ListeningComprehension Test.
“Healthy Henry”
Henry works in an office in town. He wants to live to be a hundred, so health
is very important to him. He gets up at five o'clock in the morning and does
exercises for 30 minutes. For breakfast, he eats salad and a raw egg with garlic and
chilly pepper. It tastes disgusting but he thinks it's good for him.
Then he runs for an hour in the park even if the weather is bad. He never
goes to work by bus or by train and he thinks that cars are very dangerous.
At the office, he washes his hands 10 times a day. His lunch is 15 sunflower
seeds and one onion. He is sure that the lunch which the firm gives isn't good for
him.
After work, he hurries home to water the plants. He has tens of plants
because they clean the air.
In the evening, he never watches television because it's bad for his eyes. On
Monday, he goes to a yoga class and on Thursday he goes to a vegetarian cookery
class. He rarely goes to the cinema or to the theatre — there are too many germs.
In summer, he sleeps in a tent in the garden. At the weekend, he goes
camping in the country. But he never sits in the sun. On the first day of every
month, he goes to the doctor's just to make sure that he isn't ill. After all, he doesn't
want to find himself in hospital.
