On both sides of the River Thames in London, big crowds wait for the start of a rowing race. Their eyes are focused on two boats from the two top universities in Britain.
The race is between two groups of eight rowers from Oxford and Cambridge. The rowers race for about 6. 8 kilometers on the river every year. Since 1836, the rowing eights have worn different shades of blue—Oxford wear dark blue and Cambridge light blue. As a result, the rowers are known as the Blues. To help their universities win the competition, they trained really hard. Their training timetable is strict: they usually train for six days a week for six months, to prepare for it.
The rowing tradition has a long history, nearly 200 years. The very first race took place in 1829, when a Cambridge student challenged (挑战) a school friend studying at Oxford. Ever since, the team who lost the previous year challenges the other team. Though there's little difference between the two universities, Cambridge is in the lead with 84 wins, while Oxford 80 wins.
There have been some interesting events over the centuries. In 1877, and the only time so far, both boats crossed the line at the exact same time. It's been the only draw in its history. In the 1912 race, weather conditions were poor. Strong winds blew during the race, and surely enough, both boats sank (沉默)! And in 2012, the race was stopped after a student entered the water and swam towards the boats. He was against the war. And April 11, 2015 made history. It was the first time that the men's teams and women's teams raced at the same place and on the same day.
Most people think using mobile phones for too long is harmful to people's health. Not only does it do harm to the eyesight of mobile phone users, but also it makes them feel pain in their necks. Recently, a research by a phone company in the UK has found something new.
One of the trends (趋势) researchers have found recently is in the thumb (拇指) size of mobile phone users. According to the research of 2, 000 mobile phone users, the sizes of the thumbs of people who spend a lot of time on his or her mobile phone could be 15% larger than the others'. This trend is most often seen in users aged 18-34, and one in eight people have a larger thumb as a result of often using the touch screen smart phones. Not only that, some of these mobile phone users say their little fingers are a little curved (弯曲的) for the same reason.
The same research also shows the average (平均的) time each person spends on his or her mobile phone is two hours a day. 19% of the mobile phone. users say they can't live without a smart phone even. if only for a day. "When these people swipe (滑动) the screen, the muscles (肌肉) of the their thumbs are used a lot for a long time, so that the thumb muscles become stronger. That's why the thumb becomes increasingly bigger, " explained the hand therapist (治疗师) Nicola Goldsmith.
The research doesn't say whether this finding is alarming (令人担忧的). However, the famous doctor Jordan Green said, "The use of mobile phones for a long time without stopping can cause great harm to your muscles and bring you great pain and even illness in the hand." "It's not easy to separate people from mobile phones. Thus, taking a regular (有规律的) rest while using the mobile phones is a good way to protect the thumbs." he added.
It was a sunny April morning. Emma stared (凝视着) sadly out of the window of school Trip the bus. Only 50 miles outside town was the farm. She thought about the farm all the time, especially by her animal friends.
When her family sold the farm and moved to nearby town, Emma was excited. However, when she got to the new school, she felt very lonely.
With a sigh (叹气), Emma turned her attention back to her first school trip. At present the bus came to a stop.
"Welcome to the Leinweber Nature Center, "her teacher said. "A guide will give us a presentation about animals, and then you'll help to feed the baby squirrels. Now, I want everyone to find a partner. "
Emma didn't have any friends yet — who would be her partner? Emma got close to Julia, a talkative and outgoing girl. "Could I be your partner?" Emma asked uncertainly.
•"Sure, "said Julia warmly.
Together, the girls walked into the center. After the presentation, a keeper showed them how to hold the bottle of milk for baby squirrels. Then the girls started to feed their own baby squirrels.
After the babies finished eating, the keeper asked, "Would you like to help feed the adult squirrels, too?"
Emma was quick to volunteer, but when the keeper opened the first cage, the squirrel inside jumped out. Emma remained calm, held out her hand, made quiet sounds, and then quickly got it.
"Wow!" Julia said. "You're always so quiet. I thought you were afraid of everything, but you were courageous (勇敢的). "
"I know that when animals are frightened or excited, you have to stay calm."
The keeper nodded in agreement and asked Emma, "Would you be interested in volunteering to help out with the animals at the center?"
"Interested? I would love to work here! What an opportunity! "Emma was excited.
That afternoon, in the bus on the way back to school, Emma sat next to Julia, her new friend. A rush of new-found happiness washed over her.
