A trial published by The BMJ on Wednesday said the ancient martial art of tai chi had similar or     1     (great) benefits than aerobic exercise (有氧运动) for people with fibromyalgia symptoms. Fibromyalgia is a long-term condition that causes widespread body pain. It may also lead     2     extreme tiredness, muscle rigidity, difficult sleeping and     3     (disappoint). It affects around 2—4 percent of the adult population worldwide. At present, Aerobic exercise is the most     4     (common) recommended nondrug treatment for this disorder.

Tai chi is a     5     (tradition) Chinese mind and body practice that combines meditation (默想) with deep breathing, relaxation, and gentle movements. Past research found that tai chi reduced pain and improved physical and mental health in     6     (patient) with fibromyalgia. However, larger and more precise studies were needed     7     (confirm) the benefits.

A team from Tufts University compared the effectiveness of tai chi with aerobic exercise. They     8     (choose) 226 adults with fibromyalgia,     9     had not participated in tai chi or other similar practices within the past six months. The participants were taught tai chi sessions and aerobic exercise sessions in different forms. This study showed that tai chi is as effective or better for managing fibromyalgia. The researchers therefore concluded that tai chi is another choice in     10     treatment of fibromyalgia.

Testerld Nora Langdon spent many days a week at the Royal Oak Gym, training for lifting contests. She has become a(n)     1     (outstand) idol to people of all ages.

    2     the age of 65, Langdon was determined to live     3     healthier lifestyle. In 2007, she weighed over 210 pounds and often struggled to catch her breath while     4     (go) up the stairs. She knew she had to change.

“On the first day I started going to the gym, I went home that night and told     5     (I) I’d never go back again     6     it was too much for me,” Langdon told Good Morning America. “Then I heard a voice telling me to go back. So I went back and here I’m today.”

As the proverb goes, “no one knows the value of health until he loses it.” From this, we know that health is    1     (true) important to everybody. But how to keep fit? Many people believe that sports can offer people health and pleasure. As far as I am concerned, I think doing physical exercise    2    (have) lots of advantages.

First of all, doing exercise in the morning will refresh my body as well as give me     3     good appetite (胃口) to eat my breakfast. What' s more, the air in the morning is really fresh and clean, so l can keep my mind clear and sound in the class. By doing physical exercise every day I can keep my mind sharp,     4     helps me finish my tasks in time.     5     l do not do any physical exercise for a long time, I will feel tired and my body becomes quite sluggish (浑身乏力). During the night, I may find     6     harder to fall asleep. Last but not least, doing exercise every day will help me to build a better personality. It takes time and patience    7     (do) exercise. Sometimes I just want to give     8    , but my friends encourage me to carry on. Then I feel a lot of satisfaction. Doing physical exercise makes me stronger and     9     (health). That’s my personal experience.

As a student, sports are necessary. You can pick up your favorite sport and do it every day. Only in this way can you build up your     10     (strong) and stay happy.
