strong relationships, succeed at w o r k , and achieve your goals.

(1) D
The first key skill of emotional intelligence is the ability to quickly calm yourself
d o w n when you're feeling overwhelmed. This emotional intelligence skill helps you
stay balanced, focused, and in control — no matter what challenges you face.
(2)
Many p e o p l e are disconnected from their emotions — especially strong core
emotions such as anger, sadness, fear, and j o y . But although w e can distort,
d e n y , or numb our feelings, w e can't eliminate t h e m . They're still there,
whether w e ' r e aware of them or not.

(3)
Being a g o o d communicator requires more than just verbal skills. Oftentimes, what
w e say is less important than how w e say it or the other nonverbal signals
w e send out. In order t o hold the attention of others and build connection
and trust, w e need t o be aware of and in control of our nonverbal cues. Our
nonverbal messages will produce a sense of interest, trust, excitement, and desire
for connection — or they will generate fear, confusion, distrust, and disinterest.

(4)
Humour, laughter, and play are natural antidotes t o life's difficulties. They lighten
our burdens and help us keep things in perspective. A g o o d hearty laugh reduces
stress, elevates m o o d , and brings our nervous system back into balance.

(5)
Conflicts and disagreements are inevitable in relationships. Two people can't
possibly have the same needs, opinions, and expectations at all times. H o w e v e r ,
that n e e d n ' t b e a bad thing! Resolving conflict in healthy, constructive ways
can strengthen trust b e t w e e n p e o p l e .
A) Connect t o your emotions
B) Resolve conflict positively
C) Use humour and play t o deal with challenges
D) Rapidly reduce stress
E) Nonverbal communication

How to Get Motivated

Motivation is a force that inspires a person t o take action. W h e n a terrible
need t o resolve an unfavourable situation arises or the desire t o acquire
something is very strong, a person is driven and inspired. Out of necessity he
acquires the inner strength. This is self-motivation.
What can w e d o t o develop self-motivation?

1) В
W h a t d o you want? W h a t kind of job w o u l d you like? Do you wish for more
money? W i t h o u t goals and vision, you'll lack the drive t o thrive. You'll spend
your days upon awakening t o bedtime doing the same routines.
Setting goals is therefore necessary. W h e n y o u have written goals, it shows
that you are serious about succeeding, know what you want and where y o u
are heading.

2)
You need a balance between work, family and recreation. In order to avoid feeling
stressed, you have to make it a habit to plan your day and week in advance.
Decide what you are going t o d o . W h e n y o u have a plan set up with your
personal values in mind, you will fully utilize your time and will not neglect
the important p e o p l e in your life.

3)
Self-imposed discipline leads t o success. Having set your goals and knowing
the reasons t o why you want t o achieve them will make it easy for you t o
d o the things that you should and must d o even when you d o n ' t feel like
doing t h e m .

4)
One of the ways t o cultivate positive thinking is t o hang around with people
who have the right attitude and are optimistic. Try t o minimize your encounters
and interactions with the pessimists w h o have the inclination t o pull you d o w n .

5)
Your energy and drive decline when you are sick. Do a little exercise each
day t o maintain your physical health, if you can run, run. If you prefer t o
walk, then walk. Eat well and avoid toxic elements into your system.
A) Hang around with positive people.
B) Set your goals.
C) Stay healthy.
D) Develop self-discipline.
E) Plan your activities.

The Science of Tsunami

A tsunami is a series of huge hailstorms/fyavep that occur as the result of

a violent underwater disturbance, such as an earthquake/tornado or volcanic
hazard/eruption. The waves travel in all directions from the epicentre of the
disturbance. The waves may travel in the open sea as fast as 450 miles per
hour. As they travel in the open ocean, tsunami waves/funnels are generally
not particularly large — hence the difficulty in d e t e c t i n g the approach of
a tsunami. But as these powerful waves approach shallow waters along the
coast, their quickness is slowed and they consequently g r o w t o a great height
before occurring/smashing into the shore. They can g r o w as high as 100 feet;
the Indian Ocean tsunami generated waves reaching 30 feet.
 They are sometimes mistakenly referred t o as tidal/avalanche waves, but
tsunamis have nothing t o do with the tides. Tsunamis have been relatively rare
in the Indian Ocean, and are most common in the Pacific Ocean.

