Do you like walking? Walking plays an important role in both people’s physical and mental health.

On one hand, it is an effective way to burn our calories, so we can stay in shape. On the other hand, walking can release our stress, reduce anxiety. But do we really need to walk 10,000 steps a day?   

The answer is no. This goal was created by a Japanese company that invented a pedometer (计步器). Research shows that walking 8,000 to 10,000 steps a day is best for people under 60, while walking 6,000 to 8,000 steps a day is best for people over 60.

This is because older people need fewer steps to get the same benefits. And the speed of the walk is not significant, what is significant is the total number of steps walked. If you can’t walk quickly, increasing your daily steps can also be beneficial.

Although walking 10,000 steps a day may not be necessary, keeping a suitable level of physical activity is very important for staying healthy. Walking a few thousand steps a day or doing other forms of exercise can bring health benefits. For example, biking, jumping rope, swimming, playing basketball, and so on are all good ways to exercise.

21. Who had better walk 8,000 to 10,000 steps every day?

A．People under 40.	B．People under 60.
C．People over 60	D．People over 80.

22. What does the underlined word “significant” mean?

A．Impossible.

B．Useless.

C．Terrible.

D．Important.

23. What can we infer from the passage?

A．We need to walk as many steps as possible

B．We need to walk as quickly as possible every day

C．Walking isn’t the only way to keep healthy.

D．Elderly people are not advised to swim.

Do you have appearance anxiety (容貌焦虑)? There are some people who pay too much attention to their looks and become less confident about themselves, especially among young people. They often worry about what others think of them. It seems that they’re easily influenced by public opinions. There is a survey on appearance anxiety among 2,000 students, with half boys and half girls.

Major media, such as television, magazines, are full of pictures of people with perfect build, perfect hairstyle and more. Some people, especially young people, see these pictures and ask themselves questions like “Should I do something to change myself?” In order to make them feel better about themselves, some people even change themselves by special surgery (手术) . Happily, more people believe human beings should accept the looks they are born with, grow with them and age with them.

Well, so given all of that, what can we do to overcome appearance anxiety? There’s no denying that we have to learn to accept that no one is perfect at the beginning. Meanwhile, its of great importance for us to have a correct understanding of beauty. Then, we’re supposed to develop some hobbies and be good at finding our advantages. Last but not least, in order to become more confident, trying weakening our disadvantages on appearance in a healthy way is also a wise choice, such as keeping a healthy lifestyle, dressing in a proper way and so on.

24. What do you know about young people from the first paragraph?

A．They are more confident about themselves these years.

B．Most of them don’t care about their appearances.

C．They are easily influenced by public opinions.

D．Most of them have serious appearance anxiety.

25. We can learn from the survey that ________.

A．there are fewer boys having a little appearance anxiety than girls

B．there are more girls having serious appearance anxiety than boys

C．45% of boys have a little anxiety about their appearances

D．45% of girls don’t feel anxious about their appearances
