According to a review of evidence in a medical
journal, runners live three years 61
(long) than non-runners. You don’t have to run
fast or for long 62 (see) the benefit. You
may
drink, smoke, be overweight and still
reduce your risk of 63 ________ (die) early by
running.
While running regularly can’t make
you live forever, the review says it 64 (be)
more
effective at lengthening life 65
walking, cycling or swimming. Two of the authors
of the review
also made a study published in
2014 66 showed a mere five to 10 minutes a day
of running
reduced the risk of heart disease
and early deaths from all 67 (cause).
The
best exercise is one that you enjoy and will do.
But otherwise ... it’s probably running. To
avoid knee pain, you can run on soft surfaces,
do exercises to 68 (strength) your leg muscles
(肌肉)，avoid hills and get good running shoes.
Running is cheap, easy and it’s always 69
(energy). If you are time poor, you need run
for only half the time to get the same benefits as
other
sports, so perhaps we should all give 70
a try.

Diets have changed in china-and so too has its
top crop. Since 2011, the country 61____ (grow)
more corn than rice。 Corn production has
jumped nearly 125 percent over __62 __ past 25
years,
while rice has increased only 7
percent.
A taste for meat is 63 _____(actual)
behind the change: An important part of its corn
is used to feed
chickens, pigs, and cattle.
Another reason for corn's rise: The government
encourages farmers to
grow corn instead of
rice 64_________(improve) water quality. Corn uses
less water _65_____ rice
and creates less
fertilizer (化肥)runoff. This switch has decreased
66________ (pollute)in the
country's major
lakes and reservoirs and made drinking water safer
for people.
According to the World Bank, China
accounts for about 30 percent of total
67______(globe)
fertilizer consumption. The
Chinese Ministry of Agriculture finds that between
2005-when the
government 68______ (start) a
soil-testing program 69_________ gives specific
fertilizer
recommendations to farmers- and
2011, fertilizer use dropped by 7.7 million tons.
That prevented the
emission(排放) of 51.8
million tons of carbon dioxide. China's approach
to protecting its
environment while 70 _____
(feed) its citizens “offers useful lessons for
agriculture and food
policymakers worldwide,”
says the bank's Juergen Voegele.

I'm not sure 61 is more frightened,
me or the female gorilla(大猩猩) that suddenly
appears out of nowhere. I'm walking on a path
in the forest in the Central African Republic.
Unexpectedly, I'm face-to-face with the
gorilla, who begins screaming at 62 top of
her lungs.
That makes her baby scream, and
then a 400-pound male appears. He screams the
63 (loud)
of all. The noise shakes the
trees as the male beats his chest and charges
toward me. I quickly lower
myself, ducking my
head to avoid 64 (look) directly into his
eyes so he doesn't feel 65
(challenge).
My name is Mireya Mayor. I'm a 66
(science) who studies animals such as apes and
monkeys. I was searching 67 these three
western lowland gorillas I'd been observing. No
one had seen them for hours, and my colleagues
and I were worried.
When the gorillas and I
frightened each other, I was just glad to find
68 (they) alive. True to
gorilla's
unaggressive nature, the huge animal 69
(mean) no real harm. He was just saying:
“I'm
king of this forest, and here is your reminder!”
Once his message was delivered, he allowed me
70 (stay) and watch.

There has been a recent
trend in the food service industry toward lower
fat content and less salt.
This trend, which
was started by the medical community（医学界） 61
a method of
fighting heart disease, has had
some unintended side 62 (effect) such as
overweight and
heart disease—the very thing
the medical community was trying to fight.
Fat and salt are very important parts of a diet.
They are required 63 (process) the food
that we eat, to recover from injury and for
several other bodily functions. When fat and salt
64
(remove) from food, the food tastes as
if is missing something. As 65 result,
people will eat
more food to try to make up
for that something missing. Even 66
(bad), the amount of
fast food that people
eat goes up. Fast food 67 (be) full of fat
and salt; by 68 (eat)
more fast food
people will get more salt and fat than they need
in their diet.
Having enough fat and salt
in your meals will reduce the urge to snack(吃点心)
between meals
and will improve the taste of
your food. However, be 69 (care) not to go
to extremes. Like
anything, it is possible to
have too much of both, 70 is not good for
the health.
