Ifyou think that running marathons will help you live a long and healthy life,newresearch may come as a shock.According to a recent scientific study,people whodo a very strenuous workout are as likely to die as people who do no exercise atall.
Scientistsin Denmark have been studying over 1,000 joggers and non-joggers for 12years.The death rates from the sample group indicate that people who jog at amoderate pace two or three times a week for less than two and a half hours intotal are least likely to die.The best speed to jog at was found to be about 5miles per hour.The research suggests that people who jog more than three times aweek or at higher speeds of over 7 mph die at the same rate as non-joggers.Thescientists think that this is because strenuous exercise causes structuralchanges to the heart and arteries(动脉).Over time,this can cause seriousinjuries.
PeterSchnohr,a researcher in Copenhagen,said,“If your goal is to decrease risk ofdeath and improve life expectancy,jogging a few times a week at a moderate paceis a good strategy.Anything more is not just unnecessary,and it may beharmful.”
Theimplications of this are that moderate forms of exercise such as tai chi,yogaand brisk walking may be better for us than“iron man”events,triathlons andlong-distance running and cycling.According to Jacob Louis Marott,anotherresearcher involved in the study,“You don’t actually have to do that much tohave a good impact on your health.And perhaps you shouldn’t actually do toomuch”.

Youthink you know your dog. 36 She probably recognizes you when she sees you.Butcan a dog tell by simply looking at you whether you have a happy or an angryexpression on your face?Researchers in Austria have taught pet dogs to know thedifference.
37When dog owners shout or speak in a strong,sharp voice,dogs often act guilty andquietly move away from the area.
Recently,researchersfound that dogs can look at our faces,and tell the difference between a smileand a frown.The animals were able to recognize a look of approval from one ofdisapproval.Researchers at the University of Veterinary Medicine performed aseries of experiments. 38 They showed the dogs two pictures of either the upperor lower half of a person’s face.On one picture,the person looked happy.Theother appeared angry.The dogs were then shown images of the eyes or mouths ofpeople they had never seen before.
39Once the dogs learned to recognize which image was happy or angry,they couldeasily identify the same expressions in pictures of any face.Future studies willtry to show whether dogs can learn the meaning of facial expressions. 40
