Alicia was a young woman who liked to exercise for her health. In fact, she walked five kilometers before
24 every morning, and went swimming once a week at the swimming pool. She didn’t smoke and never
25 . She didn’t eat chocolate. She didn’t eat sweet and fatty food, 26 . She weighed herself every day.
One day Alicia was on her daily walk when she saw a 27 sitting in a rocking chair under a tree. He

looked very old and his hair was white. He looked thin and weak, and his hands were shaking, 28 he looked
very happy.
He smiled at her and said, “Good morning! Lovely day, isn’t it?”
He had a wide smile 29 his face, and his eyes shone with happiness. But Alicia saw that he did not have

teeth.
“Good morning!” said Alicia. “Yes, it is a lovely day.”
Alicia thought he 30 very old and wise. She thought he must be at least 90 years old! She decided to ask
him about the 31 of a happy old age.

“I hope you don’t 32 me asking,” she said, “but what is your secret of being so happy at your age? I hope
I can look as happy as you do 33 I am your age.”
The man in the rocking chair said, “My secret for 34 ? I smoke twenty packets of cigarettes every week,
and drink three bottles of wine every day. I eat hamburgers and chocolates whenever I want. I never eat vegetables.

I never walk anywhere and I never play sports. I sit at home every day.”
Alicia was 35 . She didn’t expect the man to give her an answer like that. She wondered how the man got
to be so old when he did 36 wrong. She thought he should be 37 and unhappy. Perhaps she was wrong.
Maybe, she thought, people could live a long happy life 38 eating well or doing lots of exercise.

“How old are you?” she asked.
“It’s my birthday today,” said the man. “I’m forty—seven!”
