Dear Jack
I just moved to the Midwest from Florida,and I'm determined to keep running outdoors.I've
figured out the clothes for my body but still struggle to keep my hands warm on long runs.Do you
have any magic method to share?Thank you!
Jeff
Dear Jeff,
Although running outside in the Windy City in the dead of winter may draw looks of concem
from your new friends,it truly can be a magical experience.I've had the chance to test out many
glove combinations in my twenty-two running winters,and here are a few options that have
worked well for me.
For runs that are at 32F(0C)and warmer,many runners including myself keep their hands
with warm traditional running gloves like Agloves,or if you're on a tight budget,a cheap pair of
stretchy synthetic(有弾性的合成的)gloves you can find at your local store.
If the wind reaches 32F and colder,your extremities are at more risk of getting cold,
Www00N-会ww
especially because you're moving your hands back and forth cutting through the wind.In his case,
go with a warmer,thicker glove like the Brooks Vapor Dry,Mountain Harwear.
In the event of extreme weather,a layering (system will work well.The great thing
about this is that you can mix and match with various weights of gloves to see what works for you.
You might start with a wool glove liner (to absorb the wet and cover with thick wool to
block the wind,keep you dry,and create a layer of warm air between the two gloves.Lightweight
焙
and thick wool gloves with layers might meet your demands for gloves in much lower
temperatures in winter.
For those who have bad circulation or enjoy super warm,add a heated hand warmer packet in
your glove and your running partners will wonder what you're smiling about.It's funny how a
little luxury like heated hand warmers can make your day (or your long run).I used these and a
ThermaCare back warmer when I raced the Antarctica Marathon.It was 40 mph winds and snow
was over my head.But my hands were smiling the entire time!

an example of a family that came together to make a difference-for themselves as much as the
people they were trying to help.I recently spoke with Kevin Salwen about the project.
A column a week ago described neurological(抻经学的)evidence from brain scans(扫描)
that unselfishness lights up parts of the brain normally associated with more primary satisfaction.
The Salwens'experience confirms the selfish pleasures of selflessncss.
Mr.Salwen and his wife,Joan,had always assumed that their kids would be better off in a
bigger house.But after they downsized,there was much less space to retreat to,so the family
members spent more time around each other.A smaller house unexpectedly turned out to be a
more family-friendly house.
56.What does the underlined word "inequity"most probably mean in Paragraph 3?

57.What is suggested in the underlined sentence"Warning!Never suggest a grand gesture to an
idealistic teenager."in Paragraph 5?
A.Never advise an idealistic child to make a grand gesture.
B.Unless a girl is realistic,never give any promise.
C.Give an immediate answer if the child is reasonable
D.Don't respond to a child's demands without consideration.
58.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A.The Salwens donated a lot to charity though they weren't rich.
B.Unselfishness comes from people's primary satisfaction.
C.Hannah's parents sold their house at Hannah's request.
D.The writer's children asked him to sell the house.
59.What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.The Salwens regretted selling their house.
B.The family members got much closer.
C.People living in small houses are happy.
D.The Salwens intend to buy another big house.

Q
We all k如ow a picky eater(挑食者)or two,or maybe you're the picky eater,avoiding food
adventures at all costs,because you're convinced you'll hate whatever new and bad-looking food

an example of a family that came together to make a difference-for themselves as much as the
people they were trying to help.I recently spoke with Kevin Salwen about the project.
A column a week ago described neurological(抻经学的)evidence from brain scans(扫描)
that unselfishness lights up parts of the brain normally associated with more primary satisfaction.
The Salwens'experience confirms the selfish pleasures of selflessncss.
Mr.Salwen and his wife,Joan,had always assumed that their kids would be better off in a
bigger house.But after they downsized,there was much less space to retreat to,so the family
members spent more time around each other.A smaller house unexpectedly turned out to be a