Thomas Gainsborough is known as an excellent women painter. «The Portrait of the
Duchess de Befou», «Mrs Siddons», «Two Daughters» are among his best pictures.
His portraits are painted in clear tones in which blue and gray predominate.
One of his best pictures is «The Portrait of Duchess de Befou».
In the picture w e can see a young noble w o m a n ; her charming face is fresh
and lively. Her calm elegant pose shows us her nobility. It seems that in
this portrait Gainsborough followed the rules of traditional ceremonial portraits.
But it is not so. The pursed lips of the w o m a n , a timid gesture of her hand
create a true impression of the sitter.
The artist has a wonderful sense of colour, line and composition. He uses light
and shade effectively. The picture is painted mostly in light tones on the dark
background. Numerous shades of blue prevail in the picture. The combination of
pink shades in her face and body are contrasted with grey and blue shades on her
hair, dress and scarf. It makes an impression of freshness and beauty. Gainsborough
skillfully depicts the details of her dress. The woman is graceful and charming. It is
exhibited in the Hermitage in St Petersburg.
Thomas Gainsborough greatly influenced the English school of landscape
painting. He was one of the first English artists w h o painted their native land.
His delicate understanding of nature is especially felt in the pictures where
he s h o w e d peasants. The best landscapes of his are: « W a t e r i n g РІасе» and
«Harvest W a g g o n » . Both of them are exhibited in the National Gallery.
A m o n g his other landscapes are: «The Sunset», «The Market Card» and «The
C o t t a g e D o o r » . His great love for the countryside and his ability t o show it
made him an innovator in this field. He was the first English artist w h o painted
his native countryside so sincerely.

William Joseph Turner (1774—1851) was the greatest English romantic, landscape
and marine painter. He was a son of a fashionable barber, started drawing
and painting at an early age. His father used t o sell the b o y ' s drawings t o
his customers and in such a way he earned money for the b o y ' s learning
of art. A t 14 he entered the Royal A c a d e m y School. His watercolours w e r e
exhibited at the Royal Academy when he was only 15. A t 18 he started his
o w n studio and received a commission t o make drawings for magazines. For
some years he tramped over Wales and W e s t e r n England. As Turner never
married, he d e v o t e d his life t o art. Visitors w e r e rarely admitted to his house
and no one was allowed t o see him at w o r k . He loved his paintings as a man
loves his children. A t the age of 27 he was elected as a Royal Academician.
From that time his paintings came t o be in great demand and brought g o o d
money. He spent the last years of his life in a little c o t t a g e at Chelsea.
He liked t o watch the sunrise and sunset.. A n d it is said that only a hour
before his death he had his chair wheeled t o the w i n d o w , so that for the
last time he might look at the sun shining upon the river.
During his life Turner created some hundreds of paintings and some thousands of
watercolours and drawings. After his death his o w n entire collection of paintings
and drawings was left to the nation. They are exhibited at the National and Tate
Galleries in London. Some of his famous pictures are: «The Fighting Тетегаіге»,
«Rain, Steam and Speed», «Light and Colour» and others.

