Running a few kilometers each day is good for our health. However, new research says running too much could be bad for us. Running long distances {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(regular) for many years could make our life{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(short), not longer. The study is from the Minneapolis Heart Institute. A researcher said too much running can created plague(斑) inside your heart,{#blank#}3{#/blank#}can lead to heart disease. He wrote that running too much for many years takes away the good things from exercise. He{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(add) that the risk of heart disease could be{#blank#}5{#/blank#}same as someone who never exercised.

    Researchers looked{#blank#}6{#/blank#}the health and training of 3,300 runners over the age of 35. 70% of them ran over 30 kilometers a week. Men who ran marathons for 25 years had 62% more plaque in their heart than men who did little{#blank#}7{#/blank#}no exercise. Another doctor said he felt cheated. He started running marathons in 1967. He used{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(run) 60 kilometers every week. He said, “I thought I was out there exhausting{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(me), building an absolutely strong heart.” The doctor advised{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(exercise) frequently but not to overdo things.

    Youth is a kind of wealth. It will gradually disappear with time {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (go) by. What can we do to fulfill our youth? In my opinion, for one thing, it is our ideas {#blank#}2{#/blank#} matters a lot to realize our value.

    No matter what our ideas are, we must try hard to achieve them. When we are young, we are full of energy. We have the {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (good) conditions in our lives. Good memories, good {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (understand) and so on. We should {#blank#}5{#/blank#} full use of these conditions to study more.

    For{#blank#}6{#/blank#}, we should do as many things as possible we want to do. Of course, they must {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (rich) our lives, which can make {#blank#}8{#/blank#} possible for us to gather many different experiences that are worth {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (remember) when we are old.

    Then when we are really old, when we cannot move any, we can be proud of our achievements that we {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (experience) in happiness and we can say we have no regret in our lives.

    Thomas is an undergraduate student at Simon Fraser University. Three years ago, he was pursuing a Science degree with the goal of {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (become) a nurse but was unsure of his next steps.

    One day {#blank#}2{#/blank#} he was attending a classroom presentation, Thomas learned about the YWCA's Boy 4 Real program. “It was {#blank#}3{#/blank#} unique experience to work with the youth, where you are giving {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (they) skills to prepare for high school.”

    Thomas has been volunteering for the program for over 3 years. His favorite parts {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (be) the community service and healthy living units, where he can share and apply what he's learning in university {#blank#}6{#/blank#} a biology student. The community service project, in which volunteers lead the youth of Grade 7 to visit a seniors home or collect cans for a food bank, is {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (especial) meaningful to Thomas.

    Volunteering with the YWCA has helped Thomas see the impact that can {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (make) by him as a mentor. Boy 4 Real gave him a {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (clear) direction of where he is headed professionally than before. Now he has made up his mind {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (continue) to stay at a school being a teacher after finishing his bachelor's degree.

    As Alison Gopnik described in her recent book, there are two kinds of parents in modern America: The Carpenter and the Gardener. The "carpenter" thinks that his or her child can{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(shape). "The idea is that if you just do the right things, get the right skills and read the right books, you're going to be able to turn your child {#blank#}2{#/blank#}a particular kind of adult，" she said

    The "gardener", however  is seldom concerned about {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (control) what the child will become and instead provides a protected space {#blank#}4{#/blank#}explore). The style is all about:" creating a rich, nutritious but also variable, diverse, active ecosystem".

    Gopnik, a psychology and philosophy professor at the University of California, Berkeley, said." Many parents are carpenters, and {#blank#}5{#/blank#}is really necessary for them to bring up their children." She spent decades researching children's development and finally {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(find) that parents often focused too much on what their children would be as adults. The harm is that parents and their children may become{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (anxiety), tense or unhappy.

    "We're so concerned about our children {#blank#}8{#/blank#} we think have difficulty mastering their own future that we're unwilling to allow them to {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (free) explore the world." she says. The truth is that the {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (little) that parents worry about outcomes, the better their children may live in life.
