Since smart phones were invented, more and more people are obsessed (痴迷) by them. The obsession with phones has spread to running. They're perfectly used during a running outside. Smart phones can provide music for you and track your route. But experts warn that it's not a good idea to hold your phone in your hand while you go out for a run because it could cause hip (臀部) and shoulder injuries.

The habit could make the body lose balance. The same goes for water bottles, or anything else you might carry in one hand while on a run.

Professional UK Athletics running coach, Alexa, asks runners to carry phones in a waist belt instead. “When you hold something in your hands, there are slightly indirect influences on your pace. It influences the balance of muscle (肌肉), affects the weight of some body parts, and makes you run less fast, ” she tells Cosmopolitan UK. “This could be happening every time you train, week after week, month after month. ”

And as mobile phones get bigger and heavier, the more injuries are likely to occur. People like to always hold their phones in the same hand. It's a force of habit. With one arm heavier, your body will try to compensate for the imbalance by working certain muscles harder than others.

The other risk of running phone-in-hand, of course, is damaging the screen of your phones if you fall. It's very expensive to change a screen. Some of the latest phones can cost close to ￡300.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

For a while, my neighborhood was taken over by an army of joggers(慢跑者). They were there all the time: early mornings, noons and evenings. There were little old ladies in grey sweats(运动服), young couples in Adidas shoes, middle­aged men with red faces. "Come on！" My friend Alex encouraged me to join him as he jogged by my house every evening, "You'll feel great. "

Well, I had nothing against feeling great and if Alex could jog every day, anyone could. So I took up jogging seriously and gave it a good two months of my life, and not a day more. Based on my experience, jogging is the most overvalued form of exercise around, and judging from the number of the people who left our neighborhood jogging army, I'm not alone in my opinion.

First of all, jogging is very hard on the body. Your legs and feet take a real pounding running down a road for two or three miles. I developed foot, leg, and back problems. Then I read about a nationally famous jogger who died of heart attack while jogging, and I had something else to worry about. Jogging doesn't kill hundreds of people, but if you have any physical weaknesses, jogging will surely bring them out, as they did with me.

Secondly, I got no enjoyment out of jogging. Putting one foot in front of the other for forty­five minutes isn't my idea of fun. Jogging is also a lonely pastime. Some joggers say, "I love being out there with just my thoughts. " Well, my thoughts began to bore me, and most of them were on how much my legs hurt.

And how could I enjoy something that brought me pain？And that wasn't just the first week；it was practically every day for two months. I never got past the pain level, and pain isn't fun. What a cruel way to do it! So many other exercises, including walking, lead to almost the same results painlessly, so why jog?

I don't jog any more, and I don't think I ever will. I'm walking two miles three times a week at a fast pace, and that feels good. I bicycle to work when the weather is good. I'm getting exercise, and I'm enjoying it at the same time. I could never say the same for jogging, and I've found a lot of better ways to stay in shape.

He dreamed of arriving at the party and skating into the room while playing the violin. He was sure that everyone would be very surprised.

On the night of the party Merlin rolled into the room, playing his violin. Everyone was really surprised to see him. There was just one problem. Merlin had no way to stop his roller skating.
