It adjusts you to your surroundings，making you feel alive.Of course，the threat of smog in some builtup areas is a further hurdle to winter exercise. Heart attacks，strokes，lung cancer and asthma are all dangers of running in smog. The combination of air pollution and exercise increases the potential problems.If you do choose to run outside on smoggy days，take a path in a park or residential area to avoid car exhaust (廢氣)，and go early in the morning, before rush hour. But staying inside on smoggy days and waiting for the next clear day to run is best.語篇解讀本文是一篇說明文，主要介紹了冬季戶外跑步的意義和方法。冬季戶外跑步能燃燒更多的熱量，讓肌肉更強(qiáng)健，心臟更健康，但是應(yīng)當(dāng)避免在霧霾時(shí)進(jìn)行戶外活動(dòng)。5How
