Jogging —Benefits for the Health

What is jogging

Originally jogging meant slowly or relaxed running some distance. Nowadays jogging has a more extended meaning that this article is based upon: Jogging is running to improve health and condition and for leisure at variable speeds. While running as a competitive game is not called jogging.

Good effects from jogging on the health condition

Jogging done on a regular basis have a good effect on the general health, provided it is not over-done. The effects are jogging makes the heart stronger. It increases the capability of the blood circulation and the respiratory (呼吸) system. It speeds up the digestive system and helps you get rid of digestive trouble. It counteracts depression. It increases the capability to work and lead an active life. Jogging makes you burn fat and can thereby help against overweight. You can consume 100-200 extra calories in a half-an-hour session. In order to loose weight effectively, the jogging sessions must be at least half an hour and be repeated fairly often. The extra burning of fat continues some time after the session is over.

If you suffer from poor appetite and too low weight, short jogging sessions will improve your appetite, and in this case it can help you to gain weight. Jogging will strengthen the muscles of the legs, hips and back. However, you will not get very big muscles from jogging. Futhermore, jogging makes you sleep better.

The pleasure from jogging

Jogging gives you physical and mental joy, provided you do not exhaust yourself. When jogging is done correctly, you will actually feel less tired when you have finished a tour than before you began. You get nice feelings —in your muscles during the jogging and afterwards. You will hear the wind blowing in the trees and the leaves rustling in the wind. You will hear the birds singing, the music of running water in the streams, or the sound of waves dashing towards the seashore. During the jogging you will also get a happy mental feeling.

After the jogging session, the stress in your mind and body is blown away. You feel calm, but usually not tired or exhausted. On the contrary, you feel more alert. When the night falls, you get a good and pleasant sleep.

Body and foot clothing

The type of clothes you wear must be suited to the weather conditions. In warm weather, shorts and a T-shirt is enough. In colder weather you must add more layers of clothes. In either case, the requirements for the clothes are: You should use light and soft clothes without any sharp sutures (缝合) or hard folds or massive folds. They should sit fairly close to your body, but not so close that you feel squeezed, trapped, or your movements are hindered. The clothes should give good ventilation (通风) for moisture (湿气) and sweat through the fabric, and the fabric should give good support against cold weather. The fabric should ideally hold water out from the outside, but

this requirement is difficult to achieve together with the requirement of good ventilation.

You should use fairly soft shoes, but with a good shape fitting to the anatomical (解剖的) shape of your feet. The soles should easily bend during the normal movements of your feet, but be rigid against unnatural movements, and support well against the ground. The underside of the soles should give friction against any type of grounds, so that you do not slide during jogging. The soles should help to distribute the weight of your body over a greater area of your foot, and not directed towards one single point that then have to carry your whole weight. The soles should buffer (缓冲) well against each impact from the ground and absorb the impacts well. The impacts not absorbed should also be distributed over a greater area of your foot, and not get directed towards narrow points.

In order to distribute body weight and impacts optimally (最佳地), modern running shoes have softer inside areas, or even liquid inside pads that absorb and distribute the weight and impact.

How to perform a jogging session —general principles

You should move slowly with little effort the first few hundred meters to warm up your muscles. Then you gradually increase your muscular work and speed. When you have done half the route, you can increase the efforts using most of your capability. This will result in a speedy spurt (冲刺) if the steepness of the path is not increasing. Increasing your effort when the steepness also increases, will usually allow you to hold the same speed. If the route is long enough, you can take two or three spurts using nearly full capacity. The last hundred meters you gradually decrease your efforts again, so that your speed slows down.

Jogging can be practiced in a gym studio at a treadmill (跑步机), and on modern treadmills. You can even pregram the length of the session and the speed variations of the session. Jogging on a treadmill can be a good way of practicing in the winter and in dense cities, but when the opportunity is there to take a jogging tour in the nature, this is far to prefer.

