In the midst of this scene the musicians had kept on playing until the tent was on fire over-head because they knew music sometimes might work wonder; they had jumped off the bandstand just before a flaming quarter-pole fell into the
13、ir stand. City fire equipment had arrived by now and was pouring streams of water onto the big top area to cool it enough for firemen to enter.

Even for people who exercised regularly, the risk of death went up the longer they were in front of the TV. The
19、 problem was the long periods of time spent sitting still.Australian researchers who tracked 8,800 people for an average of six years found that those who said they watched TV for more than four hours a day were 46% more likely to die of any cause and 80% more likely to die of cardiovascular (心血管的)
20、disease than people who reported spending less than two hours a day in front of TV.Time spent in front of TVs and computers and videogames has come under fire in studies in recent years for contributing to a spread of obesity in the US and around the world.

22、lbourne, who led the study. “Its the incidental moving around, standing up and using muscles. That doesnt happen when we are plunked on a couch in front of a television.”Indeed, participants in the study reported getting between 30 and 45 minutes of exercise a day, on average.The results are support
23、ed by a new field of research that shows how long periods of inactivity can affect the bodys processing of fats and other substances that contribute to heart risk. And they suggest that people can help decrease such risk simply by avoiding extended periods of sitting.”Keeping such processes working
24、more effectively doesnt require constant intense exercise, but consciously adding more routine movement to your life might help, doctors say. “Just standing is better than sitting,” says Gerard Fletcher, a cardiologist at Mayo Clinic, Jacksonville, Fla., who works standing up at his computer. “When
25、you stand up, you shuffle around a little bit and use muscles not required when you are sitting or lying down.”Simple strategies for increasing activity include combining household chores such as folding laundry with TV-watching time or getting up to change a TV channel rather than using a remote co

32、igh school students drop out.So I applaud the U.S. Departments of Education and Justice for their recent action to address harmful school discipline policies that push so many thousands of black children out of school each year and into the juvenile (青少年) justice and adult prison pipeline.

33、ucation system is to do its part in replacing it with a cradle to college, career and success pipeline, we must end the current practice where children in the greatest need are suspended from school mostly for nonviolent offenses.These resources, officially known as “guidance,” will help schools and

Boys, however, seem to enjoy building toy towers and playing with toys which have clear functions. _33_ People whose jobs are in the constructio
