21、 Many of make it our New Year decision to get more active—but you don’t have to spend large sums in gyms. 【1】 But by changing that plan for these following ideas, you can not only increase your activity but save your money.
Get started with running. Going for a jog costs nothing and is one of the easiest ways to build up your body. If running seems like a task, why not try an app to add to pleasure? I love a sports app called RockMyRun. It understands your personal pace and then matches the music beat to it. 【2】
Follow fitness bloggers. Instagram, as well as YouTube, is full of fitness bloggers competing for likes and followers. They often post some free short videos showing how they are exercising.【3】. For guidance from a personal trainer, which may even cost£ 30 to 65 an hour.
Weight to go. 【4】 You can use them to increase your resistance training—zero gym required. Tins (罐头) of beans or tomatoes can be used as smaller weights, while 2-litre drink bottles offer heavier resistance.
【5】 It may be slightly cold to work out there, but there are hundreds of nonprofit community outdoor gyms across the country. With everything from cross-trainers to leg presses, they provide various training workouts. Find your nearest outdoor gym at tgogc. com.
A.Free outdoor gyms.
B.Great various workouts.
C.It is free to download on Android and iOS.
D.Generally, gyms cost on average £ 40.53 a month.
E.Heavy kitchen items can be used as hand weightlifting equipment.
F.It is necessary for most people to train by lifting hand-held weights.
G.Make the most of their efforts by repeating these at home or in the gym.
22、Given the extremely unpleasant heatwaves of this summer, being green and good to the planet feels more urgent than ever. The actions of our governments and cities, who have the power to make a great dent in the climate crisis, are important.
Now, there are plenty of cities that are still failing to effectively take action in the climate emergency. But others are becoming successful quickly—like, for instance, the winners of two of the European Union’s most famous green cities awards: European Green Capital and European Green Leaf.
Both of the awards recognize not just what the green—stuffed cities have already achieved, but also what they’ve got planned for the future. There’s only one European Green Capital winner per year, while the yearly European Green Leaf recognizes the environmental achievements of two smaller EU cities.
And now the winners of those two awards have finally been announced. European Green Capital in 2024 will be Valencia in southern Spain, which defeated the Sardinian city of Cagliari in the final.
Valencia says proudly Turia park—the largest urban(城市的)park in Europe—has obviously increased its green infrastructure(基础设施)polices in recent years. As well as being Green Capital 2024, Valencia will take home £350,000 to put towards green policies. (2023’s winner is Tallinn, Estonia)
The Green Leaf award, meanwhile, has been won by the Danish city of Elsinore and Velenje, the fifth—largest city in Slovenia. The two winners of the Green Leaf will get £75,000 to fund local green efforts.
For the separate awards, each city had to present their ideas to a judging group. The winners were announced at a ceremony in Grenoble (this year’s European Green Capital) last week.
So even if you don’t care about EU medals. it’s very much worth visiting all these cities to find out all the cool stuff they’re doing to save the world, hit by hit.

24、 Many years ago mathematics was my enemy. I was afraid of it and I hated it so much that you could not imagine.
Then came a new teacher to our village. On the first day, he entered the classroom with huge steps, reached the blackboard in a few seconds, and wrote his name on the blackboard. Some letters were in higher places and some were in lower places; some were as big as the board itself and some were so small that we had to open our eyes a lot to see them; some were wide enough, but on the other hand some were too thin.
As he turned around, the class suddenly became still and silent, trying to make out what it was. As we read his name, we were all smiling, no laughing out loud. Soon we realized that he had a special and lasting sense of humor and we began to learn mathematics in a relaxed and happy mood (心情).
As for my mathematics study, the barriers(障碍) began to turn into pieces, and the fear began to disappear slowly. What was dark and colorless suddenly became exciting, challenging, interesting and above all simply fun.There was some humor added to every sum (算术) and there was fun in every problem.
