24、   Running in Cold Weather Improves Performance

Cold weather during winter months may keep many people from leaving home and running in the open air. However, a new study shows that the drop in temperature is a good reason to run. In fact, researchers say, running in cold weather helps improve one’s performance.

Many people say running in the winter can be difficult. Two reasons are the low temperatures and bitter winds. Yet many runners might find it easier than running in hot weather. That could be because lower temperatures reduce stress on the body. When you run in cold weather, your body loses less water than in warmer conditions. The body needs less water on a cold day than in warm weather. This information comes from sports scientists at St. Mary’s University in London.

John Brewer is a professor of applied sport science at St. Mary’s. For this study, he and other researchers put a group of people into a room they called an “environmental chamber”. The researchers then recreated summer and winter weather conditions in the room. The test subjects were asked to run 10,000meters under both conditions. Brewer says he and his team recorded biological measurements of the runners. “We’ve got a group of subjects into the environmental chamber, we’ve changed the conditions to recreate the summer or winter and we’ve got them to run a 10km under both of those conditions and taken various measurements（测量）on each runner while they’ve been completing their 10km.”.

They found that the runners lost water by around 30.38% more in those hotter conditions. Besides, Brewer says every movement runners make produces heat. He explains that one way in which we lose heat is by sweating(出汗). He says the body also loses heat by transporting the blood to the surface of the skin. “That heat builds up in the body and can be really damaging unless you can lose that heat. And it’s much harder to lose heat when the environment is warm as well.” And they found how they felt their perception of heat-was around a third lower when they were running in cold conditions. The body does not have to work as hard to pump blood to the skin’s surface  Several websites note that the most important thing for people who run in cold conditions is to wear the right clothing. Keeping as dry as possible is the most important when exercising in low temperatures. So, if you are a runner, don’t let winter weather keep you indoors. Simply get ready for the low temperatures and start running

【1】According to the passage, John Brewer probably agrees that  ________

A.people should run 10,000meters in winter

B.running in winter is good for your heart

C.people who run in winter like to wear thick clothing

D.running in cold conditions is better than in warm

【2】What can we infer from the passage  ________

A.Running can help us lose heat B.Running in cold weather is beneficial to our body

C.The heat can damage our body D.The body does not have to work to pump blood

【3】What is the writer's main purpose in writing this passage ________

A.To introduce a research on running by Brewer

B.To explain why running in winter is difficult for people

C.To encourage people to run outside during winter months

D.To advertise the new websites on running he created

27、There are robots all around us. Some do difficult jobs like flying airplanes and driving subway trains. Some just do one simple job, like washing clothes. They do these by “feedback” (反馈).

We human beings receive feedback through our eyes, ears and other senses (感官), which tell us what is going on around. Robots are kind of like human beings in two ways: they work and they have feedback. Information about what is happening is “fed back” into the robot to tell it what to do next.

There are robots taking care of the temperature of our houses, cookers, and hot water systems. We set the controls to the temperature we want and leave the rest to the robot. Its feedback usually comes from a thermostat (温控器). One kind of thermostat is a metal strip (金属条板), which bends (弯曲) when it gets hot. At the right temperature, it bends just enough to turn off the heat. As the air around it cools, the strip becomes straight, which turns the heat on again.

Some robots are created to work in factories. They are taught to do different jobs. First, their “brains” are shown how the job needs to be done. A person moves the “arms” and “hands” of the robot through each part of the job as the robot’s brain records each move. After that, the robot is set to work on its own. If something gets in the way, the robot will stop until a human engineer comes to solve the problem. When it is needed for a new job, its memory is deleted. Then it will be taught how to do the new work.

The most clever robots can move and see. Their eyes are cameras. Their fingers can feel shapes and even find out how hot and cold objects are. These robots have computer brains, connected to their eyes and fingers, which control their actions.

There are robots all around, making our lives easier. In some ways, they are better than human beings. They work quickly, hardly making any mistakes. They do the same jobs over and over again, never getting bored or tired.

【1】According to the passage, which of the statements is NOT true?

A．Robots mainly work by receiving feedback.

B．Not only can robots do easy jobs, but they can do hard ones.

C．Some robots can set the temperature right through a thermostat.

D．Robots working in factories are controlled by the metal strip.

【2】In this passage, the writer tells us that ________.

A．robots should be greatly improved

B．robots are very helpful and useful to humans

C．robots will probably take over in the future

D．we see robots only at certain times

【3】We can infer from paragraph 4 that ________.

A．the robots are not able to think on their own

B．the robots are controlled by engineers all the time

C．when the robots are given a new job, their memory will be cleaned off

D．most robots can do several jobs at a time

【4】If we put the passage into three parts, which of the following is the best?
