Returning to a book you've read many times can feel like drinks with an old friend 感觉像跟一位老朋友喝酒. There's a welcome (令人愉快的)familiarity — but also sometimes a slight suspicion 怀疑 that time has changed you both, and thus the relationship. But books don't change, people do. And that's what makes the act of rereading so rich and transformative 有改造能力的.
The beauty of rereading lies in the idea that our bond with the work is based on our present mental register. It's true, the older I get, the more I feel (the) time has wings (the more 比较级...; the more 比较级.... 越。。。就越。。。). But with reading, it's all about the present. It's about the now and what one contributes to(作用于,贡献于) the now because reading is a give and take between author and reader. Each has to pull their own weight (pull sb's weight 做好自己的分内事).
There are three books I reread annually 一年一次地. The first, which I take to reading every spring 非限制性定语从句, is Ernest Hemingway's A Moveable Feast. Published in 1964, it's his classic memoir 大事记,地方志 of 1920s Paris. The language is almost intoxicating (令人陶醉的), an aging 年迈的 writer looking back on 回顾 an ambitious yet simpler time. Another is Annie Dillard's Holy the Firm, her poetic 诗一般的 1975 ramble (随笔) about everything and nothing. The third book is Julio Cortázar's Save Twilight: Selected Poems, because (of) poetry. And because (of) Cortázar.
While I tend to(tend to do sth 倾向于做某事) buy a lot of books, these three were given to me as gifts, which might add to the meaning I attach to 赋予 them. But I imagine that, while money is indeed 的确 wonderful and necessary, rereading an author's work is the highest currency a reader can pay them. The best books are the ones that open further as time passes. But remember, it's you that has to grow and read and reread in order to better understand your friends.(it ...that.... 强调句)

Race walking 竞走 shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely contributing to 导致 fewer injuries. It does(此处用于表示强调), however, have its own problem.
Racewalkers are conditioned(condition v. 训练) athletes. The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50-kilometer race walk, which is about five miles longer than the marathon. But the sport's rules require that a race walker's knees stay straight through most of the leg swing 摆动 and one foot remain in contact (接触) with the ground at all times. It's this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity, however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass.( it... that....强调句。such a/an + adj +n 如此。。。)
Like running, race walking is physically demanding 要求高的, she says. According to 依据 most calculations, race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories (卡路里) per hour, which (此处which指代前面整个句子) is approximately twice as many as (同级比较。 A is twice/triple/ four times as high/old/ adj. as B ) they would burn walking, although fewer than running, which would probably burn about 1,000 or more calories per hour.
However, race walking does not pound(pound v.用力击打;连续砰砰地猛击) the body as much as running does, Dr. Norberg says. According to her research, runners hit the ground with as much as four times(...的四倍) their body weight per step, while race walkers, who do not leave the ground, create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step.
As a result 结果, she says, some of the injuries associated with 与...相联系 running, such as runner's knee, are uncommon among race walkers. But the sport's strange form does place considerable stress on 对...施加了巨大的压力 the ankles and hips, so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport. In fact 事实上, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced 有经验的 racer to learn proper technique 学习适当的技巧, she says. It takes some practice.
