9、y around.I joined a club to clean up the beach after the storm last November. As I removed the debris from the beach, I noticed an object with shiny buttons in the wet sand. It was a jacket, and I was excited since Halloween was coming and I thought I had found a great costume. After picking it up,
10、I was able to see that the jacket was from West Point (西点军校), the United States Military Academy, and it had the name “deGavre” written inside. I realized the jacket might be important to someone.

17、 were sitting while were eating; we sit in the car and we sit while we watch TV. And many of us sit for many hours at work.New research shows that sitting less than three hours a day might extend your life by two years. Peter Katzmarzyk, a scientist at the University of Louisiana in the southern Uni
18、ted States, says that sitting is ubiquitous in our lives, meaning it is something we do all the time, everywhere.However, Mr. Katzmarzyk says that does not mean you can sit for the rest of your waking hours. He also says you may exercise often, “We cant throw away physical activity. Its extremely im
19、portant. We have 60 years of research showing us that.”Mr. Katzmarzyk and his colleagues are part of a new generation of researchers studying how sitting all day affects length of life. “Studies that have assessed the relationship between sitting and mortality (死亡率) or television viewing and mortali
20、ty are very rare. Theres only been a few of them, actually five or six now, in the last four or five years.” They found that cutting television time to less than two hours a day could add one point four years to life.Luckily, change is already coming to some offices, especially in the design of desk
21、s. A “standing desk” lets people stand while they work. Another new design is called the “treadmill desk.” A treadmill is an exercise machine that lets you walk in one place. Even some U.S. schools are beginning to experiment with desks that are part bicycle to keep children moving. Thats one of the

24、tively new area of study. B. Its a hot subject studied by experts.C. Its a study that begins too late. D. Its not ignored by many experts.11.

25、o exercise.D. To seek pleasure while working. DCrying is the sign of the rawest of human emotions. We cry when we cant hold inside what we feel any more. We cry when were at our best, and when were at our worst. By we, I mean all of us - men included.But we never see other men cry. In no western cul
26、ture has it ever been acceptable for men to shed (流泪) more than a single tear, and even then its reserved for grand victories, defeats and deaths. Dutch research suggests that women cry between three and five times more than men. Generally men and women cry over the same things - deaths, break-ups a
27、nd homesickness, primarily, but researchers believe that men cry more often than women when it comes to positive events.I want to admit,Im a bit of a cryer. However, having never really experienced deaths in my life, a few weeks ago I experienced what it means to really, truly, pour my heart out in
28、tears.See, my dog - a loyal companion - was killed by a car right outside my house. Being a witness to this painful event left me in shock for a good hour, but then the floodgates opened. Over the next 48 hours, I might have cried 20 times. Once or twice I crouched (蹲) on the floor with my head in m
29、y hands and tears were the only outlet.It is suggested in the book Adult Crying: A Biopsychosocial Approach that theres a certain pleasure in crying. It helps ease stress when there is no other way to express ourselves.In those days after my dogs death, I remember thinking, “Ive got to stop this cry
