1. Most runners pick their routes based on distance or surface type. Some pick flat roads for steady pacing, while others seek hills for a tougher workout. But for Lenny Maughan, running is about creating art — one stride at a time.

*. workout : 운동
stride : 걸음

2. A 12-week randomized controlled trial tested 84 overweight or obese adults. Participants in the group that ate avocados daily improved their attentional inhibition, meaning they improved their ability to ignore aspects of a situation that were not relevant to the task they were engaged in. Those in the avocado group also had increased serum lutein levels.

*. attentional inhibition : 주의 억제
serum : 혈청

3. To help the dogs adjust, Sam placed both on a couch. Reggie quickly flopped down to Pearl’s eye level in a gentle, friendly gesture. Once the formal introduction was done, the dogs were let loose. The pair spent the day exploring the house and backyard, with Pearl dashing back and forth around Reggie’s massive legs. At the end of the day, the exhausted pooches settled back on the couch with their owners and promptly fell asleep.

*. flop down : 털썩 드러눕다
ex)He flopped down on the sofa after work.
let ~ loose : ~을 풀어주다

*. missionary : (외국에 파견되는) 선교사

5. If you're a scientist by trade, rethinking is fundamental to your profession. You're paid to be constantly aware of the limits of your understanding. You're expected to doubt what you know, be curious about what you don't know, and update your views based on new data. In the past century alone, the application of scientific principles has led to dramatic progress. Biological scientists discovered penicillin. Rocket scientists sent us to the moon. Computer scientists built the internet.

*. application : 적용, 응용

6. Mental health refers to our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. The World Health Organization estimates that one in seven teenagers worldwide experiences a mental health condition. Common issues include anxiety, depression, and attention problems. These can affect school, friendships, and self-confidence. Hopefully, the #SpeakYourMIND Ice Bucket Challenge will help more young people realize they are not alone and encourage them to seek assistance.
*. estimate : 추정하다
