双语新闻阅读与练习如何安全地使用跑步机？双语新闻While treadmills are among the most popular pieces of fitness equipment, they can be dangerous.尽管跑步机是最受欢迎的健身器材之一，但它们也具有风险性。More people are injured by treadmills than any other piece of exercise equipment, according to the US Consumer Product Safety Commission. More than 22,000 treadmill injuries resulted in hospital emergency room visits in 2019, a spokesperson for the federal agency told CNN.美国消费品安全委员会发言人告诉美国有线电视新闻网，因跑步机受伤的人数比任何其他健身器材都更多，2019年发生了2.2万例因跑步机受伤被送往医院急诊的病例。Typical injuries include slips, sprains and strains, but treadmills can also cause serious burns, concussions, broken bones and even death, although the latter is rare.典型的伤害包括滑倒、扭伤、拉伤，但跑步机也会导致严重烧伤、脑震荡、骨折甚至死亡，尽管后者比较罕见。Fortunately, its relatively easy to use a treadmill safely, experts said. First, make sure youre wearing well-fitting exercise clothing and sturdy shoes.专家称，幸运的是，安全使用跑步机是相对容易的。首先，要确保自己穿上合体的运动服和结实的鞋子。Before getting on the machine, warm up with stretches and range-of-motion exercises, said Clark Stevenson, owner of Treadmill Doctor, a treadmill repair company based in Memphis, Tenn. Then step onto the machine and securely attach the safety key to your shirt.总部在美国田纳西州孟菲斯市的跑步机修理公司“跑步机医生”的老板克拉克史蒂芬森指出，上跑步机前要先做几组拉伸和全范围关节运动来热身；上跑步机后要先把安全按钮牢牢固定在自己穿的T恤上。Neglecting to use the safety key is one of the top mistakes Stevenson said treadmill users make.费尔姆斯通表示：“在跑步机上和别人聊天也有安全隐患。我见过有人从跑步机尾部跌落，因为他们在跑步时看着另外一个方向，从而扰乱了本体感受。”Certified strength and conditioning specialist Kyle Firmstone has seen many problematic treadmill activities. Firmstone said you shouldnt walk too close to the console, jump off and on while the machine is still in motion, or set the treadmill to a speed faster than you can handle.他说，忽视对安全按钮的使用是跑步机用户最常犯的错误之一。“Talking to other people can be problematic, too,” Firmstone said. “Ive seen people fly off the end because they were looking in a different direction than they were running, which throws off your proprioception.”力量和调节认证专家凯尔费尔姆斯通见过很多使用跑步机的错误做法。费尔姆斯通指出，不能走得离控制台太近，也不能在跑带仍在移动的时候跳上跳下，或是给跑步机设定的速度超出自己的能力范围。When youre using a treadmill at home, make sure there is plenty of clearance behind the machine, Stevenson said. Should you happen to fall off, youll need a safe spot to land.他强调，在家使用跑步机时，要确保跑步机后面有充足的空间。万一从跑步机上摔下来，需要一个安全的着地空间。Maintaining the belt with a silicone lubricant according to the manufacturers recommendations and keeping the machine clean are also important, he said, and never use the treadmill when an unattended child or pet is in the room.与此同时，根据生产商的建议给跑带上润滑剂来保养并保持跑步机清洁，这也很重要。此外，当房间里有无人照看的孩子或宠物时，千万不要使用跑步机。No matter your age, dont overdo it if youre new to treadmill use. Your body will need time to acclimate to this new form of exercise.无论你年龄多大，只要你是跑步机新手，就必须量力而行。你的身体需要时间来适应这种新的健身方式。词汇积累1. sprain  n. 扭伤2. strain  n. 拉伤；扭伤3. concussion  n. 脑震荡4. sturdy  adj. 结实的；坚固的；坚定的；健壮的5. console  n. （机器、电子设备等的）控制台，操纵台，仪表板6. proprioception  n. 本体感觉；本体感受7. clearance  n. 间隙；间距8. silicone  n. 硅酮；聚硅氧烷9. lubricant  n. 润滑油；润滑剂10. acclimate  v. 适应；使适应新环境语法填空While treadmills are among the most popular pieces of fitness equipment, they can be dangerous.More people   1   (injure) by treadmills than any other piece of exercise equipment, according to the US Consumer Product Safety Commission.

