1 . Five tips for safe running
We all know that exercise is good for our health. But some kinds of exercise may be better than others. Running, for example, may help to protect against heart disease and other health problems.
Running is good exercise, but it can be hard on the body.
Take it easy. Do not run too much, too soon or too fast. Most people get running injuries (受伤) when they push themselves too bad. The body needs time to get used to increase in distance or speed.
Listen to your body. Most running injuries do not come unexpectedly (意外地).
They may include body aches, sore muscles (肌肉) and pain that does not go away.
Take good notes. Take time after each run to write down what you did and how you felt. Look for patterns, things that happen over again. These notes will help you find the best exercise for you.
Cross train. As we said earlier, running is hard on your body. So physical fitness experts suggest some form of cross training to improve muscle balance and to help you stay injury free. They say, besides running, swimming, yoga, and riding a bicycle are good exercises.
| A．Get good running shoes. |
| B．Here are five ideas to reduce the risk of injury. |
| C．Muscles and joints (关节) need time to recover. |
| D．Running may also help you live longer |
| E．These exercises are easier on the body. |
| F．Usually, there are warning signs. |
| G．As advertisements for the running shoe Nike say, “just do it.” |

5 . A tiger park in Phuket, Thailand is preparing to welcome back foreign visitors this week. The reopening is part of a plan to bring back foreign visitors with COVID-19 vaccination(疫苗接种)to the island. The visitors do not have to follow lockdown rules. After 14 days, as long as they have no coronavirus infection(新冠感染), they can travel elsewhere in Thailand.
Chadarat Taodaeng is the general manager of Tiger Kingdom in Phuket. He said the park had put safety measures in place before Thursday’s reopening to help foreign visitors feel comfortable.
"We have vaccinated more than 90 percent of our workers and also trained them about the ‘new normal' tourism," the manager said. The park has more than 50 tigers and a cheetah. And visitors can get close to them. Since the pandemic(流行病） lockdowns, visitor numbers have dropped from nearly 1, 000 a day to fewer than 20.
Thailand lost about $50 billion in tourism when foreign arrivals fell to 6.7 million last year. In 2019, the country had nearly 40 million visitors. And Phuket suffered from a large number of job losses and business closings.
"I’m happy that finally there will be people visiting the tigers, and Phuket city will be bustling again," said the park’s assistant manager, Phonphawit Ton-od. She added that the reopening would "help with both tigers’ and the workers’ mental health."
Even though there has been an increase in the popularity of parks like the Tiger Kingdom, experts（专家） are against the opening. Clearly, there are worries over safety after some attacks （袭击）by the animals. Bringing back visitors is important to Thailand’s economy（经济）. But government officials also have to deal with a recent increase in coronavirus infections.

Last Wednesday, the teachers and students in Senior Three attended the grown-up ceremony holding in our school hall, which theme was “Growth and Responsibility”. First, a student representing all of us made an one-minute speech. He showed our sincerely thanks to our parents and teachers and talked about our dreams. Then, some teachers and parents offered us their congratulations and expressed their expectations for ours future. Afterwards, wonderful performances were put on by students from a couple of class. Though the ceremony over now, it has made me realize clearly that I have grow up. I should be responsible to myself now. I will never forget about this experience.

9 . Every day we spend hours and hours in front of our screens. When we are not working, we are watching TV series and movies, answering emails, playing video games, or watching our social networks, resulting in severe eye fatigue(疲劳).
Adjust your screen to suit your need. Whenever you can, adjust the brightness and contrast of your screen. The lower the light and the lower the contrast, the less damage it will cause to your eyes. Whenever you can, turn on the dark mode in applications that allow it when it's dark, or you don't have natural light in your environment.
Rest your eyes. Experts recommend applying the so-called 20-20-20 rule: look away from your screen and at another distance (20 feet or six meters) for 20 seconds every 20 minutes.
Remember to blink to wet your eyes. It may sound absurd, but you might even want to set the alarm every few seconds to get used to it. Also, don't hesitate to use artificial tears if you feel that your eyes are dry all the time. Avoid using the screen as much as you can, at least the hour before you go to bed.
Finally, while opinions vary on its usefulness, you may want to consider using screen filters(过滤器) to filter out blue and green rays coming from your device.
| A．Your eyes and brain will thank you |
| B．Dark mode is good for your eyes to relax |
| C．This simple exercise will give your eyes some rest |
| D．However, there are a number of expert recommendations |
| E．Increase the distance you are from the device: the more, the better |
| F．You can also try lying on bed with your eyes closed for a little while every 10 minutes |
| G．You can try software like F. lux or RedShift to adjust the color temperature of your screen |
