In April Florence moved to Hillbury. She wanted to work as secretary there, but she almost ended up in hospital because on her first day there she had milk for lunch. Unfortunately, nobody in Hillbury of early sixties knew that young woman, who had been allergic to milk as child, could fall seriously ill after years.
As Doctor Blender put it: " people forget about their early diseases, but nature is tricky. Ms Florence has to take medicine, she should take pills I prescribed her three times day. They are very expensive, they cost $ 5.60 dozen."
"What nuisance," replied patients who had been listening to Doctor Blender, but Fiona's answer was: "I don't mind, I'll get pills at chemist's round corner.]

Until near... end of... 19th century it was the law in... England that if... man was unable to pay... debt, even... small one, he could be impris­oned.

... great English novelist Charles Dickens knew... great deal about the debtors' prisons from per­sonal experience, for when he was about ten, his father was imprisoned for debt, and... whole fam­ily had to go arid live with him in... prison be­cause they had nowhere else to live. ... mother and... children, however, could leave... place when they wished; but at ten o'clock every evening... great gates were shut for the night, and no one could leave or enter until morning. Dickens de­scribed... life in the debtors' prisons in some of his novels. It was largely because of Dickens' sharp criticism that... English Government was finally forced to do away with... debtors' prisons.

In today's world, people have less time for eating, let alone 1) shopping/cooking. That's why junk food is so popular. In fact, one 2) hotel/restaurant group has announced that its 3) guests/staff can order 4) junk/fast food through room service. Junk food is 5) high/ low in saturated fat, which is linked with a higher risk of 6) diabetes/cancer. Our eating habits have changed due to lack of 7) money/time. Also, the amount of exercise we do has 8) decreased/increased. Researchers suggest that the new generation will be more likely to suffer from heart and 9) kidney/liver disease. But if we improve our eating habits, we will be better equipped to deal with our 10) stressful/boring lifestyles.

Junk Food

In today's fast-moving world, people have less and less time to spend eating, let alone cooking. It is probably for this reason that junk food has become so popular, and there's no doubt that it's here to stay. In fact, it seems that you simply can't get away from it. One British hotel group recently announced that its guests are able to order fast food through room service, a move which is seen by many as signifying a new era in the couch potato lifestyle. So what exactly is junk food?

The best advice, then, for those who cannot live without their hamburgers or chocolate bars, is to limit the amount of junk food they eat. A little now and then will probably do no harm. But why have our eating habits changed? "It's lack of time and loss of tradition," says one expert.

Another alarming thing about people's lifestyles today is that while the amount of junk food we eat has increased, the amount of exercise we do has actually decreased. Exercise plays an important part in keeping the body fit and healthy; it helps to control our weight and, if taken regularly, can also decrease our chances of having a heart attack in later life.
