Going for a run seems like such a bad idea. But before you hide your running shoes,it might be worth giving that crazy idea a go. ‎ ‎  According to The Huffington Post,an outdoor run in winter, as opposed to one on a treadmill(跑步机),bums more calories because the body is working hard to regulate(调节)its core temperature. Furthermore, 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 the summer can drag you down and tire you faster, but cold weather is refreshing. It adjusts you to your surroundings,making you feel alive.‎ Of course,the threat of smog in some built-up areas is a further hurdle to winter exercise. Heart attacks stroke, lung cancer and asthma are all dangers of running in smog. The combination 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 car exhaust(尾气) 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.‎ 1. How does cold weather benefit runners compared with warm weather?‎ A. They can run more slowly. B. They can take in more calories. C. Their hearts can function harder. D. Their body temperature can get lower.‎ 2. How does summer affect runners?‎ A. It builds up their energy quickly. B. It makes runners tired easily. C. It lessens runners' stress. D. It causes heart attack.‎ 3. What are the runners supposed to do on smoggy days?‎ A. Stop driving cars. B. Do more exercise. C. Avoid outdoor exercise. D. Run late in the morning.‎ 4. What can be the best title of the text?‎ A. Refresh with a Winter Run B. Take Outdoor Exercise in Summer C. Go to Run in a Park D. Follow the Tips to Reduce Stress C Once you find water, a major issue remains: Is it pure? Is it drinkable? And if not, how to make it drinkable? ‎ ‎ You can make a water filter(过滤器) from a cone of birch bark(桦树皮).This cone is then filled with layers of sand, charcoal(木炭), grasses, and other materials. Grasses and sand help to trap suspended particles(悬浮颗粒). Charcoal helps to remove chemical impurities, but not bacteria.You may have to pass the water through the filter more than once, depending on the size of the filter and what it’s made of. Generally speaking, the bigger the filter, and the more layers you have in it, the better.‎ The birch bark cone will need to have a fairly small hole in the bottom. The cone will have to be tied with cordage to keep it from opening up. Put a few stones in the very bottom, to help hold your ‎ filtering materials in place. Then pour in layers of charcoal, grasses, sand, and possibly other materials that you feel will help to filter out suspended particles and perhaps even bacteria.‎ Once you have constructed the filter, simply pour impure water through the filer, catching it in another　container at the bottom.‎ This is basically the “well” method of obtaining water. Dig a hole about 2-4 feet from a water source, such as a river. Allow the hole to fill with water. The water in the hole will likely be reasonably pure.‎ 1. How do we get purer water?‎ A. Bigger filter and less layers. B. Larger filter and more layers. C. Smaller filter and more layers. D. Smaller filter and less layers.‎ 2. Why should we put some stones in the very bottom?‎ A. Killing bacteria. B. Removing chemicals. C. Keeping the materials balanced. D. Blocking water.‎ 3. What does a water filter look like?‎ A. B. C. D. ‎ 4. The text is mainly intended to present a method of _________.‎ A. cleaning water B. absorbing water C. finding water D. boiling water D Our words carry huge weight. They may influence people for years, and even for a lifetime. They provide them with courage to go on or one more reason to give up. ‎ When I was fourteen, my family moved to another city. Junior high was always a difficult time for me, and the move made my ninth－grade year even harder. I remember walking into the dining hall for the first time. The other kids had good friends with them, but I didn't know anyone. I felt lonely and went to the nearest seat after getting some food. The kids beside me looked at me up and down and then laughed. I could feel my face turning red at that moment. Then one of the kids broke the ice. "Man! You have one BIG nose!" I felt hurt and didn't know what to say. I wanted to cry. But I managed a little smile － as if it didn't hurt me at all. But it did. From then on, I would often look at myself in the mirror. I studied the big nose closely. It seemed that I was just living for my nose. Thankfully, I grew out of this influence finally. But it really took me twenty years.‎ There is another thing that is kept deep in my mind.

Over a million people each year will have a heart attack and 25% will die before they get to the hospital or in the Emergency Department. 　16. Prevention(预防)is the best way so it does not damage your heart and limit your ability to enjoy life.
