     To get an extra 14 years of life, don't smoke, eat lots of fruits and vegetables, exercise regularly

and drink alcohol in a proper amount. That is according to a study published this Monday in the Public

Library of Science Medicine Journal.

     After tracking more than 20,000 people aged 45-79 years in the United Kingdom from about

1993-2007, Kay-Tee, Khaw of the University of Cambridge and his colleagues found that people who

adopted these four healthy habits lived an average of 14 years longer than those who didn't.

     "We've known for a long time that these behaviors are good things to do, but we've not seen this

benefit before," said Susan Jebb, head of Nutrition and Health at Britain's Medical Research Council."The

benefit was also seen regardless of whether or not people were fat and what social class they came from."

     Study participants (参与者) scored a point each for not smoking, regular physical activity, eating five

servings of fruits and vegetables a day and moderate alcohol intake.

     Public health experts said they hoped the study would inspire governments to introduce policies helping

people to adopt these changes. But because the study only observed people rather than testing specific

changes, it would be impossible to conclude that people who suddenly adopted these healthy behaviours

would surely gain 14 years.

     "We can't say that any person could gain 14 years by doing these things," said Doctor Tim Armstrong,

a physical activity expert at the World Health Organization." The 14 years is an average across the

population of what's theoretically (理论上) possible."

     "Most people know that things like a good diet matter and that smoking is not good for them", Susan

Jebb said,"We need to work on providing people with much more practical support to help them change."

Most people want to know how things are made. They honestly admit, however, that they hardly know a thing when it comes to understanding how a piece of music is made. Where a composer begins, how he manages to keep going – in fact, how and when he learns his trade – all are covered in complete darkness. The composer, in short, is a man of mystery .

One of the first things the common man wants to know about is the part inspiration plays in a composer’s work. He finds it difficult to believe that composers are not much interested in that question. Writing music is as natural for the composer as eating or sleeping for all. Music is something that the composer happens to have been born for.

The composer, therefore, does not say to himself: “Do I feel inspired?” He says to himself: “Do I feel like working today?” And if he feels like working, he does. It is more or less like saying to himself: “Do I feel sleepy?” If you feel sleepy, you go to sleep. If you don’t feel sleepy, you stay up. If the composer doesn’t feel like working, he doesn’t work. It’s as simple as that.
