3 . It’s cold and dark outside, and your bed is so warm and comfortable. Going for a run seems like such a bad idea. But before you put your running shoes away, it might be worth giving that crazy idea a try.
According to The Huffington Post，an outdoor run in winter, instead of running on a treadmill (跑步机), burns more calories (卡路里) because the body is working hard to regulate (调节) its temperature. Besides, research shows that race times are faster in cold weather than in warmer temperatures—and quicker runs burn more calories. Similarly, cold weather also makes the heart work harder to distribute blood through the body, making that vital muscle even stronger.
Outdoor exercise also turns up your energy and rids you of the stress and depression that build up every day. The heat and humidity in summer can drag you down and tire you faster, but cold weather is refreshing. It adjusts you to your surroundings, making you feel energetic.
Of course, the threat of smog in some builtup areas is a further problem to winter exercise. Heart attacks, strokes and lung cancer are all dangers of running in smog. The combination (结合) of air pollution and exercise increases the potential problems. If you do choose to run outside on smoggy days, take a path in a park or residential area to avoid polluted air, and go early in the morning, before rush hour. But staying inside on smoggy days and waiting for the next clear day to run is best.

4 . A cancer survivor has become the first woman to complete an exhausting “Sea to Summit” triathlon（三项全能运动） which saw her swim, cycle, and run over 330 miles in just five days. Andrea Mason was overjoyed when she crossed the finish line early Wednesday morning.
The race was set in the French Alps. Setting off at 6:15am on Friday, 39-year-old Mason battled through severe pain, and hallucinations(幻觉)，but she pushed on --managing to complete the race in an impressive four days, 23 hours, and 41 minutes. Andrea had been diagnosed with cancer and needed life-saving surgery. Following a successful operation, she is now hoping to raise awareness of women’s health. In the past year，Andrea set up her own charity, Lady Talk Matters, in order to improve surrounding female’s health.
Andrea, from Blackpool in Lancashire, England, said，“I am so happy all went according to plan as there were so many things that could have gone wrong. I wanted to do it in five days， and I did，but it was very tough. I had some low moments, particularly when I couldn’t sleep in my limited rest periods, and when I couldn’t keep any food down as I was running. For sure I had some doubts along the way as I was exploring the unknown with such a huge run, particularly as large parts of it were in the dark. It was bigger than I imagined, the impact on my body was huge. But every time I felt like giving up，I thought about all the women out there in pain or who still hadn’t been diagnosed. That is why I put myself through this.”
Andrea had to swim 23 miles around Lake Annecy, cycle 205 miles with 30,000 feet of vertical climbing around Mont Blanc, and run 105 miles with 4,000 feet of vertical climbing around The Ultra-Trail du Mont Blanc. You could say Andrea’s actually spent a lifetime training for an event like this. She completed her first three-mile race “powered by chocolate bars＂ when she was just four.

5 . You're at your favorite sporting event, watching your team play their hardest. Then all of a sudden you hear a cheer. This really seems to get the crowd fired up. But does anyone ever stop and think about how much time and effort it takes to be a cheerleader? Do you ever wonder how much sweat and practice go into cheerleaders being out there to cheer on their home team? Do you ever think these cheerleaders really have to have a good memory? Not only are they athletes, but they are smart athletes, and the nicest people you will ever meet. Cheerleading is a sport because cheerleaders take part in all kinds of competitions, and there is danger involved（卷入）.
It is not a well-known fact that cheerleaders have to compete in a lot of different competitions. This is something a lot of people think is very easy, but in fact, taking part in the competitions is one of the hardest things that cheerleaders have to do. Competitions take a lot of time and effort. I have been to 37 different cheerleading competitions since the age of five. And in my opinion, competitions require quite a lot of physical and mental effort.
Moreover, there are many dangerous activities involved. Jump is one of the most dangerous things in cheerleading. If you were to come down from the jump incorrectly, you could break a foot, or even a leg. Tumbling（翻腾动作）is another highly risky thing. During tumbling, concussions（脑震荡）may happen when you hit the head on the floor.
I believe that cheerleading is a sport because cheerleaders compete in all kinds of competitions, there are many different skills learn and master, and it can be a very dangerous sport. So the next time you are at your favorite sporting event listening to the cheers of the crowd, think about the preparation involved in this energetic sport.

