The Ultra Ironman Triathlon Race ( 超长铁人三项比赛 ) is considered one of the most challenging sporting events in the world. Competitors swim, ride a bike, and run. The race is made up of a 3. 86-kilometer swim, a 180. 25-kilometer bicycle ride, and a 42. 2-kilometer run. There are no breaks during the race, so competitors must keep going no matter what. People who choose to enter this race must be healthy and prepared in both mind and body.
There are several rules for those who want to compete in the Ultra Ironman Triathlon Race. The minimum age of racers is 18, so everyone who competes is an adult. Training for the Ironman can take more than a year. People who train often start practicing the events at shorter distances first and then increase the amount of length and time they swim, bike, and run. Training can be difficult because people need to find a balance of strength and endurance ( 忍耐力 ) training. Without enough training, people can get harmed. Some people even put on weight when training because their bodies store calories ( 卡路里 ) instead of using them for energy. All people in training should drink plenty of water.
In the past 40 years, the Ironman has developed from a single race into a global ( 全球的 ) movement. Today’s Ironman races have events of different distances and racers of different ages. Since 2008, Weihai has held the Ironman Triathlon Race once a year. Weihai Triathlon Sports Association ( 威海铁人三项运动协会 ) was founded in2011. The 2014 World Triathlon Championships ( 世界铁人三项锦标赛 ) was held in Weihai, which was the first time that the event was held in an Asian city.
Look at the pretty WeiWei, the mascot ( 吉祥物 ) of Weihai Ironman Triathlon Race.
Exercise is good for people’s health and helps the heart. People take part in other sports and games such as golf or football, but the Ironman is a challenging way to stay fit. Even though it is hard, it can still be fun. It’s a great way to stay active and enjoy life!

May 23 in 1981 was a big day for scientist Liu Yinzeng ( 刘荫增 ) . He and his team found seven wild crested ibises ( 朱鹮 ) in Hanzhong, Shanxi province.
“That night, I saw a crested ibis fly across the sky. We ran after it at once and found four adult crested ibises and three young little birds in the woods,” Liu said.
That was the start of China’s efforts to protect the birds. There are 4,400 crested ibises in China, making up most of the bird’s global ( 全球的 ) population of over 5,000. It has been more than 40 years since the birds came back.
Crested ibises are one of the oldest birds in the world. There were once lots of crested ibises in Asia. But in the 1960s, they began to disappear because of pollution and other human activities. That was why Liu and his team set out to look for the birds. They spent three years searching in 14 provinces before making their big finding.
Chinese scientists have worked hard to study and protect the birds since then. They have asked people not to hunt ( 捕猎 ) the birds, cut down trees, or use fertilizers ( 化肥 ) in the places where the birds live. They helped the birds have more babies. Some crested ibises were also sent to Japan and South Korea. All of these countries work together to protect the birds.
11 . Seven wild crested ibises were found in 1981, by Liu Yinzeng and his team.
12 . The number of wild crested ibises is over 5,000 in China.
13 . There weren’t any crested ibises left before scientists found them in Hanzhong.
14 . People are asked to improve the living environment of crested ibises.
15 . Thanks to scientists’ efforts, crested ibises have avoided the danger of dying out.
A 12 . B 13 . B 14 . A 15 . A

____21____
Something may seem important now, but is it important in the long run? In 10 years’ time, 80% of what you do today will not turn into anything useful, so why do it? Spend your time on what is the most important. Forget the rest.
____22____
If you can do something (like a household chore, or reply to an e-mail) in two minutes, don’t put it off. You will have to do it sooner or later, but planning to do it, remembering to do it, and finally doing it in the future will take five minutes or more. Do it now and save three minutes.
____23____
Don’t think that you have to finish a big job all in one sitting. If you do that, you might never start it. Instead, work on it bit by bit, five minutes at a time.
