Здравствуйте!
 Это внеочередной  выпуск.
 Надо вам поработать с текстом.


I. Shigechiyo Izumi walked forward to greet us.He was bent almost double, with watery eyes, white beard and deeply wrinkles skin. Yet his mind is still vigorous. He could remember both his childhood  more than 100 years ago and the people he met the day best important, he still enjoys life which, he says, has never ceased  to be a pleasure. Surprisingly, his eyesight is still functional. He also hears well although it is necessary to speak loudly and distinctly.
II.    All his life Izumi has worked as a small farmer. He says that
The motonous life is good. Why has he lived so long? Clearly his zest for life has helped. But his physical fitness as a young man and his diet  throughout life are probably the key. As a young man Izumi fit. He was a local champion in sumo  wrestling. But he did not have  to train specially. His fitness came through hard work on the farm  and tasks such as carrying potatoes to market on his back. Such exercise is now known to be very effective in lowering harmful of cholesterol in the blood.
III.    As for diet, for most of his life Izumi has lived on vegetables
his farm - potatoes, sweet potatoes, beans, tomato, cucumber,
carrots  and cabbage. Izumi ate meat only on festival days. There was,anyway , little meat to be had and his simple, largely vegetarian, diet changed little during his first 100 years.
IV. Anyway, Izumi's age is only the spectacular peak of a trend towards longevity in Japan. The life expectancy of the Japanese has risen by eight years since 1960. It is now the highest in the world: 74 men, 80 for women. This compares with UK figures of 71 for men and 77 for women. The Japanese now live longer on average than people in Sweden, Canada, Iceland and France, which formerly led the  world in longevity. The reason for Japan's improvement is almost certainly a low incidence of coronary heart disease.
V. Izumi himself does not like to be asked what the secret is of his longevity. He feels that he just happens to have had a long life and  there is no special reason for it. Pressed for an answer he says: “Only God knows. God will decide how long I am here."
