When it comes to       4     (exercise) more, experts say that people needn’t go to the gym every day. There are other ways to exercise. For example, we can take the stairs instead of taking an elevator. And standing on one leg for 30 seconds each day       5     (be) also good for our health.

The study also found that women are less active than men because       6     tend to spend more time at home taking care of       7     (child) and doing housework.

Countries with higher incomes showed higher rates of inactivity. For example, people in Kuwait and the United States exercise less       8    people in Uganda and Nepal.

My dad is an enthusiastic(狂热的) runner who     1    (great) influenced me when I was young. So I was very sporty before the age of 14. However, when my family moved, my new school didn’t pay much attention     2    sports and had no after­school activities like football or running. Over the next few years, I stopped exercising apart from during Physical Education lessons at school. I looked like I was     3    (health); however, I was not.

One day, I was late for a bus, tried to run after it and in under a minute was out of breath! This made me realize how unfit I was.     4    (help) myself get in shape again, I made a(n)     5    (decide) that I would take up a kind of sport.

The students also turn up on time—Ling now has the best     6    (attend) record in the country at 98 percent.   The turnaround had been achieved by simply making PE fun. Instead of     7    (climb) wall bars and running on the spot, the pupils practice exercises such as moving like animals. One routine involves crawling around the floor like a bear and moving around like gorillas.
