It's the food you eat, it's exercise, it's stress, it's your thoughts, your relationship, your feelings, the toxins, all of it washing over your genes. And the good news is that your genes aren't your destiny. The single biggest factors driving our health and determining our lifespan are our daily behaviors-things like sleep, and stress management, self-care, connecting with others, community, and finding purpose and meaning.

Along the boulevard to the landmark Place de la Républiqu looks shabby, despite a £20m facelift six years ago. The pavements are littered with abandoned electric scooters and bicycles, and punctuated by pet mess and cigarette ends. Several men often open new packets of cigarettes and throw the cellophane and silver paper on the ground.

Read the text for questions 38 to 40. Cleaning up a dirty lake is definitely different from cleaning up a dirty street. Walking on a dirty lake full of garbage can be a very unpleasant and disheartening experience. As you approach the lake, the stench of the garbage becomes overpowering, and the sight of the floating debris can be revolting. As you take your first steps onto the lake, you can feel the squishy and unstable ground underneath your feet, as if you're walking on a spongy surface. You have to be careful where you step, as you don't want to accidentally step on a sharp piece of glass or any other dangerous objects that may be lurking beneath the surface. As you walk further into the lake, you notice that the garbage is not just on the surface, but it's also buried deep within the muddy floor. The water is murky and stagnant, and you can see pieces of plastic bags and bottles floating on the surface, some of them caught in the weeds and reeds along the shore. The wildlife that would normally inhabit the lake seems to have disappeared, and the only living creatures you can see are flies and mosquitoes buzzing around the garbage. The whole experience is a stark reminder of the damage that human activities can inflict on the environment, and it's difficult not to feel a sense of despair and sadness. You can't help but feel relieved to be back on solid ground, after leaving the lake. However, the memory of the dirty lake full of garbage lingers, serving as a powerful reminder of the importance of taking care of our planet and the consequences of neglecting our environment. It will take a while to bring the lake to its former glory. 38. Why do we need to be careful when we step onto the lake?
