of the questions from 1 to 10.
 Elves
 Elves have been a popular subject in fiction for centuries, ranging from W. Shakespeare's play "A
Midsummer Night's Dream" to the classic fantasy novels of J. R. R. Tolkien 300 years later. But it's only
recently that elves have been confined to plays, books, and fairy tales. In centuries past, belief in the
existence of fairies and elves was common among both adults and children.
 Like fairies, elves were said to be magical, tiny shape changers. Shakespeare's elves were tiny,
winged creatures that lived in, and playfully flitted around flowers. English male elves were described as
looking like little old men, though elf maidens were invariably young and beautiful. Like men of the time,
elves lived in kingdoms found in forests, meadows, or hollowed-out tree trunks. [A]
 Elves, fairies and leprechauns are closely related in folklore, though elves specifically seem to have
sprung from early Norse mythology. By the 1500s, people began incorporating elf folklore into stories and
legends about fairies, and by 1800, fairies and elves were widely considered to be simply different names for
 the same magical creatures. [B]

 Life Expectancy
0 Life expectancy can be defined as the number of years someone is expected to live and has been the subject
 of many studies. The most recent studies into changes in life expectancy in many countries of the world
 show that it has been increasing for many years. In fact, life expectancy is higher today than it has ever been
 in the past. This is a very positive development for those who are interested in diet, health and lifestyle. It
 would appear that, when judged by changes in life expectancy, health in our modern society is improving all
 the time and is not, as is often suggested, getting worse.
1 In adults, the main change is a decline in circulatory disease, especially heart disease. Heart disease is the
 principal cause of death in the world. The mortality rate from this type of disease has decreased dramatically
 over the last 15 years in many countries, and it is likely that this trend will continue. The second principal
 cause of death is cancer. However, mortality over the last 15 years from cancer has either stabilised in
