Host side Sanfrecce Hiroshima beat New Zealands Auckland City 1-0 to earn a quarterfinal clash with African champions Al Ahly of Egypt, but the result will remain a footnote to FIFAs revolution. Despite refusing calls for the introduction of GLT for many years, FIFA secretary general Jerome Valcke stated that there was no reason to be against this technology on the eve of the match. The first referee to have access to the system in a petitive game was Djamel Haimoudi but the Algerian had no need to call upon GoalRefs magnetic field system in Yokohama. This is the first of two goal-line systems being trialed at the petition for the continental club champions, in which the title-holders of the host nation (J-League winners Sanfrecce Hiroshima on this occasion) also participate. Hiroshima, who won the Japanese championship for the first time last month to earn their place in football history, will also take part as the second system is used, with camera-based Hawk-Eye being used for Sundays tie with the seven-time African champions. This is a kind of revolution, Valcke told FIFAs website before the match. It is the first time that this kind of technology is ing into football. We must ensure that when the ball goes into the goal, the referee must get the information that the ball has gone in. The referee has the final decision. The technology wont change the speed, value or spirit of the game.

In his latest book, Inside Sport Psychology, he claims that listening to music while running can raise performance by up to 15%. If this is true, then the RocknRoll marathon series is on to something. The events, existing in the US for almost 15 years, are extremely popular, with 450,000 people running in one of its xx races alone. Many other big city races have the occasional band along the route, and London has had the Run to the Beat half-marathon, lined with DJs, for the past five years. But on 15 April the UK finally got its first taste of the action, with the original Edinburgh RocknRoll half-marathon. As I lined up at the start with almost 4,000 other runners, we were broadcast by Edinburghs Got Talent winner Caitlyn Vanbeck. With Arthurs Seat towering above us, it was exciting, and may explain why I shot off at the front. After spending six months training in Kenya last year, I have bee something of a serious runner, and finished eighth. This is important because, according to Karageorghis, the benefits of listening to music decrease with the level of intensity(强度) of the running. The faster you run, he explains, the less effect the music has. It is true. Apart from Vanbeck s rousing Flower of Scotland at the start, when I was standing still, afterwards I can barely remember the music played along the course. The first act I passed, folk group the Deadly Winters, made me smile, and at one point I found myself running in synchronicity(同步) with the beat of a heavy-rock bo. But they were moments that came and went in a flash. I cant say they helped my performance very much. But what did other runners make of it? Of course, the music was not only there to help runners to break their personal bests (although sadly it was unable to help me beat mine), but to provide a sense of occasion, draw out the crowds and create a carnival atmosphere. 9. What does Dr. Karageorghis think of RocknRoll marathon series? A. Its useless to improve the running results. B. Its profitable to the music producer. C. Its popular with the athletes. D. Its effective to improve the running results.10. Which might be the newer of the RocknRoll half-marathon? A. The capital of Scotland.B. The capital of the UK. C. The capital of the US.D. Brunel University.11. Whats Karageorghis opinion about the speed of running? A. It has nothing to do with the the benefits of listening to music. B. The benefits of listening to music increase as running speeds up. C. The benefits of listening to music reduce as running speeds up. D. It has a lot to do with the benefits of playing music.12. How many music positions are mentioned in the passage? A. Two.B. Three.C. Four.D. Five.13. Whats the best title of the passage? A. Does Music Help You More Confident? B. Does the Running Help You Much Stronger? C. Does the Running Happen with Music? D. Does Music Help You to Run Faster?D Need a solid excuse to dust off your running shoes? Joggers have been found to live an average of six years longer than those who dont jog. However, youll have to run for at least one hour a week for benefit, according to a new study in Denmark. Researchers found that jogging was associated with a 44 per cent reduction in the relative risk of death for those over 35 years pared with deaths among those who did not run. The same benefit applied to both men and women. The 44 per cent reduction translates to an age-adjusted survival benefit of 6.2 years in men and 5.6 years in women, according to Dr. Peter Schnohr, chief cardiologist from the Copenhagen City Heart study. Furthermore, the joggers lives are not only longer but happier too as those who ran reported an overall sense of well-being, said Schnohr. The results of our research allow us to definitively answer the question of whether jogging is good for your health, Schnohr said in a statement. We can say with certainty that regular jogging increases longevity. The good news is that you dont actually need to do that much to reap the benefits, he continued. The study also found that the optimum benefit of jogging was for those who jogged at a slow-to-average pace for between an hour and two and a half hours spread over two or three weekly sessions. Researchers then pared deaths among the joggers among the non-joggers in the main study pool of almost 20,000. Over 35 years, 122 joggers died pared with 10,158 non-joggers. All the participants involved with the Copenhagen City Heart Study had their cholesterol, blood pressure, blood glucose, and BMI, measured and they were questioned about smoking, alcohol consumption, education, and ine.14.

But will it help you lose weight? Practicing any type of yoga will build strength, but some types may not raise your heart rate enough to help you carry out your weight-loss plan. It depends on the type of yoga you select and how frequently you practice it. In order to lose weight, you must eat healthily and burn calories by doing exercise that raises your heart rate on a regular basis. Some types of yoga, such as Iyengar, in which yoga poses are held for several minutes with a resting period between each pose, will build muscles and improve your posture(姿势), but will not give you the workout you need to lose weight. If you plan to make yoga your primary form of exercise, you must do a 90-minute yoga class at least three times a week. Many people also choose to bine yoga with running, walking or other aerobic(有氧的) exercises in order to reach their weight-loss goals. The type of yoga you need to do is called vinyasa or flow yoga. This style of yoga is based on the performance of a series of poses called sun salutations (拜日式). Vinyasa includes many popular and athletic yoga styles. For weight-loss purposes, try Ashtanga, Power Yoga and Hot Yoga. Keep yourself exercising by doing yoga at home on the days you cant make a class. Follow along with a video or audio recording if you are new to yoga. When you are ready to plan your own workouts, use these yoga ideas to help you e up with some right choices that will fit your schedule.19.
