主题语境:人与社会　体裁:记叙文

Keeping fit often means sharing a busy pathway with cyclists,runners and walkers,but imagine facing the task of doing it all without being able to see or hear.It is a challenge many disabled athletes face,unless someone agrees to be their eyes and ears.

Newly formed group Achilles Brisbane pairs visually and audibly impaired (视觉和听觉受损的) athletes with people who would like to guide them.

Jane Britt,president of Achilles Brisbane,who is—vision and hearing—impaired,said,“When we go out,it’s much less frightening to have someone beside us that has full hearing to listen for us and tell us what’s there.”

Ms.Cullen and Ms.Britt meet up most Saturday mornings to take part in the five-kilometer park run.Their partnership is built on trust,but Ms.Britt said that it took time to develop.

Ms.Britt said it took an unexpected storm for her to trust Ms.Cullen completely.“There was violent rain,my glasses were broken and we were walking together.I suddenly had to tell her I couldn’t see anything,and I was going to have to completely trust her.From that time I knew it was going to work because she was so good about dealing with the special situation we both found ourselves in,” she said.

Isabella Allen and her seeing eye dog Tatum are two new additions to the Achilles Brisbane.Ms.Allen kept active by rowing,running and cycling but found it difficult to keep going as her vision became worse.After nearly giving up completely,she worked up the courage to ask Achilles Brisbane to find someone to share a boat with her.

Ms.Allen said the fear of not finding anyone to row with almost stopped her from reaching out to Achilles Brisbane.“But,they found people and matched me to them,” she said.“It’s the best thing I’ve ever done.”

主题语境:人与社会　体裁:说明文

Running is often tiring and a lot of hard work,but nothing beats the feeling you get after finishing a long workout around the track.

But while it’s long been believed that endorphins (内啡肽) — chemicals in the body that cause happiness — are behind the so-called “runner’s high”,a study suggested that there may be more to this phenomenon than we previously knew.

According to a recent study published by a group of scientists from several German universities,a group of chemicals called endocannabinoids (内源性大麻素) may actually be responsible for this familiar great feeling.

To test this theory,the scientists turned to mice.

Both mice and humans release high levels of endorphins and endocannabinoids after exercise,along with many other chemicals.After exercising on running wheels,the mice seemed happy and relaxed and displayed no signs of anxiety.

But after being given a drug to block their endorphins they changed.However,when their endocannabinoids were blocked with a different drug,the runner’s high symptoms seemed to fade.

“The long-held notion of endorphins being responsible for the runner’s high is false.Endorphins are effective pain relievers,but only when it comes to the pain in your body and muscles you feel after working out,” Patrick Lucas Austin wrote on a science blog.

Similar studies are yet to be carried out on humans,but it’s already well known that exercise is a highly effective way to get rid of stress or anxiety.

The UK’s National Health Service even prescribes (开药方) exercise for patients who are suffering from depression.

“Being depressed can leave you feeling low in energy,which might put you off being more active.Regular exercise can boost your mood if you have depression,and it’s especially useful for people with mild to moderate (中等的) depression,” it wrote on its website.
