2 . Make Your Fitness Resolution Stick

Last year, the most common New Year’s resolution was fitness-related. A study showed that approximately 50 million Americans swore to increase activities and lose weight.     1    , success was hard to achieve. Two months later, only 37 percent of people in their 20s and 16 percent over age 50 had kept to their new fitness habit.

    2    , the benefits of such a change are clear. There is no question that exercise plays a role in the prevention and treatment of many diseases. Weekly exercise routines have been shown to reduce rates of depression and anxiety, lessen risk of heart attacks and strokes, and reduce the high rates of diabetes.

    3    . It’s suggested that 150 minutes per week of moderate intensity exercise like swimming, or 75 minutes per week of intense exercise, like jogging, should be the minimum amount exercise needed to achieve maximum medical benefit if you stick to it.

Often, the best way to increase your exercise is to involve movement in your everyday life. On average, urban citizen who go to work by bike or public transportation are fitter than suburban citizens who drive to work.     4    . They are good ways to increase the amount of your movement every day.

Whether you determine to work out at your local gym three times a week, take 10,000 steps a day or give your dog an extra walk every day, what matters most is not your commitment to exercise but your sticking to it.     5    .

A．While behavior change is tough

B．Although they had good intentions

C．However hard they try to make up their mind

D．There is always one type of exercise that you are fond of

E．Besides, taking the stairs instead of the elevator also helps

F．So commit to something you love and keep to your fitness habit

G．The best form of exercise is the type that someone will consistently perform

As it is known to us, fewer and fewer students do sports regularly, what makes them weak and easily tired.

There are many reasons about this. First of all, some of the students complain that they have too many homework, result in less time to take exercise. Beside, some of them think that it is very difficult for them to keep doing exercise, because it is very hard thing.

For lack of physical activities, many students were in poor health. I suggest that our school must take measures to encourage more students to take part in sports. For us students, no matter what busy we are, it is necessary to spare some time to do exercise.

5 . Starting a fitness program may be one of the best things you can do for your health. Physical activity can reduce your risk of chronic disease, improve your balance and coordination, help you lose weight,    1    . As you begin your fitness program, keep these tips in mind:

Start slowly and build up gradually. Give yourself plenty of time to warm up and cool down with easy walking or gentle stretching.    2    As your stamina (耐力) improves, gradually increase the amount of time you exercise. Work your way up to 30 to 60 minutes of exercise most days of the week.

    3    You don’t have to do all your exercise at one time, so you can weave in activity throughout your day. Shorter but more frequent sessions have benefits to your heart, too. Exercising in 10-minute sessions three times a day may fit into your schedule better than a single 30-minute session.

Be creative. Maybe your workout routine includes various activities, such as walking, bicycling or rowing. But don’t stop there.Take a weekend hike with your family or spend an evening ballroom dancing.    4    

Listen to your body. If you feel pain,shortness of breath, dizziness or nausea, take a break.    5    

A．Break things up if you have to.

B．and even improve your sleep habits and self-esteem.

C．Stick to your fitness schedule strictly.

D．Then speed up to a pace you can continue for 5 to 10 minutes without getting overly tired.

E．You may be pushing yourself too hard.

F．Find activities you enjoy to add to your fitness routine.

G．and even improve your range of motion.

I often went for a morning walk because the nature is at her best in the morning. The best place I like to go is the park where is not far away my house.

My morning walk protect me from illnesses and improves my healthy. In my opinion, the morning walk is too healthy that I can’t love them more.

8 . Girls should take part in competitive sport to build confidence, the leader of a group of girls’schools will argue this week. Helen Fraser, director of the Girls Day School Trust (GDST), will tell the group that sport can help girls cope with failure.

“All girls and not just the sporty ones should take physical exercise”, Ms Fraser will say. Research that girls are far less active than boys is worrying, she argues. Ms Fraser will tell the group that she backs “sport for all”. “That’s why I love it when our schools have A, B, C and D teams and beyond”, she will say.

The GDST draws on research from the Women’s Sport and Fitness Foundation which suggests only a quarter of girls in England meet basic levels(水平)of activity each week. One in five girls do no activity at all, twice the proportion (比例)of boys, the research suggests.

Ms Fraser says other research suggests that more than 80% of women business leaders played sports while growing up. She uses the examples of US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, once a skater and tennis player, while the head of the International Monetary Fund, Christine Lagarde, was in the French national swimming team. Ms Fraser says Olympic medallists like Jessica Ennis, Katherine Grainger and Nicola Adams are excellent role models for young women but says women’s sport needs more money and more news reports.

Valerie Dunsford, head of Sheffield High School, part of GDST, said it was important to offer a large number of sports to attract different types of girls. “Not everyone wants to be out playing the hockey (曲棍球)”, said Ms Dunsford.

1. Which of the following ideas would Ms Fraser agree with?

A．Those taking part in the sport are always failures.

B．More should be done to make girls do sports.

C．Girls are less confident than boys.

D．Boys are born to be sport lovers.

2. What’s the proportion of boys who never take exercise?

A．1/10.	B．1/4.
C．1/5.	D．2/5.

3. Ms Fraser mentions those famous women to show ________

A．hard work will pay off.

B．it’s not easy to be great.

C．sport can help girls to succeed.

D．it’s necessary to balance work and sport.

4. What’s the purpose of the text?

A．To explain the key to success.

B．To show the importance of sport.

C．To introduce more games to girls.

D．To encourage more girls to do sports.

9 . 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。
Jonny: Hey! I’m just practicing Tai Chi(太极). Would you like to join me?
Peter: I know nothing about it. Is it difficult?
Jonny: It seems easy, but you need a lot of practice. You just follow me like this.
Peter: OK. Don’t laugh     1     me. I may look funny.
Jonny: Bend your knees slightly and reach out your arms like tree branches, naturally and     2    (soft). Try to keep your body straight. Move slowly, then be sure to keep your balance and don’t let your body shake.
Peter: I cannot control my body well. My legs become     3    (pain).
Jonny: Keep     4    (hold) your position for a while. It helps develop your strength and flexibility. Raise your leg and let     5     stay in the air for seconds.
Peter: I feel my legs shaking. I cannot do this any longer.
Jonny: Be patient! Tai Chi     6    (call) “shadow boxing” in English. It asks you to act like water: to be flexible as well     7     strong. In real competition, a Tai Chi master borrows the strength of the competitor and uses this energy to fight back. The     8    (hard) you try to beat him, the more likely you will get hit. He controls you!
Peter: Unbelievable! Oh...,    9     you don't mind, I'll stop and take a deep    10     (breathe).
