DANCING EFFECTS ON THE HUMAN BODY

  These days, people love to watch other people

dance. Competitive dance shows, like “So you think you

 can dance” and “Dancing with the stars”, are dominating

the world of reality television. So, if you get off the sofa

[5]  and dance, you can keep your body and mind healthy.

Studies show that dancing can improve your heart

health, helps you lose weight and stay flexible, reduces

stress and can also help you get old in a pleasant way.

  Dancing, as an aerobic exercise, can reduce the

[10]  risk of heart problems and high blood pressure. You can

learn ballroom dancing, participate in a dance-fitness

class or dance with a video in your house. There are

many ways to enjoy dancing and get a good aerobic

exercise at the same time.

[15]   Dance training helps you to lose weight. The

number of calories burned per hour depends on the type

of dance and the weight of the dancer. Observe the chart

below.

[25] 

  Another good effect is that dancing works on the
part of the brain that controls memory – hippocampus.
So, what are you waiting for? Let's dance!

HIGHLAND LIFE
What is life like for people who live in the Highlands of Scotland?

    Scotland, famous for its whisky, its wool, its kilts, and many other fine things, covers about a third of the
territory of Great Britain. Britain has a population of about 64 million inhabitants — yet less than ten per cent of them
now live in Scotland, about 5.3 million people. And most of those 5.3 million people live in or near three urban centres,
Glasgow, Edinburgh, and Dundee.
[5]    In the Highlands, which cover most of Scotland, the population is very thin. In many places — if there is
actually a road — you can drive for over 30 kilometres without seeing any human habitation, except perhaps a solitary
"croft", a small farm. Yet here and there, there are small towns; most of them are beside the sea. They have their
inhabitants and their economic activities, their children and their teenagers.
    This Highlander, in traditional military uniform, is carrying bagpipes, and wearing a kilt. He also has a black
[10] leather sporran.
    What is "a Highlander"?
    If you ask someone to describe a Highlander to you, he will probably come up with the type of image you see
in whisky advertisements. A man wearing a kilt and a sporran, and standing on a misty mountain near a haunted
castle. The man plays the bagpipes, eats porridge and haggis, and drinks whisky. Now while it is true that whisky is
[15] indeed a favourite drink in the Highlands, the rest of the image is a long way from everyday reality.
    Few Highlanders wear the kilt, except on special occasions or for ceremony.
    Clans, Kilts & Tartans
    You can't talk of the Highlands without talking of clans and kilts and tartans. A "clan" is a sort of tribe — a
group of people who belong to the same extended family, or have the same historic origin. In the past, each part of
[20] the Highlands was the territory of a clan. Clans were closely linked communities, each with its own chief. Clans were
— and still are — distinguished by their tartan. A tartan is a specific design, a criss-cross of couloured threads, which
is used for ceremonial clothes, such as the kilt or the plaid.