TEST 1
Diamonds and Toads
Once upon a time there was a widow who had two daughters. The elder sister was very much
like her mother in the face and character. They were both so selfish, disagreeable and so proud
that there was nobody who liked them.
The younger daughter was the very picture of her father — kind, with sweet temper, and also
one of the most beautiful girls ever seen. As people usually love their own likeness, it's natural
that the mother adored her elder daughter and couldn't stand the younger one. She made her
eat in the kitchen and work from morning till night.
Among other things, twice a day the poor child had to bring a big jug of water from a well
which was about a mile and a half from her house. One day, as she was at the well, a poor
woman came to her and asked the girl for some water.
«Oh, sure, with all my heart», said this generous little girl; and she took up some water from the
well and gave it to the woman, holding up the jug so that the woman might drink easier.
The woman was really a fairy that pretended to be a poor country woman because she wanted to
see how far the kindness and good manners of this pretty girl would go.
And the fairy said to the girl:
«You are so very pretty, my dear, so kind and so generous that I cannot help giving you a gift».
«I will give you a gift», continued the Fairy, «from now on, at every word you speak, either
a flower or a jewel will come out of your mouth».
When the girl came home her mother scolded her for staying so long at the well.
«I beg your pardon, mothers, said the poor girl, «for not making more hastes.
And in speaking these words there came out of her mouth two roses, two pearls, and two diamonds.
«What is it I see there's said the mother, quite astonished. «! think I see pearls and diamonds
come out of the girl's mouth! How can it be, child?»
This was the first time she had ever called her «child».
The younger daughter told her frankly what had happened to her, not without dropping out
a number of diamonds at every word.
«ln good faith», exclaimed the mother, «I must send my other daughter to the well too. Come
on, darling; look what comes out of your sister's mouth when she speaks. W o n ' t you be glad,
my dear, to have the same gift given to you? The only thing you have to do is to go and take
water out of the well, and when a poor woman asks you to let her drink, you should give it to
her very politely».
«lt would be very nice indeed», said this spoilt, lazy girl, «to be carrying a heavy juq full of
water all the way home!»
«Go to the well and do what I told you to!» the mother said.
So the girl went to the well, complaining all the way, taking with her the best silver cup in the house.
No sooner she was at the well than she saw a rich lady most gloriously dressed, who came up
to her, and asked to drink. This was, you must know, the very fairy, who appeared to her sister,
but now dressed like a princess to see how far this girl's rudeness would go.
«So, I've come here», said the proud girl, «to serve you with water. And I surely took a nice
silver cup just for this purpose; however, you may drink out of it if you want. And then і hope
I can be free, can't I?»
«You are not over and above polite, and as I can see you are not kind either*, answered the
Fairy. «Well, then, since you are so rude, I give you a gift: at every word you speak a snake
or a toad will come out of your mouth».
As soon as her mother saw her coming she cried out:
«Weii, daughter?»
« W e l l , mother?» answered the girl, throwing t w o snakes and t w o toads out of her mouth.
«Oh! mercy», cried the mother; «what is it I see? O h ! It is her sister w h o is guilty of all this;
but she shall pay for it»; and immediately the mother ran to beat her younger daughter. The poor
child ran away from her, and went to hide herself in the forest.
Meanwhile, the King's son met the nice girl on his return from hunting, and saw how pretty and
kind she was, asked her what she did there alone and why she cried. «Alas! Sir, my mother has
turned me out of doors».
The King's son, who saw five or six pearls and as many diamonds come out of her mouth, desired
her to tell him how that happened. She told him the whole story; and so the King's son fell in love
with her, and took her to the palace of his father King, and there married her.
A n d they lived in love long and happily.

TEST 2
j . K. Rowling is the pen-name she uses as a writer. The J is for Joanne, her real first name, but
she prefers to be called Jo. Apparently, people only call her Joanne when they're angry with her.
The K is made up. Her publisher asked her to write using a name with t w o initials, but she didn't
have a middle name.
Jo did a few different things before she struck upon the idea of writing children's books. She
w o r k e d as a researcher and a bilingual secretary for Amnesty International and as an English
teacher in Portugal. Today she devotes much of her time to many charitable projects. She famously
demanded that Coca-Cola donate $18 million to the Reading Fundamental charity if if wanted a tie-
up with the Potter movies.
Maria Montessori lived between 1870 and 1952. She was an Italian educator who has left her mark
on education today. Her Montessori method of education is widely used all round the world. Many-
educationalists say it is the best system for child education. Montessori was also a doctor, philosopher
and philanthropist. She was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize three times for her work.
Sir Timothy Berners-Lee is a British computer scientist w h o invented the W o r l d W i d e W e b . He
received a knighthood from the British monarch for his efforts (so he is called «Sir»). He is director
of W 3 C , which looks after the W e b ' s development. A leading British newspaper ranked him as
the world's greatest living genius. Today's world would be very different without his discovery.
Michael M o o r e is an award-winning American director, author, and political commentator. He has spent
over a decade making controversial movie documentaries about the problems in American society. He
was especially critical of the presidency of George W . Bush. He also criticized globalization and large
corporations, gun ownership and the American health care system.
M o o r e is the director and producer of three of the top five money-making documentaries of all time.
«Fahrenheit 9 / 1 1 » examined the political climate after the 2001 attacks; «Sicko» highlights the His of
American healthcare; and «Bowling for Columbine» explored America's widespread gun culture and its
relation to violence. He usually uses a mixture of hard-hitting fact and humour in all of his work.
William Henry Gates I I I is one of the world's richest people and perhaps the most successful
businessman ever. He co-founded the software giant Microsoft and turned it into the world's
largest software company. He is the best-known entrepreneur of the PC revolution. He has also
written t w o best-selling books and started his o w n charity with his wife.
The best-known nurse of all time must be Florence Nightingale, who became famous for her work during
the Crimean War in the middle of the nineteenth century.
Florence Nightingale was born in 1805 in Kingston, Jamaica. Her mother was Jamaican and her
father was Scottish. Her mother ran a boarding house for invalid soldiers and was also an expert
in herbal remedies, which she used to treat the soldierj. W h e n her mother d i e d , Florence took
over the boarding house and the care of the sick soldiers. In 1850 there was a serious outbreak
of cholera in Jamaica. Florence worked night and day to help the victims and created her own
herbal medicine for the disease. She also believed that clean conditions, fresh air and good food
are important in fighting the disease, ideas which most doctors thought were ridiculous. During the
war, she saved the lives of thousands of people.

