26、   Aspirin has long been praised as a wonder drug. An aspirin a day keeps the doctor away. Many Americans have been taking one aspirin a day, believing it would protect them from a heart attack, a stroke(中风), and even a cancer. But several recent studies have thrown this into question. Daily use of aspirin can have serious side effects(副作用).

One study followed more than 19,000 healthy people aged 65 and older. They were required to take either 100 mg of aspirin (a little more than the 81 mg dose that most people take) or a placebo (无效对照剂) every day for about years. Not only did people in the aspirin group not lower their risk of heart disease, or disability but they were also more likely to suffer from bleeding into the brain or stomach. And they were more likely to die because of an increased risk of giving in to cancer, Similarly, an experiment of more than 12, 500 people aged 55 and older who have a cardiovascular (心血管的) risk found no benefit to taking aspirin daily. In study of more than 15,000 people with diabetes(糖尿病), a daily aspirin did prevent heart attacks and strokes, but it also caused serious bleeding.

Although some earlier research has proved that aspirin can help people who have already had or are at high risk for heart attacks or strokes, the drug’s value is not so clear for people, especially older people. The bottom line is this: Be smart and be safe. You should not take daily low-dose aspirin without talking to a doctor if you.

27、Training for a marathon (马拉松) requires careful preparation and steady, gradual increases in the length of the runs. 【1】, buy the best-fitting running shoes you can find. No one can say which brand will work best for you or feel best on your feet, so you have to rely on your experience and on the feel of each pair as you shop. When you have found shoes that seem right, walk in them for a few days to double-check the fit. 【2】. As always, you should stretch (伸展) at least ten minutes before each run to prevent injuries.

During the first week, do not think about distance, but run five minutes longer each day. 【3】, it is wise to take a day off to rest. But during the next week, set a goal of at least a mile and a half per run. 【4】. After two weeks, start timing yourself. 【5】.

28、   Change is scary. 【1】 It can go hand in hand with the fear that we might hurt someone else if we think about ourselves. The truth is that you're so much more courageous than you give yourself credit for and far stronger than you realize. Here are some ways that you can use to help yourself make the process of creating change more manageable.

Make change into small bite size pieces. 【2】Remember that as long as you attempt to take regular practice towards your goal, such as eating more healthily every day, or walking twenty minutes a day, you' re heading in the right direction to make changes.

Form a habit of keeping a diary every day. Writing a journal every night before going to bed can effectively help you cope with the emotional impact of the change process. Go to grab a pen or pencil and remember a journal is not for being neat and tidy with good spelling. 【3】

Rest is necessary to success. Have a rest and take timeout to build your energy. 【4】If we don't give ourselves time to rest, we just end up burning out by the constant striving and worry. As we don't have the energy to keep going, we have to give up!

【5】Just accept it! I'm sorry to say that unless some people are really secure in themselves and truly happy in their own life, they're never going to like your changes. This has nothing to do with whether they love you or not. They are just for self-preservation! Therefore, give them a little time to adjust and get used to it.

29、   Betty Friedan is often called “the mother of the modern women’s liberation(解放) movement” Her famous book The Feminine Mystique changed America. Some people say it changed the world. It has been called one of the most influential nonfiction books of the 20th century. Betty Friedan was born in 1921 in Peoria, Illinois. She attended Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts, one of the country’s best colleges for women. She finished her studies in psychology(心理学) in 1942.

In 1957, Friedan started a research that was to have far- reaching(深远的) results. Most women in her class did not work outside their homes after graduation.

The result was her book, The Feminine Mystique, published in 1963. The book attacked the popular idea of the time that women could only find satisfaction through being married, having children and taking care of their home. Friedan believed that women wanted more from life than just to please their husbands and children. The book said women suffered from feelings of lack of worth.

The Feminine Mystique was a huge success, which has been sold more than three million of copies and reprinted in a number of other languages. The book helped change the lives of women in America. More women began working outside the home and more women began studying traditionally male subjects like law, medicine and engineering.