Jogging sessions for beginners

If you are a beginner, you must do your first sessions in a careful way to get used to jogging and to avoid over-straining your muscles. In the very beginning, take a tour of 2-3 km, alternating 3-4 times between fast walking and slow running. If your condition is very weak, you can mostly walk, but take 3-4 short cautious running. When you have got more used to jogging, take a tour of 3 km in a moderate speed and in an even terrain (地形).

Jogging sessions for experienced joggers

Experienced joggers can variate the sessions in a lot of ways：Long distance jogging 8-20 km in a moderate speed on even roads or paths, but with two or three spurts of greater speed. Short distance jogging 3-6 km in a fairly high speed, increasing the speed for some time at the mid of the tour. Jogging upward in a steep terrain 2-3 km, in a speed adjusted to the steepness. Jogging in a hilly terrain with paths going both up and down 4-8 km. When the path goes upward, you can try to hold the same speed by increasing your effort.

Some people like jogging marathon distances. If you think this is fun, you can do it with some frequency just for that sake, but you do not get more health benefits from a marathon distance than a distance of 10 km. Probably you get less. It is advisable to vary the type of jogging from day to day. Then the jogging gets more funny, and you get a variable type of training.

Beginning your jogging program

If you are not accustomed to physical activity before you start jogging, it is advisable to consult a doctor before you start. You may have health issues that is not compatible (兼容的) with jogging activities, or that you must consider when doing your jogging. The first times, you should only jog on plain ground and only for 10 minutes. Then you can increase the time, distance and the speed, and choose steeper and more difficult paths.

9.consult a doctor。根据题干before you begin your jogging program, 将答案定位在小标题Beginning your jogging program下第一句“it is advisable to consult a doctor before you start”，在这里题干只是将advisable换成了good，表达的意思相近，由此可知不定式后要填的内容。

10.plain ground。根据题干first time jogging，将答案定位在最后一部分最后一段。该段首句提到，第一此开始时，你只需要在平坦的地方上慢跑10分钟。根据terrain “地形”可知答案是plain ground。

2016 年12 月大学英语四级考试真题及答案【篇一：2016 年12 月大学英语四级翻译作文题目及答案】翻译一：在中国文化中，红色通常象征着好运、长寿和幸福。在春节和其他喜庆场合，红色到处可见。人们把现金作为礼物送给家人或亲密朋友时，通常放在红信封里。红色在中国流行的另一个原因是人们把它与中国革命和共产党相联系。然而，红色并不总是代表好运与快乐。因为从前死者的名字常用红色书写，用红墨水写中国人名被看成是一种冒犯行为。 as a symbol of good luck, longevity and happiness in chinese culture, the color of red can be seen everywhere during springfestive and other festive/ joyous occasions. cash is usually put in red envelopes as gifts for relatives and close/intimate friends. also, red is much-welcomed / fashionable in china because of its association with chinese revolutions and the communist party. however, red does not always represent / equal to good luck and joy. red was previously used to write the names of the deceased so it is seen as an offence to write chinese people ’s names in red ink. 翻译二随着中国的改革开放，如今很多年轻人都喜欢举行西式婚礼。新娘在婚礼上穿着白色婚纱，因为白色被认为是纯洁的象征。然而，在中国传统文化中，白色经常是葬礼上使用的颜色。因此务必记住，白花一定不要用作祝人康复的礼物，尤其不要送给老年人或危重病人。同样，礼金也不能装在白色信封里，而要装在红色信封里。 with the reform and opening-up of china, a great many young people nowadays prefer to hold western-style wedding: the bride wears white wedding gown because the color is considered to symbolize purity/is considered as the symbol of purity. however, in tradition chinese culture, white is often used on funerals. so, do bear in mind that white flowers should never be used as a gift to celebrate someone ’s recovery, especially not for the aged or those who are seriously ill.

