【推荐2】We all know that exercise is good for our health. But some kinds of exercise may be better than others. Running, for example, may help to protect against heart disease and other health problems. Running is good exercise, but it can be hard on the body.     1    .

Take It easy.

Do not run too much, too soon or too fast. Most people get running injuries when they push themselves too bad. The body needs time to get used to increase in distance or speed.     2    

Listen to your body.

Most running injuries do not come unexpectedly (意外地).     3    . They may include body aches, sore muscles (肌肉) and pain that does not go away.

    4    

There is no single best shoe for every runner. You should find the shoe that offers the best fit and support for your feet. More importantly, you should replace your shoes every 500 to 800 kilometers.

Take good notes.

Take time after each run to write down what you did and how you felt. Look for things that happen over again. These notes will help you find the best exercise for you.

Cross train.

As we said earlier, running is hard on your body. So physical fitness experts suggest some form of cross training to improve muscle balance and to help you stay injury free. They say, besides running, swimming, yoga, and riding a bicycle are good exercises.     5    .

A．Get good running shoes

B．Usually, there are warning signs

C．These exercises are easier on the body

D．Running may also help you live longer

E．Muscles and joints (关节) need time to recover

F．Here are five ideas to make injuries less likely

【推荐3】Most young people enjoy some forms of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling, or swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be a game of some forms—football, basketball, hockey, golf or tennis. It may be mountaineering.

Those who have a passion of climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks in high mountains? This astonishment is caused, probably, by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.

Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of different kinds which would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.

If we compare mountaineering with other more familiar sports we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”. We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no “matches” between “teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork.

The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.

A mountain climber continues to improve his skills year by year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty. But it is not unusual for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they perhaps climb with more skills and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.

3. Why does the author think mountaineering is a sport, not a game?

A．Because it has man-made rules.

B．Because it is too dangerous for climbers.

C．Because it can't bring people joy or leisure.

D．Because it is free for climbers to use their own methods.

4. What can we learn from the passage?

A．Mountaineering is not attractive to people.

B．Physical quality is more important than mental one for climbers.

C．A mountain climber passes his best by the age of thirty.
