10、ning. His weight decreased by 60 pounds by the time his book, The Complete Book Of Running, was published. His book inspired millions of people. In his book and on television talk shows, he extolled the benefits of physical exercise and how it considerably increased the

13、many years to his life.“Running does have its shortcomings,” Acknowledges heart specialist Paul Thomas, in a recent medical journal. “Theimpact can be hard on your knees. Runners are more at risk during their training, particularly if they run marathons.However, the news for
14、 runners isnt all bad. Evidence suggests in spite of its shortcomings, moderate amount of running exercise can actually result in a longer, improved life.”Dr.Dale Macdonald, a certified Strength and Conditioning specialist once summed up a discussion by saying, “As with
15、 all athletic endeavors, running comes with both great reward and inherent risk. More than 60% of runners will suffer an injury that causes them to take time off runningeach year!” He also said that improving ones balance can reduce thelikelihood of injury.吉姆Fixx曾是老烟枪,体重214磅当他于20

28、ed a new era in personal transportation. As aresult, roads were built for the sake of cars and the greater mobility of people. With cars and the roads, having a business of ones own became a lot more feasible. Every type of business sprung up. Customers could easily get to t
29、he stores no matter where they were in town, provided there was a road, so businesses no longer had to be located at a towns center.And what about the family vacation? Families packed into their cars and drove across the country to explore the n

Although m
34、edical advancements have come up with ways to cover signs of aging, there is no stopping the process. During the closing period in the lifespan of human beings, people tend to “move away” from more desirable previous periods, often known as “usefulness”.Age sixty i

36、cline is a change in the body cells due to the effects of the aging process. The psychological cause of decline has something to do with unfavorable attitudes toward oneself, other people, work and life in general. Senility, a more or less complete physical breakdown, will

44、 and tsunamis. Buildings and structures are also at risk. It is interesting to note that tall buildings will suffer the least damage if they are located directly at the epicenter. This is because they can withstand the up-and-down motion of P-waves. S-waves, on the other han
45、d, occur far away from the epicenter, and cause the greatest stress by shaking buildings from side to side. These buildings are often knocked off their foundations.Buildings with thick, heavy walls do not resist shock waves very well. Violent earthquakes often cause structures to
46、collapse, burying people underneath. Brick buildings are the most vulnerable. The shaking of the earth is sometimes not the greatest disaster. It is in the subsequent fires and folds that often the greatest damage occurs.Predicting an earthquake until now has almost been technolo
