WorldTheres nothing like getting out and getting some fresh air on a hike.No matter whether your idea of a hike isa leisure walk or climbing the highest mountain on Earth,weve got you covered.Below

first fitness magazine was published,a list probably followed soon after,ranking the bestfitness equipment.This tradition has continued,with the implied message:usethisand exercise willbe yours.And thats part of the problem,says Dr.Lieberman,a professor of Harvard University.There isnt one“best”anything to achieve fitness.Besides,people understand exercise is good for them.Knowledge about exercise stilldoesnt motivate.Before you can answer why,it helps to look at history.Before the Industrial Revolution,people fetched waterand walked up stairs because they had to.But then technology made life and work easier.Exercise has becomesomething that people have to carve out time for.“Its a fundamental instinct to avoid physical activity when itsneither necessary nor rewarding,”he says.It would seem like being healthy would qualify as necessary,but a doctors prescription to exercise“can makeit like taking cod liver oil,”Lieberman says.“Sometimes it works,but more often than not,it doesnt.And its stillcoming across as an order,and“not having a heart attack in five years is not an immediate reward,”says Dr.BethFrates,assistant professor at Harvard Medical School.People might not want to exercise because its never been enjoyable.Most of us probably have memories ofgym class,not being picked for a team,or being in a fitness center thats filled with in-shape people.The majoritydont feel excited.They feel that exercise isnt for them,but it can be.Coaching people in an empowering andmotivating way can work much better than ordering someone to exercise.It starts with an expanded definition ofwhat counts as exercise,and an injection of whats rarely used to describe exercise,but is certainly allowed:namely,fun.4.What does the underlined“this”in paragraph 1 refer

introduce the latest medical application.7.What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A.Exercise should be made more joyful.B.Its more fun to work out with others.C.We may encounter bad workout

damages.Current forecast modelscan only predict these storms 10 days in advance,atmost,and they cannot precisely predict how intense the storms will become.An international team of researchers has developed a model that analyzes nearly a quarter of Earths surfaceand atmosphere in order to better predict the conditions that birth typoons.“The target problem of this study is how to foretell the birth of typhoons,”said paper author Mingkui Li,associate professor in the Key Laboratory of Physical Oceanography in the Ocean University of China and the PilotNational Laboratory for Marine Science and Technology(QNLM).“We specifically address three aspects:thebeginning time,inner pressure and maximum wind speed.”The researchers also accounted for the influence of one variable(变量)on another,such as wind speed onsea surface temperature.This influence is well understood and accounted for in climate predictions and inweather forecasts,butithas not been fully applied in understanding how long-term climate affects day-to-dayweather,according to Li.“We aimed to provide insights on the time scale that can be used to forecast typhoons inadvance.”From their study,the researchers determined that a model with the ability to better understand therelationship between warm sea surface temperatures and weak wind movement conditions that favor typhoonformationcould improve typhoon predictability.“Our goal is to develop a 10 to 30-day prediction system that will lead to seamless(无缝的)weather-climatepredictions.”Shaoqing Zhang,paper author and professor in the Key Laboratory of Physical Oceanography,said.12.What is the problem with the present forecast system?A.It cannot foretell storms in advance.B.It is ineffective in accuracy and timeliness.C.It costs too much and causes
