Every day, in all kinds of weather, thousands of men and women jog. 1. Most joggers begin because they hear it is a very good exercise. Jogging makes the heart stronger and helps people lose weight. It can also help them feel better about themselves.
Donald Robbins, who is forty-two years old and works in an office, began jogging a few years ago because he felt he was too fat. At first, he could only run about 100 yards. It took him three months to be able to run a mile. 2. Many joggers, like Donald Robbins, feel that if they can succeed in jogging, they can succeed at other things also, and quite often this feeling helps them at their jobs.
Should you jog too? 3. Jogging may be too much exercise for you.
Does jogging cost much? No, it costs almost nothing. But it is very important to have a good pair of shoes that are made especially for jogging. 4.
How fast should you go? Jog with a friend and talk to each other as you run. If you have difficulty in talking, you’re going too fast.
5. Remember not to go too far too soon. In fact, you should walk, not run, the first few times. Then do some short jogs, but no more than what you can do comfortably. After that, increase your distance a quarter or half mile every two weeks or so. Maybe in a few years, you can run in a marathon too. Thousands of people do.
A.How far should you jog?
B.Jogging can aid weight loss.
C.Why has jogging-running become so popular?
D.If you do, be sure to ask your doctor for advice.
E.It is a popular physical activity that can keep you fit.
F.But two years later, he ran in a marathon race over twenty-six miles.
G.They protect your feet and legs from the shock of running on hard surface.
Researchers in Australia have discovered an effective new method to capture the atmospheric carbon dioxide that is damaging our planet and transform it into something solid, making it much easier to store.
Carbon capture isn’t new, but previous methods call for the gas to be compressed (压缩) into liquid and then put into underground. Widespread usage of that technology has been locked by economic and environmental concerns due to possible leaks. Instead, in a study published in Nature Communications, the group details their sustainable and cost-effective plan for transforming CO2 into coal.
This new process involves a liquid metal catalyst ( 催化剂 ) that is efficient in conducting electricity. CO2 gas is dissolved (溶解) in a container with some liquid. Once electricity charge is introduced, the CO2 begins to turn into solid pieces of carbon, which can be collected and stored.
What makes this particularly unique is that the entire process can occur at room temperature. Previous experiments have only shown a gas to solid conversion at extremely high temperature, which made it impossible on a large scale. Now, the researchers are hoping that their work will be used to create even further when it comes to carbon storage.
In an interesting side benefit, the solid carbon also works as an electrode ( 电极 ), which opens up a world of possibilities. “A side benefit of the process is that the carbon can hold electrical charge, becoming a super battery, so it could potentially be used as a part in future vehicles,” explains Dr. Dorna Estrafilzadeh, a researcher. “The process also produces fuel as a by-product, which could also have industrial applications.”
1.Why have the previous methods been limited?
A.Because CO2 is difficult to be compressed into liquid.
B.Because CO2 is not easily collected.
C.Because much space underground has to be taken up to store CO2.
D.Because the liquid of CO2 might leak.
2.What is most special about the new method?
A.The process involves a liquid metal catalyst.
B.CO2 gas can produce electricity during the process.
C.The process happens at normal temperature.
D.CO2 is stored in the form of solid pieces.
3.What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.The method will make a difference in the future industry.
B.CO2 will replace the traditional fuel in the future.
C.The side benefits of the process have been applied widely.
D.The method will be used to make new vehicles.
4.What is the best title for the passage?
A.Carbon dioxide damaging our planet
B.A new carbon capture technology
C.A new Australian discovery
D.How to store carbon dioxide
Art—no matter whether you choose to create it yourself or simply observe and enjoy it—is a relaxing and inspiring activity for many people. However, the particular benefits of artistic expression go much further.
Studies suggest that art therapy (疗法) can be very valuable in treating issues such as depression and anxiety disorder. It is a great way to express your emotions without words, process complex feelings and find relief.
You don’t necessarily have to see a therapist in order to experience some of the benefits of artistic expression. There are many simple activities you can try from the comfort of your home such as art journaling, drawing, making collections, sculpting with clay, etc. It doesn’t matter what media you choose. The only thing that matters is that you feel comfortable using it. Human beings are naturally creative, and all you need to do to complete an art therapy activity successfully is to be with yourself and your emotions. Once you free your creativity, your inner artist will quickly wake up.
However, working with a licensed therapist also has its advantage because a professional can tailor each activity to your own needs. If the activities are done in a group, they are excellent for building healthy connections with other people, which may be very helpful if you are fighting depression.
Experts agree that art therapy has many benefits, from promoting your self-respect, and providing you a safe outlet to relieve your emotions, to giving you a sense of control over your life and helping you to get to know and understand yourself better. During the process of art creation, you will be taking yourself on a journey of self-discovery that will help you get rid of emotional roadblocks, and learn how to communicate with yourself and others.
1.To complete an art therapy successfully, you have to ______.
A.be talented for art B.see a therapist
C.choose a special media D.accept yourself
2.What advantage do the activities done in a group have in art therapy?
A.The activities are tailored to one’s own needs. B.The activities are inspiring.
C.The activities are comforting. D.The activities promote communication.
3.The last paragraph is meant to ______.
A.explain the advantages of art therapy
B.give some advice about promoting your self-respect
C.provide an approach to relieve your emotions
D.summarize the process of art creation
4.What does the passage mainly talk about?
A.How to develop drawing skills.
B.How to wake up art creativity.
C.Art therapy is a great way to treat mental health.
D.Art can be used to learn how to communicate with oneself.
We lived in a very quiet neighborhood. One evening I heard a loud crash in the street. Earlier that evening my wife had asked me to go to the store to get some soft drinks. It seemed that this would be a good time to let my teenage daughter Holly practice her driving, so I sent her to the store in my truck. At dinner my son talked about how much he liked my truck. I enjoyed having it, but I said: “Guy, my heart is not set on that truck. I like it but it is just metal and won’t last forever. Never set your heart on anything that won’t last.” After hearing the loud noise, the whole family ran outside. My son shouted: “Dad! Dad, Holly crashed your truck.”
The accident had occurred in my own driveway. Holly had crashed my truck into our other vehicle, the family van (厢式货车). In her inexperience, she had confused the brakes (刹车) and the gas pedal (油门). Holly was unhurt physically but when we reached her, she was crying and saying: “Oh, Dad, I’m sorry. I know how much you love this truck.” I held her in my arms as she cried.
Later that week a friend stopped by and asked what had happened to my truck. I told her the whole story. Her eyes moistened and she said: “That happened to me when I was a girl. I borrowed my dad’s car and ran into a tree that had fallen across the road. I ruined the car. When I got home, my Dad knocked me to the ground and began to kick me.”
Over 40 years later, she still felt the pain of the night. I remember how sad Holly was on the night she crashed our truck, and how I comforted her. One day, when Holly thinks back on her life, I want her to know that I love her a thousand times more than any piece of property.
1.What can we know about the crash?
