Then Mr. Smith and Emma received a timely gift$7,000, a legacy(遗产) from their neighbors Mr. and Mrs. Brown, who died in an accident. “It really made a di
11、fference when we were going under financially,” says Emma. But they werent the only people in the neighboring town to receive unexpected legacy from the Browns.

However, a new study shows that the drop in te
18、mperature is a good reason to run. In fact, researchers say running in cold weather helps improve ones performance.Many people say running in winter can be difficult. Two reasons are the low temperatures and bitter winds. Yet many runners might find it easier than running in hot weather. That could
19、be because lower temperatures reduce stress on the body. When you run in cold weather, your body loses less water than in warmer conditions. The body needs less water on a cold day than in warm weather. This information comes from sports scientists at St. Marys University in London.John Brewer is a
20、professor of applied sport science at St. Marys. For this study, he and other researchers put a group of people into a room they called an “environmental chamber”. The researchers then recreated summer and winter weather conditions in the room. The test subjects were asked to run 10,000 meters under
21、 both conditions. Brewer says he and his team recorded biological measurements(测量) of the runners. “Weve got a group of subjects into the environmental chamber, weve changed the conditions to recreate summer or winter and weve got them to run 10 km under both of those conditions and taken various me
22、asurements on each runner while theyve been completing their 10 km.”They found that the runners lost water by around 30.38% more in those hotter conditions. Besides, Brewer says every movement runners make produces heat. He explains that one way in which we lose heat is by sweating(出汗). He says the
23、body also loses heat by transporting the blood to the surface of the skin. “That heat builds up in the body and can be really damaging unless you can lose that heat. And its much harder to lose heat when the environment is warm as well.” And they found their perception of heat was around a third low
24、er when they were running in cold conditions. The body does not have to work as hard to pump blood to the skins surface.Several websites note that the most important thing for people who run in cold conditions is to wear the right clothing. Keeping as dry as possible is the most important when exerc
25、ising in low temperatures. So, if you are a runner, dont let winter weather keep you indoors. Simply get ready for the low temperatures and start running.1.According to the passage, John Brewer probably agrees that .()A. people should run 10,000 meters in winterB.running in winter is good for your h
