Why do you run? Different people have different reasons. Whatever your reason is, there’s one thing we can be sure of: Running is much better injury-free. In his book, Dr. Jordan Metzl’s Running Strong, Metzl has the perfect suggestions for enjoying your running without losing your well-being (健康). Here are five must-follow rules for injury-free running: Train for your level of fitness and your goals. Don’t run more miles than your body can deal with. If you run for fitness and your goal is about 30 minutes a day, that’s cool. But if you are just starting out, 1. Wear the right shoes for your feet. You will hear lots of opinions about whether running shoes really help prevent injury and whether you should even wear them. 2. And some of you may need a little added assistance from inserts (鞋垫). 3. Be honest about how much sleep you need and stick to it. The cool runner is the one who wins the race. Sleep will get you there. Fuel (提供能量) your body right for running and recovery. 4. And after a workout or race, you need to deliver nutrients to all the body rebuilders in your muscles, so they can do their job and get you back into tip-top shape for your run tomorrow. Pay attention to pain. When pain changes the way you run, stop running. 5. And use dynamic rest (动态休息) to stay in shape until you are back on your running feet. A. Get seven to eight hours of sleep every night. B. Try to find out what is going on and treat the pain. C. you need to get there slowly. D. Running should be seen as fun rather than pain. E. It is because of the health benefits, including lowering your risk of disease. F. The right running shoes can help correct foot-movement problems that lead to injury. G. A good pre-run meal plan is one that keeps you stepping strong.
If you want to become a better reader, what should you know about the speed of reading? Some people read very quickly, while others read very slowly. But which one is better?
The quick reader may be a good reader when he reads a storybook for fun. But he may not be able to slow down enough to read directions (说明书) carefully. He may read so quickly that he does not take time to understand fully the ideas and information which are important to remember. The slow reader may be a good reader when he reads directions for making something. But he may spend too much time in reading a simple story which is meant to be enjoyed but is not important enough to be remembered. So, you see, either a quick reader or a slow reader is not really a good one. If you wish to become a better reader, here are four important things to remember about the speed of reading. First, knowing why you are reading will often help you to know whether to read quickly or slowly. Second, some things should be read slowly throughout. Examples are directions for making or doing, something, science and history books, and math problems. You must read such things slowly or remember each important step and understand each important idea. Third, some things should be read quickly throughout. Examples are simple stories for enjoyment, letters from friends and bits of news from hometown papers. Finally, in some of your reading, you must change your speed from fast to slow and slow to fast, as you go along. You will need to read certain pages quickly and then slow down and do more careful reading when you come to important ideas. 1.What should be read quickly according to the passage? A.Science and history books. B.Math problems. C.Storybooks, newspapers, personal letters, etc. D.Directions for making something. 2.What is the important thing you should keep in mind about speed of reading? A.To read as fast as you can. B.To keep your reading at a certain speed. C.To read as slowly as possible. D.To fit your reading speed to your needs. 3.This passage is most probably from a ________. A.textbook B.story-book C.dictionary D.novel 4.Which title best gives the main idea of the passage? A.What Books to Choose? B.How to Be a Rapid Reader? C.Why Reading is Important? D.How to Read?
Give your dead batteries (电池) a new life. Recycle them! Batteries are used to power clocks, computers, tools and more. However, your batteries have some serious power when their lives are over. WHY TO RECYCLE BATTERIES: Remember, batteries are harmful waste. This means we should properly throw them away. You may not think one little battery can cause that much pollution. But don’t think of it as just one battery—there can be millions. In Canada, each person uses about 20 single-use batteries every year. That’s about 700 million batteries! If all these batteries end up in landfills (垃圾填埋场), the heavy metals inside them can get into the water, land and air. It can be harmful to humans and wildlife. By recycling single-use batteries instead of throwing them away, you can cut down pollution and also help save energy. All batteries are mainly made of plastic and valuable metals. Through recycling programs, dead batteries can be changed into something useful like steel products, or even new batteries. HOW TO RECYCLE BETTARIES: Make a difference by starting to collect batteries at your home or school today. You can prepare a box for battery collection and invite friends, family and classmates to bring in old batteries to be recycled. There are many ways to deal with your batteries. You can: ● Find a Call to Recycle public collection station near you. ● Ask the store where you bought the batteries if you can return them there. ● Communicate with your local city government to find out if there are special programs for recycling used batteries! For more information, visit https://ecokids.ca/batteries. 1.“Serious power” in the first paragraph shows that ________. A.batteries are very useful in our life B.dead batteries are still valuable C.dead batteries can bring bad effects to our life D.dead batteries can still provide power 2.The pollution caused by dead batteries mainly comes from ________. A.water B.land C.steel products D.heavy metals 3.If you want to recycle your batteries correctly, you can ________ in your city. A.build a public landfill B.learn more about batteries recycling C.sell old batteries to some stores D.no more buy batteries from stores 4.The passage is probably written for ________. A.young children B.landfill workers C.battery sellers D.community groups
