  almost  any  part  of  the  body  that  you  are  unhappy  with...  for  the  right  amount  of  money!  The  number  of  
people  who  have  these  operations  is  continuing  to  go  up.  Last  year  in  the  United  States,  there  was  an  increase  of  
15  percent!  And  it  is  not  only  women  who  want  a  perfect  body.  Although  the  majority  of  operations  are  performed  
on  women,  more  and  more  men  are  choosing  to  have  surgery,  too.  The  most  popular  operations  for  men  include  
changing  their  nose  or  ears,  and  fat  reduction.  It  is  also  worrisome  that  many  young  people  are  having  surgery.  It  is  
becoming   so   popular   and   cheap   that   some   eighteen-­‐year-­‐olds   are   getting   operations   as   presents   for   their  
birthdays!  
However,  these  operations  can  be  dangerous,  and  they  can  also  cause  a  lot  of  pain.  Sometimes  the  operations  go  
wrong,  and  the  person  may  look  worse  than  before.  There  are  some  terrible  stories,  which  have  been  shown  on  
some  frightening  television  programs.  Although  there  are  problems,  people  continue  to  take  the  risks.  
In  the  past,  only  the  rich  and  famous  could  afford  to  pay  for  these  operations,  but  today  the  prices  are  much  lower.  
Many  more  people  today  have  the  opportunity  to  look  younger  or  to  look  like  their  favorite  celebrity.  Although  it  
costs  money  and  is  dangerous,  millions  of  men  and  women  still  have  surgery  because  they  want  a  perfect  body.
