26、 possible? Welcome to your future life!Technology will allow homes in the future to be “smart.” Household machines will communicate with each otherand with you. Your stove will tell you when your food is cooked and ready to eat. Refrigerators will suggest recipes (食谱)based on food items you already

However, a new stud
35、y shows that the drop in temperature is a good reason to run. In fact, researchers say, running in cold weather helps improve ones performance.Many people say running in the winter can be difficult. Two reasons are the low temperatures and bitter winds. Yet many runners might find it easier than run
36、ning in hot weather. That could be because lower temperatures reduce stress on the body. When you run in cold weather, your body loses less water than in warmer conditions. The body needs less water on a cold day than in warm weather. This information comes from sports scientists at St. Marys Univer
37、sity in London. John Brewer is a professor of applied sport science at St. Marys. For this study, he and other researchers put a group of people into a room they called an “environmental chamber”. The researchers then recreated summer and winter weather conditions in the room. The test subjects were
38、 asked to run 10,000 meters under both conditions. Brewer says he and his team recorded biological measurements of the runners. “Weve got a group of subjects into the environmental chamber, weve changed the conditions to recreate the summer or winter and weve got them to run a 10km under both of tho
39、se conditions and taken various measurements(测量)on each runner while theyve been completing 初三英语试卷第 7 页（共 9 页）their 10km.”They found that the runners lost water by around 30.38% more in those hotter conditions. Besides, Brewer says every movement runners make produces heat. He explains that one way
40、in which we lose heat is by sweating(出汗). He says the body also loses heat by transporting the blood to the surface of the skin. “That heat builds up in the body and can be really damaging unless you can lose that heat. And its much harder to lose heat when the environment is warm as well.” And they
41、 found how they felt their perception of heatwas around a third lower when they were running in cold conditions. The body does not have to work as hard to pump blood to the skins surface.Several websites note that the most important thing for people who run in cold conditions is to wear the right cl
42、othing. Keeping as dry as possible is the most important when exercising in low temperatures. So, if you are a runner, dont let winter weather keep you indoors. Simply get ready for the low temperatures and start running.30. According to the passage, John Brewer probably agrees that _.A. people shou
43、ld run 10,000 meters in winter B. running in winter is good for your heart C. people who run in winter like to wear thick clothing D. running in cold conditions is better than in warm31. The underlined word “subjects” in Paragraph 3 probably means _.A. students that are being discussed B. classes th
44、at you study at schoolC. people that are being tested D. runners that the artists paint32. What can we infer from the passage?A. Running can help us lose heat.B. Running in cold weather is beneficial to our body.C. The heat can damage our body.D. The body does not have to work to pump blood.33. What
45、 is the writers main purpose in writing this passage?A. To introduce a research on running by Brewer. B. To explain why running in winter is difficult for people.C.
