2 . Most people make a donation (捐赠)if they want to help those in need. But Eddie Izzard, a 47-year-old British man, did something completely different. He decided to raise money by running 1,100 miles. And he managed to raise more than £200,000!
It would take most people at least two years if they were crazy enough to try and mil such a distance. But Eddie Izzard? It took him just 51 days. In less than two months, he ran 43 marathons!
When asked how he felt, he said that he was planning to “sleep for a week”. He thanked the people who had come to support him and joined him on his journey.
And how long did he have to train for all this? Well, amazingly, only five weeks—he wasn’t even particularly fit when he decided to put himself in for this journey.
And what a journey it was! He lost several of his toenails (脚趾甲)and had blisters (水泡)all over his feet. He had to take ice baths for his legs at the end of each day to help stop his legs inflating (肿胀)lo twice the size of an elephant.
Ever experts are impressed with what he has achieved. Andy Dixon, editor of Runners World, says, “Covering 26 miles in a day at whatever speed for 43 runs, it’s demanding. A 5-hour marathon is a fairly decent pace. It’s a great achievement.”
So how did he do it? Well, he ran slowly at first. Ten hours a day to begin with and, as he got fitter, he got faster. In the end he was finishing in just over five hours. But fitness alone was not enough. What was more important was the fact that Eddie Izzard wanted to make a difference to other peopled lives. What Eddie Izzard did was so special that the documentary of his run has been made into an inspiring film: Believe! “You’ve got to believe you can be something else. That’s why I keep going.” Eddie says in the film.

3 . A giant digital torchbearer (火炬手) , thousands of dancers and performers and gymnasts all combined to put on a high-tech opening ceremony which impressed the world as the 19th Asian Games officially opened on Saturday night.
A vivid and colourful ceremony at the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Centre Stadium mixed the old and the new - the rich 5, 000-year history and profound culture of this eastern region of China with an amazing electronic show.

6 . Is It a Healthy Interest?
The Guinness Book of World Records describes Ranulph Fiennes as the world’s greatest living explorer. His journeys include the first polar circumnavigation (极地环行) and the first unsupported crossing of the Antarctic continent on foot. So when he suffered a heart attack, it came as something of a surprise.
Exercise is highly beneficial as it reduces both the pulse (脉搏) rate and the blood pressure so reducing stress on the heart as it brings blood round the body. It also helps to keep the artery (动脉) walls more elastic (有弹性的).
But can you push yourself too much? On the subject of exercise, it is good to take several parts of “moderate” exercise a week,which is a little more than quick walking. “We need to be careful when we’re doing extreme sports,” says expert Len Almond. “Extreme stress can make almost impossible demands on the body’s ability to recover. The stress of extreme sports forces biochemical changes in the body, and the physical response to that kind of activity will be too extreme.”
We all know how the Olympics began. The man who ran 26 miles from the town of Marathon to Athens with news of a victory died as soon as he arrived,and the cause of his sudden death might be the heart attack. Further research was done by scientists. They studied cyclists (自行车运动员) on a race that covers 230km with a height change of 5,500m. They were interested in one particular enzyme (酶), high concentrations of which are found in those who have suffered a heart attack. The scientists found that levels of this chemical increased in most of the cyclists who completed the race. The largest increases were seen in the fastest cyclists who had trained the hardest.
Most of us will never put our bodies to such extreme sports. But if, when you hear about someone like Fiennes,you ask whether exercise is worth it. I advise you to consider your own condition. Personally, I agree with the saying: “Run not to add years to your life but to add life to your years.”
1. According to the passage, taking exercise can_______ .A.speed up the heart rate | B.increase stress on the heart |
C.reduce the blood pressure | D.keep the artery walls straight |
A.Our bodies can easily deal with physical stress. |
B.Playing extreme sports is harmful to the human body. |
C.We need a long period of recovery after extreme sports. |
D.There is more to learn about the effect of physical stress. |
A.To suggest a different area of research. |
B.To support the activity of taking part in sports. |
C.To explain the effect of a height change on cyclists. |
D.To prove that extreme sports may cause heart attacks. |
A.helps you have a regular life | B.adds years to your life |
C.should be done in moderation | D.will be worth the effort |

When I was still young in my high school, my mother dragged me to play basketball to lose weight. However, it was turned out to be a bitter failure because I devoted my time on study. One day, a friend of mine contacted me and suggested that we started to swim. Without any hesitation, I agreed because we all thought that it was coolest thing in the world. I couldn’t forget the day on that I was thrown into the cold water. Fortunately, I survived. Honest speaking, I had a hard time recovered from the shock. Then my friend teaches me to hold my breath underwater. Finally, I succeeded. Now realizing that taking exercises is beneficial to my health, I develop a strong taste for swimming, which becomes part of my life.
