- Do you play football or tennis yourself?

- Yes, I do, although not very often. Several years ago I used to do tennis. Once I was even thinking of pursuing a professional career, but now all that is in the past. I prefer watching others play tennis to playing myself. As for football, I have been a football fan from my childhood. My grandfather was the first to teach me to play football. Since then thousands of times I have played football with my friends and classmates. I think that the best time for playing football is early autumn and late spring. After classes my friends and I go to the playing ground, take a ball and we can really play for hours. In summer my friends are out of Moscow, while the Russian winter does not induce to playing football.

- Do you admire any athletes?

- Yes, I do. Eugeny Kafelnikov is my favourite tennis player. He is really good in tennis and ranks among the best tennis players of the world. Kafelnikov was the first Russian tennis player who managed to defeat the strongest Western athletes. I hope Eugeny will show excellent results for many years to come. I think that the example of Kafelnikov should inspire many young Russians to play tennis. As for football, I cannot, unfortunately, say that there is a particular Russian player whom I admire. My favourite football player is Gabriel Batistuta. He is an Argentinean, but now he is playing in the Italian championship. He is a really gifted athlete, he loves football and makes thousands of fans adore him. At the same time he neither shows any pride nor demonstrates contempt for his fans. This is also very important. Batistuta serves me an example not only as a sportsman but as a personality too.

- Do you have any friends who go in for sports professionally?

- Yes, I do. I have one friend who is doing professional tennis. We started to play tennis together. While I quitted, he continued to pursue a sport career. He works very hard under the supervision of his coach. He takes part in various competitions. He tries to achieve good results, but sometimes they are not perfect. In either case he is pretty sure that one day he will become a good tennis player. His dream is to play with Kafelnikov. My other friends do not take sport seriously. Just for fun they play football or badminton, and I think that they are right. Sport is good while there is not too much of it.

The Olympic Games were held every five years. People dated events by the Olympiads throughout ancient period. The athletes competed in running, boxing, wrestling, horse and chariot racing. The winners were given laurel wreaths. According to the rules established at Olympia all hostilities between warring states ceased for the duration of the Olympiad. The truce was universally respected and no Greek state could break it. In the course of time the festival became so popular that not only athletes competed for the crown of wild olive but artists, poets, philosophers, orators and historians, were trying to create immortal works dedicated to the unity and splendour of Hellenic civilization. The prestige and brilliance of the Olympic Games was so great that other panhellenic festivals were instituted two centuries later - the Pythian (590 BC), the Isthmian (580 BC), the Nemean (573 BC), in honour of Apollo, Poseidon and Zeus respectively. The Olympic Games were held for nearly twelve centuries and were abolished in 394 AD by Theodosius I, the Christian Emperor, on the ground of their pagan origin. At the end of the 19th century Baron Pierre de Coubertin revived them. In 1894 he addressed the International Congress of Athletes emphasizing the importance of sports in the peoples' life. The first modem Olympic Games were held in Athens in 1896 to signify the succession of the tradition. Since then the Games have been regularly held in different countries of the world.

Although athletes were technically amateurs, they were well supported by the Sports State Committee. In ice hockey, volleyball, basketball, gymnastics, track-and-field athletes, weight lifting, wrestling, and boxing our country was among the best in the world. At the 1992 Barcelona Olympics the team of our country won 45 gold medals.

