Surrounded by rolling green hills dotted with horses and cows, the town of Waimea on Hawaii’s Big Island is a peaceful and friendly place. One afternoon, while staying with friends at their house there, my husband and I decided to go for a    36 along the many, mostly traffic-free, country lanes in the area.
We met a beautiful Golden Retriever. He seemed     37   friendly so we stopped to play with him,    38 a stick which he retrieved(取回) several times happily. When we    39   our walk, he followed us, and although I worried that he    40   be going too far from his home, I couldn’t deny that we were enjoying his    41   .
After about twenty minutes, we found ourselves walking along a dirt road in an unfamiliar area. One house, almost hidden by shrubbery(灌木林) and shaded by tall trees，seemed    42 strange. I felt an urge to be as far away from that place as possible.
Just then, the door to the house creaked open and five dogs    43   , barking and growling as they ran toward us. I felt   44 and couldn’t move. There was nowhere to    45   and no time to run..
All of a sudden, our new friend appeared between the dogs and us. He faced them – all five of them – growling and baring his teeth. I was    46   to see the attacking dogs stop in their tracks ten feet away from him. Our protector    47   them there while we escaped.    48   a safe distance, we looked back and saw the five dogs   49 back toward their house.
But the Golden Retriever was    50   in sight. I felt an ache in my   51   ; I missed our friend already. Instinctively, I knew he was not hurt. With a feeling of   52   , we made our way back to the house,   53 the whole way that we would see him again. But it was not to be.
When I told our friend about the encounter, her eyes flew wide open   54 she exclaimed, “It was an angel!”
To this day I have no   55 that a four-legged angel protected us.

Money, or the lack of it, changes everything, and that includes how people will be working out in 2010.
In these belt-tightening times 1 , cost-conscious workouts（锻炼）at home and at the gym topped the list of fitness trends for this year in a survey, followed 2 by shorter, more time-efficient regimens, such as 3 boot camp（强力集中训练） and circuit training.
"People are looking 4 for ways to accomplish as much as possible with as little 5 time and money as necessary," said Cedric X. Bryant, chief science officer of the American Council on Exercise (ACE), which conducted the online poll of fitness professionals.
"Last year money was on the list but this 6 year the majority of the respondents put 7 it as one of the top," he added.
Bryant said some 600 ACE-certified fitness 8 professionals responded to the annual poll 9 , which the non-profit organization has been conducting for a decade.
Other money-saving measures 10 , such as the shift from personal training sessions to small group training 11 classes and in-home workouts 12 using smaller, more portable equipment, also made the list.
"Personal trainers are seeing they've got to respond to market needs 13 . Working with two to four clients at a 14 time they can charge less 15 but still get their hourly fee," Bryant said.
Boot-camp workouts and circuit training, both of which burn 16 calories while building strength and endurance（持久性）, will be among the most popular trends in 2010, as time-constrained（受压制的） consumers 17 seek shorter, more intense activities.
One bright spot is the rise of exergaming-type systems, like Nintendo's Wii Sports, Wii Fit and the PC-based Dancetown. Bryant says the fitness-based video games are turning up 18 in health clubs and senior centers.
Functional training workouts, which are geared to improving the quality of life and the ability to perform everyday tasks, will remain strong 19 , and the use of computerized tracking and online training and scheduling tools will increase 20 in the coming year.

Parents who smoke often open a window or turn on a fan to clear the air for their children, but experts now have identified a related threat to children's health that isn't as easy to get rid of: third-hand smoke。
That's the term being   1   to describe the invisible yet poisonous mixture of gases and particles(颗粒) clinging(依附) to smokers' hair and   2 , not to mention cushions and carpeting, that stays long after second-hand smoke has cleared from a room. The remaining   3 heavy metals, carcinogens(致癌物) and even radioactive materials that young children can get on their hands and take in,   4 if they're crawling or playing on the floor。
Doctors from MassGeneral Hospital for Children in Boston coined the term "third-hand smoke" to   5 these chemicals in a new study that   6 on the risks they pose to infants and children. The study was published in the 7 issue of the journal Pediatrics。
"Everyone knows that second-hand smoke is bad, 8 they don't know about this," said Dr. Jonathan P. Winickoff, the lead author of the study and an assistant professor of pediatrics at Harvard Medical School。
"When their kids are   9 the house, they might smoke. Or they smoke in the car. Or they strap(用带子捆扎) the kid in the car seat in the back and crack the window and   10 , and they think it's okay because the second-hand smoke isn't getting to their 11 . We needed a term to describe these tobacco toxins that aren't 12 ."
The study reported on 13 toward smoking in 1,500 households across the United States. It found that the vast majority of both smokers and nonsmokers were   14 that second-hand smoke is harmful to children. Some 95 percent of nonsmokers and 84 percent of smokers 15 with the statement that "inhaling smoke from a parent's cigarette can   16 the health of infants and children"。
But   17 fewer of those surveyed were aware of the 18 of third-hand smoke. Since the term is so new, the researchers asked people if they agreed with the statement that "breathing air in a room   19 where people smoked yesterday can harm the health of infants and children"。
Only 65 percent of nonsmokers and 43 percent of smokers agreed with that 20 , which researchers interpreted as acknowledgement of the risks of third-hand smoke。

