TEXT I
“There are a trillion reasons why taking time to chill out might be the last item on your to-do list. But, here's why it should be a priority: "Being stressed will increase your susceptibility to catching a cold," says Ali. That may be because, over the long term, it leads to the ongoing release of stress hormones, such as glucocorticoids. These impede your body's ability to produce cell-signaling molecules called cytokines, which trigger a disease-fighting response from your immune system. "You're also less likely to take care of yourself — get ample sleep, eat right, exercise — when you're stressed," says Ali, which is crucial to upping your immunity.
Cold and flu can spread all too easily through touch. Keep your fingers away from your eyes, nose, and mouth as much as possible, and make sure to master the art of hand-washing. Soap and water remain your most effective tools there, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Germs can grow on bar soaps, so use the pumped kind — or better yet, a hands-free dispenser and choose regular soap over antibacterial. Lather for a solid 20 seconds before rinsing, and make sure to dry thoroughly (but not on your germy clothes!): "Damp hands are far more likely to spread bacteria than dry ones," says Dana Simpler, MD, a primary care physician at Mercy Medical Center in Baltimore.” (Adapted from: http://www.health.com/health/gallery)The conjunction “but” (2nd line) may be replaced, without causing grammatical loss, by:

Thunder - Imagine Dragons
Just a young gun with a quick fuse
I was uptight, wanna let loose
I was dreaming of bigger things
And wanna leave my own life behind
[5] Not a yes-sir, not a follower
Fit the box, fit the mold
Have a seat in the foyer, take a number
I was lightning before the thunder
Chorus
Thunder, feel the thunder
[10] Lightning and the thunder
Thunder, feel the thunder
Lightning and the thunder
Thunder, thunder
Thunder
[15] Kids were laughing in my classes
While I was scheming for the masses
Who do you think you are?
Dreaming 'bout being a big star
You say you're basic, you say you're easy
[20] You're always riding in the back seat
Now I'm smiling from the stage
While you were clapping in the nose bleeds
(Repeat chorus)

People can successfully lose weight using a variety
of methods. About 45% of people in the National Weight
Control Registry say they lost weight following various
diets on their own, and 55% say they used a structured
[5] weight-loss program. Most of the men and women say
they had to try more than one diet before they were
able to keep the weight off long term. There’s currently
a push for weight loss plans to allow flexibility for people
to find what type of lifestyle suits them. Dr. Yoni
[10] Freedhoff, an obesity expert, starts men and women at
his clinic on the same plan, but lets everyone diverge
from it. “We have a plan that involves getting enough
calories and protein and so forth, but we are not married
to it,” he said. “Everyone here is doing things slightly
[15] differently.
