We all know that exercise is good for your health. But some kinds of exercise may be better than others. Running for example, may help to protect us {#blank#}1{#/blank#}heart disease and other health problems. Running also may help you live {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(long).

    Recently, researchers studied more than 55,000 adults. About one-fourth of the adults reported running{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(regular). The study found these runners were considerably less likely than non-runners{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(die)of any form of disease, including heart disease.

    D. C. Lee and the other researchers found that speed,{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (distant)and how often one runs made little difference in{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(reduce)the risk of death. The runners in the study averaged between 10 and 16 kilometers per hour. Mr. Lee says slower runners, and those who only ran once{#blank#}7{#/blank#}twice a week, were helped nearly as much as those who ran faster and further.

    The researchers note that their study{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(base) on the participants' answering questions over the years. The study lacked complete information on {#blank#}9{#/blank#}these men and women ate and other facts about their lifestyles.

Researchers say this missing information could have affected the results. Still they hope their findings will motivate healthy adults to start running, a bit, down the road to live{#blank#}10{#/blank#}longer life.

    Do your family often take a trip? For most families, a trip in a car to an unfamiliar (不熟悉的) area often goes with the question about which way {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(take). This is not the case, however, in the Williams family. They never get {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(lose) when five-year-old Daniel is with them. That's because Daniel has the unbelievable{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(able) to tell them the best way to get from one place to another anywhere in England and what's more, he doesn't need a map-he can do it{#blank#}4{#/blank#}thinking.

    Daniel{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(be) interested in place names since he first learned to talk. When he was about three, he started asking his parents questions about how the roads they drove along joined up, and{#blank#}6{#/blank#}soon became obvious that he had a super memory for maps. He had no difficulty{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(remember) the roads he saw from the car window.

    Now, after school, Daniel's {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(favor) game is drawing maps of the road systems in the places he hasn't visited. His parents have no idea where his particular talent comes from{#blank#}9{#/blank#}no one else in the family has it. Although he has other{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(hobby) Daniel's greatest goal in life is to become a mapmaker.

    E-commerce（电子商务）has changed the lives of people across the world. With fewer people {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(leave) home for shopping, physical stores are having a more {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(difficulty) time. It seems that one kind of physical store is not being hit—the convenience store.

    Convenience store sales in 2016 in China increased by 13 percent {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(compare) with that of 2015, according to China Daily. There are now{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(near) 100,000 convenience stores in China. And in Japan, there are 11,000 more convenience stores in 2017 than in 2010.

    Why are these 24-hour stores with {#blank#}5{#/blank#}average area of 110 square meters enjoying such rapid {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(develop)?

    One reason is that young people have grown into the habit of shopping at convenience stores, noted Convenience Store News. Convenience {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(store) not only have everything for daily use, but also fresh food like sushi, bread and salads,{#blank#}8{#/blank#} are all quite popular among young people.

    What's more, different {#blank#}9{#/blank#} supermarkets, many convenience stores sell things they make themselves, like bread and cakes. As these products can only{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(find) in these stores, many people go there just to buy them.

    Valentine's Day is known as a day of love and romance on February 14th every year.

    There are a few different versions of its origin and history, one of which dates back {#blank#}1{#/blank#} an ancient Roman festival, Lupercalia, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (celebrate) on February 15th. On this day, young single women would place {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (they) names in a huge container and young bachelors of the town would come and draw a name from it. The young man and the woman, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} name was picked would become partners for the {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (follow) years. Many of these couples would eventually get {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(marry). It {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (believe) that the month of February is perfect for romance.

    Valentine's Day was originally celebrated in Europe, but in recent years it is also celebrated in China, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (especial) among young people. Interestingly, China has its own Valentine's Day, Qixi Festival, on the 7th day of the 7th month of our lunar calendar. It is in memory of a day on which the legendary cow-herder and weaving-maid {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (allow) to be together, after being separated by the Milky Way for a whole year. What {#blank#}10{#/blank#} interesting story!

    I'm not sure when I started to love qipaos. I just remember that when I saw Zhao Weiand other stars {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(wear) qipaos in the TV series Romance in the Rain, I {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(impress). Although Chinese women are fond of wearing qipaos for special events, for example, red ones for weddings, I wear them more {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(frequent), not only for parties but also sometimes even in the office.

    I've collected some qipaos, {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(buy) at a store in one of Beijing's historical neighborhoods. A Chinese friend of mine recently gave me one of her old qipaos, which almost reaches my ankles. The qipao fits well at the shoulders, {#blank#}5{#/blank#}it was simply too tight（紧的）at the waist.

    Many foreigners'{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(body) differ from those of the Chinese, which makes{#blank#}7{#/blank#} hard for some foreigners to take off qipaos. Because I am not too short, and pretty thin, I can often buy ready-made qipaos in China.

    In my native United States, non-Asians {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(be) sometimes blamed on social media for wearing qipaos because of {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(culture)differences, but in China, people have what I consider a more reasonable and open-minded approach: If foreigners wear qipaos, it is seen {#blank#}10{#/blank#} an attitude of appreciation for Chinese culture.