As one of the most respected representatives of China's first generation of entrepreneurs since the country embarked on reform and opening-up in 1978, Zong's down-to-earth style and innovative spirit greatly impressed the public.中国领先的饮料制造商杭州娃哈哈集团的创始人兼董事长宗庆后于周日去世，享年79岁。作为自中国1978年改革开放以来最受尊敬的第一代企业家的代表之一，宗庆后的务实作风和创新精神给公众留下了深刻印象。Born in 1945 in Suqian, Jiangsu province, Zong took over a small grocery store at a school in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, in 1987, and worked as a distributor of soft drinks and popsicles for children. In 1989, he founded Hangzhou Wahaha Nutritional Food Factory, which became Hangzhou Wahaha Group two years later after the acquisition of a local canned food factory on the verge of bankruptcy. In 1996, Zong launched Wahaha AD calcium milk, which became a great hit with Chinese consumers. The company's products now cover more than 200 categories, including purified water, milk and yogurt drinks, carbonated drinks, fruit and vegetable juice, tea and coffee drinks, with its sales revenue reaching 51.2 billion yuan in 2022. It has nearly 30,000 employees and 81 production bases nationwide.宗庆后1945年出生于江苏宿迁，1987年，他接管了浙江杭州一所学校的一家小杂货店，从事儿童软饮料和冰棍经销。1989年，他创办了杭州娃哈哈营养食品厂，两年后收购了当地一家濒临破产的罐头食品厂，从而成为了杭州娃哈哈集团。1996年，宗庆后推出娃哈哈AD钙奶，深受中国消费者的欢迎。该集团的产品涵盖包括纯净水、牛奶及酸奶饮料、碳酸饮料、果蔬汁、茶和咖啡饮料等在内的2 00多个品类，其2022年销售收入达到了512亿元人民币。娃哈哈集团目前在全国有81个生产基地、3万名员工。As one of the most iconic figures in Chinese business history, Zong was ranked as the country's richest person in 2010, 2012 and 2013 by business magazine Forbes. However, Zong led a simple and thrifty life. He lived frugally, and it was common to see him dressed in a white shirt and black cloth shoes. He once said, "I am an ordinary person, but luckily I was born in such an era." He said that Chinese entrepreneurs should fulfill their social responsibilities, and create wealth for the people, adding that they should create more employment opportunities and participate in public welfare activities, contributing to the country's economic and social development.作为中国商业史上最具标志性的人物之一，宗庆后在2010年、2012年和2013年先后三次被商业杂志福布斯评为中国首富。但宗庆后却一直过着简朴节俭的生活。他生活节俭，经常能看到他穿着白衬衫和黑布鞋。他曾说过：“我是一个普通人，但幸运的是我出生在这样一个时代。”他表示，中国企业家要履行社会责任，为人民创造财富，并且应该创造更多就业机会，参与公益活动，为国家经济社会发展作出贡献。Core Vocabulary1. beverage /bevrd/ n.饮料2. representative /reprzenttv/ n.代表3. entrepreneurs /ntrprn(r)/ n.企业家4. embark on 从事，着手5. acquisition /ækwzn/ n.收购；获得6. launch /lnt/ v.发起，发动7. revenue /revnju/ n.收入，收益8. thrifty /rfti/ adj.节约的语法填空Zong Qinghou, 1 _ founder and chairman of Hangzhou Wahaha Group, China's leading beverage manufacturer, passed away on Sunday at the age of 79. 2 _ one of the most respected representatives of China's first generation of entrepreneurs since the country embarked on reform and opening-up in 1978, Zong's down-to-earth style and innovative spirit greatly impressed the public.Born in 1945 in Suqian, Jiangsu province, Zong took over a small grocery store at a school in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, in 1987, and worked as a distributor of soft drinks and popsicles for children.

Bloomberg, which reported the development, said employees working on Apple's EV will shift instead to a unit for AI. Apple declined to comment.苹果公司于日前叫停了其电动汽车项目。彭博社对此事的进展进行了报道，称从事苹果电动汽车项目的员工，将转向人工智能部门。苹果方面目前拒绝置评。The company launched Project Titan, as its car effort was known internally, a decade ago. That was when a wave of interest in self-driving vehicles swept through Silicon Valley. Reuters reported in 2020 that Apple was considering releasing a vehicle as soon as 2024 or 2025. But progress had been uneven even before the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the global automotive industry. High interest rates have soured consumer sentiment, prompting automakers to cut jobs and production. Even EV market leader Tesla has been paring back its investments.十年前，该公司推出了名为“泰坦计划”的汽车项目。当时，对自动驾驶汽车的兴趣浪潮席卷了整个硅谷。路透社在2020年曾报道称，苹果正考虑最早于2024年或2025年发布一款汽车。但即使在新冠肺炎大流行扰乱全球汽车行业之前，该项目的进展也并不顺利。高利率打击了消费者信心，促使汽车制造商裁员和减产。即使是电动汽车市场的领导者特斯拉也一直在削减投资。When the effort kicked off around 2014, the company imagined a fully autonomous vehicle. Over time, Apple scaled back those ambitions to semiautonomous, where the vehicle automates only some parts of the driving. With these strategic changes, leadership was also in near constant flux. Doug Field, a former Tesla executive, led the project between 2018 and 2021 before departing for Ford Motor. Kevin Lynch, who previously was responsible for the Apple Watch, had been leading Titan up until its cancellation.在2014年前后启动该项目时，苹果公司设想的是一款完全自动驾驶的汽车。随着时间的推移，该公司将这些雄心壮志缩减为半自动驾驶，即车辆仅实现部分自动驾驶。随着这些战略变化，领导层也几乎在不断变化。特斯拉（Tesla）前高管Doug Field在2018年至2021年间领导了该项目，随后离职去了福特（Ford）。此前负责Apple Watch的Kevin Lynch后来一直领导泰坦项目，直到该项目取消。Meanwhile, Apple has so far held back from any big moves in AI, in contrast to tech giants Alphabet and Microsoft, which have first-mover advantage in infusing the breakthrough tech into their products and tools.与此同时，苹果到目前为止还没有在人工智能领域采取任何重大举措，这与科技巨头Alphabet和微软形成了鲜明对比，这两家公司在将突破性技术注入其产品和工具方面具有先发优势。Core Vocabulary1. decline /dklan/ v.拒绝2. release /rlis/ v.发布；发行3. uneven /nivn/ adj.不平等的；不平均的4. prompt /prmpt/ v.促进5. ambition /æmbn/ n.野心；雄心6. strategic /strtidk/ adj.战略上的语法填空Apple has hit the brakes on its project to create an electric car.
