1 . On Sunday, Tara VanDerveer, Stanford University’s coach, got her 1,203rd victory in a game against Oregon State University at Maples Pavilion. The _________ has helped her set an all-time record for most-wins in the history of college _________ — men’s or women’s. Celebrations had already _________ two days before, when the 70-year-old coach _________ the most-wins record.

Instead of _________ her own achievements, VanDerveer shifted the attention to the players and their _________.

“I just _________ how our teams battled,” VanDerveer told the Pac-12 Network. “It’s just a tribute (致敬) to the _________ basketball teams I’ve taught, the nice places I’ve worked and got so much _________.”

It’s VanDerveer’s latest milestone in a __________ career marked by success. During the 1995-96 season, she took leave from Stanford to __________ head coach of the women’s national team which she led to the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta to __________ a gold medal with an undefeated record.

In a recent __________ with The New York Times, VanDerveer reflected how __________ women’s college basketball has gone. “When I __________ Stanford in 1985, we girls had to practice at 7:30 at night because the __________ went from 2 to 7. We just had hamburgers when we returned to our __________ at 9:30 or 10 o’clock at night. We had to __________ our own uniforms and shoes while the boys could get everything free from the school,” she said. “Just to see the __________ the girls get now: They can get equal support from the school. Such treatment is more than I ever could have __________.”

3 . We know that spending lots of time sitting down isn’t good for us, but just how much exercise is needed to match the negative health effects of sitting down all day? Research suggests about 30—40 minutes per day of building up a sweat should do it.

Up to 40 minutes of“moderate(温和的)to vigorous(有力的)intensity physical activity” every day is about the right amount to balance out 10 hours of sitting still, the research says—although any amount of exercise or even just standing up helps to some extent.

That’s based on a study published in 2020 analyzing nine previous studies, involving a total of 44, 370 people in four different countries who were wearing some form of fitness tracker. The analysis found the risk of death among those with a more sedentary(久坐的)lifestyle went up as time spent engaging in moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity went down. In other words, putting in some reasonably intensive activities—cycling, brisk walking, gardening—can lower your risk of an earlier death.

While analyses like this one always require some detailed dot-joining across separate studies with different volunteers, timescales and conditions, the benefit of this particular piece of research is that it relied on relatively objective data from wearables—not data self-reported by the participants.

The research based on fitness trackers is broadly in line with the 2020 WHO guidelines, which recommend 150—300 mins of moderate intensity or 75—150 mins of vigorous intensity physical activity every week to balance out sedentary behaviour.

Walking up the stairs instead of taking the lift, playing with children and pets, taking part in yoga or dancing, doing household chores, walking, and cycling are all put forward as ways in which people can be more active—and if you can’t manage the 30—40 minutes right away, the researchers say, start off small.
