It reduces the risks of dying from all causes, including cancer and heart disease，according to the World Health Organization. But many people who work all week have little time for exercise. So, they might try to do something to increase their heart rates over the weekend - go for a long run, take a bike ride, hike in the mountains or do a chore around the house, such as gathering leaves, shoveling snow or digging a garden. We sometimes call people who exercise only on Saturdays and Sundays“weekend warriors.” But is it healthy to avoid exercise during the work-week and then try to fit it all in during the weekend? A new study suggests that, yes, it is healthy: Even weekend warriors may reduce their risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease. Australian researchers at the University of Sydney conducted the study. It took place over a nine-year period. During that time, the researchers looked at the self-reported exercise habits and health examinations of more than 63,000 adults in England and Scotland. Then they connected that information to mortality - or, death - records. The researchers found that people who exercised only one or two days a week improved their chances of living longer than people who did not exercise at all. Even those who are very overweight could extend their lives by exercising a couple of days per week. When pared to those who did not exercise at all, weekend warriors had an 18 percent lower risk of dying from cancer. As for cardiovascular disease, weekend warriors had a 40 percent lower risk of cardiovascular disease than inactive people, or so-called couch potatoes. Couch potatoes are people who dont exercise. The WHO suggests that the average adult get at least 150 minutes of exercise per week. However, if you are busy with work and family duties, exercise as much as you can. Research seems to show that even about “weekend warriors”?18. What do we know about “weekend warriors”? A. They are very lazy in work while hardworking at home.B.

It was the largest crowd ever for the areas popular clothing-swapping group.Daphne Steinberg was having a good day. “For anyone who knows Ann Taylor LOFT, Ann Taylor is a really good womens designer and I will totally wear this to work. So I love that, and I love that I can equip myself for work, have a good time in doing it, and not totally bankrupt(使破产）myself.”Sandy Van Dusen likes the idea that clothes are finding new homes instead of being thrown away. “Because it helps to keep the Earth green. Theres no point in my opinion in continuing to buy new clothes when we can reuse what are already here. Give them a new home- let someday else love what you used to love and no longer love.”Kim Pratt organized the clothes swap event in Springfield. She also organized a money- raising activity for the high schools debate team. It is one of several ways that her group gives to charitable causes. Another is by donating all of the “unswapped” clothing to shelters for victims of domestic violence.“I started doing this four years ago, and weve been doing it for four years, getting bigger and bigger each time we have a swap.”She used the social media website meetup. to help publicize the events. The website has helped her group grow from 30 members to 1,300. Ms. Pratt says most of the members respect the clothing swap rules. But she says petition for desirable fashion can be strong.“We have to tell people sometimes not to hover(徘徊）over the new people ing in with their clothing. As they put it out, some people tend to grab the stuff right out of their hands and it bees like a free-for-all. We try to avoid that as much as possible.”22.
