Five tips for safe running
We all know that exercise is good for our health. But some kinds of exercise may be better than others. Running, for example, may help to protect against heart disease and other health problems.
Running is good exercise, but it can be hard on the body.1.
Take it easy. Do not run too much, too soon or too fast. Most people get running injuries when they push themselves too hard. The body needs time to get used to increases in distance or speed. 2.
Listen to your body. Most running injuries do not come unexpectedly. 3. They may include body aches, sore muscles and pain that does not go away.
4. There is no single best shoe for every runner. You should find the shoe that offers the best fit and support for your feet. More importantly, you should replace your shoes every 500 to 800 kilometers.
Take good notes. Take time after each run to write down what you did and how you felt. Look for patterns(模式), things that happen over and over again. These notes will help you find the best exercise for you.
Cross train. As we said earlier, running is hard on your body. So physical fitness experts suggest some form of cross training to improve muscle balance and to help you stay injury free. They say swimming, yoga, and riding a bicycle are good exercises to combine with running. 5.
A. Get good running shoes.
B. Usually, there are warning signs.
C. Running may also help you live longer.
D. These exercises are easier on the body.
E. Muscles and joints(关节) need time to recover.
F. As advertisements for the running shoe Nike say, “just do it.”
G. Here are five ideas to reduce the risk of injury.
The location of the family computer may turn into a hot debate as your children get older. Whether you have one computer in the house or five, you should consider the following things as you make a final decision.
Safety
The first consideration should be the safety of your children. There is a certain amount of danger if you allow your children to have a computer with Internet access(进入) in their rooms with no parental direction. They are much more likely to share improper information and chat with strangers if they know that no one will be watching.
This does not mean that you cannot allow your children to have a computer in their rooms. Consider allowing a computer without Internet access, or with limited access. This is especially useful for teens who use the computer for creative projects, playing video games and listening to music. Keep in mind, however, that it is likely that your kids are more skilled at computers than you are and may remove any blocks you have in place.
Computer Use
The way your family computers are used will play a large role in determining where they should be located. A machine used only for homework will need to be in a quiet location where there is low traffic. One used for chatting online can be in the room where most of the family spend their time. If Mom and Dad use a computer for work, those needs will also have to be considered.
Space
Space must also be considered in computer placement. The computer will need electricity, plenty of desk space and a spot away from the bright light of windows. You will not want it located in a room where your kids may be noisy.

A. teachers B. parents C. students D. children
2.Which of the following might be a danger to children?
A. Chatting with strangers.

A. Beside a window. B. Near the door.
C. At the corner. D. In front of a TV set.
4.Which is the first to be considered when placing a computer at home?
A. Safety.B. Computer use.C. Space.D. Comfort.
5.What can we infer from the text?
A. A child should not be allowed to use a computer.
B. A child should not be allowed to get online.
C. A computer takes up a lot of desk space.
D. Many a thing determines the location of family computers.
“Ceci, wake up. It’s an earthquake!” That’s what Cecilia Wallace heard her mother shouting on the early morning of February 27th.
Cecilia is a 7th-grader. She, her parents and her brother, Sam, were in Chile’s capital city, Santiago, the day a big earthquake hit Chile. And like just about everyone else, they were shaken out of their sleep.
“It was so frightening,” Sam wrote. “The shaking was so huge that I will never go on a ride again.” Cecilia and Sam wrote about their earthquake experiences. Their reports were later posted on the website.
Cecilia, Sam and their parents were staying in an apartment on the 15th floor of a building. They were lucky. Their building stayed standing, because it was built to withstand earthquakes.
Not everyone was as lucky as the Wallace family. More than 800 people died. Many older buildings fell down during the earthquake.
The damage in Santiago wasn’t as bad as in other parts of Chile. So the supermarkets were open for business on the morning of the quake. But it wasn’t business as usual. “The supermarkets have been crazy with people rushing to buy their food for the next while,” Sam wrote.
Not everyone was able to get money to buy food that morning. So Cecilia and Sam made food bags to distribute to people who were begging outside the supermarket. “We gave some to a kid of my age. I made sure he got cookies and bread.” Sam and Cecilia’s mother wrote that the kids also collected money for the Red Cross.
It’s certainly an experience Cecilia, Sam and their parents will never forget. Thankfully, they lived to tell their stories.
1.What was Cecilia doing when the earthquake happened?
A.Walking in the street.
B.Having class at school.
C.Sleeping in bed.
D.Playing with Sam in a park.
2.The underlined word “distribute” probably means “_____”.

3.Why were Cecilia and her family able to survive the earthquake?
A.Because they escaped before their building fell down.
B.Because they managed to escape from the fallen building.
C.Because they were helped out of the fallen building by others.
D.Because the building they were living in was strong enough.
4.From the text we can see Cecilia is a _____ girl.
A.humorousB.kind-heartedC.braveD.selfish
5.How can we know more about Cecilia’s experiences in the earthquake?
A.By watching TV.
