How cold is too cold for a jog? For most people, belowfreezing temperatures generally put a stop to outdoor exercise, but Siberian native Boris Fyodorov is not most people.Minutes after the calendar ticked over to 2014 this past New Years Eve, Fyodorov set off on a solo, outandback marathon run from his home in the Siberian village of Oymyakon, completing the 26.2mile course — his first marathon — in just over five hours. During the run he experienced temperatures as low as －38 ℃.And that was just the way he wanted it. “I heard about other marathons around the globe, naming themselves ‘the coldest’， like the most recent North Pole marathon with runners going at －28 ℃，” Fyodorov told the Siberian Times.“I thought surely this cannot be right. Our Oymyakon is the coldest inhabited place in northern hemisphere. Why dont we arrange a marathon here？”Oymyakon is widely considered to be one of the coldest places on the planet, and its recordlow temperature of －68 ℃， recorded in 1933, is tied for the coldest recorded temperature for any inhabited place on Earth. The average January temperature in the area is －50 ℃.Not only did Fyodorov finish the marathon in high spirits, but he also wants it to be colder the next time he tries it. “I really want to organize the next Oymyakon marathon in January when the air goes down to －50 ℃ or －60 ℃，” he said.,[阅读障碍词]1．jog n．慢跑2．marathon n．马拉松3．inhabited adj.有人居住的，有人烟的4．hemisphere n.半球5．in high spirits情绪高涨，精神好　Please match the words with their proper meanings.1．significance　 　A．not in the place where people expect you to be, or the time that you are away2．compete B．the quality of being significant3．honour C．an act of trying to do something, especially something difficult4．absence D．try to gain something and stop someone else from having it or having as much of it5．delighted E．belonging to the present time6．attempt F．very pleased and happy7．tradition G．a belief, custom, or way of doing something that has existed for a long