6 . As a beginner of distance running, you probably have a million questions racing through your mind on performance, training, joining events, and generally looking good, right?
How often should I run?
This would depend on your age, if you have had any injuries, your lifestyle, available time for running, and your goal.
Even though you don't move your arms or the rest of your body as much as you do your legs and knees, it is possible that the pain is coming from muscles not used to being exercised. Knee pain is very common but most beginners do not get runner's knee immediately.
What should I eat?
Before your run, try to focus on the "Go foods", avoiding the ones with too much sugar. These are foods that are high on carbohydrates（碳水化合物）like bread, cereal, pasta, pizza, banana, and potatoes, among others. The best time to go carb-heavy is the night before the run and then 2 hours before going out for a run.
After your run, try to stick to small snacks like an energy bar, lean protein, and water to make up for what you've burned.
| A．Why is my whole body aching? |
| B．Different styles and distances require different skills |
| C．Many beginners start eagerly and try running as often as possible. |

In the morning of September 29, 2018, from 10:00 to 11:00, all the students in our school took a part in a Sunshine Sports Programmer. The Ministry of Education demands that students exercised for an hour every day so as to have a strong body and enjoying the whole life. In my opinion, it is a good idea for we senior high school students to take exercise every day. Now, everyone was eager for health, that is considered as a key factor for success. Because we spend an hour a day on exercise, it is well worth it. Not only taking exercise build up our bodies, but it also helps us concentrate on our study. Therefore, we can work more efficiently in the process of study and acquire much knowledge.
8 . Do you like running enough to make it a habit? Tierney Wolfgram does; she has made running a lifelong career and isn't stopping.
In February, the 16-year-old from a high school, US, competed at the 2020 US Olympic Trials. She finished the marathon(42.195 km)with a time of 2:42:47 as the youngest competitor in the race and ranked 76th out of 390 runners. However, the cross-country(越野的)season was postponed to winter because of the COVID-19. So she jumped at the opportunity to train for another race-the Parkway Marathon in California. In November, Wolfgram broke the Women's American Junior marathon record with her time of 2:31:49. The old record was 2:34:32, which had stood since 1984.
“I'm completely stunned, ”said Wolfgram's coach. “I knew she was going to break it, but she really showed out！”
During the run, Wolfgram once hit a wall pretty hard, but she overcame it to finish. “I guess I can say I gave it my all, ”she told Runner's World. “When I finished, all I was thinking was I felt super happy,” Wolfgram said This was only her third marathon. In 2018, when Wolfgram was 15 years old, she ran her first marathon just because she wanted to see if she had the ability to do it. “I believed that I would get faster as the distances got longer. . . I'm still glad that I did it. ”
When preparing for that first marathon, she ran up to 120 miles per week. Although her parents didn't have any background in running, they helped Wolfgram train. At first, her dad would take her out in the morning and run about 13 miles. The distance would gradually increase each day. On top of her runs in the morning, she would do cross-country practice after school.
Now Wolfgram will consider attending the Olympics Games in 2024 after it's scheduled.

10 . The COVID-19 illness causes mild or moderate symptoms for most but severe symptoms are more likely in the elderly or people with existing health problems. Most infected patients have recovered from it so far.
The leader of the IOCS coordination commission for the Tokyo Olympics says there is no May deadline to cancel the games and he remains confident the event will go ahead despite sports coming to a stop globally amid the coronavirus epidemic. John Coates, who will have to go into government-mandated self-isolation when he returns to Australia this week from Olympic business in Europe, told the Sydney Morning Herald newspaper: “It’s all proceeding to start on the 24th of July.” Dick Pound, a former IOC vice president, said that the end of May seemed to be a possible deadline for the IOC to make a call on the Tokyo Olympics. But Coates told that the IOC didn't recognize the deadline and he thought Pound had backed away from it, too.
The latest measures, which include bans on gatherings of more than 500 people, came in the wake of the suspensionz（暂停） of sporting events in parts of the world affected by the virus outbreak. That has caused postponements and uncertainty for qualifying in some Olympic sports, although the IOC and Tokyo organizers have consistently said the games will go ahead as scheduled. As for athletes traveling to Japan from affected countries. Coates said some national Olympic committees were already preparing. “The Chinese are probably the best organized,” he told the SMH. “The Chinese are in various parts of Europe and the last I heard is they're bringing them all together in a university in Paris where they'll be fully contained, 600 of them, and they will go straight from there, straight into Japan. They won’t put anyone on a plane who has got coronavirus.
