HEALTH AND HAPPINESS

Health experts suggest that ……[<1>]… healthy and happy, it‘s important

……[<2>]… the yin represents the passive elements This expresses the importance of balance in ……[<3>]… of living Today health experts agree that it‘s important to have a balanced life For example, they‘ve said it‘s necessary to have a balance between work and rest and to have a balanced exercise program

……[<4>]… , I‘m sure you‘d agree that in our busy world, it‘s not always easy

to get and keep balance in our lives

……[<5>]… business or study deadlines, many people work to excess, leaving little time at the end of their busy day to spend with family and friends They eat fast - food and don‘t get enough rest or recreation and then suffer badly from the effects of stress It‘s sad that this situation often happens when people

……[<8>]… to work or education Balance means allocating enough time for all the important aspects of life, such as spending time with family and friends, working or studying, as well as resting and relaxing

Experts now tell us that having balance in our life is the answer, not only to health and happiness, ……[<9>]… to success If you‘re balanced, you‘ll have more energy and you‘ll reach your ambitions in a more relaxed fashion; with less stress So ……[<10>]… is your life?

Indeed, playing some of the more complicated games may help people of all ages to improve certain skills Researchers claim that this is because the games………30……the brain work harder in certain ways, like…… 31……sounds and movements quickly and identifying what they are The fact that people play the games

Social skills may benefit, too Researchers in Chicago think that fans of first- person

shooter games……33…… ―Counterstrike” are better than non-players when it comes to

building trust and co-operation, and that this…… 34……them to make good friendships and become strong members of their communities So rather than…… 35…….up computer games, perhaps young people need to spend more time on them?
