According to a review of evidence in a medical journal, runners live three years 61
(long) than
non-runners. You don’t have to run fast or for long 62
(see) the benefit. You may drink, smoke, be
overweight and still reduce your risk of 63 dying (die) early by running.
While running regularly can’t make you live forever, the review says it 64
(be) more effective at
lengthening life 65
walking, cycling or swimming. Two of the authors of the review also made a study
published in 2014
66
showed a mere five to 10 minutes a day of running reduced the risk of heart disease

The best exercise is one that you enjoy and will do. But otherwise ... it’s probably running. To avoid knee pain,
you can run on soft surfaces, do exercises to 68
(strength) your leg muscles (肌肉)，avoid hills and get good
running shoes. Running is cheap, easy and it’s always 69

pigs, and cattle. Another reason for corn's rise: The government encourages farmers to grow corn instead of rice
64 (improve) water quality. Corn uses less water 65 rice and creates less fertilizer(化肥) runoff. This switch
has decreased 66 (pollute) in the country's major lakes and reservoirs and made drinking water safer for people.
According to the World Bank, China accounts for about 30 percent of total 67 (globe)fertilizer consumption.
The Chinese Ministry of Agriculture finds that between 2005—when the government 68 (start) a soil-testing
program 69 gives specific fertilizer recommendations to farmers - and 2011, fertilizer use dropped by 7.7
