    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.

    A pupil's diary describing how his mother {#blank#}1{#/blank#}was addicted to her cell phone ignored his efforts to express his gratitude for her on International Women's Day has become a hit.

    The third-grade primary school boy wrote the diary on March 8, a day when China holds various {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (activity) to promote respect and love of women. In the diary, he wrote that he first told a story to his mother, but she seemed uninterested and stared into her cell phone{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (devote). Sad but not discouraged, he then recited some blessings, yet his mother remained occupied with her handset. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (see) that, he chose to massage(按摩) her back. "My mother was still looking at her cell phone,{#blank#}5{#/blank#} a sign of a smile on her face, and I felt even{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (sad)," he wrote in the diary "Heart- broken Women's Day". His mother felt ashamed after reading the diary and{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (make) up her mind to spend more quality time with her son.

    {#blank#}8{#/blank#}interview with students found nearly 70 percent say {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (they) parents are often absorbed in the phones. Parents are urged to pay close attention to family education because it {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (be) they who are the first teachers to influence children.

    John Snow was a famous doctor {#blank#}1{#/blank#}was so expert that he{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (attend) Queen Victoria as her personal physician. But he became{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (inspire) when he thought about helping ordinary people{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (expose) to cholera. This was the{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (dead) disease of its day. Neither its cause nor its cure {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(understand). So many thousands of terrified people died every time there was {#blank#}7{#/blank#}outbreak. John Snow wanted to face the challenge and solve this problem. He knew that cholera would never be controlled until its cause was found. In 1854 when cholera broke {#blank#}8{#/blank#}, he began to gather information and found the evidence. It seemed that the polluted water was {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (blame). John Snow suggested the source of all water supplies{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (examine). Finally "King Cholera" was defeated.

    One day, a father and his son were walking with their horse. An old man saw them and said, "You {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(suppose) to ride a horse, not to walk it!" The father then put his son on the horse.

    Soon they passed a group of people, {#blank#}2{#/blank#}said, "That's a lazy boy! He gets to ride the horse while his father walks." The father decided to take his son off and get on the horse himself. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}they kept going, they came upon two {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(passer-by). One said, "You are a {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(self) man! Your son has to walk while you get to ride!" The man then reached down and put his son on the horse with him.{#blank#}6{#/blank#}a while, they entered a town. Everyone started to laugh at them,{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(say), "You are too heavy for that horse!" The father and his son didn't know what {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(do).

    Finally, they decided to carry the horse. When they came to a bridge, the horse {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(fall) to the water. "If you try to please {#blank#}10{#/blank#}," the father told his son, "in the end, you will please no one." Then they went home.

This is {#blank#}3{#/blank#} they have made an effort to ban it from schools. They think taking junk food out of schools will make kids healthier.

    Others, however, believe this kind of ban doesn't make much of a difference. Instead of banning junk food, they suggest students should be given choices between healthy and unhealthy ones. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (learn) to make healthier choices on their own is an important part of growing up.
