Simplify your life

Take a moment to look around you. Look at your house, your clothes, your possessions, your computer, your
gadgets. What do you see?
Most people would say they see an incredible amount of “stuff.” I say “stuff” because of what we all
accumulate every day, every month, and every year—often things that we don’t really need. We gather stuff
because we can. It may be fun or a distraction or maybe even a hobby. This habit of gathering things has, for
many, spread from our homes to our inboxes without us even realizing it.
Maybe you think it is time to simplify your life, to think about what you have and why. Simplifying can help
free you from all the stuff.
Here are some ideas for simplifying your life:
• Your stuff. What do you need? What do you enjoy having? Anything you don’t need or enjoy can be
donated to charity, given to friends, or recycled. Don’t think about it too much, just do it. Next time
you want to buy something, ask yourself whether spending less would have a positive impact on your
environment, your lifestyle, and on your bank account.
• Digital you. Ask yourself these questions. Do I use all my digital devices? Do I use all my apps? How
much time do I spend on screens every day? You probably could cut back on the amount of time you
spend by reducing these things.
• Goals. Many people start the day with a long list of tasks they want to do. If this is you, ask yourself
whether your “to do” list has necessary tasks or just things to fill the time. Not all of your time has to
have structure.
Do you need to simplify your life?

1 According to the writer, most people have too many things .

A in their houses
B on their computers
C both in their houses and on their computers
2 According to the writer, most people .
A don’t think about spending money
B plan carefully before spending money
C spend money before they have it
3 Before we throw something away, the writer says we should .
A think about if we enjoy it
B not think about it too much
C think about the environment
4 The writer thinks that making lists of tasks to do .
A is important for simplifying
B is important for structuring your time
C is sometimes not very helpful

HOW MUCH PROTEIN?

We are constantly being told about what we should eat more of and what we should eat less of. In
recent years “superfoods” have gained a lot of interest. Superfoods are supposedly foods that can
improve our health and prolong our lives. The lists of these foods appear to be a random selection of
exotic foods like seaweed and chia seeds and more common foods like apples.
Nutritionists and other so-called experts also like to inform us of ways to lose weight. As with healthy
eating, the information about how to lose weight changes from year to year. It’s often influenced by
what celebrities recommend or by what is considered fashionable. One diet that comes back in style
again and again is that of eating mostly protein and cutting the fats. But, is this a healthy diet choice?
Protein is essential for our body, especially for repairing cells. An average adult is supposed to eat about
0.75 grams of protein a day. A lack of protein could result in loss of hair and muscle. But what happens
if we eat too much? According to experts it is virtually impossible to eat too much protein if we are
generally healthy. They advise people to consume protein from natural sources instead of dietary
supplements and shakes. However, they warn those who do increase the amount of protein they eat
not to cut out too many carbohydrates. They too are important in our diet.

1 Superfoods are not common foods. True / False

2 Information about healthy foods and diets is constantly changing. True / False
3 Too much protein is dangerous for our health. True / False
4 We should avoid eating dietary supplements for protein. True / False
5 It’s important to eat both protein and carbohydrates. True / False
