True relaxation is most certainly not a matter of flopping down in front of the television with a welcome drink. Nor is it about drifting (1) into an exhausted sleep. Useful though these responses to tension and over-tiredness (2) can be, we should distinguish between them and conscious relaxation in (3) terms of quality and effect. (4) regardless of the level of tiredness, real relaxation is a state of alert yet at the same time passive awareness, in which our bodies are (5) at rest while our minds are awake.
Moreover, it is as natural for a healthy person to be relaxed when moving as resting. (6) Being relaxed in action means we bring the appropriate energy to everything we do, so as to have a feeling of healthy tiredness by the end of the day, (7) rather than one of exhaustion. Unfortunately, as a result of living in today’s competitive world, we are under constant strain and have difficulty in coping, (8) let alone nurturing our body’s abilities. What needs to be rediscovered is conscious relaxation. With (9) that in mind we must apply ourselves to understanding stress and the nature of its causes (10) how deep-seated.

It is believed that our inherited (1) genetic characteristics play the decisive (2) role in our being beautiful, attractive and appealing to other individuals. Although there is no clear (3) theory on what beauty really is and how it works, the results of a recent scientific research (4) seem to confirm (5) the hypothesis that our facial features are determined (6) by our brains. Their possible role is to reflect (7) health and fertility as well as genetic superiority - the quality that people, supposedly (8), share with animals which, like humans, have their own sexual preferences. Most species of birds, for example, rely on the brightest colours of plumage when selecting (9) theirpartners (10). To them, the vivid shades (11) of the feathers indicate the potential partner's genetic fitness to produce healthy children (12).
In humans, similarly, beauty shows (13) our well-being and our sexual attractiveness, but as far as our facial characteristics are taken into account, peopletend (14) to regard as extremely charming (15) the faces with the highest degree of symmetry. And equally effectively, the facial properties may also indicate the appeal of the whole body.