TEST 3
When students understand the connection between school and the wider world of future earnings
they do more homework!
In a study by the University of Michigan of 600 middle-school students the researchers found that,
when students were asked to consider what they wanted to do in the future before they were
given homework, they were far more likely to do the homework that night.
The researchers also found that students who saw college education as part of their career path
were up to eight times more likely to do extra homework.
Obviously, middle school students are able to make the connection between school work and
future earnings, and only needed to be reminded of this connection to become more motivated
to learn. With younger students the connection might not be so obvious, but there are other
connections that can be made.
For instance, younger students can be told that if they want to be like one of their action heroes
they need to work hard in school. Most sport's personalities (however not all!) are excellent role
models for young children and often work in schools to encourage children to learn and do well.
But how often do we make sure that children understand the connection between school and life?
Too often teachers and parents concentrate on short-term objectives — the next test, the next
learning benchmark — rather than giving children a bigger picture of why they are in school.
Researchers used to ask children why they had to learn to read. The answers they got were
amazing. Some children said they had to learn to read «because the teacher says so», or because
«my parents want me to». It took some time to tell and show them that teachers were not making
them learn to read for the sake of reading, but so that they could learn more and become clever
enough to get a good job when they left school. The children were quite surprised at this new
way of looking at the reason for learning to read and most of them were more motivated to learn
as a result.

TEST 4
«British food» has become a laughing stock and it's not fair! It doesn't deserve its terrible
reputation.
In the sixteenth century, the banquets of the English kings and queens were known as the most
exciting in Europe. The English were renowned for their roasts, pies, soups and puddings. British
roast beef is still famous. It's often eaten with Yorkshire pudding — a sort of little crusty bun that
soaks up the gravy. Other traditional meals are roast lamb, eaten with mint sauce; roast pork with
apple sauce; lamb with plums or apricots; smoked salmon — light pink fish served just with a slice
of lemon and some pepper; and shepherd's pie — basically minced meat with a layer of mashed
potato on top. British cheeses were — and still are — some of the best in the world: Cheddar,
Wensleydale, Double Gloucester, Stilton and Red Leicester are all delicious. British sweet puddings,
tarts, pies, trifles and cakes were at one time considered supreme. W h o could want more, for
example, than a sherry trifle made with fruit, sponge cake, jelly, custard and cream?
So what's gone wrong? Well, during the Second World War there was a shortage of food so people
got used to poor-quality meat or fish or cheese. As a result, the British diet though still healthy —
became very plain. Later, in 1960s, people went mad for the most exotic food they could find.
However, things are changing. The British are also interested again in their own traditional recipes.
More and more restaurants are opening in Britain which specialise in the country's own cooking.
This is a revolution and it means a great national heritage is being rescued.

1. Stories of Successful People
When Thomas Edison invented the light bulb, he tried over 2000 experiments before he got it
to work. A young reporter asked him how it felt to fail so many times. He said, «I never failed
once. I invented the light bulb. It just happened to be a 2000-step process».
V/ilma Rudolph was the 2 0 of 22 children. When she was 4 years old, she contracted double
,h

