26、Exercising Safely
Exercise is a key part of staying healthy, but figuring out how to exercise safely can be tough. 【1】.
【2】. It’s especially important to consult a doctor if you have a history of heart, bone, muscle, joint, or other medical conditions. Ask your doctor for advice on how to safely start exercising and to recommend exercises that benefit your specific condition.
Drink lots of water before, during, and after exercising. Try to drink about 2 cups (470 ml) of water before you exercise, and 1 cup (240 ml) every 15 to 20 minutes during your workout. Your body will need extra water to help your muscles work and to replace the fluids lost as you sweat.

Choose clothes that suit your activity. In general, wear clothes that won’t restrict your movement or blood flow. 【4】. Wear short sleeves and light, breathable fabrics in hot temperatures, and wear layers if it’s cold.
Stop exercising if you experience pain. 【5】. If you feel any soreness or sharp pain, stop the activity. Do your best to rest the affected area until the pain starts to subside. If you believe you’ve injured yourself, you might be able to treat it at home. However, seek medical attention if you hear a pop, experience severe pain, have uncontrolled bleeding, can’t move or bear weight on a joint.
A．“No pain, no gain” is not the advice to follow

27、NANJING, Nov. 4 (Xinhua) — Xi Jinping and Ma Ying-jeou will shake hands in their historic meeting scheduled in Singapore on Saturday, head of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council said on Wednesday.
The two-part meeting includes one session open to the media and another behind closed doors, said Zhang Zhijun, who is also head of the Taiwan Work Office of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, when interviewed at the Zijinshan Summit for Entrepreneurs across the Taiwan Strait.

28、Most adults firmly believe that as kids reach their teens, they start to take crazy risks that get them in trouble. Do teenagers simply love taking all risks much more than adults? A recent study suggests otherwise.Scientists designed a simple experiment involving 33 teenagers and three other age groups.
In the experiment, the researchers tried to distinguish between two very different kinds of risk-taking. The first they called a willingness to take known risks (when the probability of winning is clear) and the second they called a willingness to take unknown risks (when the possibility of success is uncertain).
The study offered participants the opportunity to play two kinds of games. They had the chance to win money, with one game offering a known risk and the other offering an unknown risk. On each round of the game, each participant had to choose between taking a sure $5 and known or unknown risks of choices. In the known risk condition, people always knew the exact chance of winning more money, from as low as 13% to as high as 75%. In the unknown risk condition, researchers did not reveal the exact chances of winning.
What the scientists found was really quite surprising. It turned out that the average teenager was very hesitant when risks were known—more careful than college students or parents-aged adults, and about as careful as grandparent-aged adults. This means that when the risks were known, teenagers were not risky in their behavior at all. Only when the risks were unclear did teenagers choose them more often than other groups. Under those kinds of conditions, they were much more willing to take a risk than any other group.
The research, published in Proceeding of the National Academy of Sciences, suggests that adults should probably focus more energy on trying to educate teenagers about risks than limiting them. Teenagers who understand the risks associated with a decision are more likely to be careful in their behavior.
【1】The two kinds of games differed in whether________.
A．the risks were willing taken
B．the chances of winning were clear
C．the participants could be careful
D．the choices they can make are enough
【2】When facing known risks, teenagers tended to be ________.
A．ambitious
B．anxious
C．curious
D．cautious
【3】Which group in the study were more likely to take unknown risks?
A．College students
B．Teenage participant
C．Parent-aged students
D．Grandparent-aged adults
【4】According to the study, parents should ________.
A．set age limits on dangerous activities
B．encourage children to be conservative
C．help teens know more about risks
D．allow teens to make their own decisions
29、Carbon Footprint: Definition & Facts

What is a carbon footprint?
【2】 Most scientists believe that carbon dioxide and other gases like it are contributing to global warming or the slow climate change of our planet. Global warning causes lots of problems for animals and people.

Electricity
People use electricity in their homes to turn on lights, plug in(接通电源)kitchen appliances like a microwave, and even watch TV or play video games. When you use electricity in your home, you are not creating carbon dioxide, but the power plants that create your electricity do emit carbon dioxide. Power plants that use coal for energy create the most carbon dioxide.
The Environmental protection Agency (EPA) says that electricity is responsible for the largest part of most carbon footprints.
Gas Heating
【4】 Most homes use oil, natural gas, or electricity to heat their home in the winter, and all of theses sources create carbon dioxide. The amount of carbon dioxide that each family uses depends on how high they run the heat and what kind of fuel they use.
Cars

A．Causes of carbon footprint.
