    It is very important to stay healthy. I have a neighbor. She is an old lady. She can do all the housework,   16   newspapers, watch TV and search on the Internet to learn something new. I often see   17   do taijiquan in the morning and dance in the evening. She looks young and beautiful   18   she is over seventy. Last week a reporter from a magazine interviewed her and asked   19   she kept so young and healthy. She replied with a smile:

    I have a secret of staying young and healthy. It is quite   20  . Keep your mind active, take an interest in the world   21   you, and learn at least one new thing every day. Try to do different kinds of housework and do sports as   22   as you can. Don’t think you are too old to go back to   23   . 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   24   tennis. Some people may say staying young is easy only for those who live in the future. In fact, no matter how old you are, you can make it.

    Please tell the story to your family. It would be a good start to   25   the lady’s example. I hope all people will stay young and healthy.

Much of the information we have today about chimpanzees（黑猩猩）comes from the research of Jane Goodall.

From an early age, Jane was interested in animals and animal stories. At the age of 10, she was talking about going to Africa to live among the animals there. At that time, in the early 1940s, this was a radical（激進(jìn)的）idea because women did not go to Africa by themselves.

As a young woman, Jane finished school in London and then worked for filmmaker for a while. When a school friend invited her to visit Kenya, she worked as a waitress until she had earned（掙）the fare to travel there by boat. She was 23 years old at that time.

Once in Kenya, she met Dr. Louis Leakey, a famous paleontologist（古生物學(xué)家）. He was impressed with her knowledge of Africa and its wildlife and hired her to help him and his wife on a fossil-hunting tour. Dr. Leakey soon realized that Jane was the perfect person to complete a study he had been planning for some time. she expressed her interest in the idea of studying animals by living in the wild with them, rather than studying dead animals like fossils（化石）.

Chris is not a traditional explorer --- he usually works in an office for a large organization. However, Chris' job can be just as exciting and dangerous as being an explorer.

Chris works for MSF, an organization also known as .Doctors Without Borders. Since1971, MSF has sent trained doctors all over the world to help people who have suffered from disasters, such as wars and illnesses. Chris is a doctor from France who has traveled to many places to organize programs that help people.

At the moment, over 27,000 trained doctors have taken part in MSF projects. The organization received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1999. All kinds of doctors can volunteer for MSF. They need to be ready to go almost anywhere in the world and, of course, they should face difficulties. Most of MSF's work is in Africa. When MSF chooses a doctor for a task, they have to go for at least six months. When doctors have completed a few tasks, they might be sent on an emergency task following a disaster, such as an earthquake.

But why would doctors leave a comfortable life and a good pay to join MSF? According to Chris, the experience they have is a great help in their life. What's more, just like the explorers of the past, they need to keep an open mind and learn to get on well with the people they meet. One thing that they can say at the end of any task is that they have made a real difference to people’s lives.
