 I read "Secrets to A Long Life."

 Often on TV or in magazines we see the rich and famous: successful film stars, singers, and sports people. They live in beautiful homes. They drive expensive cars. They even have their own planes. Sometimes we may think, "Wouldn't it be great to be like them!" But how we know the rich and famous are happy?

Having a lot of money does not always lead to happiness. This book shows what to do to be happy and live longer. In chapter 2, it mentions the importance of having good relationship with other people to be live longer. For example, according to Brigham Young University's study, people who have good friends had 50 percent more chance of living longer. I thought being happy and not being lonely lead to longer life. In chapter 4, it describes the relation between death and environment. Surprisingly, people in cities live longer and healthier lives. Furthermore, people can drive faster in the countryside, so there are more deaths from traffic accidents in the countryside than in cities. In this way, I could learn the way to live long. I thought if I feel happier and less stressful, I can live well.

 A poison can be thought of as any chemical substance that causes a harmful change in the body. Medically, it is hard to define a poison, because any cause illness, harm bodily functions, or cause death.

I read "Poison".  I could learn the types, mature, story, and history about poison. It was particularly impressive that poison was used first more that 4500 years ago, and it was used as poisoned spears and arrows for war. Moreover, the various toxic animal was introduced. For example, most poisonous frogs produce their venom from their skin. Some types of their venom contain enough poison to kill ten adult people. This face is so scared that human may be killed even such small animals. In conclusion, I could know the danger of poison again, and I wanted to know more about other poisonous creatures from now on.

  Did you know that you have a 1 in 10,000 chance of getting hit by lightning? Or that you have a 1 in 175,711,536 chance of winning the Mega Millions lottery? You have a much better chance of being born with eleven fingers or eleven toes − that's 1 in 500.

 I read "What are the odds?"

This book is about "the odds". The chance or probability is called "the odds". For example, the probability that the sun will rise in the east tomorrow morning is 100%. However, the other things such as the chance that you will get a hole in one when you play golf, and you will die due to lightning. In this way, this book describes the possibilities of such various events or happenings. What I found particularly interesting was the story about the chance that nature can hurt you. According to this, men are much more likely to get damaged by lightning than women because men tend to keep doing outside although women are likely to go inside when they see lightning. It is interesting for me to know the difference of thoughts between men and women. In conclusion, if you read this book, you may be able to know the new information. I would like you to read this.
