Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely contributing to fewer injuries. It does, however, have its own problem.

Race walkers are conditioned athletes. The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50-km race walk, which is about five miles longer than the marathon. But the sport’s rules require that a race walker’s knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact（接触）with the ground at all times. It’s this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity, however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass.

Like running, race walking is physically demanding, she says, According to most calculations, race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would bum about 800 calories（卡路里）per hour, which is about twice as many as they would burn walking although fewer than running, which would probably burn about 1, 000 or more calories per hour.

However, race walking does not pound the body as much as running does, Dr. Norberg says. According to her research, runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step, while race walkers, who do not leave the ground, create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step.

As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with running, such as runner’s knee, are uncommon among race walkers. But the sport’s strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips, so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport. In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should Probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique, she says. It takes some practice.

4. What advantage does race walking have over running？

A. It’s more popular at the Olympics.

B. Its less challenging physically.

C. It’s more effective in body building.

D. It’s less likely to cause knee injuries.

5. How does the author describe the characteristies of race walking and running？

A. By giving examples B. By making comparisons

C. By giving definitions D. By giving famous quotes

6. What does Dr. Norberg suggest about race walking？

A. Walking behind an experienced racers. B. Having a medical checkup.

C. Asking coaches for opinions. D. Doing regular exercises.

7. What is the author’s attitude toward race walking？

A Objective B. Doubtful C. Tolerant. D. Unclear

C

And now, Words and Their Stories, from VOA Learning English. On this program we explore terms and expressions in the English language. And today we talk about a word that will help you talk about the best of times. That word is heyday. If you are in your heyday you are in your prime. You are at the peak of your abilities. You are having your best days ever!

Some people had their heydays when they were young, maybe in college or high school. They consider themselves past their prime. They might talk about those past experiences only and not plan for new experiences in the future. These people might be stuck in their glory days. Other things besides people can have a heyday. If you are at the pinnacle of success, you could say your career is having a heyday. Also, a place, like a city, can have a heyday and so can an industry.

For example, I grew up in the rust belt of West Virginia. In its heyday, my hometown was known for its steel industry. In fact, every man in my family worked in the steel mills. But when the industry shrank, the steel factory jobs disappeared. The city fell on hard times and today is still trying to recover.

However, many other parts of West Virginia are having a tourism heyday because of the beautiful natural environment.

So where does the word heyday come from? Some word experts say that it first appeared in English in the 16th century as an interjection. An interjection is a word or cry (such as “ouch”) that expresses a sudden or strong feeling. So, “heyday” was used to express extreme happiness or wonder. Around the same time, “heyday” was also used as a noun meaning “high spirits.”

Meriam-Webster online dictionary says it was not until the 18th century that the word was used to mean “the period when one’s achievement or popularity has reached its zenith.” Usually, we use heyday in the singular form.

Saying the plural is a little less common. And that’s all the time we have for this Words and Their Stories. Until next time, I’m Anna Matteo.

8. Which of the situations is proper to use the word “heyday”？

A. A rich man B. A hard period

C. A significant event D. A popular place

9. What does “zenith” in the last paragraph probably mean?

A. peak B. quality C. quantity D. bottom

10. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?

A. How to learn English

B. Words and their stories

C. Heyday’ —The Best of Times

D. An introduction of the idioms

11. Where is the passage probably taken from?

A. a TV show B. a radio program

C. a language salon D. a speech competition

D

The connection between people and plants has long been the subject of scientific research. Recent studies have found positive effects. A study conducted in Youngstown, Ohio, for example, discovered that greener areas of the city experienced less crime. In another, employees were shown to be 15% more productive when their workplaces were decorated with houseplants.

The engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT) have taken it a step further changing the actual composition of plants in order to get them to perform diverse, even unusual functions. These include plants that have sensors printed onto their leaves to show when they’re short of water and a plant that can detect harmful chemicals in groundwater. “We’re thinking about how we can engineer plants to replace functions of the things that we use every day,” explained Michael Strano, a professor of chemical engineering at MIT.

One of his latest projects has been to make plants glow in experiments using some common vegetables. Strano’s team found that they could create a faint light for three-and-a-half hours. The light, about one-thousandth of the amount needed to read by, is just a start. The technology, Strano said, could one day be used to light the rooms or even to turn tree into self-powered street lamps.

In the future, the team hopes to develop a version of the technology that can be sprayed onto plant leaves in a one-off treatment that would last the plant’s lifetime. The engineers are also trying to develop an on and off “switch” where the glow would fade when exposed to daylight Lighting accounts for about 7% of the total electricity consumed in the US. Since lighting is often far removed from the power source—such as the distance from a power plant to street lamps on a remote highway-a lot of energy is lost during transmission.

Glowing plants could reduce this distance and therefore help save energy.

12. What does the study in the first paragraph mainly find?

A. Different plants beautify the cities B. Green plants have benefits

C. There is a big fall in crime rates. D. Employees like green plants.

13. What is the function of the sensors printed on plant leaves by MIT engineer?

A. To make the life of plants longer. B. To change composition of plants

C. To test chemicals in plants. D. To detect plants’ lack of water

14. What can we expect of the glowing plants in the future?

A. They will speed up energy production. B. They may send electricity to the home.

C. They might help reduce energy consumption. D. They could take the place of power plants.

15. What may be the best title for the passage?

A. Could glowing plants replace lamps? B. Can we grow more glowing plants?

C. How do we live with glowing plants? D. How arc glowing plants made pollution-free?

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文，续写的词数应为150左右。

During lunchtime, Emma suggested going to the 200 to feed the animals and her mom agreed.

“We’ll stop by the bakery and pick some bread up. Now hurry and eat and then we'll go. It’s going to be a lovely day. Grandma is coming with us. She'll be here any minute,” Mom said.

Emma ate her lunch and then ran into her room to get her shoes. The problem was that she could only find one of them. She looked under her bed, but all she could see were dirty towels and pants. She moved some of her toys out of the way, but still couldn’t find her shoe. After she’d checked everywhere in her room, she ran into the kitchen. “Mom, I can’t find my shoe. Will you wait while I look for it?” she asked.

Her mom thought about how many times she’d told Emma to clean her room up. She whispered something to Emma’s grandma and then said to Emma, “You will have to stay at home. Your dad and I will take Ryan to the zoo. Grandma will stay here with you.”

“No! Please wait for me. I want to go to the zoo,” Emma cried. “I’m sorry, Emma. I’ve told you a dozen times to clean your room and you ignored me. You can’t find your shoe now. It’s your own fault for not doing as I asked. You will stay at home.”

Emma ran into her bedroom, crying. Her mom came to the door and said, “Emma, clean that room of yours before I get home. I’ve told grandma not to give you any sweets until you finish the work.” She went out to the car with Ryan and Emma’s dad and then they drove away.

Paragraph 1：

Emma sat on her bed and cried for a long time.

Paragraph 2：

Emma and her grandma were sitting at the table, eating when her mom, dad, and Ryan came home.
