Passage Seven
If you want to stay young， sit down and have a good think. This is the research result of professor Faulkner， who says that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise and as a result， we are ageing unnecessarily soon.
Professor Faulkner wanted to find out why healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and to reason at a relatively early age， and how the process of ageing could be slow down.
He set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and occupations.
Computer technology enabled him to obtain precise measurements of the volume of the front and side sections of the brain， which relate to intelligence and emotion， and determine the human character.
Contraction of front and side parts - as cells die off - was observed in some subjects in their thirties， but it was still not evident in some sixty-and seventy-year-olds.
Faulkner concluded from his tests that there is a simple way to slow the contraction - using the head.
The findings show that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns. Those least at risk， says Faulkner， are lawyers， followed by university professors and doctors. White-collar workers doing routine work are， however， as likely to have shrinking brains are as the farm worker， bus driver and shop assistant.
Faulkner‘s findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking. Blood must circulate properly in the head to supply the fresh oxygen the brain cells need. “The best way to maintain good blood circulation is through using the brain，” he says. “Think hard and engage in conversation. Don’t rely on pocket calculator.”

Passage Eight
News has just been received of an air crash in the north of England. The plane， which was on a charter flight from London to Carlisle， was carrying a party of businessmen on their way to a trade fair. It seems likely that the plane ran into a heavy fog as it was approaching Carlisle and was obliged to circle for some twenty minutes. Everything seemed to be going well. The pilot was in constant radio communication with Ground Control when the engines suddenly cut out and all contact was lost. The plane crashed on the site of the ancient Roman camp at Hadrian‘s Hill， a place well known to archaeologists and tourists.
So far few details have been reported， but it is feared that at least twenty people lost their lives， among them the pilot， who was killed instantly. The local ambulances and firemen were on the scene within minutes of the crash， but additional help had to be rushed from other areas.
Mr. Lesilie Collins， one of the survivors， told our reporter， “We passengers noticed the engines were making a funny noise. Of course we couldn‘t see anything because of the fog， but the pilot said there was nothing to worry about. The next thing we know， the engines went dead. There was a rushing noise - and after that I don’t remember any more.”
Mr. Collins is now in hospital， being treated for minor injuries. We will be bringing you further news of the crash as we receive it. In the meantime relatives are asked to ring 02-3457211 for information.