The role of sport in our life

Sport is very important in our life. It is popular among young and old people. Many people do morning exercises, jog in the morning, train themselves in clubs, in different sections and take part in sport competitions. Other people like sports too, but they only watch sports games, listen to sports news. They prefer reading interesting stories about sportsmen. But they don't go in for sports. Physical training is an important subject at school. Pupils have got physical training lessons twice a week. Boys and girls play volley-ball and basket-ball at the lessons. There is a sports ground near our school and school-children go in for sports in the open air. A lot of different competitions are held at schools, a great number of pupils take part in them. All participants try to get good results and become winners. Sport helps people to keep in good health. If you go in for sports, you have good health and don't catch cold. Children and grown-ups must take care of their health and do morning exercises regularly. There are some popular kinds of sports in our country: football, volley-ball, hockey, gymnastics, skiing, skating. Athletics is one of the most popular kinds of sports. It includes such kinds of sports as running, jumping and others. Everybody may choose the sport he (or she) is interested in. There are summer and winter sports. My favourite sport is swimming. I go to the swimming-pool twice a week. But I prefer to rest by the lake or the river and swim there. My friend Kostya goes in for boxing, He is a good boxer and he is a brave and courageous boy. His hobby helps him in his everyday life. We must speak about the Highland Games in Scotland. All competitors wear Highland dress. There are such competitions as putting the weight, tossing the caber and others. The English are great lovers of sports.

Going in for sport

The fitness boom of the past decades led to a big rise in the numbers of people participating in sports and activities. Those who pursue the latest fitness fashion are convinced that staying in good physical form requires much more than regular exercise and balanced meals. For anyone who really wants to be healthy, fitness has become an integral part of their lives. A lot of health and fitness clubs, and public leisure centres that were created in many countries indicate the popularity of sports during the past thirty years. These centres with their swimming pools, sunshine beach, water slides, and tropical plants and gyms are very popular among the people. Families can spend their holidays at huge indoor water parks. In such places everybody will have much fun.

There are many opportunities for keeping fit. First of all it is necessary to do exercises.

People of different ages can design exercises that will fit them. Running, jumping, swimming, bending and stretching are among the most popular exercises. Many people prefer jogging, which is the cheapest and the most accessible sport. Walking is a very popular activity too. For example, popular running competitions are now held everywhere. Lots of people want to see if they can run faster than everyone else. The big city marathons have become sporting events. Television and newspapers report about them in detail. In order to keep fit some people do aerobics or yoga; others prefer some kind of weight training in a gym. People can easily learn more about fitness through popular books and videos that are sold almost everywhere. A healthy body becomes a fashion, an ideal of the life of today. Even moderate physical activity can protect against heart disease and strokes as well as improve general health and the quality of life. Everyone can benefit from being a little more active. Making small changes like using the stairs instead of the lift or walking or cycling instead of taking the bus can help people live a more active, healthier and enjoyable life. Many sports activities have become part of daily Russian life. Football has always been the most popular sport among boys. Playing football is healthy; football also brings people close because in order to win people have to work as a team. Bicycling is very popular in Russia. Skiing, skating, fishing and hunting are wide spread in our country. In summer many people like to go to the bank of the river on a hot day to swim. Another activity that is popular in our country is roller-skating. Today it has reached its peak in our country. At present the lack of facilities make enthusiasts use city pavements or parking lots.

Unfortunately, many people do not take enough exercise to keep themselves healthy. According to the statistics nowadays 60 percent of men and 91 percent of women are below activity levels necessary for a fit and healthy life. Many men and women are overweight.

Healthy lifestyle

- Why are people concerned with the healthy way of life nowadays?

- Everybody wants to live a long healthy life. Unfortunately, now it has become a dream. Because of the contaminated environment people suffer a lot of diseases. And the best way to be healthy is to do sports. Doing exercises is the best way to avoid depression caused by the abnormal rhythm of the contemporary city life.

- Do you do anything for keeping fit?

- I get up very early. Every morning I do my morning exercises. It takes me forty-five minutes to do them. Once a week I go to the swimming pool. On Sundays if the weather is fine I like to ride a bicycle in the park.

- Do you think that good appearance is the only motivation of being fit?

- Keeping fit is something that a person does alone. It is nice to look young and stay healthy as long as possible. Families can spend their free time jogging, walking, or swimming together. Some families like to get out of their city into the countryside. They can have much fun in the forests, or on the bank of a lake or a river. Just for fun they make boat trips or fish. Very often families spend their free time at huge indoor water parks, where they can play or relax. But this may not help them to get fitter. They simply enjoy being together.

