28、search shows,while most likely contributing to fewer injuries.It does,however,have its own problem.Race walkers are conditioned athletes.The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50-kilometer race walk,which is about five miles longer than the marathon.But the sports rules requ
29、ire that a race walkers knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact()with the ground at all times.Its this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity,however,says Jaclyn Norberg,an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State Unive
30、rsity in Salem,Mass.Like running,race walking is physically demanding,she says.According to most calculations,race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories()per hour,which is approximately twice as many as they would burn walking,although fewer than running,which
31、would probably burn about 1,000 or more calories per hour.However,race walking does 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 per step,while race walkers,who do not leave the ground,create
32、only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step.As a result,she says,some of the injuries associated with running,such as runners knee,are uncommon among race walkers.But the sports strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips,so people with a history of such injuries mig

37、eir workplaces were decorated with houseplants.The engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyMIThave taken it a step further changing the actual composition of plants in order to get them to perform diverse,even unusual functions.These include plants that have sensors printed onto their
38、leaves to show when theyre short of water and a plant that can detect harmful chemicals in groundwater.Were thinking about how we can engineer plants to replace functions of the things that we use every day,explained Michael Strano,a professor of chemical engineering at MIT.One of his latest project
39、s has been to make plants glowin experiments using some common vegetables.Stranos team found that they could create a faint light for three-and-a-half hours.The light,about one-thousandth of the amount needed to read by,is just a start.The technology,Strano said,could one day be used to light the ro
40、oms or even to turn tree into self-powered street lamps.In the future,the team hopes to develop a version of the technology that can be sprayed onto plant leaves in a one-off treatment that would last the plants lifetime.The engineers are also trying to develop an on and offswitchwhere the glow woul

48、ur accomplishments and achievements.You have a job,earned your degree,and you got out of bed today.39 Now that youve listed your strengths,list your imperfections.Turn the page in your journal.Put into words why you feel unworthy,why you dont feel good enough.Now,read these words back to yourself.40