Many years ago, my dad decided to volunteer at the local children hospital. My dad loved kids. It was the perfect job for him. He would talk to them and play with them and do arts and crafts with them. There was a girl, Karen, who had been admitted with a rare disease that paralyzed (使麻痹) her from the neck down. She was very depressed (沮丧的). My dad decided to try to help her. He started visiting her in her room, bringing paints, brushes and paper. He stood the paper up against a backing, put the paintbrush in his mouth and began to paint. He didn’t use his hands at all. Only his head would move. He would visit her whenever he could and paint for her, telling her, “See, you can do anything you set your mind to.” At the end of the day, she began to paint using her mouth, and she and my dad became friends. Soon after, the little girl was discharged (允许出院) because the doctors felt there was nothing else they could do for her. Some time later, my dad was at the volunteer counter in the lobby (门厅) of the hospital when Karen came in. She ran straight over to my dad and hugged him really tight. She gave my dad a picture she had done using her hands. At the bottom it read “Thank you for helping me walk”. My dad would cry every time he told us this story. He would say sometimes love is more powerful than doctors, and my dad who died just a few months after the little girl gave him the picture—loved every single child in that hospital. 1.The writer’s father decided to volunteer ________. A.at the children bookstore B.in the shopping mall C.at the local children hospital D.in the community 2.How did the writer’s father help the paralyzed little girl? A.He showed her she could still do things. B.He painted special pictures for her. C.He helped her practice walking. D.He visited her and made a toy for her. 3.Why did the little girl give the writer’s father a picture? A.Because he liked pictures very much. B.Because she wanted to thank him for his help. C.Because he was badly ill. D.Because her mother wanted her to do that. 4.What can we infer from the passage? A.The girl was discharged after she had recovered from her disease. B.The girl became a famous painter at the end. C.The girl who paralyzed from the neck down could do nothing. D.Love has a magic power and can make wonders.

阅读下面短义,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。 How to keep healthy Ten years ago I used to be very healthy. I went to work by bike and I got a lot of exercise at the weekend. I played tennis a lot and went for long walks. In those days, I didn't earn very much. I had a job in an office, which wasn't very good, but I had a lot of time to do the things I enjoyed. Then, about 8 years ago, I got a much better job. The pay was better. But the hours were a lot longer. I bought a car and drove to work every day, and began to take people out to lunch. And I began to be overweight, too. I stopped playing tennis and going for long walks at the weekend, because I just didn't have any time for things like that any more. There was a lot of stress in a job like mine; perhaps that was why I started drinking more than I used to. For example, I used to have only half a glass of whisky when I got home, and then I started filling the glass to the top. Then I had another glass, and then another. I started smoking a lot, too. I never used to smoke at all. Two months ago I had a heart attack. At first I just couldn't believe it. ''I'm too young and I want to keep healthier, I said. Luckily it wasn't very serious. I was in hospital for a few days and they did a lot of tests. The doctor advised me to stop smoking and to eat less. He told me to do a lot of other things. For example, he advised me to workless and get more exercise. But I just haven't any time! My job takes everything out of me! Sometimes I wonder if I should get another job. Perhaps I could do something that I used to do. But if I do that, I won't earn much. I have a family to support. I just don't know what I should do. 注意: 1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右; 2. 至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语; 3. 续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好; 4. 续写完成后,请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语 Paragraph 1 : Later, I knew one person who really believed in keeping fit. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2 : But now her story has completely changed the way I live. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Are you feeling anxious about your test next week? Here are some tips that will help you in dealing with stress and anxiety. Study regularly One of the most important ways of avoiding test anxiety is to prepare well in advance. Study regularly for a few hours every day. 1.. Reduce study pressure If students are not able to deal with anxiety or nervousness, they could talk to their teachers, student counselors(辅导员), parents or friends. Parents should also avoid pressurizing(加压) their kids to do well. 2.Then your children can study without any tension(紧张). Another important point that arises here is neither the students nor the parents should compare the children with their other classmates and friends. Physical fitness Do not forget to eat and sleep properly. Many times due to anxiety students avoid sleep and starve themselves. 3.. Exercising regularly is equally important as talking to friends and socializing(社交). 4. Plan your studies well. Chart(制图) out a timetable and take proper breaks between studying. Along with the study time, allot (分配) time to relax and do what you love to do. Practicing simple breathing skills will also help reduce stress. 5.While it is important to gain good scores in tests, it is not the most important thing in life. Learning to deal with nervousness and stress will not only help them to do well in school tests, but also in their future life. A. Listen carefully in class B. Prepare schedule C. Create a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere at home. D. It helps in increasing the confidence of students. E. Test and exam time causes a lot of nervousness in students. F. They should sleep for at least 6-7 hours a day and eat nutritious and healthy food. G. Students should remember that tests are just a part of life.
