contracting the disease. There is even convincing evidence to show that virus strain are transmitted from place
place and from continent to continent by migrating birds.
It is known that two influenza viruses can recombine when both are present in an animal at the same time. Th
result of such recombination is a great variety of strains containing different H and N spikes. This raises th
possibility that a human influenza virus can recombine with an influenza virus from a lower animal to produce a
entirely new spike. Research is underway to determine if that is the way major new strains come into bein
Another possibility is that two animal influenza strains may recombine in a pig, for example, to produce a ne
strain which is transmitted to man.

A. cause ill health in wild animals B. do not always cause symptoms in birds

How long will a baby born today live? 100 years? 120 years? Scientists are studying genes that could mea

There are already many, many people who have passed the landmark age of 100. In fact, there are now s
many healthy, elderly people that there’s a name for them: the wellderly. These are people over the age of eigh
who have no major illnesses, such as high blood pressure, heart disease or diabetes.
There are many scientific studies of communities where healthy old age is typical. These include places lik
Calabria in southern Italy and the island of Okinawa in Japan. In Calabria, the small village of Molochio has abo
2,000 inhabitants. And of these, there are at least eight people over a hundred years old. When researchers as
people like this the secret of their long life, the answer is almost always about food and is almost always the sam

In the past, scientists looked at things such as diet and lifestyle for an explanation of long life, these day
they are also looking at genetics. Researcher Eric Topol says that there must be genes that explain why people a
protected from the effects of aging process. The new research into long life did scrutinize groups of people wh
have a genetic connection. One interesting group lives in Ecuador. In one area of the country there are a number
people with the same genetic condition. It’s called Laron syndrome. These people don’t grow very tall – just ov
one metre. But Laron syndrome also give them protection against cancer and diabetes. As a result, they live long
than other people in their families. Meanwhile, on the Hawaiian island of Oahu, there’s another group of long-live
men, Japanese-Americans. They have a similar gene to the Laron syndrome group.
Back in Calabria, researchers constructed the family trees of the 100-year-old people. They looked at fami
information from the 19th century to today. It is concluded that there are genetic factors that give health benefits
the men. This is a surprising result because generally in Europe, women live longer than men. So what real
makes people live longer? It seems likely that it is an interaction of genes, the environment and probably a thir
factor – luck.

A. This syndrome is a health problem for groups of people in Ecuador and Hawaii.
B. It is the result of a genetic condition.
C. People diagnosed with this syndrome are prone to diabetes.
D. Ecuadorians having Laron syndrome are approximately one metre tall.

A. The Secrets of A Long And Healthy Life B. Tips To Increase Life Expectancy
C. How To Live More Than 100 Years? D. Human Lifespan Is Determined by Genetics
58. Who are the wellderly?
A. They are old people with health problems. B. They are young people with health problems.

PERSONALITY AND HEALTH

There is increasing evidence that health is linked to personality. However, until now, the relationship has n
affected the way health care is delivered. There are several reasons for this. Some health workers doubt wheth
there is a direct link between health and personality or whether it’s just a coincidence. Some feel it is the
professional duty to treat all patients in the same way. Others argue that delivering health services according
patients’ personalities will have minimal impact and therefore isn’t worth the effort. However, some psychologis
believe that applying different procedures to people with different personalities could have a significant, positiv
effect on health.
Research into personality has, in recent years, focused on the Big Five model of personality types. This mod
measures how neurotic, extrovert, open to experience, agreeable and conscientious a person is. Some of the
personality types have been studied in relation to health. For example, conscientious people tend to be less likely
smoke, drink too much alcohol or be inactive. However, in other cases, the relationship is less clear. Neurot
behaviour, for instance, has been found in some studies to increase the risk of death, in others to protect peop
from illness and in others to have no link to health at all.
Even so, if health workers applied an understanding of personality to the services they provide, they cou
influence the extent to which patients act on advice and follow their treatment. For example, high sensation-seekin
individuals, who are extrovert and unconscientious in the Big Five model and tend to take part in risky activitie
respond to drama, energy and emotion. Thus, to encourage those people to follow health advice, health promotion
can be designed to incorporate those factors. An example of this was the campaign SENTAR which aimed
reduce cannabis use among high sensation- seeking teenagers. By creating a suitable television advert, the
successfully engaged these youths and reduced their recreational drug use. Of course, this approach isn’t alway
possible. It is often impractical and expensive to create several versions of a campaign to reach differe
personality types. However, recent developments in computer technology, cookies and targeted advertising ma
allow this approach to be used more in future.
Personality could also be considered when sending messages, information and guidance to specific patient
Already, health information is usually available in various forms – printed, digital, audio, and so on – to be suitab
and accessible for different users, such as the blind, the elderly, and people with reading difficulties. Research h
also shown that, by identifying different patients’ motivations for treatment and then corresponding with them in
way that reflects their motivations, patients will become more involved in their treatment, compared to when th
same messages are sent to everyone. Correspondence could, therefore, be adapted to reflect patients’ personali
type, too. For example, less conscientious people could be sent phone reminders to attend appointments. So fa
there has been very little research into the effectiveness of tailoring health guidance according to personality, so th
area deserves further study.
Until now, the focus of personality-health research has been to explore the link between personality and heal
and has had very little practical application. Thus, health workers have not engaged deeply with it. However, b
suggesting, trialing and implementing practices to engage patients with different personalities, the relationsh
between psychology researchers and health workers could improve, along with the health of the general public.
63. Who is the article most likely aimed at?
