A Simple Lesson

“Another bad day at school？” my father asked as I came into the room.

“How could you tell? I didn't shut the door heavily or anything，” I replied. Over the past two months I had either done this or thrown my backpack across the room every time I came home from school. Papa thinks it has something to do with moving to a new house.

“I know this move has been hard on you. Leaving your friends and cousins behind is tough，” Papa said, as he put his arm around my shoulder. “What you must remember is that, with a lot of hard work and some time, you will make new friends.”

“You don't know how hard it is. This year my baseball team would have won the championship. They won't even give me a chance to pitch (投球) here. All I get to play is right field, and that's the worst！”

Papa turned toward me. “Things will get better, I promise you. Let me ask you, do you know why you were named David Lorenzo？”

“Yes, your name is David and grandfather's name is Lorenzo.”

“Very good, and what makes your grandfather so important？”

“He was the first in the family to come to this country and all that，” I answered.

“That is only partly correct. Your grandfather was a very great man. In Mexico, he had been a teacher. When he came to America he could only get low­paid labor jobs because he didn't speak the language. It took him two years before he spoke English well enough to be allowed to teach here, but he did it. He never complained because he knew change could be difficult. Did he ever tell you that？” my father asked.

I looked down at my feet, ashamed at my behavior. “No. That must have been hard，” I said sheepishly.

“Your grandfather taught me that if you let people see your talent, they will accept you for who you are. I want you to always remember what my father taught me, even if it takes a few years for people to see who you are，” said Papa.

All I could say was, “Okay.” Then I asked, “What should I do now？”

Laughing, Papa said, “How about you pitch a few to me? You need some work.”

1.Why was the author unhappy that day?

A．Because he moved to a new country.

2.The father successfully changed his son's mood by ________.

A．asking him to train harder

B．playing baseball with him

C．telling his grandfather's story

D．introducing him some new friends

3.The underlined word “sheepishly” probably means ________.

A．shyly　　　　　　    B．patiently

C．clumsily　     D．cautiously

4.What can we infer about the author?

A．He thinks his father lives in the past.

B．He'd rather live with his grandfather.

C．He will continue to dislike school and everything.

D．He will try his best to adapt to the new environment.

If your job requires a lot of sitting, you could be putting your health at danger.

The American Journal of Epidemiology (流行病学) did a study in 2010 on the correlation (相互联系) between sitting and an individual's physical health. In the study, 53,440 working men and 69,776 working women were surveyed on their time spent sitting. The subjects were all disease free when employed. The researchers identified 11,307 deaths in men and 7,923 deaths in women during the 14-year follow-up.

The findings: Women who reported sitting for more than six hours per day had an approximately 40 higher all-cause death rate than those who reported less than three hours a day, and men had an approximately 20 higher death rate.

Well, now's a fine time to get this information. But why didn't they tell me this years ago? I would have planned on taking a more active job instead of the sedentary (坐着的) job of an editor.

So what can you do if you have to work for a living at a job that requires a lot of sitting? Here are some ideas:

Take frequent breaks. It is recommended that workers vary activities, change their position, and take short breaks every 20 minutes to rest muscles and increase blood circulation. Get a standing desk. Some studies have shown that working from an upright position may be better for health. The serious fitness people can even purchase a treadmill (跑步机) desk. It only goes about one mile per hour. Have a walking meeting. If your group is kind of small, going for a walk while discussing topics is a good alternative.
