There are two kinds of physical activity which require special training．The first demands exact．careful movements of the muscles（肌肉）．This kind of activiry must be strictly controlled because even a slight movenmenl in the wrong direction wilt lead to a mistake．To type quickly,for example,a person needs training;the slighmst movement of a finger in the wrong direction may cause a spelling mistake．A dancer who has to dance on the point of her shoes or turn around on one foot must be trained for a long period of time before she can sense her own center and balance herself．You may have seen a girl walking on a rope across an empty space,which,too,requires a lot of practice．
The second kind of physical activity needs greater strength or extra effort．Most of us get tired if we try to run half a mile without stopping,but a specially-trained person can do this without much effort．Three years ago,some scientists carried out experiments,which produced meaningful and unexpected results．They wanted to find out whether a certain amount of physical exercise would injure those suffering from heart problems．They selccted some male patients and trained them in continuous bicycie riding．They were surprised to find that the harmful effect of a given amount of physical effort was actually less on the hearts of these trained patients than on those of the patients who were not similarly trained．This is important because it shows that regular physical exercise enables us to make better use of the oxygen（氧气）we breathe in and that this training,in fact,reduces the amount of work our hearts do．Many tasks which are hard for untrained people are not hard at all for trained people．

One night I was sitting in my kitchen half-listening as 15-year-old Tommy fought with his 12-year-old brother Kevin．I didn't pay attention when Kevin charged up the stairs with the hurt on his face．
About 20 minutes later, as I was walking upstairs I heard Kevin inside the bathroom．I knocked on the door and asked,：“Hey Kevin, do you want to talk?”
No response．
I tried again,“why don't you come out of there?”No response again．
So, joking around, I grabbed some index cards(索引卡)and a pencil and wrote,“If you don't want to talk, we can write notes to each other．”

Every object tells a story．Even the most ordinary objects can present to us powerful images．Sometimes it is the ordinary nature of these objects that actually makes them so extraordinary．Such is the case with an old leather shoe in a museum in Alaska．At first glance it does not look like much．It is a woman's shoe of a style popular in the 1890s．But what is unique(独特的)about this shoe is where it was found．It was discovered on the Checkout Pass, the famous trail used by the people seeking gold in Alaska．Who it belonged to or why it was left there is not known．Was it perhaps dropped by accident as the woman climbed up the 1500 stairs carved outface?Or did she throw away goods that she didn't need in order to travel lighter?
Over 100, 000 people with “gold fever” made this trip hoping to become millionaires．Few of them understood that on their way they would have to cross a harsh wildness．Unprepared for such a dangerous journey, many died of starvation and exposure to the cold weather．
The Canadian government finally started requiring the gold seekers to bring one ton of supplies with them．This was thought to be enough for a person to survive for one year．They would carry their supplies in backpacks(背包)each weighing up to fifty pounds; it usually took at least 40 trips to get everything to the top and over the pass．Whoever dropped the shoe must have been a brave and determined woman．Perhaps she was successful and made it to Alaska．Perhaps she had to turn back in defeat．No one will ever know for sure, but what we do know is that she took part in one of the greatest adventures in the 19th century．
