Runners need to move 15 per cent faster on a treadmill（跑步机）to burn the same number of calories as jogging outdoors, research reveals.
Researchers from Milan University analyzed the difference between running outdoors and on a treadmill in 15 physically fit males with an average age of 21. The participants completed a sprint（短距离快速跑） for 30 seconds followed by 30 seconds of recovery for a total of 15 minutes both outdoors and on a treadmill. Oxygen use and exercise intensity were measured after both types of running.
The findings were published in the journal of Applied Physiology, Nutrition and Metabolism. Results revealed that when on a treadmill, runners use significantly lower amounts of oxygen, suggesting less effort is required. Therefore runners must move 15 percent faster on a treadmill to burn the same amount of calories as exercising outdoors, the study stated. The study authors wrote, \15 per cent increase in running speed during a period of stopping and starting often in high intensity treadmill training session is the best possible solution to reaching the same physiological responses as an outdoor training session.
Although the study did not speculate why treadmill running appears to be needing less effort and energy, previous research suggests the moving belt of a treadmill moves joggers forward, causing them to move faster. Exercising indoors also means gym-goers do not have to fight with steep hills or wind resistance.
Michael Silverman, director of rehabilitation and wellness （康复科）at Northern Westchester Hospital in New York, said, “Outdoors, you are changing surfaces constantly, fighting the wind, and making quick and sudden starts and stops, which will lead to increased caloric burn.” Shake magazine reported. \while we don't recommend running in extreme temperatures, it is worth noting that your body burns extra
D. In the mid﹣1980s.
calories to regulate your body temperature,\ 24. Where can you find the specific findings of the study?. .

D . The intensity of running on the treadmill is more stable . 27 . What does the underlined word speculate mean ?

We were sitting in her classroom. giggling each other and talking about the latest information of the day. Mrs Virginia De View, whose physical appearance made her an easy target for snickers(窃笑)and cruel jokes among students, cleared her throat and asked us to be silent.
\Mrs. Virginia De View said smiling, \are going to discover our professions.” The class seemed to be greatly surprised. We were only 13 and 14 years old!

“You will have to do a research paper on your upcoming career. Each of you will have to interview someone in your field, plus give an oral report.

field was. This was true. But journalism did something to me; it was in my blood. For the past 12 years, I've had the most incredible and satisfying reporting career .
I get asked all the time: “How did you pick journalism?”
“Well, you see, there was this teacher...” I always start out. Virginia Deview will probably never know without her help, I would not have become a journalist and a writer. I wonder now how many other students benefited from that career project.
I believe that when people reflect back over their school days, there will be their very own Virginia De View. Perhaps you can thank her before it's too late.

Having your nose in a book might seem a little anti﹣social at times ﹣ but reading could actually make you a kinder, more considerate person, a study has found. Readers were more likely to act in a socially acceptable manner, while those who preferred watching television came across as less friendly and less understanding of others' views, researchers said.
123 participants in the study were quizzed on their preferences for books, TV and plays at Kingston