Susan Brownell Anthony was a lady ahead of her time. She fought for women's rights long before they became a popular issue. Susan was born on February 15,1820, in Adams, Massachusetts. At that time, women had few rights. They could not own property. Money earned by a married woman belonged to her husband. Major decisions regarding children were made by the fathers. Women could not vote. At the age of 15, Susan became a school teacher. She taught for 15 years. Then she began organizing women's groups to promote causes that were important to women. She helped gain better educational rights for women. She helped give married women possession of their earnings. After the Civil War, Susan became very involved in the women's suffrage movement. After years of lecturing, writing, and appealing by Susan and other women, some parts of the United States changed their laws to give women the right to vote. The first state was Wyoming in 1869. Other areas and states gradually followed Wyoming's decision. It was not until 1920 that the U.S Constitution was changed to give all women voting rights. Susan Brownell Anthony died in 1906 at the age of 86.She was elected to the Hall of Fame for Great Americans in 1950.She was the first American woman to have a likeness(肖像) of her face on a coin.

Shortly after the war, my brother and I were invited to spend a few days with an uncle who had just returned from abroad. He had rented a cottage in the country, although he seldom spent much time there. We understood the reason for this after our arrival: the cottage had no comfortable furniture in it, many of the windows were broken and the roof leaked, making the whole house damp. On our first evening, we sat around the fire after supper listening to the stories which our uncle had to tell of his many adventures in distant countries. I was so tired after the long train journey that I would have preferred to go to bed; but I could not bear to miss any of my uncle's exciting tales. He was just in the middle of describing a rather terrifying experience he had once had when there was a loud crash from the bedroom above, the one where my brother and I were going to sleep. ''It sounds as if the roof has fallen in! '' cried out my uncle, with a loud laugh. When we got to the top of the stairs and opened the bedroom door, we could see nothing at first because of the thick clouds of dust which filled the room. When the dust began to clear, a strange sight met our eyes. A large part of the ceiling had fallen down, falling right on to the pillow of my bed. I was glad that I had stayed up late to listen to my uncle's stories, otherwise I should certainly have been seriously injured,perhaps killed. That night we all slept on the floor in the sitting room downstairs, not wishing to risk our lives by sleeping under a roof which might at any moment fall down on our heads. We left for London the very next morning and my uncle gave up his cottage in the country. This was not the kind of adventure he cared for either! 1.Why did the uncle seldom spend much time in the country cottage? A.Because he was used to living abroad. B.Because there was no furniture in it. C.Because the cottage was in bad condition. D.Because the roof of the cottage was falling. 2.When they opened the bedroom door, they could see nothing at first because ________. A.there was too much dust in the air B.something strange blinded them C.it was completely dark inside D.it was too bright inside 3.The writer felt glad that he had stayed up late because ________. A.he saw a strange sight B.he did not miss the exciting stories C.he spent more time with his uncle D.he had a lucky escape
My First Marathon（马拉松） A month before my first marathon, one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train. Yet, I was determined to go ahead. I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P.E. class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball. I didn’t do either well. He later informed me that I was ＂not athletic＂. The idea that I was ＂not athletic＂ stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s, I realized running was a battle against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic. It was all about the battle against my own body and mind. A test of wills! The night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldn’t even find the finish line. I woke up sweating and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself. Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces(鞋带) became untied. So I stopped to readjust. Not the start I wanted! At mile 3, I passed a sign: ＂GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!＂ By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly. Despite the pain, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again. By mile 21, I was starving! As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan. She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m. or questioned my expenses on running. I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. In fact, I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had. Determined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels(世俗标签), I can now call myself a ＂marathon winner＂. 1.A month before the marathon, the author ____________.

短文改错 My little cousin is greatly interesting in science. And he does some dangerous experiments sometimes. Although his parents want to encourage him to be great scientist, at times they worry about his safety. Last week, if my cousin was doing an experiment, he hurts his thumb. My aunt felt sadly and wanted him to stop from doing that experiment. However, my cousin didn't want to give up. She said, “Many scientists got hurt when they were doing experiments, so they didn't give up.” My aunt had to let him finish the experiments and he finally succeeded in finish it