pneumonia and scarlet fever, which left her with a paralysed left leg. At the age of 9, she
removed the metal leg brace she had been dependent on and began to walk without it. By
13 she had developed a rhythmic walk, which doctors said was a miracle. That same year she
decided to become a runner. She entered a race and came in last. For the next few years every
race she entered, she came in last. Everyone told her to quit, but she kept on running. One
day she actually won a race. And then another. From then on she won every race she entered.
Eventually this little girl, who was told she would never walk again, went on to win three Olympic
gold medals.
In 1962, four nervous young musicians played their first record audition for the executives of the
Decca Recording Company. The executives were not impressed. While turning down this group of
musicians, one executive said, « W e don't like their sound. Groups of guitars are on the way out».
The group was called The Beatles.
In 1944, Emmeline Sniveiy, director of the Blue Book Modelling Agency, told modelling hopeful
Norma Jean Baker, «You'd better learn secretarial work or else get married*.
She went on and became Marilyn Monroe.
In 1954, Jimmy Denny, manager of the Grand Ole Opry, fired a singer after one performance. He
told him, «You are going nowhere... son. You ought to go back to driving a truck».
He went on to become the most popular singer in America named Elvis Presley.
When Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone in 1876, it did not ring off the hook with
calls from potential backers. After making a demonstration call, President Rutherford Hayes said,
«That's an amazing invention, but who would ever want to use one of them?»
In the 1940s, another young inventor named Chester Carlson took his idea to 20 corporations,
including some of the biggest in the country. They all turned him down. In 1947 — after seven
long years of rejections! — he finally got a tiny company in Rochester, New York, the Haloid
company, to purchase the rights to his invention — an electrostatic paper-copying process.
Haloid became Xerox Corporation we know today.
The moral of the above stories:
Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experiences of trial and suffering
can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired and success achieved. You gain
strength, experience and confidence by every experience where you really stop to look fear in the
face... You must do the thing you cannot do. And remember, the finest steel gets sent through the
hottest furnace.
A winner is not one who never fails, but one who NEVER QUITS!

2. Are W e What W e Eat?

When I was at school, our teacher said to the class, «You are what you eat». M y friends and I
would laugh and call each other «hamburger» and «biscuits». Our teacher was trying to show us
the importance of eating the right food to stay healthy.
So can you tell what your friends eat just by looking at them? W h e n you know the effects of
different types of food, you can use your knowledge well and eat what you want to become.
Food has an impact on our physical and emotional health. Have you ever heard any of the
following advice?
Lettuce or milk can make you sleepy.
To stop feeling sleepy you should eat peanuts or dried fish.
To keep your teeth clean you should eat apples often.
Garlic helps you not to catch a cold.
Everyone has their own advice to give, which they have read about or have been told by older
relatives. Some of these pieces of advice seem to contradict each other.
Eating chocolate makes you fat and gives you spots.
Chocolate contains the essential minerals iron and magnesium.
What we need to figure out is what type of chocolate to eat to get the benefits and how much
of it to eat. W e can do this by reading the list of ingredients on the chocolate bar wrapper.
Exactly how much real chocolate is in there? And how much of that do we need to eat to get
the benefits of the minerals it contains?
Future restaurants might be named after the physical or emotional state they hope to create. Their
menus will list the benefits of each dish and drink. Some restaurants have already started this
concept, and list the nutritional content of their dishes on the menus.

TEST 5
According to the researchers of the American Academy of Pediatrics, social media sites have
created a new phenomenon known as «Facebook depressions. The researchers recently warned
parents about the possible dangers of networking websites on their children's mental health. Report
co-author Gwenn O'Keefe described the way social interaction is changing: «For some teens, social
media is the primary way they interact socially, rather than at home or a friend's houses, she
said. Ms O'Keefe added: «A large part of this generation's social and emotional development is
occurring while on the Internet and on cellphones. Parents need to understand these technologies
so they can relate to their children's online world, and comfortably parent in that worlds.
The report says it is essential for parents to be aware of how social media sites can affect children
and that the Internet is not always a healthy environment for kids. The writers also urged parents
to be on the lookout for cyberbullying, sexting and online predators. They recommended parents
take an active role and discuss things like bullying, privacy and feeling down because of what's
happening on Facebook. A recent poll stated that 22 per cent of teenagers log on to a social
media site more than 10 times a day and more than half at least once a day. However there are
reports which say that Facebook helps youngsters, by allowing them to express themselves, and
doesn't isolate them from society.

