3．Everyone's at it，even my neighbors．I thought I might be the only person left in the world who hadn't done an eBay deal．So I decided to try my hand at online auction．
Buying for beginners：Sign up on www．eBay．co．uk．Most items （e．g．tables，computers，and books） ready for auction will come with a picture and a short description； others may be marked with"Buy It Now"and have a fixed price．You can buy these right away．
If the item is being auctioned，you offer the highest price you are prepared to pay and eBay bids for you．The bid will be increased little by little until it goes beyond your highest bid，then you are emailed and asked if you would like to bid again．Auctions last up to 10days，and when they finish you get an email telling you whether you have won the item．
How to pay：Sellers decide how they would like to be paid and you need to check this before placing a bid as you might not want to post a cheque or postal orders．The easiest way is through PayPal，an online payment system that takes the money away from your credit card．
Selling made simple：If you plan to sell on eBay，it helps to include a picture of the item．I followed my friends'advice and put up the items I wanted to sell for a 10-day auction，starting on a Thursday．This way buyers had two weekends to bid．
The big things in life：It's easy to post a small item，but furniture is a big part of eBay and this has to be collected or sent by delivery men．Check the ways of delivery before you bid．

15．[1]Whether you're recovering from a foot injury or working hard to prevent one，a proper warm-up before athletic activity is important．You should start with a general warm-up．This is intended to get your heart rate up and your muscle groups warm．Walking，gentle jogging or basic aerobics （有氧运动） are all good places to start．The general warm-up should increase your heart rate and speed up breath so that your blood becomes oxygen-rich and carries nutrients to the muscle groups you're about to work．
[2]After the general warm up，move on to basic stretching，which doesn't require a lot of movement．Stretch your legs，ankles，feet，arms，chest and back．After completing these basic stretches，you can move on to sport-specific stretching．They should focus on the muscle groups you're about to engage and prepare your body for the types of movements the sport requires．
[3]Failure to warm up properly before athletics can result in injuries．So don't forget to stretch your feet and ankles when warming up!Point and bend your feet．Gently roll your ankle in one direction，and then in the other direction．Rise up on your toes and then gently rock back so that your weight is on your heels．
[4]Cooling down after physical activity is just ________________ warming up．First stretch the muscle groups and parts of the body you just worked the hardest．Then move on to general body stretching．And finally，cool down with a gentle aerobic activity that will gradually return your heartbeat to its resting rate．
[5]Properly fitting athletic shoes are also important to preventing foot injuries．Look for athletic shoes specific to your foot type．People with high arches （足弓） should buy shoes which have a lot of support，and people with fallen arches should look for shoes that advertise motion control．Buy your athletic shoes a half size bigger than your normal size as feet tend to increase in size when you exercise．
