Last Saturday, I was on a train during my journey to home. I had reserved a seat, that made me quite relaxing. However, in front of my seat there was a couple travelled with two little kids. Since they had only one seat, there was no space with the man. The weather was also cold.

There was big smile on his face.

How to Increase Your Distance in Long-Distance Running
Running long distances is a great way to get in shape, reduce stress, and feel great. As a result, many people come to love this form of exercise. 1. Here are some suggestions that might be of great help.
Commit to a training plan. To help you run longer, choose a training plan that works for you. It will help you increase your mileage (里程) gradually so you’ll be able to avoid injuries and build your endurance. 2. Then you’ll be able to mentally and physically prepare.
3. To help you mentally get through your runs and increase your distance, try thinking of your run as having multiple sections. Once you finish with a section, you will be motivated to keep going through the next one. If you have an exercise tracking device, you can break up your run by keeping track of your distance on your phone, watch, or other devices.
Increase your mileage gradually. To avoid getting tired or injured, add mileage to your runs gradually. It is suggested that you increase your mileage by only about 10% each week. 4. While it is great to push yourself, you need to give your body time to adjust.
Take breaks when you need them. While your goal may be to complete your long distance run without stopping, it is more important that you listen to your body and take breaks. You can choose to walk, drink water, or eat a quick snake when necessary. 5.
A.Break up your run into sections.
B.They will allow you to recover and run for even longer.
C.Before running, however, remember to prevent injuries.
D.It also lets you know what distance you have coming up.
E.Keep track of your distance on an exercise tracking device.
F.However, it can be hard for both experienced and new runners.
G.The majority of running injuries occur because of over-training.
For the past 3000 years, when people thought of money, they thought of cash. From buying food to paying bills, day-to-day dealings involved paper or metal money. Over the past decade, however, digital payments have taken off—tapping your credit card on a machine or having the QR Code (二维码) on your smart phone scanned has become normal. Now this revolution is about to turn cash into an endangered species in some rich countries. That will make the economy more efficient, but it also brings new problems.
Countries are getting rid of cash at different speeds. In Sweden the number of retail cash transactions (交易) per person has fallen by 80% in the past ten years. Cash accounts for just 6% of purchases by value in Norway. Britain is probably four or six years behind it. America is perhaps a decade behind. Outside the rich world, cash is still king. However, in China, digital payments rose from 4% of all payments in 2012 to 34% in 2017.
Cash is dying out because of two forces. One is demand—younger consumers want to enjoy their digital lives with payment systems. But equally important, suppliers such as banks and tech firms are developing fast, easy-to-use payment technologies from which they can pull data and pocket fees.
In general, the future of a cashless economy is excellent news. When cash payments disappear, people and shops are less likely to be stolen. Besides, digitalisation greatly expands the playground of small businesses by enabling them to sell beyond their borders. It also creates a credit history, helping consumers borrow. Yet it is not without problems. Electronic payment systems may suffer technical failures, power blackouts and cyber-attacks. What’s more, in a cashless economy the poor, the elderly and country folk may be left behind.

A.America. B.Britain. C.Sweden D.Norway.
3.Which of the following would the author most probably agree with?

C.Customers can have their credit history built through digital payments.
D.Digital payments may benefit the poor, the elderly and country folks.
