Winter running is the best way to lose winter weight. But before heading out, make sure you have a solid plan. You don’t want to come across accident along the way. 1.

Wear the Right Shoes

The right shoes will depend on the road. You should wear shoes that are made for the kind of surface you run on. For example, if you are running on slippery surfaces, you want shoes with great friction(摩擦力). 2. When trying out a pair of running shoes, check the fit, feel and ride of the shoes. These elements（要素）are important once you take your new shoes out for a run.

Warm Up

Warm-up is an important part to keep fit. Especially if temperatures drop and your muscles are stiff(僵硬的) from the cold! 3. It also prepares the muscles for the intense (激烈的) activity ahead. The cold climate won’t feel as cold when you do warm ups. This is because blood flows much faster after a good warm up!

Deal with Wind

4. The key is to run into the wind and finish by running against it . This keeps icy wind from blasting(用力撞擊) your face. To prevent any injuries or accidents, break your run into small parts. 5.You can use certain creams on the nose and cheeks to prevent frostbite(凍瘡).Don’t skip your sun-block if you’re running during the day. UVB(紫外線(xiàn)) passes through the clouds. Running for an extended period on a cloudy day will still damage the skin!

A. Don’t run in the wind

B. Running makes you warm

C. Warming up prevents injuries

D. It’s hard to run if it’s too windy

E. Your shoes should fit very well so you don’t slip

A

Insects (昆蟲(chóng)) are a very healthy food. They have almost as much protein (蛋白質(zhì)) as meat from a pig or cow and are low in fat. Eating insects is also very good for the environment since they need less land and water than larger animals.

Marcel Dicke, who studies insects, explained in a talk how insects also produce more meat from the food they eat. For example, imagine a farmer feeds a cow 10 pounds of food. Those 10 pounds of food produce about 1 pound of meat for people to eat. However, imagine the farmer gives a certain number of insects 10 pounds of food. Those 10 pounds of food produce 9 pounds of meat for people to eat!

Eating more insects can also help people in poor areas. Many people can raise and sell insects, which can provide jobs and food.

But insects will not replace (替代) animal meat very quickly. First, people in some countries would have to change how they think about eating insects. Many people in North America and Europe eat a lot of meat like beef and pork. But they do not traditionally eat insects. In fact, for many people in the west, eating insects sounds crazy! They believe insects are dirty and dangerous. Insects make them feel uncomfortable.

Some people are trying to deal with this problem. For example, David George Gordon wrote a book named “The Eat-A-Bug Cookbook”, which tries to show people that insects can be delicious. Other insect experts travel around telling people about the benefits (好處) of eating insects. But they still have a lot of work to do.

1.Eating insects _____.

A. is not healthy

B. makes people put on fat

C. helps protect large animals

D. is environmentally friendly

2.The example of Marcel Dicke is given to show _____.

A. the high cost of food production

B. it’s quite easy for farmers to raise insects

C. raising insects is a good choice for farmers

D. the different ways of feeding cows and insects

3.The long way eating insects has to go mainly results from _____.

A. their terrible taste B. people’s old beliefs

C. family traditions D. eating methods

4.We can infer from David and other insect experts that _____.

A. people can make a lot of money from insects

B. insects should be better protected

C. people should eat more insects

D. it’s dangerous to eat insects
