What Can We Learn from Amish
People?
Many people think of the Amish as
living without modern
communities, mainly
located in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana, go
without cars, TVs,
computers, phones or even
the electricity needed to run so many of 21st
century
what researchers who have studied
them have found is what the Amish have
a
surplus of: good health in late average American
life expectancy is
currently just under 79 in
1900, it was only 47, but for early?20th century
Amish it was already greater than the
decades, most Americans have caught
up in
overall life expectancy, but the Amish still have
a significant edge in
late?life health, with
lower rates of cancer, cardiovascular disease,
diabetes and
how do they do it?
Start
with communities are agrarian, with no modern
farm
equipment, meaning all the work has to be
done by 2004, the American College
of Sports
Medicine fitted Amish volunteers with pedometers
to determine how much
physical activity they
results were men took 18,425
steps a day and
women 14,196 steps, compared with non?Amish people
who are encouraged
by doctors to shoot for at
least 10,000 steps — and typically ing other
forms of manual labour — lifting, chopping,
sowing, planting — the Amish are six
times as
active as a random sample of people from 12
countries.
One result of this is that only 4%
of Amish people are obese, compared with 36.5%
of the overall US children are about
one?third as likely as
non?Amish to be obese,
according to a 2012 study in PLOS means 50% lower
rates of Type 2 diabetes.
The near absence
of tobacco in the Amish community — some men do
smoke cigars
— results in a 63% lower rate of
tobacco?related cancers, according to a 2004 study
of Ohio's Amish Amish also had rates of all
cancers that were 40%
4
lower than
the rest of the Ohio population.
Cardiovascular disease is one area in which
the Amish don't have an edge, with
blood?pressure and heart?disease rates
slightly higher than those of other
of this
might be attributed to the Amish diet, which is
heavy on
pancakes, eggs and sausage for
breakfast; and meat, potatoes, gravy and bread for
g the farm can burn off those calories, but
all the fat and salt and
carbs still have a
bad effect.
The most powerful weapon in the
Amish long?life arsenal, however, may be
Amish population in the US is about 318,000,
descended from just 200
families that
immigrated in the mostly marry within their own
communities,
which means the genes that
existed when their ancestors got to America have
can be a dangerous thing if bad genes are
hidden in the mix but a good
thing if the
genes are no community is without genetic
problems, the
Amish seem to have gotten a
lucky draw.
In a study released last November,
researchers announced the discovery of a gene
in an Amish community that seemed to be
associated with an average lifespan 10% longer
than that of people without the gene.
While much of the Amish advantage is unique to
the Amish themselves, there is
one long?life
lesson they can teach everyone all elderly people
in the
Amish community are cared for at home,
by isn't always realistic or
possible in the
non?Amish world, but when it is, it plays huger
health dividends
than medicine does.

参考范文：
Dear
Andrea，
I'm writing for more information about
the homestay service which I read on the
Internet by accident.
First, as I'm
studying at Victoria Park C．I., I'd like to know
if it is close
6
to your house or
whether it's convenient for me to go to school.
Does it take 35
－45 minutes to go to the
Toronto Centre by bus or is it just within the
walking
distance? As for the money you charge,
does it cover the fees for meals? Besides,
I
plan to have lunch at school, and it would be
great if I could join you for breakfast
and
supper. Furthermore, please tell me whether you
speak English or French because
I want to
improve my English. Finally, could you please tell
me more information
about the accommodation
such as the living environment?
I'm excited
about my stay in Canada. I'm looking forward to
your early reply.
Yours，
Li Hua
