19、 But they didnt use the logo right away. It took 30 years to see the four rings for the first time. BMWBMW was founded in Germany in 1916. The business logo of the company is easily recognized by anyone. Nevertheless the true meaning is a bit controversial(有争议的). According to one side of the story,

26、rview to medical school, thus will not be entering school for September 2009. My immediate reaction was one of extreme disappointment and angermostly directed at myself for not working hard enough, for not seeking out the opportunities necessary to have a good application, for simply not being good
27、enough. My mind was full of hopelessness and despair that left me with no desire to further seek for the dream that Ive held for quite a time now.During the past week two things happened. At church our pastor(牧师) mentioned perspective in a section of his sermon (说教). He stated that when we take our
28、eyes off ourselves and realize Gods greatness, our circumstances will be seen through a new perspective.The second thing that reminded me to look at perspective was reading a book. The Mitford Series is so good if you are looking for books to read. So last night I was reading and one of the main cha
29、racters (who is a priest) is trying to figure out what to say at church. His sermon ended up saying “In everything we give thanks.” It is easy to 第页 6give thanks when we feel successful in life.

32、 wants to be a doctorD. The author cant really free from the disappointmentDIf you think that running marathons will help you live a long and healthy life, new research may come as a shock. According to a recent scientific study, people who do a very strenuous workout are as likely to die as people
33、who do no exercise at all.Scientists in Denmark have been studying over 1，000 joggers (慢跑者)and non-joggers for 12 years.

34、. The best speed to jog at was found to be about 5 miles per hour. The research suggests that people who jog more than three times a week or at higher speeds of over 7 mph die at the same rate as non-joggers.

Anything more is not just unneces
36、sary, and it may be harmful.”The implications (暗示)of this are that moderate forms of exercise such as tai chi, yoga and brisk (轻快的)walking may be better for us than “iron man” events, triathlons and long-distance running and cycling.
