19.Anybody who's noticed so many sweaty Sunday-morning photos on the Internet must think that marathons have recently regained popularity.According to Running USA,an organization that tracks the sport's growth,52percent of runners today track themselves with some sort of GPS-enabled device,like a smartphone or a fitness tracker.This statistic has likely played a role in running's growing appeal--the easily available tracking information has attracted people to the sport,and kept them going,for it's possible for anyone to see in real time how it's affecting their bodias.Today,free smartphone apps can give runners information on things like the number and length of their steps,their heart rate,even the estimated volume of oxygen they consume per minute.All this information can act as a reward and a motivator for the runner."It's one thing to hear encouragement from a coach."Bryan Boyle,editor of Runner's World magazine,explains."It's quite another,however,to appreciate-at a glance-progress made during weeks and months of running."
But run-tracking technology doesn't just help runners train harder.It also gives them the power to train more intelligently.Recreational runners today no longer have to guess how far or how fast they've run,or what their body is doing.If they can monitor their heart rate,they can make sure they're hitting the most strategic pace on each run,which can significantly increase their chances of having a positive experience on the course during race day.
No matter how much technology can promote the experience of running,though,many runners argue that the biggest benefit of the sport remains the chance to get outdoors,away from the computer,for an hour."There's so much more to experience,"adds Boyle."fresh air,travel,shoot,just overall feeling better.There's no app for that."

11.In American history,today's grandparents used to grow up in a period of angry rebelling against their parents'authority.As time goes by and they ease into the role of (51)B family members,they may wonder:What happened to the generation gap?Is it gone or just in the (52)A?Or is it still present but mostly underground?
A generation gap is commonly recognized to refer to differences between generations that cause conflict and (53)Acommunication,creating a‘gap.'Sociologist William Safire provides a more positive definition.Generation gap,according to him,can be a(n) (54)C lack of communication between young and old,which results in misunderstanding,or,on the good side,it can be regarded as a useful stretch of time that separates cultures within a society,allowing them to develop their own (55)A.From their position in the family,and with more (56)B than younger family members,grandparents are more likely to look at the generation gap (57)C,expecting that differences between generations can sometimes do some good to all those concerned.
Although there have always been differences between the generations,the drastic differences that the term implies were not much (58)D until the twentieth century.Before that time,society was not very (59)A.Young people typically lived near their extended families,prayed in their childhood churches and often worked on the family farm or in a family business.With the appearance of television and movies,young people were exposed to cultural influences (60)A to their own families and cultures.Performers like Frank Sinatra,Elvis Presley and James Dean won admiration from the younger generation but were often (61)D by the older generation.Then,to make the matter worse,came the 1960s,and the Vietnam(越南)War caused a more serious (62)B between young and old.
Today,although more Americans have admitted the existence of generational differences,most do not see them as too (63)C.That is partly because of the areas of difference.The top areas of disagreement between young and old,according to a research,are use of technology and taste in music rather than (64)A issues like religious beliefs or political viewpoints.In fact,most American people today have found ways to,on the one hand,live in harmony with family members and,on the other hand,(65)B their own tastes and preferences.
