7．Many people hurt their backs when they try to lift heavy things from the floor．It is easy to hurt your back muscles when you pick up a heavy object．However，there is a correct way to lift things from the floor if you pick up or lift heavy objects correctly，you probably will not hurt your back．

1．If you think that running marathons will help you live a long and healthy life，new research may come as a shock．According to a recent scientific study，people who do a very strenuous workout are as likely to die as people who do no exercise at all．
Scientists in Denmark have been studying over 1，000joggers（慢跑者） and non-joggers for 12years．The death rates（率） from the sample group suggest that people who jog at a moderate（适合的） pace two or three times a week for less than two and a half hours in total are least likely to die．
The best speed to jog at was found to be about 5miles per hour．The research suggests that people who jog more than three times a week or at higher speeds of over 7mph die at the same rate as non-joggers．The scientists think that this is because strenuous exercise causes structural changes to the heart and arteries（动脉）．Over time，this can cause serious injuries．
Peter Schnohr，a researcher in Copenhagen，said，"If your goal is to decrease（减少） risk of death and improve life expectancy，jogging a few times a week at a moderate pace is a good strategy（策略）．Anything more is not just unnecessary，and it may be harmful．"
The implications（含义） of this are that moderate forms of exercise such as tai chi，yoga and brisk walking may be better for us than"iron man"events，triathlons（三项全能） and long-distance running and cycling．According to Jacob Louis Marott，another researcher in the study，"You don't actually have to do that much to have a good impact（影响） on your health．And perhaps you shouldn't actually do too much"．

20．One day when I was 12，my mother gave me an order：I was to walk to the public library，and borrow at least one book for the summer．This was one more weapon（武器） for her to defeat my strange problem-inability to read．
In the library，I found my way into the"Children's Room．"I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random（随便地）．The cover of a book caught my eye．It presented a picture of a beagle（小猎犬）．I had recently had a beagle，the first and only animal companion（朋友） I ever had as a child．He was my secret sharer，but one morning，he was gone，given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him．I never forgot my beagle．
There on the book's cover was a beagle which looked similar to my dog．I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover．My eyes ran across the title，Amos，the Beagle with a Plan．Unknowingly，I had read the title．Without opening the book，I borrowed it from the library for the summer．
Under the shade（树荫） of a bush，I started to read about Amos．I read very，very slowly with difficulty．Though pages were turned slowly，I got the main idea of the story about a dog who，like mine，had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home．That dog was my dog，and I was the little boy in the book．At the end of the story，my mind continued the final scene of reunion（重聚），on and on，until my own lost dog and I were，in my mind，running together．
My mother's call returned me to the real world．I suddenly realized something：I had read a book，and I had loved reading that book．Everyone knew I could not read．But I had read it．Books could be unbelievably wonderful and I was going to read them．
I never told my mother about my"miraculous"（奇迹般地） experience that summer，but she saw a slow but great improvement in my classroom performance during the next year．And years later，she was proud that her son had read thousands of books，was awarded（授予） a PhD in literature（文学），and authored（创作） his own books，articles，poetry and fiction．The power of the words has held．

19．The Boy Made It!
One Sunday，Nicholas，a teenager，went skiing at Sugarloaf Mountain in Maine．In the early afternoon，when he was planning to go home，a fierce snowstorm swept into the area．Unable to see far，he accidentally turned off the path．Before he knew it，Nicholas was lost，all alone!He didn't have food，water，a phone，or other supplies．He was getting colder by the minute．
Nicholas had no idea where he was．He tried not to panic（惊慌）．He thought about all the survival shows he had watched on TV．It was time to put the tips（advice） he had learned to use．
He decided to stop skiing．There was a better chance of someone finding him if he stayed where he was．The first thing he did was to find shelter（遮盖物） form the freezing wind and snow．If he didn't，his body temperature would get very low，which could quickly kill him．Using his skis，Nicholas built a snow cave．He gathered a huge mass of snow and dug out a hole in the middle．Then he piled branches on top of himself，like a blanket，to stay as warm as he could．
