ones, have been advanced to explain the popularity of jogging. The plain truth is that jogging is a cheap,
quick and efficient way to maintain physical fitness.
The most useful sort of exercise is exercise that develops the heart,lungs, and circulatory (血液循环
的)systems. If these systems are fit, the body is ready for almost any sport and for almost any sudden
demand made by work or emergencies. One can train more specifically, as by developing strength for
weight lifting or the ability to run straight ahead for short distances with great power as in football, but
running trains your heart and lungs to deliver oxygen more efficiently to all parts of your body. It is worth
doing that: this sort of exercise is the only kind that can reduce heart disease, the number one cause of
death in America.
Only one sort of equipment is needed - a pair of good shoes. Physicians advise beginning joggers not
to try to run in tennis or gym shoes. Many design advances have been made in only the last several years
that make a pair of excellent running shoes indispensable (不可缺少的) if a runner wishes to develop as
quickly as possible,with as little chance of injury as possible. A pair of good running shoes will have soft
pads for absorbing shock, as well as slightly built-up heels and full heel cups that will give the knee and
ankle more stability. A wise investment in good shoes will prevent blisters (水泡)and the foot,ankle and
knee injuries and will also enable the wearer to run on paved or soft surfaces. No other special equipment
is needed; you can jog in any clothing you desire, even your street clothes.
It takes surprisingly little time to develop the ability to run. The American Jogging Association has a
twelve-week program designed to move from a fifteen-minute walk (which almost anyone can manage
who is in reasonable health) to a thirty-minute run. A measure of common sense, a physical examination,
and a planned schedule are all it takes.
B. describe the type of clothing needed for jogging
C. provide scientific evidence of the benefits of jogging
D. launch a worldwide physical fitness campaign
B. enables a person to run straight ahead
C. is both beneficial and inexpensive
D. develops the heart, lungs, and circulatory systems
B. A pair of good running shoes is necessary for a runner to develop quickly.
C. A pair of good running shoes with a full heel-cup is designed to prevent shock.
D. Comfortable pads will give the knees and ankles more stability.
B. critical
C. approving
D. negative

This kind of loneliness is not serious. In fact,it is quite normal. For some people,though, loneliness can last
for years. Now researchers say there are three different types of loneliness.
The first kind of loneliness is temporary (暂时的). This is the most common type. It usually disappears quickly and does not require any special attention. The second kind is situation,for example,family problem,the death of a loved one,or moving to a new place. Although this kind of loneliness can cause physical
problems,such as headaches and sleeplessness, it usually does not last for more than a year.
The third kind of loneliness is the most serious. Unlike the second type,chronic (长期的) usually lasts
more than two years and has no specific cause. People who experience habitual loneliness have problems
socializing and becoming close to others. Unfortunately,many chronically lonely people think there is little
or nothing they can do to improve their condition.
Psychologists (心理学家) agree that one important factor in loneliness is a person"s social contacts,
for example,friends,family members,coworkers,etc. We depend on various people for different reasons.
For instance,our families give us emotional support,our parents and teachers give us guidance,and our
friends share similar interests and activities. However,psychologists have found that,though lonely people
may have many social contacts,they sometimes feel they should have more. They question their popularity (名气).
Psychologists are trying to find ways to help habitually lonely people for two reasons:they are unhappy and unable to socialize and there is a connection between chronic loneliness and serious illness such as
heart disease,while temporary and situational loneliness can be a sad,and sometimes dangerous condition.
B. Just ignore it.
C. Go to see a doctor.
D. Ask your teachers for guidance.
B. situational loneliness
C. a new place
D. sleeplessness
B. Chronic loneliness can cause serious illness.
C. Chronic loneliness can not be overcome.
D. Chronic loneliness is incurable.
B. the places where it appears
C. different people it happens to
D. different seasons when it appears

| Most shoplifters (商店扒手) agree that the January sales offer wonderful opportunities for the hard-working thieves. With the shops so crowded and the staff so busy, it does not require any extraordinary talent to help you to take one or two little things and escape unnoticed. It is known, in the business, as "hoisting". But now the hoisting game is not what it used to be. Even at the height of the sales, shoplifters today never know if they are being watched by one of those evil little balls that hang from the ceilings of so many department stores above the most desirable goods. As if that was not trouble enough for them, they can now be filmed at work and obliged to attend a showing of their performance in court. Selfridges was the first big London store to install (安装) closed-circuit videotape equipment to watch its sales floors. In October, last year, the store won its first court case for shoplifting using an evidence - a videotape clearly showing a couple stealing dresses. It was an important test case which encouraged other stores to install similar equipment. When the balls, called sputniks, first make an appearance in shops, it was widely believed that their only function was to frighten shoplifters. Their somewhat ridiculous (古怪的) appearances, the curious holes and red lights going on and off, certainly make the theory believable. It did not take long, however, for serious shoplifters to start showing suitable respect. Soon after the equipment was in operation at Selfridges, store detective Brian Chadwick was sitting in the control room watching a woman secretly putting bottles of perfume into her bag. "As she turned to go," Chadwick recalled, "she suddenly looked up at the sputnik and stopped. She could not possibly have seen that the camera was trained on (对准) her because it is completely hidden, but she must have had a feeling that someone was looking at her." "For a moment she paused, but then she returned to counter and started putting everything back. When she had finished, she opened her bag towards the camera to show it was empty and hurried out of the store." | |

| ［1］If you are worried about things and are under a lot of stress at work or school,then you are prob-ably not sleeping well. Worry can keep you awake,tossing and turning in bed until the early hours of the morning when you eventually fall asleep. When you wake up,you don"t feel refreshed,but tired and worn out and unable to face a new day. ［2］ Dr. Henry Winkle,i n a recent newspaper article entitled Stress and Sleep,indicates that .Dr. Winkle says,"The more we worry,the less we sleep,the more we are unable to deal with stress. If we can find a way to get a good night"s sleep,"he adds,"we can often find the energy to deal with what"s worrying us." ［3］So,what is a good night"s sleep? Research shows that the amount of sleep which people need in order to keep healthy varies a lot. Seven hours is about the average amount,though strangely enough, sleeping longer often gives you a headache instead of making you feel more refreshed. ［4］Dr. Winkle believes that preparing for sleeping is important. People who work late should try to give themselves a short break and do something restful before going to bed. This could be watching TV or listening to music. Doing some exercise earlier in the day should help you to feel physically as well as mentally tired. A bedtime drink can also help,but coffee or tea should be avoided as they contain caffeine and will keep you awake. ［5］ "When you put the light out," Dr. Winkle says,"concentrate on relaxing your muscles,working slowly up from your feet,and you "ll be asleep before you know it." | |
