21、Five tips for safe running
We all know that exercise is good for our health. But some kinds of exercise may be better than others. Running, for example, may help to protect against heart disease and other health problems.
Running is good exercise, but it can be hard on the body. 【1】
Take it easy. Do not run too much, too soon or too fast. Most people get running injuries (受伤) when they push themselves too bad. The body needs time to get used to increase in distance or speed. 【2】
Listen to your body. Most running injuries do not come unexpectedly (意外地). 【3】
They may include body aches, sore muscles (肌肉) and pain that does not go away.
【4】 There is no single best shoe for every runner. You should find the shoe that offers the best fit and support for your feet. More importantly, you should replace your shoes every 500 to 800 kilometers.
Take good notes. Take time after each run to write down what you did and how you felt. Look for patterns, things that happen over again. These notes will help you find the best exercise for you.
Cross train. As we said earlier, running is hard on your body. So physical fitness experts suggest some form of cross training to improve muscle balance and to help you stay injury free. They say, besides running, swimming, yoga, and riding a bicycle are good exercises. 【5】
A．Get good running shoes.
B．Here are five ideas to reduce the risk of injury.
C．Muscles and joints (关节) need time to recover.
D．Running may also help you live longer
E．These exercises are easier on the body.
F．Usually, there are warning signs.
G．As advertisements for the running shoe Nike say, “just do it.”
22、This spring Steve Stuttard reunited with an unusual friend: Mrs. Mallard, a duck that nested in the flowerpot on his ninth-story apartment balcony in Manchester, UK, last year. Upon her return, she laid 11 eggs in the same flowerpot filled with grass.
‘‘I know ducks have strange routines when it comes to nesting, and if they have a successful site, they will return to it,” says Stuttard, a bird lover since childhood.
Stottard used skills learned in the Navy to create a jackstay (稳定锁) with a red rope and a bucket. Those skills came in handy last year when he quickly and safely transported Mrs. Mallard’s seven ducklings (小鸭子) down once they hatched.
“Getting the ducklings down isn’t as simple as a ride in the elevator. It’s crucial not to hurt the bond between the ducklings and Mrs. Mallard,” Stuttard says.
However, Stuttard faced more of a challenge this year. He had four additional eggs and high winds. He also had a new global audience heavily invested in the fate of the ducklings.
Emma Newman, Stuttard’s daughter, updates about his preparation for this year’s nesting, which took off on Twitter. “I’ve been absolutely bombarded with messages,’’ Newman says. “I actually can’t keep up because thousands of people are following the story. Whenever I tweet about it, I get several hundred replies a second sometimes.”
On Tuesday morning when two ducklings poked (探出) their heads out of the flowerpot, the wind was awful. Stuttard waited and kept watching. Fortunately, late in the afternoon, Mrs. Mallard finally made her move. This was Stuttard’s clue to get to work.
Stuttard picked Mrs. Mallard up and threw her off the balcony, and she flew off. Immediately, he placed the ducklings in the bucket one by one. Then, he used his jackstay to carefully lower the bucket. “Within two, three minutes from when I walked out on the balcony, Mrs. Mallard was swimming away with her family,” Stuttard says.
【1】Why did Mrs. Mallard choose the same flowerpot?
A．She wanted to be protected by Stuttard.
B．She liked to lay her eggs in high places.
C．She nested there successfully last year.
D．She remembered Stuttard and his family.
【2】What’s important in taking the ducklings downstairs?
A．Staying with them all along.
B．Creating a professional jackstay.
C．Transporting without using the elevator.
D．Keeping their connection with the mother.
【3】What does the underlined word “bombarded” in paragraph 6 probably mean?
A．Coated.
B．Rewarded.
C．Linked.
D．Flooded.
【4】Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Ducklings Succeeding in Going Downstairs
B．Ducklings Overcoming Survival Challenges
C．Man Helping Ducklings Down His Apartment
D．Man Welcoming an Unusual Duck Back Home
23、 Ice volcanoes erupted on the shores of Lake Michigan last weekend, and an employee from National Weather Service ( NWS) caught sight of an astonishing scene on the spot. “You never know what you'll find at the lake until you go out there," the employee said, "Today it were volcanoes. ”
Despite their nickname, ice volcanoes aren't really volcanoes at all. They form at the edges of lakes, where thin sheets of ice form, and water shoots through holes in the ice, Water flows beneath the ice sheet and builds up enough pressure to push water to the surface. If the air above is cold enough, the released water freezes over the surrounding ground, forming a mini volcano of sorts.
Ice volcanoes can be very dangerous to climb on because they are empty inside and built over that hole in the ice. Although some frozen volcanoes were discovered a few years ago, it is still rare to witness one.
Ice volcanoes typically form near large bodies of water where freezing temperatures below allow an ice shelf to form over the water’s surface along the coastline. Meanwhile, waves beneath the shelf must be strong enough to crack the ice and push water out. For this reason, ice volcanoes tend to form along shorelines where winds blow up waves constantly.
For example, when the Oval Beach volcanoes were spotted, the wind was almost due west, which was perfect for pushing waves right into the shoreline at this location. Due to their superior size, the Great Lakes may be more likely to form ice volcanoes along their shores than smaller lakes.
So if you want to see an ice volcano in person, the Great Lakes may be your best choice—but be cautious where you step!
【1】What did the NWS employee discover in Paragraph 1?
A.The eruption of ice volcanoes. B.Volcanoes erupting on the mountain.
C.Frozen shores of Lake Michigan. D.An ordinary scene of Lake Michigan.
【2】What can we learn about ice volcanoes according to the passage?
A.They appear whenever it is freezing. B.They are real volcanoes in the ocean.
C.It is uncommon to see their eruptions. D.It takes years to form an ice volcano.
【3】Where do the ice volcanoes usually form?
A.Shorelines with suitable weather conditions.
B.Smaller lakes where wind direction is perfect.
C.Along shorelines where waves are not powerful.
D.In the center of the ocean or large bodies of water.
【4】What is this passage mainly about?
A.Dangers of ice volcanoes. B.Ice volcanoes and their formation.
C.Different kinds of volcanoes. D.The Great Lakes and ice volcanoes.