- What may help people to get fitter?

- Taking exercise is only one part of keeping fit. It is important to get slim. Books and magazines about slimming are best sellers today. Some people eat nothing but fruit for several days. But it won't be of any use without proper exercises. Besides to avoid serious disease one should give up smoking. Efforts should be made to inform young people of the terrible consequences of taking up the habit. Smoking should be banned in all public places.

The secret of Japanese centenarians

The number of Japanese people hitting the landmark age of 100 has reached record levels. There are now 36?276 centenarians in the country - a rise of 4000 on last year figure, a report by the Health and Welfare Ministry found. Women make up the vast majority of those who are living past 100. Japan has one of the world's longest life expectancies, but there are concerns about the burden this is placing on society. Both the country's pension system and social services are under pressure from its burgeoning greying population.

According to the latest figures, almost 20?000 people were set to turn 100 this year alone - receiving a congratulatory silver cup and letter from the prime minister. While the number of Japan's centenarians has been rising for the last 40 years, the figures have accelerated in the past decade. UN projections suggest there will be nearly one million people over 100 years of age in Japan in 2050. Of the country's current centenarians, a staggering 86?% are women. The ministry, which released its annual report ahead of Japan's Respect For the Aged Day on 15 September, said its elderly population were living more active lives than ever. Japan's oldest woman is 113 and lives on the southern island of Okinawa, the ministry said. The oldest man is 112-year-old Tomoji Tanabe from the southern prefecture of Miyazaki. He rises early, reads his morning newspaper, has milk in the afternoon and writes his diary in the evening. Matsu Yamazaki is 103 years old but still works in her family's grocery shop in Tokyo, looks after her home and does puzzles to keep her mind agile. «Even if I go on living, I just don't want to lose my mind», she told the BBC in July. «I know lots of people who have lost their memory. They go out and wander around town and can't find their way home». The key to Japanese longevity has long been put down to a number of factors, including healthy diets, strong communities and excellent medical care.

Vocabulary

1) centenarian - вековой, столетний; человек ста (и более) лет

2) welfare - социальное обеспечение

3) life expectancy - средняя продолжительность жизни

4) burgeon - распускаться, расцветать

5) greying population - седеющее население; пожилое население

6) figures - данные

7) agile mind - живой ум

8) put down - приписывать (чему-л.)

9) UN - OOН

Sport and healthy lifestyle

Even if sports are not very important for you, you sure think of how to stay in good health as long as possible, how to have a high energy level, enthusiasm and zest for living, how not to feel tired after school. If you are going to say that it is not your obsession, I will not believe you. So, what do you do to keep fit? Do you go to a fitness club? They are very popular in the USA. Lots of people of different ages go to these clubs to workout. What is workout?

A workout is 25 percent of perspiration and 75 percent of determination. A workout makes you better today than you were yesterday. It strengthens the body, relaxes the mind, and toughens the spirit. When you workout regularly, your problems diminish, and your confidence grows. A workout is a personal triumph over laziness and procrastination. A workout is a wise use of time. It is a way of preparing for life challenges. A workout is a key that helps unlock the door to opportunity and success. Hidden within each of us is an extraordinary force. Physical and mental fitness are the triggers that can release it. A workout is a form of rebirth. When you finish a good workout you don't simply feel better, you feel better about yourself!

If you just do your morning exercises, you know how they work. They help you to wake up, be ready to your classes, and set you into a cheerful working mood. Some students like to exercise in the evening. They go to the gym for aerobics, weight lifting, playing basketball, volleyball, or tennis. Some young people prefer jogging, or swimming. Whatever sport you play be sure you do it in a proper way. If you like to run, wear proper running shoes and dress for the weather conditions. If you prefer to ride your bicycle, ride with a helmet and wear bright clothing. Always keep safety in mind.