Marcia Pelchat,Ph.D.,says,"A group in Finland studied what we call food neophobia,which

means 'fear of the new,'and they found that there's some genetic basis for this."
But neophobia can be greatly influenced by your surroundings,too."If you have parcnts
who don't really like to try anything new,you'll also be exposed to fewer new foods."
People who are less advcuturous may be more hesitant to try ncw foods,as trying
anything new,food included,requires you to step outside of your comfort zonc."There's a
thrill-seeking personality trait,"Pelchat says."It's been shown,espccially with spicy food,
that there's some connection between trying new foods and thrill seeking,"shc cxplains.
Most adult picky eaters start as child picky eaters."It'g normal for children to go through
a picky stage when they're very young,and that makes sense cvolutionarily,"Pelchat says.
When our primitive ancestors first tried new foods,they had to be cautious to avoid bcing
poisoned.But as we get older,if we continue to avoid new foods,pickiness can rcmain.
For those who are simply picky,certain social situations can causc anxiety."Aduit picky
eaters have trouble going to business lunches or someone's house for the weekend,"Pelchat
adds
Your taste can change over time,but to even have a try at being less picky,you have to
be committed."The most common reason for wanting to change is social,"Pelchat says.
Expanding your eating horizons can make everything from a date to a vacation easier and
more enjoyable.

The word tolerance is widely used in liberal democracies(自由民主制.It indicates a

positive meaning.Politicians urge us to be tolerant towards minoritics.Educators teach us to
be tolerant towards the other.The press is full of references to the need for tolerance when
faced with individuals or groups displaying (a different view or holding a different
religious belief.A tolerant society is an objective sougbt after by anyone who believes in the
values of democracy.A tolerant individual is attributed with virtuous(有道德的)qualities
The question we must ask is whether we have becn using the word tolerance fully aware
of its meaning and whether we have applied it correctly to reflect what we really wish to
convey.
The word tolerance means to bcar,or to bear with.If I tolerate something or someone,I
海
basically say that I am ready to bear it or him.I can tolerate a bad smell or a noisy neighbour.
The act of tolerance forces me to desist from conveying my objection to the existence of a
phenomenon,which I fiud difficult to bear.A bad smell or a noisy neighbour is considered by
me to be an objectionable(令人不快的,反感的)phenomenon.By tolerating cither of them,I
am not transforming the bad smell or the noisy neighbour into a positive phenomenon.Let's
be honest;I don't have a different taste when it comes to bad smells.I simply dislike it and
wish it disappears.I don't simplify the noisy neighbour.I would rather have him stop at once
the ncise he is making so I can live in peace.
To try to remove the bad smell or take reasonable action in order for the noisy neighbour
to stop bothering me would most probably not be considered an intolerant act by most people.
Now,let's try to apply the word tolerance in reference to a person who is law-abiding(

and holds a legally acceptable view,which is opposed to my own.I quite frankly,I may
decide to tolerate his view.By so doing,I would be attributing to it a negative characteristic.I
would apply the same attitude to his view as to the bad smell or noisy neighbour.Thus,to try
to take action in order to make his view disappear would be considered an intolerant act.To
tolerate his view the way I would a bad smell or a noisy neighbour,could hardly be
:
considered virtuous.
:
The subject tolerating is by nature not equal to the object being tolerated.If I tolerate you,
I essentially say that I am above you and am prepared,although unwillingly,to bear with your
presence or with your practices or opinions.That may be true in the case of an individual who
is ready to tolerate the other.However,this attitude by such an individual,though

empirically(经验主义地)tnue,is hardly a virtue.Certainly,,the fact that an individual in

reality,may merely tolerate the other or his opinion does not justify a government or any

official authority promoting tolerance as a virtue.One cannot tolerate an equal being.True
equality involves respect,not tolerance.To respect the other as a distinctive person is hardly
to tolerate him.This is the true meaning of social equality:diversity existing in a
mutually-respectful society.
The danger with tolerance is that it can lead to the acceptance of individuals or groups
bent on destroying the foundations of democratic systems.We have seen such cases with
