迁: 迁移，搬家。
        战国的时候，有一个很伟大的大学问家孟子。孟子小的时候非常调皮,他的妈妈为了让他受好的教育. 花了很多心血。当他们住在墓地旁边时，孟子就邻居的小孩一起学着大人跪拜、哭嚎的样子,玩起办理丧事的游戏。妈妈看到了，就皱起眉头说:"不行!我不能让我的孩子住在这里了。”于是带看孟子搬到市集旁边去住。
        到了市集,孟子又和邻居的小孩,学起商人做生意的样子。一会儿鞠躬欢迎客人、一会儿招待客人、 一会儿和客人讨价还价，表演得像极了! 妈妈知道了，又皱起眉头说：“这个地方也不适合我的孩子住。”
        他们又搬家了，这一次搬到了学校附近。孟子开始变得守秩序、懂礼貌、喜欢读书。这个时候，孟子的妈妈很满意地点着头说 :“这才是我儿子应该住的地方呀!”

One of the questions that many of us have about exercise is "should it hurt?"

Some people agree with the old saying: "No pain, no gain," which means if it's not hurting, you're not improving.

But is that really true?

When it comes to weight training, some experts tell people that they should train "until failure" for best results.

This means they keep lifting or training until their body cannot physically do any more.

However, others say that this approach is not suitable for everyone.

"If somebody wants to increase muscle mass as much as they possibly can, then training to failure is something to consider," said Michael Zourdos, from Florida Atlantic University, who has done research into this subject.

He and his colleagues found that lifting weights "until failure" may build bigger muscles, but isn't needed to increase strength.

He said people who work out hard, but don't push themselves to exhaustion, will still likely improve their fitness.

For the average person just looking to increase their fitness levels, Zourdos said it's easier to get results.

He said that these people would benefit from a hard session that comes within five to 10 repetitions of failure, rather than training to complete exhaustion.

He also said "failure training" often makes people so sore that they miss their next session.

Overdoing it can sometimes be harmful — and people who are planning on doing strenuous exercise should see a doctor first.

James Fisher, a sport science expert in the UK, says that resting muscle groups is an important part of training.

But he agrees that if people want to build muscle, they need to push themselves.

"If you lift a weight you can easily lift 10 times or more, you never really work hard enough," he said.

Still, Fisher said that the best workout is "one that people will actually do," regardless of how hard they push themselves.
