Jogging is basically running at a steady speed over short or long distances. It has become popular some twenty years and remained a favorite way of keeping fit for lots of people．

   One of the main advantages of jogging over many other sports is that it can be done anywhere．People jog around college campuses，in parks，in the countryside and even in urban areas．Special courts，fields and running tracks are not necessary．Similarly, no special equipment is required―no costly hats，or balls，and no expensive sports kit．Good quality running shoes are advisable，but otherwise the jogger can simply wear loose，comfortable clothing．Special jogging suits are widely available these days and can be bought quite cheaply but these are not necessary．

    In addition to being able to jog anywhere，you can also jog at any time，in any season! It’s not unusual to see joggers exercising in the height of summer or in the depth of winter! Jogging is a solo sport．You don’t need to wait until you have gathered a team or found a partner．You can jog alone. A few words of warning，however: lone female joggers should be especially careful to choose sensible jogging routes，particularly at night time.

    The act of jogging doesn’t require any special training or skill．You do need to be basically healthy but then，after a few basic warm-up bends and stretches，you are ready to begin. You simply start running，gently，and then build up to a steady pace．Do not overtire yourself by trying to go too fast．A steady, comfortable pace is your aim．

    Jogging is excellent for keeping fit．It’s good for the lungs，the heart and the circulation．It’s easy and it’s convenient．Why don’t you try it? If you require more information，talk to one of the instructors at the sports centre．We are only too happy to help．Please remember：if you do decide to jog．talk to your doctor first if you have any health worries．Happy jogging!

    Education in the United States is compulsory(義務(wù)的) for children up to about the age of sixteen．Most young people stay in school longer than that. Most graduate from high school at the age of 17 or 18.

    Almost half of these high school graduates continue their education at a college or university．Education for most young people in this country is free up to the time they graduate from high school．There are private schools, but most parents send their children to public schools, where students do not pay tuition(學(xué)費). When young people go to college, however，they must pay tuition at a public university or a private university．University costs are going up a lot：private universities have become very expensive because the government does not help them．

    Who pays? The parents of children in college may have to pay more，or often the students may have to find jobs．These students have to worry about assignments and grades and also about their jobs．If they work too much at their jobs they may be absent from class or miss assignments or make too many errors on tests．They may even fail their courses and have to leave the university．

    For many students, the problem of getting an education is not just a problem of homework and exams．They also have to make money to pay for tuition．And professors don’t teach them how to do that!
