26、How to Avoid Leg Pain when running

While Running is fantastic exercise, it’s also a relatively high-impact activity. Pounding on the pavement can cause Leg Pain. 【1】

Spend longer warming up. If you commonly have leg pain when running, your muscles may not be sufficiently warm. 【2】 Then include dynamic stretching in your warmup routine after a brief walk. These types of stretching can better loosen your leg muscles and prepare them for a run, which may help you avoid leg pain.

Evaluate your form. 【3】 Get a coach or experienced runner to observe you running and give you tips on what might be causing your leg pain. For example, if you’re leaning too far forward when you run, you can pull too hard on your calves(小腿肚). This can result in the pain of the lower legs.

【4】 If you’re getting cramps (抽筋) or other leg pain while running, it may be because you need to build up your cardiovascular (心血管) fitness more gradually. Start by walking or jogging at a slower pace, and slowly work up to faster speeds.

Use relaxation techniques while running. Deep breathing and other relaxation techniques give you better mental focus. 【5】 which can keep you from developing leg pain.You can find recordings online or on your favorite music app. These recordings can help you focus on your breath and reach a more relaxed state as you run.

A.Slow your pace

B.Shorten your step.

C.Here are some skills to avoid leg pain.

D.They also reduce the overall stress in your body.

E.A shorter walk with long steps allows you to avoid leg pain.

F.Take a few more minutes to walk before breaking into a run.

G.If you frequently have leg pain while running, poor running form is to blame.

27、   The importance of reading literature often seems lost on many Chinese people. Even experts in education think that the first goal of education is to encourage a love of learning. There is therefore the possibility of something wrong with the way students are taught here.

Why should they read literature? Do stories have value compared with the reading and learning of facts? Studies show clearly that the most powerful ways of learning are by experience, action and doing experiments and taking risks. Yet there are so many important things to learn that cannot be learned in these ways: feelings, problem solving, danger and relationships, for example. Research into this has shown how deep reading is a valuable experience different to a learning of words or facts. Keen( 热心的) readers of -literature show a better understanding of others. Their abilities to make good decisions are raised. Young children who enjoy a parent reading stories to them show greater awareness（意识) when they reach school age.

The best schools do seem to provide a limited (有限的) chance to enjoy literature, usually about the Chinese classic stories but there is not enough "free" time for students. There are enough reading materials (材料). Chinese book shops are full of story books, and most of them are of good quality (质量) in terms of content,plot (情节) and language. Was there not a Chinese author who received a Nobel Prize for literature recently? There are moves in Chinese education to promote (提升) decision making and shared values. The value of literature is helpful to these as well as to the future of China.

【1】What does the author think of the way students are educated in China?

A.He is proud of it.

B.He is interested in it.

C.He doesn't quite accept it.

D.He is confident about it.

【2】Which is not among the most powerful ways of learning according to paragraph 2?

A.By experience.

B.By taking risks.

C.By reading deeply.

D.By doing experiments.

【3】What can be learned from the last paragraph?

A.Reading literature helps develop good values.

B.Chinese students like reading stories as they get older.

C.Stories in Chinese bookstores are generally of  poor quality.

D.Chinese students have no chance to read enough materials.

【4】What's the main idea of the text?

A.Literature is a kind of art.

B.Reading literature should be valued.

C.Good reading materials are in great need.

D.Something is wrong with Chinese education.

28、While poetry matters a lot in our house, I know that not everybody is as readily moved by words as I am. That said, I think kids benefit when parents and caregivers help them experience the world through poetry.

Poetry is important for a child's development, according to psychologist Dianne Jandrasits. Adults can create a secure attachment with kids by actively reading with them,especially between the ages of 0 and 5, and the sound of poetry can make the process fun. Poetry, Jandrasits says. can help a child learn to understand someone else 's feelings. “For a young child,” she says. "it all starts with someone understanding your feelings. And that's where parents and caregivers come in."

Dave Lucas, a lecturer at Case Western Reserve University, says, “Poetry is that place where language is pleasure and not just communication." It's pretty simple. Poetry is music. It's about playing with language and sound. And kids love to play. Lucas talked about sharing poems with kindergartners, and how much kids love it when you tell them to just make some rhymes and be silly. “The problem, though, is that as kids get older, they lose that interest in playing with words. Kids get to school and have some negative experience with poetry. Either because it's inaccessible or boring, or it's too artsy (装艺术的）.” Lucas says.

Gray-Kontar, like all the poets I spoke to, mentioned how important it is for caregivers to pay attention to what it is that their young person seems to like. whether it's a sport or some experience they're a part of, and then to select poems for them based on those interests. He suggests reaching out to a local librarian or looking up poetry readings online. The pandemic(大流行病） has been isolating for a lot of us, he says, but through poetry, we can connect with people we wouldn't necessarily meet.

【1】In what way can poetry help kids according to Jandrasits?

A．It can help them become more active.

B．It can help them hold their feelings back.

C．It can help them be independent of others.

D．It can help them become more understanding.

【2】What does Lucas insist on when it comes to teaching kids poetry?

A．Making it fun.

B．Reading it to music.

C．Explaining its rules.

D．Writing about silly things.

【3】What's Lucas's attitude towards schools' way of teaching poetry?

A．Uncertain.

B．Supportive.

C．Indifferent.

D．Dissatisfied.

【4】What docs Gray-Kontar advise caregivers to do?

A．Read kids poetry that's available online.

B．Develop kids' interest in different things.

C．Choose poetry that's in agreement with kids' hobbies.

D．Keep themselves informed of new poetry books.

29、When Wuilly Arteaga was younger, he often visited a local Internet café to learn how to play music. The café owner made a deal with him; he’d give Arteaga some cash if he helped around the business. Arteaga then used that money to buy a cheap violin. His parents, however, prevented him from playing the violin. At age 15, Arteaga decided to leave home and practice his music on the streets. “From then on, my music school has always been outside, ” he said.

In 2017, he moved to New York City. Arteaga was afraid of being unimportant in a city of so much talent (人才) and so many cultures when he first arrived, but later he became comfortable thanks to the subway, other musicians and with his violin by his side. One of his favorite places to perform in the city is Times Square. “There, it’s as if I’m playing at Madison Square Garden, where concerts are usually held. People scream and applaud (鼓掌) and dance like they’re at a concert. They make me feel like a star,” he explained.

The energy and joy from his performances were posted online in 2018 by a social media influencer who goes by the name Junebug. As Arteaga performed a hip-hop song in Times Square, Junebug and others partook in the fun with practically every dance possible to show their excitement at hearing Arteaga’s violin. The video was titled, “When New Yorkers hear a violin,” and it received over 320 thousand likes and was forwarded 120 thousand times.

Many people have recognised Arteaga’s gift for violin. “I don’t regard myself as a gifted player. I just keep my love for the violin and enjoy the pleasure it brings,” he said. “Here, day by day, I am learning its true meaning. ”

【1】Why did Wuilly Arteaga leave his home?
