12、youll never be hurt, sing like no one is listening, and live like its heaven on earh.” It seems like the perfect life philosophy and one Ive learned to apply to running over the year.But I didnt always feel this way.

14、t wanted to look like I fit in with this group.To be honest, I felt a certain satisfaction in believing that someone was watching. I really thought that other people cared about my performance. The best example of this was a combined, two-lap marathon in Florence, Italy. As I approached the finishin

15、g line, the crowd began to cheer. I was surprised. Here I was, thousands of miles from home, and the Italians were shouting for “IIPenguino.”About 20 yards from the finishing, the truth set in when the winner of the full marathon went past me as I was finishing the half-marathon. No one was cheering

16、 for me. No one probably even noticed that I was finishing. I couldnt help but smile at my own illusion of self-importance.Thats when I realized I had been running for every reason except the right one. I ran to make other people happy, ran to live up to their expectations. But no one was watching n

17、o one cared. So I decided I was going to run for mejust meand gained a new enjoyment from the sport I hadnt truly experienced yet.

It has lain there for more than a century,

30、its rest only occasionally disturbed when the rooms three key holders perform a coordinated opening ceremony to let technicians enter and clean this precious piece of metal.First, the cylinder is rubbed with a piece of soft, alcohol-soaked cloth. Then it is steamed with pure water. Finally, the 1kg

31、cylinder is returned, carefully, to its resting place.Such attention to a lump of metal is unusual, but has a purpose. The castle houses the International Bureau of Weights and Measures and that piece of shining, circular metal is its holiest relic. It is the defining mass (质量)against which all othe

32、r kilograms are measured. This is the international prototype, or standard, of the kilogram. The IPK, in short.Dozens of carefully weighted copies of the original have been made. They are stored around the world and used to standardise individual nations weights and measures systems.But the days of

33、the IPK, in its current form, are numbered. The International Bureau of Weights and Measures has decided to replace this single physical specimen with a more fundamental measurement based on electric current in order to define the mass of an object. The king of kilograms is about to be dethroned.“On

34、e key reason for doing this work is to provide international security,” says Bureau spokesman Paul Robinson. “If the castle burned down tomorrow and the kilogram was destroyed, we would have no reference left for the worlds metric weights system. There would be chaos. The current definition of the k

35、ilogram is the weight of that cylinder in Paris, after all.”Another major motivation for the replacement of the IPK is the growing need to be able to carry out more and more precise measurements. “Drug companies will soon be wanting to use ingredients that will have to be measured in terms of a few

36、millionths or even billionths of a gram,” says Robinson. “We need to be prepared to weigh substances with that kind of accuracy.”1、What do we know about the IPK from the first two paragraphs?AIts cared for with great devotion.BIts used in religious ceremonies.CIts beautifully designed and decorated.

When students started classes on Monday, they were zipping to an app on their tablets or laptops and bad instant

46、access to all 40 texts in the Stepinac curriculum (课程).Dennis Lauro, director of an information center which provides technical support to public schools in New York, said neither he nor his colleagues were aware of a similar digital effort in a public school setting. “This is the wave of the future

47、.” Lauro said. “Im not surprised that a private school would beat the public schools to it. They have the ability to just do it. There is so much politics involved in public schools, when it comes to a move like that, needing approval from boards and committees.”For Tom Collins, Stepinacs president,

48、 the commitment to digital source material was not so difficult a decision. In the past, students families had to spend up to $ 700 a year on textbooks. This year after the one-time purchase of a tablet or laptop families only need to pay $ 150. Using the digital library is almost as easy as opening

49、 a new book. A student can instantly lap into a digital book and open a map of Egypt or a speech by President John F. Kennedy. A teacher can show a page from a digital book on a whiteboard at the front of the class or send students a link to a particular math problem with notes added in.The first fe
