Unit 2

Jim Fixx had been a heavyJim Fixx had been a heavyJim Fixx had been a heavyJim Fixx had been
a heavy smoker and weighed 214 pounds when he
took up
running in the 1960s. He soon
reaped
the benefits from running. His weight decreased
by
60 pounds by the time his book, The Complete
Book
Of
Running,
was
published.
His
book
inspired
millions
of
people.
In
his
book
and
on
television
talk
shows,
he
extolled
the
benefits
of
physical
exercise
and
how
it
considerably
increased
the
average
people
’
s
life
expectancy.
His
readers
and
audience
became
more
health-conscious. However ,
to
their shock, Fixx died at the age of 52 after his daily run. Many
who opposed his beliefs said this was
evidence
that running was harmful. However, his supporters
revealed

that the real cause of Fixx
’
s death was a heart attack. He came from a family where
men had poor health stories. His father
suffered
a heart attack at the age of 35 and died of one at
42.
Given

Fixx
’
s unhealthy lifestyle until he took up running, many argued that running added
many years to his life.

“
Running does have its shortcomings,
”
acknowledges
heart specialist Paul Thomas, in a recent
medical
journal.
“
The
impact
can be hard on your knees. Runners are more at risk during their
training,
particularly
if they run marathons.
However
, the news for runners isn
’
t all bad. Evidence
suggests in spite of its shortcomings,
moderate
amount of running exercise can actually
result in

a longer, improved life.
”


Macdonald, a certified Strength and Conditioning specialist once
summed up
a discussion
by saying,
“
As with
all athletic endeavors, running comes with both great
reward

and inherent
risk. More than 60% of runners will suffer an injury that causes them to take time off running
—
each year!
”

He also said that improving one
’
s balance can reduce the
likelihood
of injury.

Hyde
was
founded
in
1966
to
provide
education based Hyde was founded in 1966 to provide education based Hyde was founded in 1966
to
provide
education
based
on
character
development
rather
than
academic
achievement.
It
is
a
place where well-to-do families can send their children who have difficulty
in other educational
environments. Many students are there
because
their parents believe
in the educational theory of
character
before
performance.




Although
Hyde
is

typically
categorized
as
a
college
preparatory
school,
the
school
regards
its
primary
purpose as preparation for life. Hyde helps students learn, embrace, and
adopt
a character
compass that will guide them for the rest of their lives.


Emphasis
is
placed
on
performing
arts
and
sports.
Hyde
believes
that
one
needs
to
expose
themselves to group and community interactions as part of the growth process. Competitive sports
are played year round and have
led to
many championships. There are typical high school classes
and academics. Many Advanced Placement courses are
available
and encouraged. Most students
are accepted to four-year colleges and universities.




There
are
“
Group
Discovery
”

sessions
several
times
per
week.
Students
are
encouraged
to
counsel
each other when they think another student
’
s actions or thoughts do not correspond
to
the
school
’
s philosophy. These sessions

focus on


the individual students and their current issues
and problems faced at the school. Students are encouraged to
share
intimate secrets, doubts and
regrets about themselves and their families. These sessions are
extended
to parents. The purpose
of these sessions is to i
nvolve
the whole family into the Hyde community social structure.




Truth is emphasized
over
harmony. Students who have difficulty with following the school rules
are
assigned
to perform maintenance jobs and lawn care for the school. The practice is not solely
punitive
but
also
serves
to
illustrate
that
the
transgressor
has
separated
him/herself
from
the
community by their actions. The idea behind it is to
earn
acceptance by the group, and work back
into the trust of the community.

When Henry Ford announced he was going to produceWhen Henry Ford announced he was going
to produceWhen Henry Ford announced he was going to produceWhen Henry Ford announced he
was
going
to
produce
an
automobile
that
would
be
affordable
to
the
general
population,
he
probably did not realize what a
great
impact
（作用）
his achievement would have on life in the
United States and,
eventually
,the world. Ford
’
s use of mass production
strategies
to manufacture
the Model T started a new era in personal transportation.
As a result,
roads were built for the sake
of cars and the greater
mobility
of people. With cars and the roads, having a business of one
’
s
own became a lot more
feasible
. Every type of business sprung up. Customers could easily get to
the
stores
no
matter where


they were
in
town,
provided


there was
a
road,
so
businesses
no
longer
had to be located at a town
’
s center.




And
what
about
the
family
vacation
？

Families
packed

into
their
cars
and
drove
across
the
country
to
explore

the
new
frontier,
stopping
at
every
possible
roadside
attraction

on
the way.
There was
no
limit
to
where
you could
go
and what
you
could see.
The
car
offered
a sense
of
independence
and,
as
Americans
particularly
hated
to
be
restricted
,
they
fell
in
love
with
the
automobile
instantly
.
On average
, each American household owns two or more cars. As the world
gets more complicated, driving cars around helps people
cope with
the demands of modern life.





If
you
ask
people
what
qualities
define

Americans,
they
will
probably
say
that
the
two
dominating
characteristics of an American are inventiveness and independence. America is truly
the land of cars and car culture.

Age sixty is usually considered the

psychological
physical cause of decline

a change
in
the
body cells

to
the
effects

psychological
cause
of

to do with
unfavorable attitudes toward oneself ,other people,work and life

Due
to
the
unfavorable
social
attitudes
toward
the

other cultures ,makes them feel
no longer

treat

people
with
more
consideration
and respect.

In fact,old people are a treasure of experience to is expected that old people will play an
increasingly
active role in social and community affairs
as well as
in the business and professional

reduction
in the number of roles the elderly are able to play,it is
very likely
