The Art of War is an ancient Chinese military work written by Sun Tzu,a high ranking military general and strategist in the late Spring and Autumn Period.It is composed of 13 chapters,each of which is devoted to one aspect of warfare.It is commonly thought of as the best

work on military strategies and tactics（策略）of its time,and is still read for its military thoughts today.

The Art of War is one of the oldest and most successful books on military strategy in the world.It has long been the most famous and influential of China's Seven Military Classics.For the last two thousand years,it remained the most important military work in Asia,where even the common people knew it by name.It also has had an influence on Eastern and Western military thinking,business tactics,legal strategy and beyond.

Sun Tzu emphasized the importance of positioning in military strategy,and that the decision to position an army must be based on both objective conditions in the physical environment and the subjective beliefs of other competitive actors in that environment.He thought that strategy was not planning in the sense of working through an established list,but it required quick and correct responses to changing conditions.

The book was first translated into French in 1772 by French Jesuit Jean Joseph Marie Amiot,and a partial translation into English was attempted by British officer Everard Ferguson Calthrop in 1905.The first annotated（带注解的）English translation was completed and published by Lionel Giles in 1910.Leaders as diverse as Mao Zedong,General Vo Nguyen Giap,Baron Antoine--Henri Jomini,General Douglas MacArthur,Napoleon,and leaders of Imperial Japan drew inspiration from the work. 28.According to Sun Tzu, .

Many runners and gym members feel that music makes exercise more enjoyable.However,they might not know that scientists have found that some kinds of music can improve people's energy by 15 percent.This was discovered by Dr.Costas at Brunel University's School of Sport and Education.He has worked with organizations such as Nike and with many champion athletes.In the study,thirty people listened to inspiring music by Queen,the Red Hot Chili Pepper and Madonna.They did exercise at the same time.

When they were doing exercise in time with the music,people showed higher energy levels.Even when they were doing very hard exercise,they were positive about how they felt.When people are doing exercise,their nerves（中枢神经）send messages saying that their body is getting tired.However,when they are listening to music at the same time,these messages are blocked.Dr.Costas thinks this is because the music causes part of the brain to send different messages to the body that make it feel happy and relaxed.

Dr.Costas' work shows that different types of music can have different effects on different people.The effect of some music can also depend on how tiring the exercise is.He says that people who have extroverted personalities prefer faster and louder kinds of music compared to people who have a reserved personality.This is because,for the music to have an effect,the brains of extroverted people need more stimulation than the brains of reserved people. Reserved people want to feel less worried and so have better results when the music makes them feel relaxed.

Dr.Costas was asked to provide music for the 'Run to the Beat' half marathon in the UK,and which has also now started in other countries.'I also have a lot of other exciting projects that I am working on',says Dr.Costas.One of these is to find out whether the speed of the music we listen to
