关于跑步的英语美文篇1
每周一次慢跑可延长六年寿命
Jogging for just an hour a week can increase your life expectancy by around six years, reveal scientists.
科学家研究发现，每周慢跑一小时可延长寿命6年。
Even better news is that a gentle jog is better for you than any sort of extreme workout, the study concludes.
研究结果表明，相对于激烈运动慢跑更适合锻炼者。
The results challenge previous studies into jogging which questioned whether it is healthy or hazardous, with the debate kicking off in the 70s when middle aged men began taking an interest in the exercise. However, following the death of a few men who died while out on a run, the media suggested jogging might be too strenuous for middle aged people, casting doubts over the past-time.
此前，人们在关于慢跑对身体有无益处这个观点上有过争论。一位中年男子曾经在慢跑的过程中猝死，媒体认为慢跑对于中老年人不太适用，因为程度过于激烈。
As part of the Copenhagen City Heart study, a cardiovascular study of around 20,000 men and women aged 20 to 93, researchers set about quashing previous suggestions that jogging is bad for people's health. The study has so far resulted in over 750 papers, and has previously explored associations for longevity with different forms of exercise and other factors. Researchers believe jogging delivers multiple health benefits, improving oxygen uptake, lowering blood pressure, preventing obesity, improving cardiac function and improving psychological function, as well as many more benefits.
之后哥本哈根心脏研究中心在对两万名20至93岁的居民进行探访后得出结论：慢跑能够增加摄氧量，降低血压，预防肥胖，增强心脏功能，有益于身体健康。
关于跑步的英语美文篇2
跑步的好处多
THE runner’s high: Every athlete has heard of it, most seem to believe in it and many say they have experienced it. But for years scientists have reserved judgment because no rigorous test confirmed its existence.
Yes, some people reported that they felt so good when they exercised that it was as if they had taken mood-altering drugs. But was that feeling real or just a delusion? And even if it was real, what was the feeling supposed to be, and what caused it?
Some who said they had experienced a runner’s high said it was uncommon. They might feel relaxed or at peace after exercising, but only occasionally did they feel euphoric. Was the calmness itself a r unner’s high?
Often, those who said they experienced an intense euphoria reported that it came after an endurance event.
My friend Marian Westley said her runner’s high came at the end of a marathon, and it was paired with such volatile emotions that the sight of a puppy had the power to make her weep.
Others said they experienced a high when pushing themselves almost to the point of collapse in a short, intense effort, such as running a five-kilometer race.
But then there are those like my friend Annie Hiniker, who says that when she finishes a 5-k race, the last thing she feels is euphoric. “I feel like I want to throw up,” she said.
The runner’s-high hypothesis proposed that there were real biochemical effects of exercise on the brain. Chemicals were released that could change an athlete’s mood, and those chemicals were endorphins, the brain’s naturally occurring opiates. Running was not the only way to get the feeling; it could also occur with most intense or endurance exercise.
The problem with the hypothesis was that it was not feasible to do a spinal tap before and after someone exercised to look for a flood of endorphins in the brain. Researchers could detect endorphins in people’s blood after a run, but those endorphins were part of the bo dy’s stress response and could not travel
from the blood to the brain. They were not responsible for elevating one’s mood. So for more than 30 years, the runner’s high remained an unproved hypothesis.
But now medical technology has caught up with exercise lore. Researchers in Germany, using advances in neuroscience, report in the current issue of the journal Cerebral Cortex that the folk belief is true: Running does elicit a flood of endorphins in the brain. The endorphins are associated with mood changes, and the more endorphins a runner’s body pumps out, the greater the effect.
Leading endorphin researchers not associated with the study said they accepted its findings.
“Impressive,” said Dr. Solomon Snyder, a neuroscience professor at Johns Hopkins a nd a discoverer of endorphins in the 1970’s.
