the article:
The idea that people should aim for 10,000 steps daily for ideal health has been around for a while. That's about a 5-mile (8-kilometer) walk for most teens and adults. The 10,000 steps goal is widely recommended by fitness experts. So, that number must be based on lots of research, right? Nope!
The magic number actually came from a marketing campaign that launched just before the 1964 Tokyo Olympic Games.
At the time, a Japanese company started selling a device called Manpo-kei, which means "10,000 steps meter." The name wasn't based on any research data about the health benefits of taking 10,000 steps daily. Instead, experts say, it was just a marketing gimmick. The number was likely chosen because the Japanese character for "10,000" resembles a man walking. Even without scientific research, this number caught on around the globe, and other fitness trackers started using it. Decades later, getting 10,000 steps in daily is fixed in many people's minds as a key to better health. But should it be?
Maybe—or maybe not.
Getting enough exercise is, of course, important. But some experts warn that the 10,000-step goal can be unfavorable. The number can seem too high to achieve every day. Failing to reach it can make people unhappy—so unhappy that they might give up on improving their fitness habits entirely. A study of teenagers showed that they enjoyed having a 10,000-step target. But they became discouraged when they were unable to reach this goal regularly.
Another study showed that people disliked when they had to track steps—they said it felt like work rather than a fun activity. So, what should people do to stay healthy? Experts say to track your steps if doing so provides positive motivation. However, keep in mind there's not actually a certain number of steps that you need to take every day. Just find time to get moving as often as you can.
The article is mainly about the origin and potential drawbacks of the widely recommended goal of taking 10,000 steps daily for better health. It explains that the idea was not based on scientific research but originated from a marketing campaign launched before the 1964 Tokyo Olympic Games. It also discusses how the 10,000-step goal can lead to frustration and discouragement when people are unable to achieve it regularly, and suggests that individuals should focus on finding ways to stay physically active without obsessing over a specific step count.

the article:
NEW YORK, New York (Achieve3000, September 10, 2021). There is a peaceful park in lower Manhattan. Four hundred oak trees stand guard against the hustle and bustle of the city. Birds sing and water splashes gently into two square pools. Each pool is nearly an acre in size and is surrounded by bronze parapets. Nearly 3,000 names are inscribed on the parapets. They are the names of those whose lives were cut short on September 11, 2001.
In September 2021, it will be 20 years since the 9/11 attacks. They were the deadliest terrorist attacks ever committed on U.S. soil. This park honors those who perished. But it also calls future generations to remember that day.
"The sky was just so blue…" Rita Calvo, Student, September 11, 2001
Beautiful. Ordinary. Normal. That's what many New Yorkers remember most about the early morning of September 11, 2001. The sky was bright blue. There were no clouds to be seen. It was unseasonably warm as thousands of people made their way into lower Manhattan to start the workday. Above them, the Twin Towers kept watch, just as they had for more than 25 years.
"Then we heard a really loud crash." Jack Kirkland, Student, September 11, 2001
Brian Clark was sitting at his desk in his office on the 84th floor of 2 World Trade Center. It was known as the South Tower. His back was to the window that overlooked the North Tower. Shortly after 8:46 a.m., he became aware of a glare and turned around. The sky, so impossibly blue just moments before, was on fire.
Though he didn't realize it at the time, Clark was witnessing the first of four terrorist attacks that would be carried out against the United States that fateful day. Nineteen agents of the terrorist group al-Qaeda hijacked four commercial jetliners. They used the planes as weapons. Two planes were flown into the World Trade Center in New York City. One was flown into the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. The fourth plane crashed into a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
"It was like from day to night…" Sofia Lachappelle, Reporter, September 11, 2001
Many of the casualties from the 9/11 attacks occurred in New York City. The steel structures holding the Twin Towers aloft twisted, then buckled from the heat caused by thousands of tons of burning jet fuel. A plume of dust rose high into the sky as each tower fell. The dust plunged through the streets of lower Manhattan, shutting out the sun. When light trickled back into the darkness, the city looked like a moonscape. It was silent, still, gray, and cratered. A burning pile of rubble marked the spot where one of America's most recognizable landmarks had stood.
