PASSAGE 1: A New Way to Relieve Student Stress

It’s the last week of the semester at the University of Wisconsin. The students are preparing for their final exams. Of
course, this is a very stressful week for many of them. Some are at the library, but they are not studying. Instead, they
are sitting and relaxing with dogs, but they are not wasting their time. The Health Department of the university brings
the dogs to the school library for the students. The dogs help them to feel less stress as they prepare for their finals.
Counselors from the school bring the dogs, but they also bring advice for the students about how to feel less anxious.
They advised the students to take short study breaks — even five minutes every hour — to reduce stress. These
frequent breaks also help the students to remember information. In addition, the counselors advised the students to
get enough sleep. “Don’t drink a lot of coffee because that will prevent you from sleeping,” one counselor suggests.
“Try not to worry so much,” another counselor says, “and ask your friends and family for their assistance.” Manuel
Perez, a University of Wisconsin student, says that all of the advice is very useful. However, he says, “The dogs are
the most useful of all. When I’m petting one, I feel much more relaxed and then I’m ready to hit the books.

PASSAGE 2: how to fight flu this winter?

The flu jab: The flu jab is one possible way to prevent flu. The injection can be given by your local doctor or at the
hospital. When virus proteins are injected into the blood, your body recognizes them as foreign and makes antibodies.
The antibodies are then ready to fight the flu virus if you are unlucky enough to catch it. Research shows that, on
average, having a flu jab reduces your chances of getting flu by 60-80 percent. Some people feel tired or experience
flu-like symptoms for a few days after the jab.

Vitamins: If you don’t like the idea of having an injection, you could try taking vitamin supplements.Vitamin C is
effective; however, taking vitamin C when you already have the flu won’t cure you. If you take it before you get the flu,
it can help to reduce the length and severity of the illness. Another viable choice is the Cod liver oil. It may taste
unpleasant, but it is full of vitamins A and D, which help fight germs.

Healthy lifestyle: By choosing a healthy lifestyle, you will reduce stress and help your body protect itself from the flu.
Make sure you do some kind of exercise three times a week for at least 20 minutes. You also need to have balanced
diet. Do not eat fried or smoke food. Try to eat as much fresh fruit and vegetablesas possible - at least five portions a
day. Choose fiber rich vegetables like carrots, broccoli and oats. Eat foods which are rich in zinc, such as potatoes,
liver and whole wheat bread.
