The secrets of long life
The island of Okinawa in Japan has some of the oldest people in the world. ItЎЇs famous for its high number of centenarians – men and women who live beyond 100 years of age. There have been many scientific studies of their lifestyle and you can even buy cookery books based on their diets. Some of the reasons for their good health are that they Ў
• go fishing and eat what they catch.
• regularly do gardening and grow their own fruit and vegetables.
• go cycling and never drive when they can walk.
• often spend time with friends. They meet at peopleЎЇs houses and play games.
• rarely buy food from a supermarket.
• do regular exercise, go swimming and lead active lives.

Measuring health and happiness
The small country of Bhutan in the Himalayan mountains is over one thousand years old. In the past it was a poor country and not many people visited it. But nowadays, it is becoming more and more popular with tourists. Medicine and health is improving and its economy is growing. King Jigme Singye Wangchuck, the king of Bhutan until 2006, talked about his countryЎЇs Ў®Gross National HappinessЎЇ. In other words, he thought happiness is the way to measure the countryЎЇs development.
But how do you measure happiness? Perhaps health is the best way because a famous doctor once said, Ў®Happy people generally donЎЇt get sick.ЎЇ ItЎЇs also easy to measure how many people feel ill or unhealthy in a country. For example, one survey says Iceland is the Ў®healthiest country in the worldЎЇ because men and women live a long time there, the air is very clean and there are more doctors available per person than anywhere else in the world.
However, there was another survey of the happiest countries in the world and Iceland was not near the top. The questions on this survey included: How much do you earn? How healthy are you? How safe do you feel? After visiting 155 different countries, the researchers decided that Denmark feels happier than other countries.

So does happiness equal money and good health? Not according to the artist Erik Krikortz. He feels that there are other ways of measuring happiness. Krikortz has a website and visitors click on different happy or sad faces to comment on how well they sleep, their family and friends, their level of stress, their inspiration and their physical activity. When you finish, his website adds the results for each area and it gives you a final result for your happiness.
In his home city of Stockholm, Krikortz also shows the results of his survey as different coloured lights on the side of a large building in the city. For example, red means the people of Stockholm are very happy, green is OK and purple means many people are sad. Ў®A lot of people look at the building every day and see how Ў°weЎ± are,ЎЇ Krikortz says. The coloured lights are also useful if you feel like visiting the city. For example, if the lights are red, you know the locals are feeling happy!

3. Crazy competitions!
Ross McDermott and Andrew Owen travel round the United States going to different festivals and write about their experiences on the blog The American Festivals Project. Many of these festivals are also competitions.
A The Idiotarod
The Idiotarod is an annual race in New York City. Each team must have five people and a shopping cart. They can decorate their carts but they canЎЇt change the wheels. All the teams have to start and finish at the same place but they donЎЇt have to run on the same roads. The teams can choose their route but the members of each team must arrive at the finish line together. And they mustnЎЇt finish without the cart!
B Mud Bowl Championship
Mud Bowl football is similar to normal American football. The match is shorter but there are two teams and a referee. The winner is the team with the most goals at the end of sixty minutes. The only real difference is that the players have to play in half a metre of mud!
C Combine Harvester Fight
Combine harvesters are normally on farms but, for one day every summer, in the small town of Hillsdale in Michigan, farmers compete against each other for a prize of $1,500. For three hours, the giant machines have to fight until only one combine harvester is still moving.

