A 10-year-old swimmer with sky-high dreams and a name to match them has broken a record previously held by Olympian Michael Phelps.

Clark Kent Apuada, whose friends call him \"Superman\swam the 100-meter butterfly in 1:09.38 at the Far Western Long Course Championships in his home state of California this Sunday. That's a second faster than the record Phelps set at the same event in 1995 with a time of 1:10.48 in the same category of boys under 10.

Clark, a rising fifth-grader who is Filipino-American, told HuffPost he's been dreaming about breaking Phelps' record ever since he started swimming competitively at age 7. \"I was so motivated,\" Clark said about his win. \"I was so happy that I was able to beat that record.\"

Phelps competed in his first Olympics at age 15. He went on to become the most decorated Olympian in history, with 28 medals overall. \"Everyone in the crowd was excited when they realized what a special swim they had just seen when we announced the long-standing record had been broken,\" Cindy Rowland, Pacific Swimming's director, wrote in an email.

Clark won first place for all the swimming events he competed in at this year's Far Western Championships. Pacific Swimming or PacSwim, a regional association that is part of USA Swimming, organizes the Far Western Long Course Championships. Cynthia Apuada, Clark's mother, said that her child seems to be \"living by his name at this point\".

Asked about the champion swimmer's unusual name, she said she'd always loved the name Clark. And her husband's favorite superhero just happened to be Superman.

We all know that regular exercise is vitally important for both a healthy mind and body. Research has shown that just five minutes of exercise in a \"green space\" can help people to keep mentally healthy.

Let's take a look at some ways to get close to nature and make them a part of your regular exercise routine.

Get on your bike

Cycling is a cheap, easy and fun way to get some good exercise in the outdoors. Try leaving your car at home and cycling to work one day, if that's possible. Or get the family together and go on a weekend bike ride. Check out the local cycle paths before you go, and plan a safe route. Make sure you take some healthy snacks with you to keep your energy levels up. Try some outdoor yoga

Practising yoga can be great for reducing anxiety and aiding relaxation, so why not take your yoga mat and try out some asanas (yoga postures) in the open air? Yoga is great for stretching (伸展) tight muscles and increasing flexibility as well as improving mobility, control and breathing. Why not finish your practice with some quiet meditation to further calm the mind? Go running

Instead of spending hours on the treadmill (跑步机) , grab a friend and go off for a jog around your local park, or some nature trails. If you are used to running on a treadmill, you may find it harder at first, so make sure you have some good, supportive running shoes. You could also find out where your nearest Parkrun is. They are open to everyone, free, and are safe and easy to take part in. Join a conservation (保护) group

Joining a conservation group is a great way of keeping fit while helping the world around you. Do some research into what's going on in your local area and you could find yourself helping to plant trees, clear up rivers and so on. You never know it could lead to new friendships, as well as the knowledge that you are doing something productive for your local area!

（1）If you want to cycle with your family, you'd better . A.have a healthy body B.check the bikes carefully C.learn some survival skills D.make good preparations for it

（2）What's the advantage of outdoor yoga according to the text? A.Getting closer to nature. B.Feeling relaxed or peaceful. C.Keeping active and energetic. D.Building up people's bodies.

（3）What problem do some people have if they want to run around their local park? A.It takes them some time to get used to it. B.It needs some patience to continue. C.It makes them lose interest in running. D.It leads them to fall behind their friends.