“I like it,” said Huda Akil, a professor of neurosciences at the University of Michigan. “This is the first time someone took this head on. It wasn’t that the idea was not the right idea. It was that the evide nce was not there.”
For athletes, the study offers a sort of vindication that runner’s high is not just a New Agey excuse for their claims of feeling good after a hard workout.
For athletes and nonathletes alike, the results are opening a new chapter in exercise science. They show that it is possible to define and measure the runner’s high and that it should be possible to figure out what brings it on. They even offer hope for those who do not enjoy exercise but do it anyway.
These exercisers might learn techniques to elicit a feeling that makes working out positively addictive.
The lead researcher for the new study, Dr. Henning Boecker of the University of Bonn, said he got the idea of testing the endorphin hypothesis when he realized that methods he and others were using to study pain were directly applicable.
The idea was to use PET scans combined with recently available chemicals that reveal endorphins in the brain, to compare runners’ brains before and after a long run. If the scans showed that endorphins were being produced and were attaching themselves to areas of the brain involved with mood, that would be direct evidence for the endorphin hypothesis. And if the runners, who were not told what the study was looking for, also reported mood changes whose intensity correlated with the amount of endorphins produced, that would be another clincher for the argument.
Dr. Boecker and colleagues recruited 10 distance runners and told them they were studying opioid receptors in the brain. But the runners did not realize that the investigators were studying the release of endorphins and the runner’s high. The athletes ha d a PET scan before and after a two-hour run. They also took a standard psychological test that indicated their mood before and after running.
The data showed that, indeed, endorphins were produced during running and were attaching themselves to areas of the brain associated with emotions, in particular the limbic and prefrontal areas.
The limbic and prefrontal areas, Dr. Boecker said, are activated when people are involved in romantic love affairs or, he said, “when you hear music that gives you a chill of euphoria, like Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 3.” The greater the euphoria the runners reported, the more endorphins in their brain.
“Some people have these really extreme experiences with very long or intensive training,” said Dr. Boecker, a casual runner and cyclist, who said he feels completely relaxed and his head is clearer after a run.
That was also what happened to the study subjects, he said: “You could really see the difference after two hours of running. You could see it in their faces.”
In a follow-up study, Dr. Boecker is investigating if running affects pain perc eption. “There are studies that showed enhanced pain tolerance in runners,” he said. “You have to give higher pain stimuli before they say, ‘O.K., this hurts.’ ”
And, he said, there are stories of runners who had stress fractures, even heart attacks, and kept on running.
Dr. Boecker and his colleagues have recruited 20 marathon runners and a similar number of nonathletes and are studying the perception of pain after a run, and whether there are related changes in brain scans. He is also having the
subjects walk to see whether the effects, if any, are because of the intensity of the exercise.
The nonathletes can help investigators assess whether untrained people experience the same effects. Maybe one reason some people love intense exercise and others d o not is that some respond with a runner’s high or changed pain perception.
Annie might question that. She loves to run, but wonders why. But her husband tells her that the look on her face when she is running is just blissful. So maybe even she gets a r unner’s high.
跑步的人很兴奋，每位运动员都听到过这种说法，多数人看来相信这种说法，许多人说他们有过类似的经历。但是多年以来科学家们保留对此的态度，因为没有严格的实验证明它的存在。
没错，一些人说他们在运动时感觉那么好，仿佛是服用了改变情绪的药物一般。但是这究竟是一种真实的感觉还只是一种幻觉?即使这种感觉是真实的，它应该是种什么感觉，又是什么引起的这种感觉呢?
一些表示经历过跑步者兴奋的人说，这种感觉是不寻常的。锻炼后人可能觉得放松或平静，而只在偶然的情况下，他们才会感觉精神陶醉。难道平静本身就是跑步者的兴奋吗?
