Danger!
If you are walking through the woods and you see a bear, you know that you are in
danger. The same is true if you see a snake or a beehive. However, these aren’t the only
dangerous things in nature. When you are having a good time outside, you also need to be
careful of plants.
In some ways, plants are more dangerous than animals. This is because dangerous plants
often look normal. Sometimes they even look pretty. If you try to touch one of these nice-
looking plants, you could be in a lot of trouble.
Take the angel’s trumpet flower, for example. This beautiful white flower is full of
poison. A person who touches it can get headaches, confusion, and a very fast heartbeat. Very
often, the poison can kill you. All parts of the angel’s trumpets are poisonous, but the most
dangerous parts are the seeds and leaves.
Here is another dangerous and somewhat creepy plant: doll’s eyes. This plant got its name
because its berries look just like doll’s eyes. The berries from these plants can stop a person’s
heart. In fact, most berries that you see in nature are poisonous. You should never eat wild
berries that you find when you are outside.
Some plants can sting you. Stinging needles don’t look dangerous, but they have many
tiny hairs on them. If you touch a stinging needle, those hairs will put a weak poison onto
your skin. The poison won’t kill you, but it will make your skin itch for a while and it might
drive you crazy.
One of the more common dangerous plants is poison ivy. This plant produces a clear liquid
that will cause all kinds of problems to anyone who touches it. Most people who touch poison
ivy get a red and very painful rash on their skin. The rash often itches very badly, and
sometimes it creates large blisters. If you see a green plant that has three leaves growing from
every branch, stay away from it. It could be poison ivy.

Getting Focused and Flexible with Yoga
In a small room, men and women are getting a great workout. However, there are no
weights in this gym. The only piece of equipment is a small rubber mat. On it, they strike
unusual poses which are held for minutes at a time. An instructor goes from student to student
urging them to relax and breathe deeply, while inspecting their posture. In the end, through
the art of yoga they hope to balance their body, mind, and spirit.
Yoga originated in India over 2,000 over years ago. The first yogis weren’t looking to lose
weight or get themselves in great shape. Instead, they practise yoga to help them achieve
liberation. Yoga became an important part of Hindu culture, and it is mentioned in nearly all
of the religion’s ancient scriptures. It wasn’t until the 19 th century, however, that Westerners
took notice of yoga. In the 1890s, Swami Vievekananda became the first yoga teacher to take
on Western students when he toured the US and Europe. His lessons focused primarily on the
spiritual aspects, and his speeches intrigued many intellectuals, but it would take some time
before yoga would catch on with the masses. That didn’t happen until the 1980s when many
Americans and Europeans embraced yoga during a worldwide exercise boom. Yet once it
took hold, yoga has increased popularity year by year. It is estimated that over 20 million

Trang 5
Americans now practise yoga regularly.
A main reason why contemporary people are hooked on yoga is that it helps to relieve
work-related stress. Students are taught to breathe slowly and deeply while concentrating on
the present moment and letting go of the past. The challenging postures help to balance the
negative effects people experience from sitting in chairs all day. The poses also help people to
regain flexibility and improve circulation, which is particularly useful to the elderly.
As yoga became commercialized in the West, many new branches were formed. Ashtanga
yoga moves at a fairly quick pace, flowing from pose to pose. Power yoga, on the other hand,
offers workouts that are designed to increase strength. Another popular style, hot yoga, has
students practise in hot environments to help them burn more calories. If you are thinking of
studying yoga, try them all and let your heart decide which one is best for you.