TEST 6
Earthquake Causes Nuclear Disaster
Disaster struck on Saturday, March 12, 2011 when about 26 hours after the earthquake, an explosion
in reactor No. 1 at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station caused one of the buildings to crumble
to the ground. The cooling system at the reactor failed shortly after the earthquake. Officials feared
that a meltdown may occur, and radioactive materia! was detected outside the plant. These fears
were realized on Sunday, when officials said they believed that partial meltdowns occurred at reactors
No. 1 and No. 3. More than 200,000 residents were evacuated from areas surrounding both facilities.
Problems were later reported at two other nuclear facilities. By Tuesday, two more explosions and
a fire had officials and workers at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station struggling to regain
control of four reactors. The fire, which happened at reactor No. 4, released radioactivity directly into
the atmosphere. The Japanese government told people living within 20 miles of the Daiichi plant to
stay indoors, not use air conditioning, and keep their windows closed. More than 100,000 people are
in the area. On Wednesday, March 16, while safety workers were still trying to contain the fire at
reactor No. 4, officials announced that reactor No. 3 may have ruptured and appeared to be releasing
radioactive steam. According to Tokyo Electric Power, the plant's operator, 5 workers have died and
22 more have suffered various injuries since the quake.
At a news conference on Sunday, Prime Minister Naoto Kan emphasized the gravity of the situation.
«I think that the earthquake, tsunami, and the situation at our nuclear reactors makes up the worst
crisis in the 65 years since the war. If the nation works together, we will overcomes, he said.
The government called in 100,000 troops to aid in the relief effort.

TEST 7
People have always been interested in art. Artists throughout the years have made a name for
themselves and left lasting legacies that allowed many art lovers today to thank for. And art, in
whatever form it takes, has many stories to tell.
There are many stories that abound about certain famous artists and their works. Such an example
can come from Leonardo da Vinci. Although many may have heard about Leonardo da Vinci's
most famous artwork, the Mona Lisa, only a few may have known that it took the renowned
artist 12 years just to ponder about, paint and perfect Mona Lisa's lips. No wonder people still
fry to solve the mystery of her smile.
During the time when the famous artwork was stolen from the Louvre in 1912, there were known
to be six replicas that were sold as originals, each at a very handsome price. This was done
for a good three years until the original painting was finally recovered. Another thing to mention
about Leonardo da Vinci is that he wrote all his personal notes in reverse, requiring others to use
a mirror in order to read them.
There are also interesting stories that surround other famous artists throughout history. For example,
despite Vincent Van Gogh's fame today, he was only able to sell one and only one painting
during his life.'ime — his Red Vineyard at Aries.
On December 3, 1961 Henri Matisse's painting Le Bateau was finally put the right way up after
found to be hanging upside down for 46 days without anyone noticing at the Museum of Modern
Art in New York, America.
The famous artist Picasso learned how to draw before he could walk. His first word was the
Spanish word for pencil.
In every painting made by the famous Salvador Dali, one would be able to find a self-portrait if
one looked hard enough. One could see, at the very least, the artist's profile in some of them.
And another interesting thought for art lovers out there. A camel hair brush isn't actually made
from real camel hair. The brush can be made of horse, bear, sheep or even squirrel hair, but
surely no camel.

TEST 8
The world of sports is full of courageous stories. This article will bring to you a sportsman who has the
courage to excel and beat against all odds to achieve the unthinkable. In a field where physical strength
is the most important factor, this athlete demonstrated that human will is a more significant thing.
A potato farmer, Cliff Young took part in a Sydney-to-Melbourne ultra-marathon race in 1983.
Coached by his mother who was 81 at the time. Cliff Young started the marathon with work
boots and galoshes overalls.
Competing against world-class marathon runners who were backed up by big sports companies and
had hundreds of hours preparing for the race, Cliff Young's informal training regime consisted in
running for his sheep. He told the organizers that if he could run after his sheep for a few days,
he could surely compete with other runners.
The ultra-marathon normally took 5 days to complete and this potato farmer's decision seemed
suicidal. In fact, some fried t o stop him from running the super-difficult race because they thought
Cliff Young couid die due to the heat and fatigue. After all, he was 61 years o l d !
To cut the story short, Cliff Young managed to finish the race. While the young racers slept, he
continued the race throughout the night. The young athletes left him far behind until the very last
night where he eventually lead the marathon.
Not only Cliff Young, a 61-year-old p o t a t o farmer, survived the race; he even managed to win the
marathon and actually broke the race record by 9 hours! He even gave away his prize money to
the rest of the runners after him.
After the win, he continued to run in many ultra-marathon races and has even set standards in
the world of endurance racing. His running style — d u b b e d «The Cliff Shuffle» is a famous running
technique a d o p t e d by many runners in the world today.
Cliff Young showed that being old is not a barrier. A n d being a champion doesn't mean you
need have super-human strength, just super-human will.
