The traditional Chinese solar calendar divides the year into 24 solar 【小题1】(term). Among them, the Waking of Insects (惊蛰) signals a rise in temperature and increased rainfall. As the third solar term in the solar year, its name refers to the fact that animals sleeping in winter 【小题2】(wake) by spring thunder and that the earth begins to come back to life.

The Waking of Insects is an 【小题3】(extreme) important time for farmers and is widely seen as the beginning of the 【小题4】(busy) time for agricultural work. During this period, most parts of China experience the quickest rise in temperatures, with the average level 【小题5】(reach) above 10 degrees Celsius, and there is a marked increase in sunshine, 【小题6】 provides good natural conditions for farming.

According to 【小题7】 ancient Chinese folk story, a white tiger is the creature that brings quarrels. It always begins hunting during the Waking of Insects, and sometimes bites people. It is said that those【小题8】(bite) by a white tiger will encounter evil persons in their life that bring bad luck. Therefore, people offer foods and fruits 【小题9】 the white tiger during the Waking of Insects to protect 【小题10】(they).

Running may be the most effective exercise to increase life expectancy. According to 【小题1】 new study, compared to non-runners, runners tended 【小题2】(live) about three additional years, even if they run slowly or 【小题3】(occasion) and smoke, drink or are overweight.

The 59【小题4】(finding) come as a follow-up to a previous study 【小题5】 a group of distinguished exercise scientists carefully checked data from a large number of medical and fitness tests 【小题6】(conduct) at the Cooper Institute in Dallas. That analysis found that as little as 5 minutes of daily running was associated with prolonged lifespans.

Some people asked if other activities, such as walking, were likely to be as 【小题7】(benefit) as running. Long-distance runners 【小题8】(wonder) if they could be doing too much, and if at some undefined number of miles or hours, running might become harmful and even contributed 【小题9】 early death. And a few people questioned whether running really added to people's lifespans.

So for the new study, Dr. Lee and his colleagues set out to address related issues by analyzing data from the Cooper Institute 【小题10】 also examining results from a number of other large-scale recent studies.