Calculate for a moment what could be done with even a part of those hours. Five thousand hours, I am told, are what a typical college undergraduate spends working on a bachelor's degree. In 10,000 hours you could have learned enough to become an astronomer or engineer. You could have learned several languages fluently. If it appealed to you, you could be reading Homer in the original Greek or Dostoyevsky in Russian. If it didn't, you could have walked around the world and written a book about it. The trouble with television is that it discourages concentration. Almost anything interesting and rewarding in life requires some constructive, consistently applied effort. The dullest, the least gifted of us can achieve things that seem miraculous to those who never concentrate on anything. But Television encourages us to apply no effort. It sells us instant gratification(满意). It diverts us only to divert, to make the time pass without pain. Television's variety becomes a narcotic(麻醉的), nor a stimulus. Its serial, kaleidoscopic (万花筒般的)exposures force us to follow its lead. The viewer is on a perpetual guided tour: 30 minutes at the museum, 30 at the cathedral, 30 for a drink, then back on the bus to the next attraction—except on television., typically, the spans allotted arc on the order of minutes or seconds, and the chosen delights are more often car crashes and people killing one another. In short, a lot of television usurps(篡夺;侵占) one of the most precious of all human gifts, the ability to focus your attention yourself, rather than just passively surrender it. Capturing your attention—and holding it—is the prime motive of most television programming and enhances its role as a profitable advertising vehicle. Programmers live in constant fear of losing anyone's attention—anyone's. The surest way to avoid doing so is to keep everything brief, not to strain the attention of anyone but instead to provide constant stimulation through variety, novelty, action and movement. Quite

As the pace of life continues to increase ,we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through lift,being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body. Stress is an natural part of everyday lift and there is no way to avoid it. In fact ,it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be .A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation adn give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health. The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress,and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at the first signs of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress,in whatever form,we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between "fight" or "flight" and in more primitive days the choice made the difference between life or death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme,but however little the stress,it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long,through continued exposure to stress,that health becomes endangered.Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart disease have established links with stress.Since we cannot remove stress from our lives(it would be unwise to do so even if we could),we need to find ways to deal with it. 1.People are finding less and less time for relaxing themselves because_____. a.they do not know how to enjoy themselves b.they do not believe that relaxation is important for health c.they are travelling fast all the time d.they are becoming busier with their work 2.According to the writer ,the most important character for a good manager is his ________. a.not fearing stress b.knowing the art of relaxation c.high sense of responsibility d.having control over performance 3.Which of the follwing statements is ture? a.We can find some ways to avoid stress b.Stress is always harmful to people

Protect Your Privacy When Job-hunting Online Identity theft and identity fraud are terms used to refer to all types of crime in which someone wrongfully obtains and uses another person's personal data in some way that involves fraud or deception, typically for economic gain. The numbers associated with identity theft are beginning to add up fast these days. A recent General Accounting Office report estimates that as many as 750.000 Americans are victims of identity theft every year.

2016 年 12 月大学英语四级考试真题（第一套） Part I Writing (30 minutes)( 请于正式开考后半小时内完成该部分，之后将进行听力考试 ) Directions:For this part,you are allowed30 minutes to write an essay.Suppose you have two options upon graduation:one is to take a job in a company and the other to go to a graduate school.You are to make a choice between the two.Write an essay to explain the reasons for your choice. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words. Much controversy has been aroused about whether the students should find a job or start their own business after graduation.Taking a look around,we can find that some graduates bustle around job markets,while others choose to run a shop on TMall. However, I prefer the former choice. From my perspective, there are good reasons to find a job in the first several years after their graduation.First and foremost, if a graduate intends to accumulate working experience and learn from the seniors, it is advisable for him to find a job. It is an undeniable fact that the theoretical knowledge will provide the graduates with the ability to consider things comprehensively,however,only under the integration with practice can the rigid knowledge be useful for their future development. Inevitably, doing something small is the premise of undertaking something great. Take Jack Ma, the founder of Alibaba and taobao, for example. He also finds some jobs before establishing his own career,laying a solid foundation for his later success. Consequently,it is of great necessity to find a job after graduation.I firmly believe that it will continue to bring about more returns to our life and future.
