Its this strange form that makesrace walking such an attractive activity, however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistant professor ofexercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass.Like running, race walking is physically demanding, she says.According
14、 to most calculations,race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burnabout 800 calories(卡路里) perhour, which is approximately twice as many as they would burn walking, although fewer thanrunning, which would probably burn about 1，000 or more calories per hour.However, race walking does
15、 not pound the body as much as running does, Dr. Norberg says.According to her research, runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight perstep, while race walkers, who do not leave the ground, create only about 1.4 times their bodyweight with each step.As a result, she says, so

A better understanding of the spiders leaps wouldhelp experts develop more efficient flying and jumping robots.The scientists found that Kim could gather enough force in her legs to jump
22、more than sixtimes the length of her own body from a stationary position. What was even more amazing wasthat she always landed perfectly. For shorter distances, Kim used a lot of energy, resulting in quickleaps, which the researchers believe probably increases her chances of catching fastmoving prey
23、.The farther the distance was, the less extra energy was used, resulting in slower but precise leaps.Previous studies have indicated that spiders use both their muscles and hydraulic(液压的)pressurea mechanism by which blood is transferred to their extended legsto push them off theground. However， in K

50、故填 causes。8strengthen句意：为了避免膝盖疼痛，你可以在柔软的地面上跑步、锻炼以增强你的腿部肌肉。设空处作目的状语，需用不定式形式，故在不定式符号 to 后填动词原形strengthen。9energetic设空处作表语，表示主语的特征，故填形容词 energetic。10it/running句意：如果你时间不充裕，你只需要花费其他运动一半的时间去跑步便可获得同样的收益，因此或许我们都应该试一试跑步。设空处作 give 的宾语，需填名词或代词，因此用 it 代替上文中的 running 或直接填 running 作宾语。.应用文写作参考范文：Dear John，Im sorr
