D. Stay away from running injuries.

We all know that exercise is good for our health. But some kinds of exercise may be better than others. Running, for example, may help protect against heart disease and other health problems.

Running is good exercise, but it can harm the body, too. Here are five ideas to reduce the risk of injury.

1    Do not run too much, too soon or too fast. Most people get running injuries when they push their bodies too bad. The body needs time to get used to increase in distance or speed. Muscles and joints need time to recover.

2     Most running injuries do not come unexpectedly. Usually, there are warning signs. They may include body aches, sore muscles and pain that does not go away.

3      There is no single best shoe for every runner. You should find the shoe that offers the best support for your feet. More importantly, you should change your shoes every 500 to 800 kilometers.

4      Take time after each run to write down what you did and how you felt. Look for patterns, things that happen over and over again. These notes will help you find the best exercise for you.

5        As we said earlier, running can harm your body. So physical fitness experts suggest some forms of cross training to improve muscle balance and to help you stay injury free. They say swimming, yoga, and riding a bicycle are good exercise to combine with running        

三、短文填空

Have you ever heard of e-waste (electronic waste), which can be produced every day? E-waste is a popular, informal name for electronic products nearing the end of their "useful" life. How do you deal with your computers, MP4 players and mobile phones when they're broken or when you want a new one?

Most people just throw them away. With the development of electronic industry, e-waste pollution has become a serious problem. According to the United Nations, people around the world produced 41.8 million tons of e-waste and only recycled 6.5 million tons in 2014. The US was the biggest waster, producing 7.1 million tons. China came second, with 6 million tons.

It's important to pay attention to e-waste. It can either be valuable or harmful, depending on

how we deal with it. E-waste is a valuable urban mine (城市矿藏). The value of the metals, like

gold and silver in the waste around the world, is amazing. And the metals can be reused. But if

people throw them away, the toxic chemicals (有毒化学物质) can get into the earth or air, affecting

the environment and people's health.

Apple Company, for example, now recycles people's used products in China when they are buying new ones. The company will test and repair the used ones and sell them at lower prices. To reduce e-waste, we can also take computers and phones to see if companies offer recycling programmes.