In El Alto in Bolivia, an audience is sitting around a huge wrestling ring. The spectators are getting impatient and so they start to scream: Ў®Bring them on! Bring them on!ЎЇ Suddenly, an announcer speaks into the microphone: Ў®Ladies and Gentlemen. ItЎЇs time for Yolanda and Claudina!ЎЇ The crowd shouts and applauds with excitement.
Two women enter. Yolanda and Claudina walk through the crowd like pop stars. They smile and greet their fans until suddenly the music stops. Both women jump into the wrestling ring and within seconds, Claudina hits Yolanda. Yolanda grabs Claudina. Claudina tries to escape, but Yolanda doesnЎЇt let her go. She spins Claudina round and throws her down on the floor. The audience goes crazy!
As Claudina lies on the floor, Yolanda is smiling and waving to the crowd. She doesnЎЇt see Claudina get up behind her. Then Claudina pushes Yolanda onto the ropes. The crowd shouts at her. Claudina is the baddie in this competition so when Yolanda – the goodie – gets up and throws Claudina out of the ring, the crowd cheers with happiness. One minute Yolanda is winning. The next minute, Claudina is winning.
Wrestling in Bolivia is incredibly popular and after a hard dayЎЇs work many people love watching this mixture of sport, drama and entertainment. Usually, the wrestling matches are between men wearing masks and special costumes. But in El Alto you can also see women wrestling where itЎЇs especially popular.
Yolanda is one of the top women wrestlers. Her father was also a wrestler so itЎЇs a family tradition. During the day she makes clothes. She also has two daughters who both look like her. Would they like to become wrestlers one day? Yolanda doesnЎЇt think so. Ў®My daughters ask me why I do this. ItЎЇs dangerous and they complain that wrestling doesnЎЇt bring any money into the house.ЎЇ But Yolanda loves wrestling because of her fans, and she has lots of them!
One fan called Esperanza Cancina pays $1.50 (a large part of her salary) to sit near the ring. She explains why she likes watching the wrestling: Ў®ItЎЇs a distraction. The women wrestlers fight here and we laugh and forget our problems for three or four hours. At home , we ЎЇ re sad .ЎЇ

Transport in the future
Meet the Watts. They are a three-car family in the near future which uses electric vehicles.
Bob is similar to most commuters. He charges his car at home overnight so itЎЇs ready for the morning rush hour. If he needs more electricity, thereЎЇs a Ў®charging stationЎЇ in the office car park.
SoniaЎЇs car travels about 30 kilometres on a full battery so itЎЇs good for short trips such as going to the shops or visiting friends nearby. The car also has its own computer which tells her if there are traffic jams or road works on the road ahead.
Justin works from home but enjoys going on a long journey in his sports car at the weekend. Instead of going to a petrol station for petrol, he can change his battery on the motorway or plug into a high-voltage charger. Another device in the carЎЇs engine stops him from going over the speed limit.
Their neighbours still use a car with a petrol engine but most cars have electric engines. The roads are quieter and there is less pollution so life is also better for pedestrians and cyclists!

The best way to travel
In the most northern state of the USA youЎЇll see every type of modern transport. But during the winter months the state of Alaska becomes one of the coldest parts of the world. Temperatures fall as low as –50˚C. Car engines can freeze and even if your car starts, the snow and ice on the road can make travel impossible. When the weather is like this, the best way to travel is with a team of huskies pulling you. ThatЎЇs according to people like Geoff Roland who prefer travelling by dog sledge. Ў®Huskies might not be as fast as a modern snowmobile but they are better for the environment. The journey is also much quieter than by snowmobile. ItЎЇs what makes travel through the wilderness so enjoyable.ЎЇ
When Geoff was younger he took part in the Iditarod. The word Iditarod originally comes from an old native American word meaning Ў®a faraway placeЎЇ but nowadays itЎЇs the name of the worldЎЇs longest dog sledge race which takes place in Alaska each spring. The 1,600 kilometre route follows the old roads which the original Indians once used. As years passed, aeroplanes and snowmobiles became more common and people started to forget about the old trails. But in 1973 a group of people started the race in order to maintain AlaskaЎЇs history and its traditional form of transport. Some people criticise the Iditarod because they think itЎЇs cruel for the dogs but Geoff disagrees: Ў®Huskies are natural racers. I think theyЎЇre much happier when theyЎЇre in front of the sledge.ЎЇ
