Passage FiveOne of Dara Torres’ trainers is walking all over me. Literally. I’m lying on my stomach as Steve Sierra concentrates his entire 160 lb. on my glutei and hamstrings. It hurts, but in a good way. It’s all part of the flexibility--and strength-building regimen that Torres, who is making history, as the oldest swimmer to compete in the Olympics, credits with getting her 41-year-old body in good-enough shape to race athletes half her age. But resistance stretching, as it is called, is not just for the Olympians among us. Its focus on maximizing muscle flexibility has been useful for everyone from injured NBA players to children with cerebral palsy. The exercises may not look like much--they generally require no equipment other than a mat and maybe a towel and some straps--and they may not feel that strenuous, but you know the next day that you’ve had a workout. Resistance stretching centers on flexing your muscles even as you stretch them; for example, instead of simply releasing a leg lift, resist the urge to let your quad muscles relax on the way down. Unlike holding a muscle in a passively stretched position, the resistance route actively lengthens muscles through constant movement. "Resistance stretching goes deep into the joints and grabs more muscle fibers to increase strength and flexibility," says Tierney, Sierra’s partner. "It takes twice as much force to stretch a muscle as it does to contract it." I’m not convinced yet, but after they guide me through a few exercises my muscles do start to feel more energized I can see why Torres likes to be worked on half an hour before she swims. Although Tierney and Sierra have certified 250 trainers through weekend workshops, you might be hard-pressed to find a class at your local gym. That may have something to do with the fact that stretching has always been deemed the most disposable part of any exercise regimen. "People usually only think about flexibility and stretching when they are older and getting stiff or when they are injured," says Tiernjcy. "It’s just not considered sexy." That could change. As doctors urge even us non-Olympians to remain physically active throughout our lives, maybe we’ll start to pay more attention to stretching. After all, look what it does for Tortes. According to the author, the possible reason for the unpopularity of resistance stretching today is that it is thought to be()

A. too painful to endure
B. causing too much hurt
C. a trivial part of exercise
D. too natural a physical act

Translate the underlined parts into Chinese: The Internet is good at shame. 1) There are countless websites where people can post nasty complaints about ex-lovers and rude customers or, worse, push fragile teens over the edge, as in the recent case of a Missouri girl driven to suicide by online bullying. Now a new site aimed at college students is raising questions about the legality of online rumor mills. 2) Juicy Campus. corn is a rapidly growing gossip site that solicits content with the promise of anonymity. But what began as fun and games--and now has sub-companies on seven college campuses, including Duke University, where it began -- has turned ugly and, in many cases, to be flatly smearing others. The posts have devolved from innocuous tales of secret crushes to racist tirades and lurid finger-pointing about drug use and sex, often with the alleged culprit identified by first and last name. In one post, a nameless Loyola Marymount University student asks why so many African-Americans and Latinos are enrolled at the school: "I thought the high tuition was supposed to keep the undesirables OUT" 3) It’s gotten to the point, says Dan Belzer, a Duke senior who has written about the site for his school’s newspaper, where "anyone with a grudge can maliciously attack defenseless students." 4) And get away with it, too. Juicy Campus- whose Duke-graduate founder, Matt Ivestor, declined to comment for this story--isn’t sponsored by the schools it covers, so administrators can’t regulate it. Neither does the law. Such sites are protected by a federal law that immunizes Web hosts from liability for the musings of their users--as long as the hosts themselves don’t modify content. (And firmly establishing the identity of an individual poster would be next to impossible.) The rationale is to protect big companies like AOL from the actions of each and every user. But as a consequence, it means victims of a damaged rep have little legal recourse. "Courts tend to have antiquated understandings of privacy," says Daniel Solove, an expert in cyberlaw and the author of The Future of Reputation. "Until that changes we’re going to see this keep happening." 5) At present, there’s only one sure way to rein in a site like Juicy Campus: persuade everyone to stop using it. But you don’t need a college degree to figure out that won’t happen. 2.Juicy Campus.corn is a rapidly growing gossip site that solicits content with the promise of anonymity.

Passage OneMost people lie in everyday conversation when they are trying to appear likable and competent, according to a study conducted by University of Massachusetts psychologist Robert S. Feldman. The study found that lies told by men and women differ in content, though not in quantity. Feldman said the results showed that men do not lie more than women or vice versa, but that men and women lie in different ways. "Women were more likely to lie to make the person they were talking to feel good, while men lied most often to make themselves look better," Feldman said. A group of 121 pairs of undergraduate UMass students were recruited to participate in the study. They were told that the purpose of the study was to examine how people interact when they meet someone new. Participants were told they would have a 10-minute conversation with another person. Some participants were told to try to make themselves appear likable. Others were told to appear competent. A third, control group was not directed to present themselves in any particular way. Participants were unaware that the session was being videotaped through a hidden camera. At the end of the session, participants were told they had been videotaped and consent was obtained to use the video-recordings for research. The students were then asked to watch the video of themselves and identify any inaccuracies in what they had said during the conversation. They were encouraged to identify all lies, no matter how big or small. Feldman said the students who participated in the study were surprised at their own results. "When they were watching themselves on videotape, people found themselves lying much more than they thought they had," Feldman said. The lies the students told varied considerably, according to Feldman. Some were relatively minor, such as agreeing with the person with whom they were speaking that they liked someone when they really did not. Others were more extreme, such as falsely claiming to be the star of a rock band. "It’ so easy to lie," Feldman said. "We teach our children that honesty is the best policy, but we also tell them it’s polite to pretend they like a birthday gift they’ve been given. Kids get a very mixed message regarding the practical aspects of lying, and it has an impact on how they behave as adults." Before the study of the interactions, two groups of participants were told()

A. what they should discuss
B. whom they should talk to
C. how they should behave
D. how fast they should speak