It's great if you exercise every day or three times a week. Remember to warm up and cool down when exercising. A proper warm up increases the blood flow to your muscles, making your body parts more pliable and less likely to be injured.

How to remain healthy?

Many parents in the USA want their families to eat healthy and nutritious food nowadays. Fatty food is dangerous not only for adults but for children as well. It is advisable to have your cholesterol level checked regularly. Research shows that cutting cheese, butter and ice-cream from your diet will reduce your cholesterol level by 50 point and only this will decrease the risk of you developing heart problems. Research also shows that children are heavier today than they used to be some 20-30 years ago and the rate of obesity in little children has increased by nearly 60?%. More and more parents are troubled by what their children eat, introducing into family diets more fresh and canned fruit, vegetables and fish. They avoid paying regular visits to fast-food restaurants because McDonald's and the like serve unhealthy, fatty and high cholesterol food. People believe that low-fat diets and plenty of exercise will help to raise a healthy generation. But what exercise is best? For example, jogging. To jog or not to jog? That is the question. On the one hand, everyone should think about a healthy way of life… But on the other hand - getting up early at the weekend? Never! And what about swimming? What real pleasure is there in the pool? The warming up before swimming helps you to feel great. After a week sitting in front of the computer and at the desk your limbs are crying for a bit of exercise. And that music they use there is quite good - energetic and rhythmic. These 15 minutes of aerobics and 30 minutes of swimming work wonders. After that you feel ready for the next week's marathon. Instead of swimming or jogging you could go on a cycling tour. This kind of sport also does people a lot of good, and the morning air smells wonderful.

I don't really understand this obsession that people have with keeping fit these days. There's nothing wrong with being healthy, but with some people it's almost a religion. Nothing would make me go jogging. No, thank you. I'd rather sit and have a cup of tea or coffee while the joggers are out in the street. The idea of going out into the cold morning air to breath in petrol fumes doesn't appeal to me at all. I get my exercise by walking to the bus stop on my way to work. And what about the food people eat? I know a man who eats natural food, he takes a lot of vitamins but I have never seen anybody who looks so ill. I like good food. I think most healthy food is tasteless. There's nothing wrong in having a bar of chocolate or a big meal of meat and potatoes. A lot of people I know do yoga. I am not really sure what it is all about. I can't see much point in sitting on the floor with your feet behind your ears. It looks very uncomfortable to me. I am sure sitting in an armchair watching TV or reading a book is just as healthy. So as you see I am not really in favour of keeping fit. I don't jog or do any sports. I don't eat healthy food, but I'm happy the way I am.

What is my opinion of keeping fit? Everything is determined by our lifestyle. How much time you spend on food, how much exercise you get - these can regulate the balance between food and fitness. But some people go to extremes: eating for them is the surest way to an early grave. They spend their lifetime fighting a battle with their stomachs. They often keep to a diet and exhaust themselves doing exercises. They are always hungry. You can't be hungry and happy at the same time. What's all this torture for? People want to obtain the state of so-called beauty. But what is beauty? In my opinion, nobody can answer this question exactly.

For example, let's take women's beauty. In the Middle Ages a beautiful woman first of all had to be fat. Slim women were not in fashion. In the 18-19th centuries fat women were not considered beautiful. As for beauty nowadays, well, I think there are no definite ideals about it. All people are different: fat and slim, white and coloured, fair and dark-haired, tall and short. Really, it is very difficult to find a person who is pleased with her (his) appearance. Those with dark hair make their hair fair. People with smooth hair make it curly, those who were rewarded by nature with looks, carefully uncurl and smooth it with different gels and mousse. But I believe beauty has to be physical and spiritual. What do I mean when talking about spiritual beauty? I mean the beauty of the inner world of a person: kindness, responsibility, willingness to help, friendliness and other traits of character. Such person will give warmth to the people that surround him (or her). In my opinion, a truly beautiful person must combine physical beauty with good traits of character.

