There’s another reason to clean those running shoes. 　Energetic exercise may help prevent vision (视力) loss, according to a pair of student from the US Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory .The research offers hope for people trying to find ways of eyes disease.

“Besides getting eye exams , people can take a more active part in protecting their eyesight ,” says Paul Williams, who carried out the research . “The studies suggest people can reduce their danger of these disease by taking part in a fitness treatment that includes enough exercise.”

A cataract (白内障) is the leading cause of blindness. More than one –half of people in the USA over the age of 65 suffer from some of cataracts.

Diseases have several known reasons ,such as sunlight exposure and diabetes(糖尿病) in the case of cataracts. Now ,it appears that enough exercise may be one way to treat the disease.

To carry out the research ,Williams examined information collected in the National Runners’ Health Study , which he set up in 1991 to find out the health help of running.

In this case, he followed about 29 000 male runners and 12 000 females runners for more than seven years. Of these people , 733 men reported being diagnosed (诊断) with cataracts filled out at the end of the study .Too few women reported cataracts to follow.

Men who ran than 5.7 miles per day had a 35 percent lower risk of developing cataracts than men who ran less than 1.4 miles per-day. The study also studied men’s 10-kilometer race performances, which is a good sign of complete fitness.

Longtime CBC broadcaster Russ Germain , earlier host of radio news programs World report and The World at Six, has died at the age of 62. Germain died in Toronto Monday night after a lasting battle with cancer , diagnosed (诊断) after his retirement in 2002.

“ One of his values was to do the best job he could and to tell the truth ,” Germain’s earlier coworker and now World Report host July Maddren said.

Maddren described him as a man of many gifts: a thoughtful friend , a sailor who loved his dogs, had a sense of humor and was among the “best readers of A Christmas Carol” ever.

“He was the real thing ,” Maddren said . “ He was a very handsome man and had this wonderful voice.”

Alannah Campbell, who worked with Germain during the 1990s, said she learned from him the importance of connecting with audiences. “He was a teacher to me. What Russ taught me was if you don’t know about the listener, no one pays attention. So he could make it sound like something I should care about.”

Born in New Liskeard, Ont, Germain attended high school in Toronto and started out broadcasting while studying at the University at the school’s radio station.

After graduating with a bachelor’s(学士) degree in fine arts, he worked for private broadcasters in Winnipeg and Edmonton for several years before joining the CBC in 1973, as a TV and radio evening news announcer in Saskatoon. Over the years , he served as host and announcer for many programs.
