No Time

With a broad smile on her lips, 15-year old Sirin rushed to her mom to show off her new painting. But mom raised her eyebrows with eyes wide open, and spoke in an impatient tone, “No time, baby. Right now I am busy with an important talk. Just wait for some time,OK?”

Holding her oil painting, she frowned (皱眉), and then searched for her dad.

“Dad, see what I have done,” Sirin announced aloud in a thrilling voice. Her dad turned around while adjusting his tie, grinned at her, and showed his thumbs up!

Immediately, blowing her two cheeks, Sirin replied angrily, “Dad, you haven’t seen it yet.”

He smiled at her saying, “No time, baby. I will see it later.” He just patted her back lovingly, kissed her forehead, and rushed for his office.

She was not a kid to be pleased with simple gesture or smile. She stood there for a few seconds,and then stormed off to her own bedroom. Hot air was blowing from her nostrils (鼻孔); her face turned into apple red. She threw the painting on the table, slammed (把……砰地关上) the door and threw herself on her bed.

“Why is everybody so busy?” She recalled thousands of incidents that hurt her in pre-school, middle school and even in high school too! She assumed at least her own family members would give some values to her thoughts, but they were no exception. Unconsciously, her eyes were filled with tears.

The knocking sound on the door put a sudden brake to her thought. Her mom was calling her for dinner. Sirin deliberately came late to join them. She kept silent and didn’t look at anyone, scratching the table mat with her nail. Her mom was puzzled at the unusual behavior. Suddenly, the morning incident clicked in her mind. Softly, she asked, “Honey, did I do anything wrong?”

Para 1: At this very moment, Sirin could no longer resist her anger.__________________

    When it comes to exercise, do you swear by working up a sweat with a good run, or do you prefer to take a walk? It turns out both runners and walkers get health benefits compared with couch potatoes. But is one really better than the other for fitness?1.

It’s always good to get any kind of exercise and it’s important that you choose exercise that you can do regularly.2.For instance, running for half an hour burns about twice the calories as a half-hour of walking. But if the walker covers the same distance, just over a longer period of time, he/she will burn the same calories.

What about other health benefits? Running and walking are both excellent for heart health. When you run, your heart works harder than when you walk.3.If runners and walkers burn the same number of calories every day, both groups have a lower risk of heart disease than inactive people.

4. For instance, running or walking at least 30 minutes a day may help lessen mild bone loss. And contrary to what you may think, runners don’t suffer from arthritis (关节炎) more than non-runners. In fact, their risk for arthritis is about 15% lower than for those who don’t exercise at all.

You don’t have to feel torn between running and walking.5.

A.Most people will say “yes” to this question.

B.Both types of exercise are also good for bone health.

C.It doesn’t matter if you run or walk as long as you keep moving.

D.Let’s first take a look at the health benefits of running and walking.

E.But that doesn’t actually mean that runners have better heart health than walkers.

F.One large study found runners might have a lower chance of getting heart disease.

G.The main difference between walking and running is that running burns calories faster.
