After that, Mr. Lin divided(分开) the peple int five grups. Each grup had a leader. He als cllected all the mbile phnes and made sure each grup had ne. They used them as flash lights. Every 30 minutes, the grup leaders flashed their mbile phnes, and the light in the dark rainy night made everyne feel safe.

Many peple take running as a way t keep fit. They like t run in ht weather and enjy the feeling f being wet thrugh with sweat ( 汗 ) while running. Cld weather during winter mnths, with lw temperatures and freezing cld winds, may keep many peple frm running in the pen air.
Hwever, a new study shws that the drp in temperature is a gd reasn t run. In fact, running in cld weather helps imprve ne’s perfrmance. Many runners might find it easier t run in winter than in ht weather. The bdy needs less water n a cld day than in warm weather. In additin, lwer temperatures reduce stress n the bdy. When yu run in cld weather, yur heart rate is lwer.
Jhn Brewer is a prfessr f applied sprts science at St. Mary’s University in Lndn. Fr this study, he and ther researchers put a grup f peple int a rm where summer and winter weather cnditins are recreated. The test subjects were asked t run 10,000 meters under bth cnditins and their bilgical measurements were recrded and studied.
Frm the study, every mvement runners make prduces heat. The heat can be really damaging unless the bdy can lse it. One way in which peple lse heat is by sweating. The bdy lses heat thrugh sweat. The bdy als lses it by transprting the bld t the surface f the skin and it puts mre stress n the heart, especially in ht cnditins because it’s much harder t lse heat when the utside envirnment is warm. As the result shws, running in ht temperatures results in 6 percent higher heart rates.
When running in cld cnditins, the bdy des nt have t wrk hard t mve bld t the skin surface. Therefre, it requires less energy. The mst imprtant thing fr peple wh run in cld cnditins is t wear the right clthing. Keep as dry as pssible when exercising in lw temperatures. Wear warm and light clthing t keep sweat away frm yur skin. S dn’t let winter weather keep yu indrs. Simply get ready fr the lw temperatures and start running.
27. Why did Jhn Brewer make a grup f peple run in a rm?
A. Because the weather cnditins culd be recreated fr fur seasns.B. Because the researchers culd teach the peple there t study science.
C. Because the prfessr culd study science with the grup f peple.D. Because the test subjects’ bilgical measurements culd be recrded.
28. What can we learn frm the passage?
A. Running in cld weather desn’t need a lt f energy.B. Running in cld weather needs heavy clthing t keep warm.
C. Running in ht weather causes hearts beat slwer than in cld.D. Running in ht weather prduces mre heat than ther mvements.
29. What is the main purpse in writing this passage?
A. T study why the drp in temperature is gd t run.B. T cmpare benefits f running in winter and summer.
C. T encurage peple t keep running utdrs in winter.D. T shw us hw t keep healthy while running in winter.

There are several kinds f distances peple keep. Dr. Hall names them intimate, persnal, scial, and public. Intimate distance is being very clse t anther, as in a family. Persnal distance might be the kind peple put between themselves at a party. Scial distance is mre businesslike and frmal. Public distance is used by actrs, pliticians, and leaders befre a large grup.
Scientists are trying t find ut hw peple use these different distances. They want t discver why, when, and where peple allw clseness r use space t prtect themselves frm thers. Since prxemics (距离效应学) is a new science, there aren’t many cnclusins abut the meaning f space separating peple. But yu can make sme general bservatins (观察) n yur wn. Take ntes abut hw yu use space in different situatins. What message d yu get frm ther peple as they mve clse t yu r away frm yu? Des distance give yu a feeling that yu are being ignred (忽视)? When d yu feel crwded?
Standing in a line at a shp cunter, yu can learn abut space. Peple keep just enugh distance between each ther s that they dn’t invade (侵犯) each ther’s area. If yu mve int anther persn’s area, yu wuld sn knw it. That persn wuld becme nervus r turn arund t shw yu the angry expressin n his r her face. Or that persn might simply tell yu, “Please step back. I’m t crwded.”
Schl is a gd place t study hw space is used and hw peple mark their wn area. At schl yu prbably have a desk r part f a table t call yur wn. Hw d yu feel when yu find smene sitting at yur desk r cvering yur table with papers and bks? Maybe yu want t prtect yur area. Yu might tell the ther persn that it belngs t yu. Then yu might mve his r her things aside. Yu might even ask that persn t leave yur area.
Whether peple are clse tgether r far frm each ther, space can tell yu indeed. The mst imprtant thing in space dialgue is whether peple respect ne anther’s areas. Invading ther peple’s space might mean truble.
30. Frm the passage we can learn that ________
A clse distance can make yu feel cmfrtable
B. persnal distance is between family members
C. clse r nt, there is distance between peple
D. ne must keep enugh distance frm thers

C. Scientists are studying why there are kinds f distances.
D. Space amng peple is smething imprtant fr us.
32. What des the sentence “Please step back. I’m t crwded” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Yu’re standing t clse t me.B. G away r I am leaving.
C. Cme and see I am here.D. Yu take all my area as yurs.
33 What’s the best title f the passage?