那些说过自己经历过强烈陶醉感的人经常说，这种感觉出现在长时间的活动后。
我的朋友玛丽安·威斯利说，她那次跑步者的兴奋是在一次马拉松后。那种感觉下她是如此多愁善感，看见一只小狗，也能让她感伤落泪。
其他人说，当他们在短时间内剧烈地运动，比如跑5公里赛跑，累得自己几乎崩溃时，经历了兴奋。
可是还有其他人一些人，像我的朋友安妮·海内克，她说，跑完5公里后，她最不可能有的感觉就是陶醉。她说，”我感觉都要吐了。“
这种跑步者兴奋假说提出，锻炼有真实存在的对大脑的生化影响。人体释放出能够改变运动员情绪的化学物质，这些化学物质就是内啡肽--大脑的天然鸦片。跑步不是获得这种感觉的唯一方法，多数紧张或持续的运动都能产生这种感觉。
这种假说的问题是，要在人运动前和运动后都抽取精髓液来寻找大脑中内啡肽大量增加的证据是不可行的。研究人员能够检测到人在跑步后血液中的内啡肽，但是那些内啡肽是人体紧张反应的一部分，不能从血液中运输到大脑，他们不是提高人情绪的原因。所以30多年来，跑步者兴奋一直作为一项未经证明的假说。
但是现在医学技术已经赶上了运动学说。最新一期的大脑皮质期刊上报道说，德国的研究人员使用神经科学的尖端技术，证明民间的说法是正确的：跑步确实导致大脑中释放大量的内啡肽。这种内啡肽与情绪变化有联系，跑步者身体中产生的内啡肽越多，效果越明显。
这项新研究的首席研究员，波恩大学的海宁·勃克博士说，当他意识到可以直接使用他和同事们用来研究痛感的方法时，他想出了检测内啡肽假说的方法。
这种方法是使用PET(正电子发射断层扫描)扫描与最近出现的可以显示大脑中内啡肽的化学物质结合，来比较跑步者在长跑前后的大脑。如果扫描显示内啡肽产生并依附在大脑中与情绪有关的区域，这将是内啡肽假说的直接证据。而且，如果发现跑步者，他们事先不知道研究的目的，也出现与产生的内啡肽的量相关的情绪变化，那将是这种假说的另一个决定性证据。
勃克博士及其同事们招募了10名长跑选手，告诉他们说正在进行大脑中鸦片感受器的研究，但是这些长跑选手不知道研究人员正左研究内啡肽的释放和跑步者兴奋的关系。运动员们先做了一次PET扫描，在2个小时的跑步后又进行了一次扫描。他们还接受了一次标准的心理测试，以标明他们在跑步前后的情绪变化。
数据表明，确实在跑步中产生了内啡肽，并且依附在大脑与感情有关的区域，尤其是在边缘和额叶前部。
勃克博士说，当人们发生浪漫的爱情时大脑的边缘和额叶前部就活跃;或者是，他说，“当你听到一首让你陶醉得战栗的乐曲时，比如，拉赫马尼诺夫的第三钢琴协奏曲。”运动员所感到的陶醉感越强，他们大脑中的内啡肽就越多。
勃克博士说“一些人在经过很长时间或强烈的训练后，获得这样的极端经历“。他本身就是一位自行车爱好者，偶尔跑跑步。他说，他在跑步过后觉得彻底放松、头脑清醒。
研究项目也是这样的，他说，“你真该看看两个小时的跑步造成的不同，你能从他们脸上看出来。”
在一项后续研究中，勃克博士正在调查跑步是否影响痛感。他说，“有些研究表明跑步者的疼痛耐受力增强了，你必须给予他们更大的痛刺激，他们才会说‘对了，这很疼’。“
而且，他说，有些跑步者的故事说他们遇到了应力性骨折、甚至是心脏病，却还继续跑。
勃克博士及其同事们已经招募了20名跑马拉松选手和同等数目的不跑马拉松的人，正在研究跑步后的痛感差异，和大脑是否有相关的扫描变化。他还让研究对象进行走路，看看那些影响是否同运动的强度有关系，有多少关系。
那些非运动员能够帮助研究人员评估未经训练的的人们是否经受同样的影响。也许有些人喜欢强烈训练而另一些人不喜欢的原因是有些人对跑步者的兴奋或痛感变化有响应而另一些人没有。
安妮也许怀疑这一点。她喜欢跑步，却不知道为什么。她丈夫告诉她，当她跑步时她脸上的表情幸福无比。或许，她也得到了跑步者的兴奋
关于跑步的英语美文篇3
并不是热爱跑步的人才能成为奔跑者
The first time I ran, like really ran, was during middle school gym class. It took me 11 minutes and 47 seconds to finish a mile. I've been running ever since.
