I arranged to stay in a farmhouse outside a village in southern Italy. My itinerary said that the
plane arrived in Italy at five o’clock in the afternoon and it was a thirty-minute drive from the
airport to the village. I wanted to get to my destination before it got dark, so I could have a
drink, watch the sunset, and enjoy an evening meal!
The problems began at Healthrow airport. My plane was three hours late. I walked around the
airport, looked in the shops, and drank coffee in the cafe’s. I didn’t eat anything. That was a
mistake! When the plane finally took off, they gave me a cold, tasteless meal which I couldn’t
eat.
We arrived in Italy in the early evening. The sun was setting as I was collecting my bags! I
missed it completely! I went to the desk to find my hire car and that’s when I discovered the
next problem. The receptionist couldn’t find my name on the computer and there were no more
cars. There were no buses or trains to the village, and the taxis were on strike.
The receptionist felt sorry for me. She phoned her brother, Alessandro, who agreed to take me
to the village. Alessandro arrived in a very old car and we set off. Fifteen minutes later … we
broke down. I was tired, depressed, and very, very hungry. Luckily, Alessandro was a
mechanic. After an hour, he fixed the car and we started driving again.
It was nearly midnight when we arrived at the farmhouse. A man opened the door and smiled.
‘Come in,’ he said. ‘We waited for you.’ I sat with a group of the friendliest people I’ve ever
met and had an absolutely wonderful meal.

Some of the oldest people in the world are said to live in Azerbaijan. The most
famous of all was Shirali Muslimov, who died on 2 September 1973 at the age of 168.
Today doctor do not think this is possible, but he was a very old man – probably
nearer 120 than 160!
Another person who was once the oldest person in the world was Kamato Hongo. She
was born in 1887, in Japan, and died in 2003 at the age of 116. Kamato usually slept
for two full days at a time and then was awake for two full days. She said to live a
long life you mustn’t “think too much”, and her favourite things were sugar, steak and
green tea.
Joan Riudavets Moll was born on 15 December 1889, on the Balearic Island of
Menorca. He still lives there, spending up to 14 hours a day asleep. Riudavets really
wanted to be a doctor but he became a shoemaker, working at home in the family
business. He has three daughters in all, with five grandsons and six great
grandchildren. He rarely leaves his home. He thinks planes and electricity are the
most important changes he has seen in his life. During his life he has played a lot of
football – his favourite game – and still enjoys singing and playing the guitar. What
does Joan Riudavets Moll say about living a long life? ”If you eat a little but often,
you will live a long life”

TRIPLETS REUNITED AFTER 69 YEARS
The children, originally named Florence, John, and May Hodder, were separate when
they were babies. Their mother had died a day after they were born and then their
father John, a gardener, already had six other children. He didn’t think he could look
after them. So they were adopted by three different families in different parts of
Britain and given new names Gill, David, and Helena.
The story of their union began more than 25 years ago when David’s wife applied to a
government office for his birth certificate and discovered that David was one of the
triplets. David was absolutely amazed. Although the office could not give him any
information about other two triplets, he soon made contact with his sister Florence
after putting an advertisement in a national magazine, Florence and David were now
44 years old. But it was another 25 years before they found Helena.
They could not find any records of the adoption, and although they advertised in
newspapers and magazines, this time nobody answered. Finally after they had
appeared in a BBC TV documentary and contacted an organization which supports
adopted children, they discovered that documents about Helena’s adopted family
existed. Unfortunately they did not have the legal right to see them. However, they
appealed to a judge who decided that they should be allowed to see the documents.
David and Florence began investigating. They contacted Helena’s son and Helena.
Helena adoptive parents had told her that she was one of triplets but she never thought
she would see the other two. She felt quite nervous about meeting them after such a
long time. The triplet are now planning to go on holiday together to Devon, and to
meet each other as often as possible.

EVERYONE MAKES MISTAKE
At the age of 40, Clive Cooke decided to give up his high-pressure job in Manhattan and retire
to the south of France. He sold his house for $250000, loaded all his furniture on to a ship and
move to a village between Cannes and Nice with his girlfriend at the time. Yet 18 months later
he was back in the big city and working again, this time in London, taking up another
management position. So what went wrong? What made Clove change his mind?
The first problem was a financial one. Clive could not believe how fast his money disappeared
when he did not have a regular salary. In the end he went through about three times more than
he had planned, and he realized he would have to sit down and budget his money better if he
wanted it to last.
Secondly, he found it hard to get used to the pace of life. He had been used to life in the big city
in a corporate environment with three or four things going on all the time. In France with
nothing to do in the evenings, he found himself going to bed at 9.00p.m.He started feeling that
he might be missing out on something.
Finally, Clive split up with his girlfriend. They found that spending 24 hours together with
nothing more to do than sunbathe at the side of the pool was very different from the stimulating
life they had led in Manhattan. And being alone with no one to talk to in a beautiful house in the
countryside was not the retirement Clive had planned. So when he received a call from a
colleague offering him the job in London, he jumped at the chance.

BURGLARS LOVE THE AFTERNOON

Most house burglaries happen between 2p.m and 6p.m, say the police.
Inspector Ian Sauders told our newspaper that the number of house burglaries has
gone up by more than 30% compare with last year. He also said that 67% of
burglaries ,happen when people have gone out and forgotten to close a door or a
window.
He went on to a report that night-time burglaries are unusual because families are
usually at home at that time. But he said that winter afternoons are the best time for
burglars because it is dark and they can’t be seen easily. Also many houses are empty
at that time, because people are often still at work.
Inspector Sauders said that it is a good idea to leave lights on in living rooms and
bedrooms when you go on holidays. This will help to keep burglars away. He also
asked neighbours to watch the other houses in the street when people are not at home.
They should call the police if they see anything strange. ‘We will also tell you how to
make your house safe’. Inspestor Sauders said. ‘This kind of help costs nothing.

DO YOU HAVE PHOBIA?
Are you terrified at the thought of getting on an aeroplane? Do you worry about
spiders every time you go into the bathroom? Would you rather walk up 100 steps
than get into a lift? If the answer is ‘yes’ to any of these or similar questions, you may
have a phobia!
If you have a phobia, don’t worry. You’re not alone. It’s estimated that about 10% of
the world’s population have a phobia about something. The fear of flying, the fear of
heights, the fear of being in closed spaces or being in open spaces are some of the
most common phobias people have. However, there are hundreds of other unusual
phobias too, which are just as bad. Did you know that some people have a fear of
clowns? Can you believe that some people are afraid of fish and that others are scared
of garlic? Then there’s the fear of falling in love, the fear of rain, the fear of the moon,
and the fear of the stars! The list is endless.
For most people, who don’t have phobias, these ideas are difficult to understand.
Even people with phobias usually know that there’s no real danger. However, they
cannot control their fears. When some people think about the object of their phobia,
their heart starts beating very quickly and they find it difficult to breathe. This is a
natural reaction to fear, but it can make life difficult if it happens all the time.
So if you have a phobia, what can you do about it? In some cases, you can simply
avoid the situation. If you have a fear of heights, don’t climb a mountain! However,
in other cases, it’s not so easy. What can you do if you’re terrified of vegetables?
Some people try relaxation techniques such as yoga or meditation. Some find that
physical exercise can help. Others change their diet and stop having alcohol, coffee,
and other unhealthy things. Many people find writing about their phobia helps them
understand what is happening to them. But if none of these ideas helps you, go and
see your doctor. He or she may suggest psychotherapy, or even hypnosis.
