21、Tom Robinson, 24, was attempting to become the youngest person to row solo across the Pacific Ocean when his self-built rowboat Maiwar overturned in the South Pacific last week. He was less than 2,000km from his hometown Brisbane after leaving Lima, Peru last year.

Mr. Robinson activated an emergency beacon (示位标) and was rescued by a passing cruise ship (游轮). “You wonder what’s going to happen next and that is a really tough thought,” Mr. Robinson said. “But you have to push the thought away and stay positive.”

Holding his family members for the first time in 18 months stirred (激发) emotions in the young rower, and gave him a new appreciation for his hometown. “It’s really good to finally step through those doors, and be back in Brisbane. It’s home. I never missed it before, but I really did,” he said.

To end his 18 months at sea on such a crazy note was strange, but Mr. Robinson had many stories to tell. “It was the most remarkable adventure and it was more everything than I could have ever imagined.”

Mr. Robinson had one apology before he left for home with his family. “I would like to apologize to the passengers on board whose holiday I did interrupt. The people on the cruise ship were kind-hearted and I can’t thank them enough for all they did,” he said.

Mother Veronica Horgan said Thursday night had been very stressful as they waited anxiously. “But when we got the phone call on Friday, we heard his voice and he was saved and well. We were just so elated,” she said. “I never expected to have an adventurous son. But it’s been an interesting time for us all. Tom has had some fantastic experiences, and met some wonderful people along the way. That’s brilliant.”

23、Welcome to Simon’s Rock Writing Workshop(研习班)

About it

In 1983, Simon’s Rock of Bard College began offering a three-week writing workshop for high school students. It is now part of the National Writing and Thinking Network, the largest association of summer writing programs and camps in the country. Former participants have gone on to colleges like Amherst, Harvard, Kenyon, Princeton and Yale.

About its staff

The staff are skilled teachers and writers with a special interest in the theory and practice of the nationally recognized Bard College Institute for Writing and Thinking. They are selected for the Simon’s Rock workshop camp because of their record of teaching excellence and their familiarity with the needs and abilities of younger writers.

About its features

Unlike conventional workshops in creative writing, it focuses on using informal, playful and expressive writing as a way to strengthen skills of language and thinking. Out of these informal writing activities, using techniques of peer response, students develop more polished pieces, ranging from personal descriptions to stories and poems. Each weekday consists of three ninety-minute sessions organized as writing and discussion seminars. Workshop leaders write with their students, and there is frequent sharing of this informal writing, both in small groups and in the class as a whole.

Ages: 14-17

Address: Bard College at Simon’s Rock, 84 Alford Road

24、Bouncier running shoes may be bad

Despite regular changes in running shoes over the years, it is estimated that every year at least a third of runners get muscle or joint injuries caused by repeated striking of the ground. Many sports shoe-makers have begun adding extra material to running shoes, to try to soften the impact on the legs---so-called maximalist footwear. 【1】

A new study suggests this is because the extra cushioning alters the spring-like mechanics of the legs of a runner in a way that means their legs experience a greater impact with every step.

Juha-Pekka Kulmala at the University of Helsinki in Finland and his colleagues studied the biomechanics of 12 healthy men aged between 22 and 32 as they ran in two shoes types.

The first wore regular running shoes with 33 millimetres of cushioning under the heel and 22 millimetres under the forefoot, and then highly-cushioned shoes with a heel 43 millimetres thick and a forefoot of 37 millimetres.

The participants ran at two set speeds---10 and 15 kilometres per hour---along a 30-metre platform that measured how hard their feet hit the ground. They also wore reflective stickers that allowed video cameras to capture their motion for analysis.

【2】 The peak impact force was 6 percent higher on average at the slower running speed and 11 percent higher at the faster speed.

Normally when we run, our legs act like springs, with the ankle and knee joints bending, so that the leg as a whole compresses( 压缩) as the foot lands, says Kulmala. But because highly cushioned shoes already compress under the feet, our bodies subconsciously respond by no longer bending the leg joints as much. In other words, our legs become stiffer(更僵硬的). 【3】

Kade Paterson at the University of Melbourne in Australia says the findings make sense from a biomechanical point of view. 【4】 I’ve seen patients who have reported improvements with maximalist running shoes and others who have got injured in them, so there probably isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach,” He says.

A．The video suggested this was because the runners bent their knees and ankles less when they wore the maximalist shoes.

B．But injury rates haven’t fallen.

C．This means running in maximalist shoes may raise the risk of injuries.

D．Like many health-related things, we should be somewhere in the middle.

E．At both speeds, the runners landed on their feet harder when they wore the maximalist shoes than the regular kind.

F．However, he also maintains that long-term research is needed to see if maximalist shoes really lead to more injuries