我第一次跑步，那种真正的跑步，是在中学体育课的时候。我花了11分47秒跑完了1英里。自那以后，我一直在跑步。
Running is the kind of thing where you put in the time and expect to see results, and let me be the first to tell you: It is supremely discouraging when you don't. It's discouraging when you run a five-mile race with your entire family and come in a solid 15 minutes behind everyone else, and it's discouraging when that time is no faster or slower than your five-mile time five years ago.
跑步是一种你会投入时间并期待成效的运动。让我做第一个告诉你这个的人：你没有做到的时候，你会刚到非常沮丧。当你和所有家人一起来一场5英里赛跑却落后了每个人15分钟的时候，是十分让人沮丧的;当你跑完5英里的时间并没有比5年前更快或更慢的时候，也是十分让人沮丧的。
And yet, my alarm is already set for 6 a.m. tomorrow, even though it's probably going to be rainy and definitely going to be cold and even though most of the time, I really hate running.
但是，我已经把明天的闹钟设置为早晨6点钟了，哪怕可能会下雨且一定会变冷;哪怕大多数时间，我真的讨厌跑步。
Don't ask me why. All I know is this: As much as I hate running, I love being a runner.
不要问我原因。我所知道的一切就是：我喜欢成为一名奔跑者和我讨厌跑步的程度相同。
There's some kind of camaraderie between people who spend more money each year on running shoes than on all their other shoes combined, and there's some fundamental similarity between people who can cross 10 miles without pausing.
比起购买其他所有的鞋子，每年花更多的钱买跑鞋的人们之间有着某种友谊;那些不用暂停就能跑完10英里的人们之间也有着根本的相似性。
On days that I run, I exert myself purely for exertion's sake. If you run too, you get why.
在我跑步的日子里，我只不过为了努力而努力。如果你也跑步，你会懂的。
When you're a runner, your people are the girls with hair elastics on their wrists and the boys with shorts shorter than yours. They might be better, faster or stronger than you, but you belong with them.
当你做奔跑者的时候，你的同伴会是那些手腕上有用来扎头发的橡皮筋的女孩子们以及那些穿着比你裤子还短的短裤的男孩子们。他们也许比你更好、更快或者更强壮，但你和他们是一起的。
It took me almost 10 years of plodding along at an 11-minute mile before I realized that I could call myself a runner, no matter how slow I go or how many races I lose.
我花了将近10年时间才做到在11分钟内跑完1英里，后来我才意识到，我可以称自己为一名奔跑者，无论我跑得多慢、无论我输掉了几场比赛。
I've laced up my shoes at least once a week since the first day I stepped foot on a track in middle school. Some weeks it's every day, some weeks it's not. Some days, I'll barely go more than a mile, and some days, I'll walk more than I jog. I may not have medals, but I have fresh air, time alone, and creaky knees and tight quads.
自从我在中学踏上跑道的第一天起，我至少每周会束紧鞋带跑一次步。有些时候我那周的每天都绑紧鞋带去跑步，有些时候不是。有些日子里，我很少跑超过1英里的距离;有些日子里，我散步的次数会比慢跑多。我可能没有奖章，但是我能呼吸新鲜空气、拥有独处的时间并有吱吱作响的膝盖和结实的股四头肌。
For me, that's enough. I run, so I am a runner.
