Jim Fixx had been a heavy smoker and weighed 214 pounds when he took up running in the 1960s. He soon reaped the benefits from running. His weight decreased by 60 pounds by the time his book, The Complete Book Of Running, was published. His book inspired millions of people. In his book and on television talk shows, he extolled the benefits of physical exercise and how it considerably increased the average people’s life expectancy. His readers and audience became more health-conscious. However , to their shock, Fixx died at the age of 52 after his daily run. Many who opposed his beliefs said this was evidence that running was harmful. However, his supporters revealed that the real cause of Fixx’s death was a heart attack. He came from a family where men had poor health stories. His father suffered a heart attack at the age of 35 and died of one at 42. Given Fixx’s unhealthy lifestyle until he took up running, many argued that running added many years to his life. “Running does have its shortcomings,” Acknowledges heart specialist Paul Thomas, in a recent medical journal. “The impact can be hard on your knees. Runners are more at risk during their training, particularly if they run marathons.However, the news for runners isn’t all bad. Evidence suggests in spite of its shortcomings, moderate amount of running exercise can actually result in a longer, improved life.” Dr.Dale Macdonald, a certified Strength and Conditioning specialist once summed up a discussion by saying, “As with all athletic endeavors, running comes with both great reward and inherent risk. More than 60% of runners will suffer an injury that causes them to take time off running—each year!” He also said that improving one’s balance can reduce the likelihood of injury. 吉姆Fixx曾是老烟枪,体重214磅当他于20世纪60年代运行。他很快就收获运行的好处。他的体重下降了60磅由他的书,运行完全书,出版时间。他的书启发了千百万人。在他的书和电视访谈节目,他赞美体育锻炼的好处,以及它如何大大增加了的人平均寿命。他的读者和观众变得更加健康意识。然而,他们的冲击,Fixx去世,享年52岁后,他的日常运行。许多谁反对他的信仰表示,这是证据,运行是有害的。然而,他的支持者透露,Fixx死亡的真正原因是心脏病发作。他出身于一个家庭中,男性的健康状况不佳的故事。他的父亲因在35岁以下心脏病发作和一人死亡,42。鉴于Fixx的不健康的生活方式,直到他拿起运行时,许多主张,运行增加了很多年,他的生命。
“运行确有其不足之处,”心脏病专家保罗托马斯承认,在最近的医学杂志。“这个影响可能很难在你的膝盖。参赛者更在训练过程中的风险,尤其是当他们跑马拉松。然而,对运动员的消息并不全是坏事。的证据表明,尽管它的缺点,适量的跑步锻炼实际上可以导致更长的时间,改善生活。“ Dr.Dale麦克唐纳,经过认证的强度和空调专家曾概括说,与所有的体育事业“的讨论,运行带有两个重大的报酬和内在风险。超过60%的运动员将受到伤害,导致他们采取休息时间磨合每年!“他还表示,改善人的平衡可以减少受伤的可能性。

Unit3 Hyde was founded in 1966 to provide education based on character development rather than academic achievement. It is a place where well-to-do families can send their children who have difficulty in other educational environments. Many students are there because their parents believe in the educational theory of character before performance. Although Hyde is typically categorized as a college preparatory school, the school regards its primary purpose as preparation for life. Hyde helps students learn, embrace, and adopt a character compass that will guide them for the rest of their lives. Emphasis is placed on performing arts and sports. Hyde believes that one needs to expose themselves to group and community interactions as part of the growth process. Competitive sports are played year round and have led to many championships. There are typical high school classes and academics. Many Advanced Placement courses are available and encouraged. Most students are accepted to four-year colleges and universities. There are “Group Discovery” sessions several times per week. Students are encouraged to counsel each other when they think another student’s actions or thoughts do not correspond to the school’s philosophy. These sessions focus on the individual students and their current issues and problems faced at the school. Students are encouraged to share intimate secrets, doubts and regrets about themselves and their families. These sessions are extended to parents. The purpose of these sessions is to involve the whole family into the Hyde community social structure. Truth is emphasized over harmony. Students who have difficulty with following the school rules are assigned to perform maintenance jobs and lawn care for the school. The practice is not solely punitive but also serves to illustrate that the transgressor has separated him/herself from the community by their actions. The idea behind it is to earn acceptance by the group, and work back into the trust of the community. 海德成立于1966年的基础上,提供个性发展的教育,而不是学业成绩。它是一个地方,富裕的家庭可以做送孩子谁在其他教育环境中的困难。许多学生都在那里,因为他们的父母面前表现的人格教育理论认为。
