Many previus studies have indicated that frequent walking was assciated with a lwer risk f develping type 2 diabetes (糖尿病) in the general ppulatin, in a way that thse with mre time spent walking per day were at a lwer risk. But their findings haven’t ffered much guidance n the best habitual walking speed needed t lwer diabetes risk.
A new study’s authrs reviewed 10 previus studies cnducted between 1999 and 2022, which assessed (评估) the links between walking speed and the develpment f type 2 diabetes amng adults frm the United States, the United Kingdm and Japan. After a fllw-up perid f eight years n average, cmpared with thse wh tk easy r casual (休闲的) walking(less than 2 miles per hur), thse wh walked at an average r nrmal pace (2 t 3 miles per hur)had a 15% lwer risk f develping type 2 diabetes, the researchers fund. Walking at a “fairly quick” pace (3 t 4 miles per hur)meant a 24% lwer risk than thse wh easily r casually walked. And quick walking(mre than 4 miles per hur)had the biggest benefit: a 39%reductin in risk.
The verall message is that walking is an imprtant way t imprve yur health. It may be true that walking faster is even better. But given the fact that mst Americans d nt get sufficient walking in the first place, it is mst imprtant t encurage peple t walk mre as they’re able t.
If yu want t challenge yurself, hwever, using a fitness tracker—via a watch r smartphne app—can help yu measure and maintain yur walking pace, experts said. If yu can’t get a fitness tracker, an easy alternative fr tracking exercise intensity (强度) is the US Centers fr Disease Cntrl and Preventin’s “talk test”, which relies n understanding hw physical activity affects heart rate and breathing. If, while walking, yu’re able t talk in a labred vice but nt sing, yur pace is prbably quick.
8. Hw did the researchers get the new findings?
A. By studying frmer research.B. By interviewing vlunteers.
C. By carrying ut an experiment.D. By cnducting an nline survey.
9. Which type f walking is the best fr reducing diabetes risk?
A. Easy walking.B. Quick walking.
C. Average walking.D. Casual walking.
10. What matters mst t Americans in diabetes preventin?
A. Buying a fitness tracker.B. Aviding eating t much.
C. Fllwing the “talk test” rule.D. Walking as much as pssible.
11. What is the best title fr the text?
A. Walking: the Secret t Physical Health
B. Walking: the End f Diabetic Patients’ Wrries
C. Walking: a Simple Way t Reduce Diabetes Risk
D. Walking: an Effective Treatment fr Diabetes

Fr mre than 50 years, seawater has flwed thrugh the Hng Kng’s tilets. And in 2013, Hng Kng built a system that used seawater t cl part f the city. The system sends cld seawater t a factry with heat exchangers. The seawater takes in heat t cl pipes full f circulating (循环的) water. That cled water then flws int buildings t cl rms. The slightly warmed seawater is sent back t the cean. Knwn as district cling, this type f system tends t use far less energy than typical air cnditiners.
Hw much water and energy had this strategy saved Hng Kng? And why weren’t ther castal cities ding this? A team at the Hng Kng University f Science and Technlgy set ut fr answers. They fcused n Hng Kng and tw ther big castal cities: Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and Miami, Fla. The idea was t see what it might lk like if all three adpted city-wide saltwater systems.
All three places wuld save lts f fresh water and energy, the researchers fund. These savings came frm the mre efficient saltwater air cnditining. Thugh cstly t build, saltwater-cling systems culd pay ff in the lng run fr many cities.
The researchers figured ut hw emissins (排放) f greenhuse gases wuld drp if each city instead used seawater fr cling and flushing (冲刷). Next, they studied hw much pllutin wuld be created t build the new system. They cmpared these results t see hw emissins f climate-warming gases wuld change fr each city.
Hng Kng wuld see the biggest cut in greenhuse gases if the system were expanded t the whle city. It culd drp by sme 250,000 tns each year. Miami culd see a drp f arund 7,700 tns f carbn pllutin per year. Saltwater cling wuld cause mre planet-warming gases in Jeddah than it wuld save. The reasn: Jeddah’s unplanned urban expansin and all the pipes that wuld be needed t service it. The pllutin cming frm building such a large system wuld be higher than what the system wuld save.
12. What can seawater d in Hng Kng’s district cling system?
A. It is used t flush all f the tilets.B. It runs int buildings t cl rms.
C. It circulates in pipes t warm the air.D. It absrbs heat t cl the water in pipes.
13. What was the main purpse f the research?
A. T test if saltwater-cling systems are fit fr all castal cities.
B. T find ways t build mre efficient saltwater-cling systems.
C. T ppularize Hng Kng’s energy reductin measures.
D. T apply Hng Kng’s experience t Jeddah and Miami.
14. What are the researchers’ attitude t building a saltwater-cling system in Jeddah?
A. Supprtive.B. Unclear.
C. Mixed.D. Oppsed.
15. What can we knw abut saltwater-cling systems fr different cities?
A. Kill tw birds with ne stne.B. There is n ne-size-fits-all way.
C. Tw wrngs dn’t make a right.D. One man’s fault is anther man’s lessn.

I went t bed at arund 2 ’clck in the mrning, but fr sme reasn I wke up a minute r s befre the quake started.

【答案】
The terrible shaking eventually stpped. I culd finally walk t ur children’s rm. My wife had been standing ver them during the strngest part f the earthquake, making sure nthing fell n them. After such a big earthquake, we expected the “smaller” aftershcks t be still very strng. There was still a chance that the building culd cllapse. S we decided t grab sme essentials, especially the flashlight, and get the kids ut f the building as quickly as pssible.
Once we were ready, we wke the kids up. Carrying sme basic things, we began t walk nervusly and carefully dwn the emergency stairs. Thanks t the flashlight, we went dwn all 22 flrs f the stairs withut tripping. Alng the way, I prayed that the earthquake wuld nt happen again. When we finally arrived at the grund flr, I was relieved. Many ther peple had already arrived, sme in pajamas, sme half-dressed. The gd news was that everyne gt ut f the building safe and sund.