对我来说，那就足够了。我跑步，所以我是一名奔跑者。

关于经典英语美文摘抄 【篇一】关于经典英语美文：美国革命的历史意义 The Historical Significance of American Revolution The ways of history are so intricate and the motivations of human actions so complex that it is always hazardous to attempt to represent events covering a number of years, a multiplicity of persons, and distant localities as the expression of one intellectual or social movement; yet the historical process which culminated in the ascent of Thomas Jefferson to the presidency can be regarded as the outstanding example not only of the birth of a new way of life but of nationalism as a new way of life. The American Revolution represents the link between the seventeenth century, in which modern England became conscious of itself, and the awakening of modern Europe at the end of the eighteenth century. It may seem strange that the march of history should have had to cross the Atlantic Ocean, but only in the North American colonies could a struggle for civic liberty lead also to the foundation of a new nation. Here, in the popular rising against a "tyrannical" government, the fruits were more than the securing of a freer constitution. They included the growth of a nation born in liberty by the will of the people, not from the roots of common descent, a geographic entity, or the ambitions of king or dynasty. With the American nation, for the first time, a nation was born, not in the dim past of history but before the eyes of the whole world. 美国革命的历史意义

My bowl was piled up like a little hill. “Don't study too late into the night. Do be careful of your health. Have you had any examinations recently?”Father asked me in great concern. My face turned red. I didn't dare to give Father an answer. I hadn't made any progress in my studies. I did badly in all subjects. I only got 60 for maths and failed in physics. “It doesn't matter. Try to find better study methods and to work harder. I am sure you can enter a college!”Hearing these words, I bent my head down. What a kind father! He didn't scold me, but encouraged me instead.
2017年4月21日使用的材料(Delivered on April 18, 2017) 2017年4月21日上午开课，建德严州中学（新安江校区）高一学生 请根据本材料（不必改写）做好教学设计. 教学设计上交时间：4月21日一早，抽签现场。一式15份。 选手开会时间，按正式通知为准，具体地点报到时告知。 Steven had had his first starring role in kindergarten, playing a talking stone in a class play. From the moment that he heard the applause and took his bows, he knew he wanted to be an actor. He “drew” his name as it would look at a theatre. In his mind, he “pr acticed” his acceptance speech to the Academy Awards. “I want to thank my agent…” he imagined himself saying to the crowd. By sixth grade, he was used to starring in school productions. He played Romeo in this year’s Junior Shakespeare Festival. His brother said he was probably the first Romeo in the history of theater to have braces. Steven liked everything about acting –except for his brother’s comments about it. Brad was not interested in acting. Steven dreamed of going to California or New York when he got older. Meanwhile, he read the “trades” at the library –the newspapers and magazines of the acting business. He couldn’t believe it when he saw that there was going to be an open casting call in his own Midwestern city. He begged his parents to take him, but they worked on Saturdays and they couldn’t take the day off. He was forced to ask his older brother, the critic. The part called for a boy who looked about 14. Steven figured he could pass. Unlike Brad, Steven looked older than his age. Brad, on the other hand, at 16 looked more like 14. The boys arrived early at the theater where the try-outs were taking place. There were already over 200 kids there. Steven picked up his application. Brad picked up one, too –“just for fun,” he said. Each of them then studied the short script they’d been handed. Like all the other kids, they mouthed the words over and over. Some kids found quiet spaces to read their lines aloud, with all the right emotion. Steven as ked Brad to listen to his reading. “Okay, but you have to listen to mine, too.” “Deal,” Steven answered. Then he read, and, as usual, he was good. Next, it was Brad’s turn. Steven couldn’t believe what he was seeing and hearing. Why hadn’t Brad ever tried out for a play? Where had he gotten all this talent all of a sudden? He asked his brother, “Why haven’t you tried before?” “I was waiting for something big,” Brad replied. ************************** applause /?'pl??z/ n.
