Besides the dangers at sea, it was also boring to stay inside a boat all day. Zac read about 70 books! He also wrote to his family online to tell them about his experiences around the world.

You may know the saying: An apple a day keeps the doctor away. A recent study by the Chinese University of Hong Kong has discovered another saying: An apple a day keeps old age away.
The study involved fruit flies, as they share many genes （基因） with humans. Researchers gave food to two groups of fruit flies. Both groups got the same fruit, with one exception: the second group also got apples, while the first did not.
The results showed that flies that ate apple lived an average of 55 days longer than the flies that didn't eat apple. The study also found that apple-eating flies were more able to walk, climb and move about as they became old, the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry reports.
The researchers believe that the antioxidants （抗氧化剂） found in apples are good for health.
In another experiment, researchers studied the diets of thousands of women. They found that those women who often ate apples were 20 percent less likely to have a heart attack.
Scientists have recently discovered the apple’s genetic code（基因序列）.This allows scientists to make new kinds of fruit that are healthier. Researchers are already using this information to grow apples with added antioxidants. Antioxidants help to keep eyes and joints （关节） healthy and protect against heart attacks and cancer.

In the early mornings and evenings, they get together to practice traditional forms of exercise such as Taiji as well as dancing and singing folk songs or Beijing Opera. Hutong have become a museum of Beijing's folk customs and history.
