1 . Physical education, or PE, isn’t required for all high school students. In some schools, it isn’t offered for some different reasons. But should high school students have physical education? The answer is certainly “yes”.

Today many people don’t do sports. But as is known to all. doing sports is very important for an adult. Teaching teens the importance of a healthy lifestyle and making fitness plans now can help teens put exercise in the first place as an adult.

High school isn’t that easy. Many students are under a lot of stress. Stress can be harmful to a student’s studies and life. Doing sports can help them deal with stress better, helping them live a happier life at school.

The American Heart Association says that 10 million kids and teens suffer from obesity (肥胖). Teens should get 60 minutes of physical activity per day to control their weight and to help their bones get stronger. The increase in activities that don’t get teens to move around, such as computer games, means many teens don’t get their required exercise. PE classes act as a public health measure (措施) to encourage physical activities and help teens have healthy weights.

Not doing sports increases teens’ hazard of developing many diseases. An active lifestyle offers a good way of protection from these health problems. As much as 75 percent of health-care spending goes toward treating medical conditions that can be prevented by lifestyle changes, according to the American College of Sports Medicine.

According to the President’s Council on Fitness, Sports and Nutrition (PCFSN), students who performed five hours of physical activities each week improved their academic (学业的) performance. Students from programs with no physical activity, who used the extra time for classroom study, did not perform better on tests than those who gave up some study time in support of physical education.

2 . 阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

In the past, most people exercised every day. They didn’t exercise on purpose. Instead, they exercised by working on the land and by walking everywhere. Now, however, people do not take as much exercise. Many people work in offices or factories where they do not have to move around very much. Now that cities are so big, few people walk to work. They drive or travel by bus or train. With modern telecommunications technology, they don’t have to move around to get messages delivered. What they have to do is just to press buttons on their phones or other devices.

Because of this unhealthy modern lifestyle, many people try to exercise in other ways. Jogging and running are very popular. Going to the gym is also a popular way of getting exercise. Many women prefer to go to aerobic (有氧的) classes at the gym. In these classes, music is played loudly and an instructor shouts out instructions for the exercises. The people in the class run, stretch and jump around for an hour or more. Men and women also do weight training at the gym. They lift heavy weights to build up their muscles.

Although thousands of people do these sorts of exercises every day, some experts believe that they are actually bad for the body. Running on hard surfaces like roads can damage your feet and knees, and aerobic and weight training can be dangerous if the instructor is not properly trained. It’s easy to hurt yourself if you lift heavy weight or exercise hard for a long time.

The experts believe that more gentle forms of exercise are better. They advise people to walk more as it is one of best ways to exercise, and does not damage the body at all. They also suggest traditional Chinese exercises such as Tai Chi because these activities are better for the body than hard, fast activities like running. Tai Chi trains your flexibility and improves your sense of balance. Meanwhile, it has the least harmful effect on your joints and knees.

For 34 years, thousands of runners     1    （take）on the Marathon des Sables, a 140-mile race through the Sahara.     2    (consider) the world’s most difficult race, des Sables takes place over the course of six days through Morocco’s unforgiving Sahara.

At 46, Amy Palmiero-Winter is not what most picture when they think of     3     athlete, but for her, running has been a lifelong passion: an escape, a comfort, a calling. So, when a careless driver crashed into her motorcycle 25 years ago and damaged her left leg, she did everything she could     4    （save）it.

She couldn’t imagine not running. But three years and 25 operations later it became obvious that her leg would never     5    （true）recover. But hardships couldn’t keep her from running. In fact, they may have pushed her     6    （close）towards it. “When something bad happened to me, I went out for a run. It kept me from any darkness.” Palmiero-Winter said. After recovering from her amputation, she tried running again. Struggling     7    low-tech artificial legs, in 2004 she placed second in the Silver Strand Half Marathon. Today, she holds 11 world records and countless awards,     8    （include）the James E. Sullivan Award and others,     9    recognized her as the world’s top amateur athlete nearly a decade ago.

But as her latest     10    （achieve）at the Marathon des Sables shows, she’s nowhere near done.
