阅读理解。A. 20 Years Younger
     The book details easy and effective steps we can all take to rebuild the foundation of youth and enjoy
better health, improved energy, and a positive outlook on life. The four basic programs are: an exercise
system for fighting muscle and bone loss, a longevity-focused diet, sleep rejuvenation, and wrinkle-fighting skin care. Woven throughout the text is practical advice on changing appearances, controlling stress,
staying mentally sharp, avigating medical tests, and much more.

B. Born To Run
    Full of incredible characters, amazing athletic achievements, cutting-edge science, and, most of all, pure
inspiration, Born to Run is an epic adventure that began with one simple question: Why does my foot hurt? In search of an answer, Christopher McDougall sets off to find a tribe of the world"s greatest distance
runners and learn their secrets, and in the process shows us that everything we thought we knew about running is wrong.

C. Natural Running
     In Natural Running, Abshire explains how modern running shoes distort the efficient running technique
that humans evolved over thousands of years. He reviews the history of running shoes and injuries, making the case for barefoot running but also warning about its dangers.

D. Woodworking
     This book includes excellent instruction from a best-selling woodworking author on all aspects of
woodworking with hand tools. He approaches setting up the all-hand tool shop, explains how the tools
work in wood, addresses the joinery, and finishes with instructions on building a workshop accessory to
use with hand tools. Also included are other sample projects and information on finishing the hand
worked projects.                    

E. Whittling Little Folk: 20 Delightful Characters to Carve and   Paint
     At the beginning of the book, readers will find step-by-step carving and painting instructions for a Scandinavian inspired man and woman. Once they have learned to carve these two projects, readers will find an additional 18 patterns that can also be created with the same technique and some subtle changes.

F. Quick and Easy Meals
     The book offers healthy, low-carbon Primal-approved recipes that can all be completed in under half
an hour and, in many cases, in just a few minutes. Sisson and Meier show you how to delight your family
or guests every time with quick, delicious meals using local produce, CSA meats, healthy fats (yes, and
real butter) and common herbs and spices.