Dangers of doping

What is the big deal?

Most medications on the Prohibited List can be bought at a pharmacy - so they must be safe to use, right?

NO! Medications are for people with specific health issues - not for healthy athletes. They were not approved to be used by healthy people, in high doses and in combination with other substances.

What about dietary or nutritional supplements?

«All-natural. Pure. Fast results». Beware!

Supplement companies are not highly regulated - meaning you never know what you are taking. There could be a banned substance in your «all-natural» supplement.

What is at risk?

All medications have side effects - but taking them when your body doesn't need them can cause serious damage to your body and destroy your athletic career.

What else should you know?

Methods

There are also methods of administering substances or manipulating your physiology that are banned. These methods can also have negative effects on your body. For example: blood doping, including having blood transfusions to change the way your blood carries oxygen to the rest of your body, may result in:

§ an increased risk of heart failure, stroke, kidney damage and high blood pressure;

§ problems with your blood like infections, poisoning, overloading of your white cells, and reduction of platelet count;

§ problems with your circulatory system.

HIV/AIDS

As with any injectable drug, using a syringe to dope puts you at a higher risk for contracting infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS and hepatitis.

What happens to an athlete who uses?

Steroids

Steroids may make your muscles big and strong, but … you may become dependent on them and they may:

§ give you acne,

§ make you bald,

§ increase your risk of liver and cardiovascular disease,

§ give you mood swings,

§ make you more aggressive,

§ make you suicidal.

EPO (erythropoietin)

EPO (erythropoietin) may help with the way your body uses oxygen, but … why risk it when it may lead to death?

Using EPO may make your blood more like honey - thick and sticky - than water. Trying to pump this thick blood through your veins may:

§ make you feel weak - not good when you are trying to train hard;

§ give you high blood pressure;

§ make your heart work so hard that you have a heart attack or stroke (even at your age).

Stimulants

Stimulants are used to heighten the competitive edge, but … how edgy would you feel if you:

§ can't sleep (insomnia),

§ have involuntary shaking or trembling,

§ have problems with your coordination and balance,

§ are anxious and aggressive,

§ develop an increased and irregular heart rate,

§ have a heart attack (imaging dying of a heart attack at your age!) or stroke.

These are the effects that using stimulants may have on your body.

HGH (human growth hormone)

HGH (human growth hormone) may make muscles and bones stronger and recover faster, but … it is not only your muscles that get bigger. Using HGH may lead to:

§ acromegaly - protruding forehead, brow, skull and jaw - which can't be reversed;

§ an enlarged heart that can result in high blood pressure and even heart failure;

§ damage to your liver, thyroid and vision;

§ crippling arthritis.

Masking agents

Some athletes try to cheat the system by using diuretics and other substances to cover-up the signs of using banned substances.

The side effects can definitely affect your ability to compete and train. You may:

§ become dizzy or even faint;

§ become dehydrated;

§ get muscle cramps;

§ have a drop in blood pressure;

§ lose coordination and balance;

§ become confused and moody;

§ develop cardiac disorders.

Marijuana

Marijuana, cannabis, pot - whatever you call it, it is banned. Whether you are a pot-head or a casual user, marijuana may have a negative effect on your athletic performance and your health. Using may:

§ reduce your memory, attention, and motivation - even result in learning disabilities;

§ weaken your immune system;

§ affect your lungs (chronic bronchitis and other respiratory diseases, even throat cancer);

§ lead to psychological and physical dependence.

Narcotics

Narcotics, like heroin and morphine, may help you forget about the pain, but … how competitive do you think you'd be with a:

§ weakened immune system;

§ decreased heart rate and suppressed respiratory system (you can't compete if you are dead);

§ loss in balance, coordination and concentration;

§ gastrointestinal problem like vomiting and constipation;

§ narcotics are also highly addictive - your body and mind quickly become dependent on them.
