Martial arts
Martial arts are very popular. Hollywood blockbusters featuring fight scenes like The Matrix and Charlie’s Angels have been very successful, and the popularity of martial arts films from Hong Kong, China and Taiwan have turned actors like Let Li and Jackie Chan into international superstars.
Many doctors have realized that practicing martial arts can replace drug therapy for patients suffering from psychological conditions. The more aggressive stylicssuch as kick-boxing appear to help people with such problems as depression, while the softer disciplines like aikido can help people who are anxious or under a lot of stress.
Being a politician is a very stressful job. Theodore Roosevelt was perhaps the first president to be associated with martial arts – lie became fascinated by judo after watching a demonstration by a Japanese teacher at the White House, and was the first American to get a judo brown belt. Vladimir Putin, Russian president and ex- KGB official , also holds an advanced rank in judo. Ryutaro Hashimoto, the prime minister of Japan from 1996 to 1998, has reached a very high level in kendo. In Kendo “the way of the sword”, opponents wear heavy armour and masks, and try to hit each other with bamboo swords.
Originally martial arts were developed as effective ways of attacking or defending yourself against enemies. Soldiers are policemen around the world are trained in fighting arts, but people in other jobs who may often face difficult situations can also benefit from the knowledge of martial arts. Taxi drivers in London have been trained in tae known do, a Korean form of karate, after a survey showing that they were at high risk of attack, and female bus conductors in southern India learn shotokan karate to protect themselves from sexual harassment.
From the graceful, dancelike moves of capoeira to the explosive fighting styles of kung fu and karate, there is a martial art to suit every taste. Rock stars to bus conductors, vicars to politicians – people of all ages and from all walks of life are discovering the physical and mental benefits of practicing a martial art.
__________is a from of karate developed by the Koreans.

FROM THE HISTORY OF A LETTER
People have stopped writing letters. It is going out of date. Just imagine only a hundred years ago we looked forward to an envelope in our postbox. It came to us in many trains, flew through air, over mountains and seas, passed through the hands of many people. It is simple to send and receive e-mails today that people never remember it was a very difficult and special task.
In ancient times “letters” were brought by runners – men who could run fast, far and the “letters” they carried were not written, but were told to the receiver. Postmen in those days had to have a good memory, and they had to be honest. The “letter” often had important secrets. It had to reach only ears of the receiver and without any change in it. People met runners with respect and honour. Nobody stopped them or did anything against them. History has many stories about runners and descriptions of what they did.
Tradition connected with the___________ were different in different countries.
In Mexico, the people knew by the runner’s clothes what message he was carrying to the capital. If he had on a white belt and his long hair was tied with a red ribbon – the battle had been won; if he came from the battle field with untied hair – the battle had been lost.
Runners sometimes had other duties besides carrying letters. Indian runners in Mexico, where the postal service was very fast, were sometimes used to send – fish! Sea fish for a king’s table. The capital was four hundred kilometers from the sea.
