On a Saturday morning last November, I got up at 5 to be at the Armory track on 168th Street in Harlem, a neighborhood in Manhattan for the girls’4×2 relay race (接力赛).
I joined the team when I was a freshman at Abraham Lincoln High School. I hadn’t considered it until a girl came up to me and said, “You look like a good runner. Would you like to join the track team?” She thought I would make a good runner because she saw my legs and arms were built, but I was just naturally slim.
I was excited and surprised, “I don’t know. What do I have to do?”
“It is a lot of hard work and devotion. It’s not easy.”
She was right. My team had practice every day from 3:30 to 6 except for Fridays. When we didn’t have practice, I’d run on my own on the boardwalk. I got faster and focused. Track helped me get away from troubles. Arguments with my mom, problems with schoolwork, and dramas with the kids at school. I felt calm every time I ran.
I got to the Armory at 7. My team was already there. We gave each other hugs and high fives. When the officials called for the relay race, I went out to the starting line. Then the gun went off. As I pounded the track, I was focusing so much on myself. I started running away from my problems. I couldn’t see anyone or anything but the finish line. Everything else was just a blur. I fought to the finish line. I wasn’t only fighting against the other teams; I was also fighting to win my battle against my stress.
I could feel the wind blowing against my skin. I felt like I was flying. My stress disappeared. I came in second as I passed the baton (接力棒) to my teammate.

Leafy vegetables are widely considered to be a healthy and tasty food choice, and eating enough leafy greens supports overall health. Now “Dinosaur time” is a popular online trend (趋势) that is helping all kinds of people, from busy moms to picky kids, get the leafy greens their bodies need.
The trend originated with Amy Garrett, a former middle school science teacher and stay-at-home mom, who shared her unusual way to eat vegetables with her nearly 50,000 followers. In her videos, she eats leafy greens without preparing them or putting them in a salad. Instead, she eats them like a dinosaur, often with dinosaur-related music playing in the background.
Garrett’s videos are welcomed by those who want to eat more healthily but don’t always have the time to cut up and prepare their vegetables. In a video, Garrett explains that salads take a long time to make and eat. Rather than having a salad as a full meal, she uses “Dinosaur time” to add vegetables before her lunch.
It isn’t just adults getting inspired by “Dinosaur time”. Young children naturally enjoy pretending to be dinosaurs and parents are taking advantage of their little ones’ imaginations to encourage them to eat more healthily, using this fun trend. Alexis Chase, a mom of two, shared that after her 12-year-old saw her trying “Dinosaur time”, he said, “I believe I can eat those vegetables faster than you.” And she replied, “No, you can’t.” In this way, her family is encouraged to eat their vegetables.
While this trend is great, people who’re at risk of kidney stones (肾结石) should be careful, and those who’re on blood thinners should ask their doctors for advice before changing their diet. Eating vegetables is a time-tested way to get nutrients (营养物) fast.
8. What is the main purpose of “Dinosaur time”?
A. To promote vegetable sales. B. To teach dinosaur knowledge.
C. To attract social media followers. D. To help people eat greens more easily.
9. What is the advantage of “Dinosaur time” over salads?
A. It provides more nutrients. B. It costs less money.
C. It requires less time. D. It tastes better.
10. How does Alexis Chase encourage her child?
A. By creating competition. B. By setting examples.
C. By offering awards. D. By making rules.
11. What can be inferred about the “Dinosaur time” trend from the last paragraph?
A. It helps to treat diseases. B. It isn’t suitable for everyone.
C. It needs special preparation. D. It is well accepted globally.

Nowadays, many teenagers spend a great deal of time indoors, focusing on digital devices and schoolwork. As a result, they take little part in outdoor activities. However, outdoor activities are extremely important for teenagers’ physical and mental development.

Others are so busy with their studies that they have no time to go outside. To change this situation, parents and schools should encourage teenagers to step out of the room. Schools can organize more outdoor activities and sports meetings. Parents should spend more time doing outdoor activities with their children. Teenagers should also realize the importance of going outdoors and take action actively.

Is Fresh Air Really Good for You?
We all grew up hearing people tell us to “go out and get some fresh air.” 16 According to recent studies, the answer is a big YES, if the air quality in your camping area is good.
17 If the air you’re breathing is clean — which it would be if you’re away from the smog of cities — then the air is filled with life-giving, energizing oxygen. If you exercise out of doors, your body will learn to breathe more deeply, allowing even more oxygen to get to your muscles (肌肉) and your brain.
Recently, people have begun studying the connection between the natural world and healing (治愈). 18 In these places patients can go to be near nature during their recovery. It turns out that just looking at green, growing things can reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and put people into a better mood (情绪). Greenery is good for us. Hospital patients who see tree branches out their window are likely to recover at a faster rate than patients who see buildings or sky instead. 19 It gives us a great feeling of peace.
20 While the sun’s rays can age and harm our skin, they also give us beneficial Vitamin D. To make sure you get enough Vitamin D — but still protect your skin — put on sunscreen right as you head outside. It takes sunscreen about fifteen minutes to start working, and that’s plenty of time for your skin to absorb a day’s worth of Vitamin D.
A. Fresh air cleans our lungs.
B. So what are you waiting for?
C. Being in nature refreshes us.
D. Another side benefit of getting fresh air is sunlight.
E. But is fresh air really as good for you as your mother always said?
F. Just as importantly, we tend to associate air with health care.
G. All across the country, recovery centers have begun building Healing Gardens.

A MOTHER’S DAY SURPRISE
The twins were filled with excitement as they thought of the surprise they were planning for Mother’s Day. How pleased and proud Mother would be when they brought her breakfast in bed. They planned to make French toast and chicken porridge. They had watched their mother in the kitchen. There was nothing to it. Jenna and Jeff knew exactly what to do.
The big day came at last. The alarm rang at 6 a.m. The pair went down the stairs quietly to the kitchen. They decided to boil the porridge first. They put some rice into a pot of water and left it to boil while they made the French toast. Jeff broke two eggs into a plate and added in some milk. Jenna found the bread and put two slices into the egg mixture. Next, Jeff turned on the second stove burner to heat up the frying pan. Everything was going smoothly until Jeff started frying the bread. The pan was too hot and the bread turned black within seconds. Jenna threw the burnt piece into the sink and put in the other slice of bread. This time, she turned down the fire so it cooked nicely.
Then Jeff noticed steam shooting out of the pot and the lid starting to shake. The next minute, the porridge boiled over and put out the fire. Jenna panicked. Thankfully, Jeff stayed calm and turned off the gas quickly. But the stove was a mess now. Jenna told Jeff to clean it up so they could continue to cook the rest of the porridge. But Jeff’s hand touched the hot burner and he gave a cry of pain. Jenna made him put his hand in cold water. Then she caught the smell of burning. Oh dear! The piece of bread in the pan had turned black as well.
