Uni(海胆籽)can be found in Japanese restaurants. But what do you think about uni? It's not everyone's favourite food. Let's find out more about it.
What is it?
Uni is the Japanese word for sea urchin (海胆).Sea urchins are easy to recognize. They have long, thin spines (刺) which are dangerous. 1. Sea urchins can grow up to 10 centimetres round and can live for 200 years!
Where can you find them?
Sea urchins live in seas in the world. 2. They can be found on rocky bottoms. There are over 200 different kinds of sea urchin. The inside of only 18 of them are eatable.
So what's inside a sea urchin?
Uni of course! 3. They are not. Uni are the sea urchin's reproductive organs (器官)! The best uni is said to come from Hokkaido in Japan. Uni from California has a very clean flavour (味道).
Describe uni to me.
A piece of uni is usually 1-3 centimetres long. When it has been cleaned, it looks a bit like a small tongue. It tastes like ice cream. The flavour is very rich. 4.
If it is so rich, is it good for you?
5. Uni is rich in vitamins A, C and E. It is also full of protein (蛋白质). Uni has fewer calories than many other foods on the menu.
A. You should never step on one!
B. They prefer to be in warm water.
C. However, today it's used in other dishes.
D. Unlike most rich food, uni is good for you!
E. We are more interested in what's inside them!

If you think that running marathons will help you live a long and healthy life, new research may come as a shock. According to a recent scientific study, people who do a very strenuous workout are as likely to die as people who do no exercise at all.
Scientists in Denmark have been studying over 1,000 joggers (幔跑者)and non - joggers for 12 years. The death rates from the sample group indicate that people who jog at a proper pace two or three times a week for less than two and a half hours in total are least likely to die. The best speed to jog at was found to be about 5 miles per hour. The research suggests that people who jog more than three times a week or at higher speeds of over 7 mph die at the same rate as non - joggers. The scientists think that this is because strenuous exercise causes structural changes to the heart and arteries(动脉). Over time, this can cause serious injuries.
Peter Schnohr, a researcher in Copenhagen, said, “If your goal is to decrease risk of death and improve life expectancy(寿命)，jogging a few times a week at a proper pace is a good strategy. Anything more is not just unnecessary, and it may be harmful. “
The implications (暗示 ) of this are that moderate forms of exercise such as tai chi, yoga and walking may be better for us than “iron man events, triathlons and long - distance running and cycling. According to Jacob Louis Marott, another researcher involved in the study, “You don't actually have to do that much to have a good impact on your health. And perhaps you shouldn’t actually do too much”.

A.regular B.hard C.practical D.flexible
2.The author presents some figures in Paragraph 2 to_______ .
A.suggest giving up jogging B.show risks of doing sports
C.provide supportive evidence D.introduce the research process
3.According to the scientists, why is too much exercise harmful?
A.It may injure the heart and arteries. B.It can make the body tired out.
C.It will bring much pressure. D.It consumes too much energy.
4.What can be inferred from the text?
A.No exercise at all is the best choice. B.More exercise means a healthier life.
C.Marathons runners are least likely to die. D.Proper exercise contributes to good health.
Riding on the road? Time to review all that you learned in elementary school —especially if you'll be riding in traffic.
Always ride on the right side of the street in the same direction as the traffic. Never ride against traffic. Try to use bike lanes (车道)whenever you can.
Always stop and check for traffic in both directions when leaving your driveway. Some people in cars just don't see cyclists.
Watch traffic closely for turning cars or cars pulling out of driveways.
Don' t ride too closely to parked cars — doors can open suddenly!
Stop at all stop signs and stop at red lights just as cars do. Take special care at crossroads. It's d good idea to walk your bike across busy crossroads using the crosswalk.
Don't wear headphones while biking—you need to hear what's going on around you.
Never change directions or change lanes without first looking behind you and using the correct hand signals. That way everyone knows where you' re going. You can use your left arm for all hand signals. To show you' re making a left turn, hold your arm straight out to the left. To show a right turn, bend your elbow(肘部)，holding your arm up in an “L” shape. And before you stop, bend your elbow, pointing your arm downward in an upside down “L” shape. Of course, you can also hold your right arm straight out to the right to show you are going to turn right.
Biking is a fun way to get exercise and a great way to get around, but bike injuries are common. So follow these tips to really enjoy your ride.