Unhappy people glue（使粘牢） themselves to the television 30 percent more than happy people.
The finding, announced on Thursday,   1 from a survey of nearly 30,000 American adults conducted between 1975 and 2006 as part of the General Social Survey.
2 happy people reported watching an   3   of 19 hours of television per week, unhappy people reported 25 hours a week. The results held even after   4 into account education, income, age and marital status.
In addition, happy individuals were more socially   5 , attended more religious services, voted more and   6 a newspaper more often than their less-chipper（没有精神的） counterparts.
The researchers are not sure, though, whether unhappiness  7 more television-watching or more viewing leads to unhappiness.
In fact, people say they like watching television: Past research has shown that when people watch television they  8   it. In these studies, participants reported that on a  9 from 0 (dislike) to 10 (greatly enjoy), TV-watching was nearly an 8.
But perhaps the high from watching television doesn't  10 .
"These conflicting data 11 that TV may provide viewers with short-run  12 , but at the expense of long-term malaise(精神欠爽)," said researcher John Robinson, a sociologist at the University of Maryland, College Park.
In this case, even the happiest campers could turn into Debbie-downers if they continue to  13 at the TV. The researchers suggest that over time, television-viewing 14   push out other activities that do have more lasting  15 . Exercise and sex come to mind, as do parties and other forms of socialization known to have psychological benefits.
Or, maybe television is simply a refuge(慰藉物) for people who are already  16 .
"TV is not judgmental 17 difficult, so people with  18 social skills or resources for other activities can engage in it," Robinson and UM colleague Steven Martin write in the December issue of the journal Social Indicators Research.
They add, " 19 , chronic unhappiness can be socially and personally debilitating（使人衰弱的） and can interfere with work and most social and personal activities, but even the unhappiest people can click a remote and be passively  20 by a TV."
The researchers say follow-up studies are needed to tease out the relationship between television and happiness.

It seems parents have long been right. Going to bed early is key to getting enough sleep and helping adolescents feel on top of the world, a new study reported.
A   1   of sleep among youngsters may    2   depression and suicidal (自杀的)thoughts, according to the study by the Columbia University Medical Center.
"Our results are   3   with the theory that inadequate sleep is a risk factor for depression, working with other   4   and protective factors through multiple possible causal pathways to the development of this   5   disorder," said lead author James Gangwisch.
" 6   quality sleep could therefore be a preventative measure against   7 and a treatment for depression," he added in the study   8   in the Friday issue of Sleep magazine.
The study followed the nightly habits of some 15,659 college and high-school students, and   9 those who consistently went to bed   10 midnight had a 24 percent higher risk of depression than those who turned in before 10:00 pm.
Night owls（夜猫子）also ran a 20 percent   11 risk of battling suicidal thoughts, the study added.
The American Academy of Sleep Medicine   12   that adolescents should sleep at least nine hours or more a night. Those who were tucked in before 10:00 pm reported they slept   13 about eight hours and 10 minutes.
But that amount of sleep   14 significantly for those in bed after midnight.
And adolescents who slept five hours or less a night were 71 percent more   15 to suffer depression and 48 percent more    16 becoming suicidal, the study said.
"It is a common perception and societal   17 that adolescents do not need as much sleep as pre-adolescents, yet studies suggest that adolescents may 18   require more sleep," said Gangwisch.
"Studies have found that adolescents do not go to bed   19 enough to make up for earlier school start times, and transitions to earlier school start times have been shown to be   20 with significant sleep deprivation（剥夺）. "

Don't blame genes for aging facial skin. A new study of twins suggests you can   1   those coarse(粗糙的) wrinkles, brown or pink spots, and dilated(膨胀的) blood vessels on too much time in the sun, smoking, and being overweight.
Because twins share genes, but may have 2 exposures to environmental factors, studying twins allows an, "opportunity to control for genetic susceptibility(敏感性)," Dr. Elma D. Baron, at Case Western Reserve School of Medicine in Cleveland, Ohio, and colleagues 3 in the latest issue of Archives of Dermatology.
Their analysis of environmental skin-damaging factors in 65 pairs of twins hints that skin aging is 4 more to environment and lifestyle than 5   factors.
But when it   6   skin cancer, the researchers say their findings support previous reports that   7 environment and genes affect skin cancer risk.
Baron's team   8   facial skin of 130 twins, 18 to 77 years old, who lived 9   in the northern Midwest and Eastern regions of the U.S. who were 10   the Twins Days Festival in Ohio in August 2002.
At this time, each of the twins also 11   reported how their skin burned or tanned 12    sunscreen(防晒霜), their weight, and their history of skin cancer, smoking, and alcohol drinking.
The study group   13   of 52 fraternal and 10 identical twin pairs, plus 3 pairs who were unsure of their twin status. Identical(同卵的) twins share all of their genes and fraternal twins share only about half.
From these data, the researchers 14 strong ties, outside of twin status, between smoking, older age, and being overweight, and having facial skin with evidence of environmental 15
16   contrast, sunscreen use and drinking alcohol appeared correlated with   17    skin damage.
Baron and colleagues say the current findings, which highlight ties between facial   18 and potentially avoidable 19   factors -- such as smoking, being overweight, and   20   overexposure to the sun's damaging rays -- may help motivate people to minimize these risky behaviors.
