A dad says he’s built a special bond with his two-year-old daughter after running a series of long distance races with her strapped(用带子系)to his back.
Chris Greenbank,36,a stonemason(石匠)from Stockport,Greater Manchester,even managed to complete a half marathon carrying the youngster in a special hiking carrier.
The single father,who has suffered from anxiety in the past,has been raising money to mental health support group Project23.The group,which helps people with anxiety and mental health problems,was set up by Chris’s friend Mark Sproston.
Chris’s latest,Runnorthwests festive10k in Cheshire,was his fourth race and he says, possibly their last,as the kid may be too heavy in spring.Besides,Chris had been a little worried if the weather would be too chilly for his daughter.“No matter how difficult it is,I want to get us both a festive Christmas medal before it gets too cold.”He added,“We have four medals now and we have run51km in total.”
In October Chris took just under three hours to complete the Manchester Half Marathon with his daughter on his back.The dad says his little girl rested her hand on his shoulder and kept it there for the whole duration of the run.He said,“Our bond isn’t something you can even put into words.My hea
rt is full.”
Chris,who says exercise is an important part of positive mental health,believes there should be no reason why people can’t exercise because they have kids.

An Arizona aquarium is celebrating the hatching of three endangered African penguin chicks,saying the tiny additions are genetically(从基因方面)valuable as zoos and aquariums around the world work to ensure the species’survival through breeding(培育) programs and conservation efforts.
Officials at OdySea Aquarium made the announcement Friday,posting video of the cute birds on social media.They hatched a few weeks ago and will remain behind the scenes with their parents until they’re ready for a public appearance.
African penguins have suffered a massive population decline over the decades and are listed as end
angered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.So any successful hatching is cause for celebration,said Jess Peranteau,director of animal care and education at the aquarium.
“As the population of the African penguin continues to rapidly decline-down23%in the past two years alone-OdySea Aquarium remains committed to the survival of the species in partnership with other Association of Zoos and Aquariums,”Peranteau said in a statement. The breeding program established by the association aims to build up a gene bank for the species.
Officials say two of the three new chicks in Scottsdale were born to parents Mojo and Lemieux-a power couple of sorts that was selected for pairing as part of the breeding program. The third chick was born to first-time parents Bubbles and Weasley.
Aquarium workers will regularly conduct“chick checks”,brief exams to monitor their growth and development and ensure they are hitting all necessary milestones.The three chicks have yet to be named,and their sex hasn’t yet been determined.For now they’re known by their numbers,42,43and44.In all,OdySea Aquarium now has40African penguins and has recorded13successful hatchings.

One Alahama school was extremely creative in encouraging students to read more and to help improve the school district’s literacy.They added an Inchy’s Bookworm Vending Machine(售货机)an actual vending machine that allows students to add a special coin and get a brand new book.
Sixth-grade reading teacher Kristy White said students have been inspired to earn coins so they can get a new book.Every classroom has coins,and students can earn them by improving in their reading or math skills or exhibiting good behavior.
Kristy said it only takes one coin to use the machine.Nice!What’s even nicer is there are books for all grade levels and students even make suggestions for titles they’d like to see available.Funding for the vending machine came from community support through donations and grants.
Lucy Williamson was the first student to use the machine.The sixth-grader said she can see the growing excitement of her fellows and she looks forward to getting even more books.“This has some different books that the library doesn’t have and I’m able to keep the book longer because it’s mine so I have more time to read it,”Lucy said.She also shared that she rereads books often,so being able to choose a book that she can take home is a real plus.
Beyond reading,the vending machine has also encouraged students to behave better. And when a st
udent gets a coin,everyone celebrates the win.“The students are thrilled when they are the student who gets the coin that week or one of the students,they come down here and the students cheer for them,”Kristy said.
We’re cheering for them,too!This is such a unique way to motivate students.Reading is so fundamental that it really serves as the foundation for all other learning.This vending machine is just one way to help students succeed.
submitting12．What does the underlined word“literacy”in paragraph1mean? A．Communication skills.B．Academic performance. C．Professional knowledge.D．Reading and writing ability. 13．What can we know about the vending machine?
A．It charges students for the special coins.
B．It encourages students’positive growth.
C．It turns a blind eye to students’proposals.
D．It aims to raise money for local community.
14．Why did Lucy commit herself to using the vending machine?
A．To enrich her extra-curricular life.B．To escape from the school library. C．To enjoy selecting and rereading books.D．To gain respect and praise from her fellows.
15．Which is the suitable title for the text?
A．Kristy White:a Creative Reading Teacher
B．Lucy Williamson:a Model Pupil at School
C．A Unique Way to Inspire Students to Read
