5 . Sitting around doing nothing used to seem like one of the safest activities possible. Then a few years ago scientists discovered that sitting all clay causes harmful changes that increase your chances of meeting an early end. Even regular workouts didn't fix the ill effects of having your bottom in a chair all workday. Suddenly, sitting became public health enemy number one. However, a new research finds that tiny bursts of intense activity are enough to protect your body from the worst effects of your couch-bound lifestyle.

In the research, the scientists closely observed eight young, healthy volunteers as they sat around. On the first day of the experiment they simply lounged for six hours. On the second day they got up every hour and engaged in five rounds of four seconds of intense workouts on a specialized bike.

"Twenty seconds total exercise an hour sounds like nothing, but the data showed it made a big difference to the subjects' bodies. In short, they didn't exhibit the usual ill effects of having sat all day. This study is small, but it's still both hopeful and relevant. The results suggest that breaking up sitting with frequent exercise can undo some of the effects of being inactive," explains Gretchen Reynolds.

"While the study used a special type of bike developed by sports scientists, the researchers feel similar results are obtainable with home exercise equipment. However, you may have to work for a few more seconds to reach the same level of intensity. You should try to get your heart pumping to its maximum as quickly as possible to ensure the effect. When you find yourself sitting for most of the day, try to rise frequently and move as often during the day as possible and for as many seconds as you can manage," Reynolds concludes.

1. What does the new research find?

A．Regular workouts can extend your life.

B．Sitting all clay can cause permanent harm.

C．Sitting is a worst enemy for people's health.

B．Reaching maximum heart rate should be the aim.

C．Working out at home is much less effective.

D．20 seconds' exercise is far from enough.

4. What can be the best title of the passage?

A．The Worst Health Problem Is Solved

B．Intense Activities Are Beneficial to Health

7 . Shooting down an ice-covered track, a bobsled can go faster than 80 miles an hour.     1     The answer is a combination of athletics and science.

At the start of a race, the crews push their sled, building up speed before they jump in for the ride. For months before the race, the crew members have built up explosive power in their legs. That means doing a lot of jumps, and sprints. It also means pushing heavy sleds! The push is the crew's only chance to add speed.     2    

The design of the sled's runners (滑板) reduces their friction with the ice.     3     They may not melt enough ice fora fast ride. Runners that are too rounded may become too warm, softening the ice and slowing the sled down.

    4     The rules state that all runners must be made of the same type of steel, and crews may polish them using only approved materials. Before each race, officials check the temperature of the runners. Runners may not be more than a few degrees warmer than the ice.     5    

But remember the sled must not be too fast — the crew still needs to be able to reach the bottom safely.

A．Why do people go for the sport?

B．Crews polish their runners for a fast ride.

C．The riders sit inside a hard shell, called cowling.

D．How do bobsleds go faster than cars on a highway?

E．A hot runner will melt more ice and may possibly go faster.

F．Runners that are too flat would spread the friction over a wide area.

G．All other work goes into keeping other forces from slowing the bobsled down.

9 . These days, football is one of the most popular sports in the world.    1     It was then known as cuju, a game using a ball of animal skins with hair inside. Football as we know it today started in Great Britain, where the game was given new rules.

The basis of the popularity of football may be that it is such a simple game to play.     2     You don’t need expensive equipment; even the ball doesn’t have to cost much money. All over the world you can see kids playing to their hearts’ content with a ball made of plastic bags; just like Pele did when he was a boy.

    3     It is fun enough to attract millions of people. You do not have to be a fan to recognize the skill of professional players or to feel the excitement of a game ending with a surprising twist.

What’ more, football has become one of the best ways for people to communicate: it does not require words, but everyone understands it.    4     Take, for example, the famous football game on Christmas Day 1914. World War I had broken out months before, but British and German soldiers put down their guns and played football together—one moment of peace to remember during years of conflict.

    5     However, in the eyes of Bill Shankly, the famous footballer and manager, it is   much more important than that. This might sound funny, but one only has to think about the Earth to realise that our planet is shaped like a football.

A．It is also a game that is very cheap to play.

B．It is fairly easy to understand when you start watching.

C．Some people believe football is a matter of life and death.

D．It is played in 208 countries and it has about 4 billion fans.

E．It breaks down walls and brings people together on and off the field.

F．The history of the game goes back over two thousand years to Ancient China.

G．Another factor behind football’s global popularity is its excitement on the field.
