He later informed me that I was “not athletic”.The idea that I was “not athletic” stuck with me for years. Whe

3、n I started running in my 30s, I realized running was a battle against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic. It was all about the battle against my own body and mind. A test of wills!The night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldnt even find the finish line. I woke up

4、sweating and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself.Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces (鞋带)became untied. So I stopped to readjust. Not the start I wanted !At mile 3, I passed a sign: “GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!”By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt b

5、adly. Despite the pain, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.By mile 21, I was starving !As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan.

You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of diet plan. Ope

The participants(参与者) completed interviews and medical tests every two years between 1990 and 2009. The researchers did not include any grandparents who were the

18、main caregivers for their grandchildren, only those who cared for grandchildren from time to time. The study team compared this group with seniors who provided support for non-family members, such as friends or neighbors, and seniors who did not provide any care for other people. Overall, after acco

In contrast, about half of the participants who did not help others died within five years of the start of the study. “C

21、aregiving may give caregivers a purpose of life because caregivers may feel useful for others and for society,” said Bruno Arpino, an associate professor at Pompeu Fabra University in Barelona, Spain who was not involved in the study. “Caregiving may be thought also as activity that keeps caregivers

Arpino noted, however, that caregiving is not the only activity that can improve health, and too many caring responsibilit

27、ed Mcity to allow car manufacturers to safely test their autonomous cars.While Mcity can be used to simulate many real-life road conditions, it cannot help test gestures drivers use to communicate their intention to other drivers, pedestrians or cyclists. To find a solution,UScar manufacturer Ford,

28、with researchers from Virginia Tech, firstly considered using text as a way to communicate the cars intention, but decided it would probably not work universally. The option of using symbols was also discarded, because research shows that a majority of people do not have a good understanding of what

29、theymean. Finally, the researchers settled on light signals. A white light warned that there were no humans in the car. A slow blinking one indicated that the car was coming to a stop, while a rapidly flashing light cautioned passersby that the car was about to accelerate.Then came the big challenge

30、testing the signals on real road, “We needed to try out this new lighting to communicate the intention of the vehicle, but if youve got a driver behind the seat, you still have natural communication between humans,” said Andy Shaudt, who led the Virginia Tech research team. “So we needed to make it

31、look like a driverless car.”The team designed a car seat costume that the driver would wear to cover his or her face and upper body. Of course, the drivers could see very clearly. The researchers then equipped the car with cameras to capture human reactions to a light bar on the windshield, which fl

32、ashed one of the three signals when appropriate. Six drivers, all keeping their hands low on the wheel so as not to be detected, took turns to test driving the car through the busy streets.The overall reaction to the flashing lights was very encouraging.
