Claire Lomas began the Great North Run, which is called half-marathon, in northeastern England on Wednesday morning. 36-year-old Lomas ran average 3 miles a day.

Claire Lomas made the walk with the help of a bionic suit, It was purchased（购买） after she raised around $66,000.

C For children, eating with their families is not only about preventing bad outcomes- it is also about developing good ones.Several studies have looked at the long-term effects eating with families has on children. Experts say that these studies do not seem to prove a cause-and-effect relationship. However, they do suggest a strong correlation. About three years ago, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development ( OECD) looked at data from nearly three quarters of the worlds countries. Among its findings was the fact that students who shared a main meal with their families were less likely to skip school. Children who eat a main meal with their families are also less likely to be badly-behaved. In the CASA report, titled" The Importance of Family Dinners V" , researchers say," Teens who have frequent family dinners are more likely to say their parents know a lot about what's really going on in their lives .”They also claim that when teens say they feel closer to their parents, they are less likely to behave badly. Another study from the University of Montreal found that children who ate with their families experience long-term physical and mental health benefits. These children were physically in better shape and drank fewer sugary soft drinks. They also seemed to have better social skills. One researcher, Linda Pagani says that there is "a handful of research suggesting a positive link between eating family meals together frequently and the health of children and adolescents"Pagani says that mealtimes shared with parents " likely provide young children with first-hand social interaction, discussions of social affairs and day-to-day concerns". She adds that they may likely help the children have better communication kills with others.28. What does the underlined word " correlation" mean?A. effect B. cause C. outcome D. tie29.

Links between eating together and child health. D. Findings of studies about enjoying family dinners. DNow, a growing number of companies are offering subscriptions(订购）for something most people are used to owning: cars.Car subscription plans are mainly aimed at drivers who do not want to have long-term agreements for one single car. Many people using the services say they like being able to use a number of different kinds of vehicles depending on their needs.Steve Barnes uses a car subscription service in Atlanta, Georgia. He says that every time he orders a new car "it feels like New Year's morning" Barnes signed up for the service in 2018 to be able to use many kinds of vehicles for different purposes. He says for some activities with his children, he chooses a large SUV. But when he wants to have fun or go out at night, he chooses a Tesla or some other kinds of sports car. But the comfort of such services can come at a high cost. Barnes pays $ 1,400 a month for his subscription. This is much higher than the $ 900 a month he used to pay to hire an SUV with insurance. Sill, he has no desire to own or hire a car again. He says his subscription has allowed him to drive many different vehicles which would have cost more than $1 million to own.Some of the world's biggest automakers are currently offering subscription plans for vehicles. One of them is Ford Motor Company. The company signed a deal last year with the San Francisco-based Monthly subscription service-Canvas. Canvas offers several models, including used vehicles .Monthly subscriptions start at $ 379 for small cars and go up to $ 1,125 for large SUVs. But these plans limit drivers to 800 kilometers per month. For another $ 100, users can get unlimited travel. Adela Spulber works at the U. S. -based Center for Automotive Research in Michigan. She said that the effects of vehicle subscription services remain unknown.32. What is the main purpose of car subscription plans?A. To get people to buy cars more actively.B.
