5 . The decision on Tuesday by Japan and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to postpone the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games until next summer because of the novel corona virus pandemic (流行病) must have been a hard one to make.

Although the Games have been canceled three times in all, in 1916, 1940 and 1944 — due to the two world wars in the modern Olympics’history of more than 120 years, never before have any Games been postponed to a different year.

Nevertheless,the decision is the right one. If it is not brought under control, the harm done to human society by the pandemic could be more serious and far-reaching than even the two world wars. Given the number of countries affected and social and economic shock waves that have been caused by the rapid spread of the virus,postponing the Games is the only right and sensible choice to make.

After all, nothing is more important than people’s lives. Postponing the Games not only safeguards the health of athletes,audiences and everyone involved in the Games, but also reduces potential transmission of the virus from one place to another. Even looking at it from only a sporting level, the pandemic has already caused huge disruptions (扰乱) to athletes’ training and the qualification process.

It is undoubtedly a big blow for Japan, which has prepared meticulously for the largest sports event in the world, including renovating and upgrading its infrastructure and sports venues, such as rebuilding Tokyo’s Olympic Stadium at cost of$1.45 billion. Japan will suffer huge loss at least in the short term.

The international community owes a big “thank you” to Japan for all it has done for the Games despite the postponement. That’s why the Games will still be called the Olympic and Paralympic Games Tokyo 2020 despite taking place in 2021. The Olympic flame will also remain stored and displayed in Japan.

More importantly,all members in the Olympic family, guided by the Olympic spirit of respect and understanding are morally bound to stand behind Japan to go through this most difficult moment in the Games’ history.

1. What does the word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A．The decision.

B．The Games.

C．The pandemic.

D．The war.

2. How many times have the Olympics been put off to a different year?

B．Two.

C．Three.

D．Four.

3. We know from the passage________.

A．the Games should be put off in times of war and disaster

B．the Games will still be called Tokyo 2020 Games for its sacrifice

C．postponing the Games will have a bad influence on the athletes

D．the Olympic family will have to make up for the loss of Japan

4. What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A．The whole world will support Japan.	B．Japan will keep the Olympic flame burning.
C．Postponing the Games will bring the world hope.	D．Tokyo will become the symbol of the Games.

As a saying go, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” However, it is necessary for us take exercise. By taking exercise we can get physically and mentally relaxing. At the same time, we can have a very well figure. If we don’t take exercise for a long time, we may easily fall sick.

Actually, I enjoy a various of outdoor sports, of which swimming in the sea is mine favorite. Because there are so many swimmer in swimming pool and the water is always dirty, I have a preference in swimming in the sea. Besides, I am also interested in playing the badminton.

8 . There are a lot of benefits to staying physically fit. You’ll have more energy, you’ll look great, and you’ll notice improvements in your health.     1     However, if you focus on exercise, you can make a lot of healthy physical changes.

Find the time. Exercise is one of the most important aspects in staying (or becoming) fit and healthy.     2     Try scheduling your exercise the same way that you schedule other appointments and work. You’ll be more likely to stick to it if it’s on the calendar (日历).

    3     You will see the most benefits from exercise if you do it regularly. One good way to make you stick to it is to pick a form of exercise that you enjoy. For example, if you like swimming, make it a point to swim twice a week.

Go outdoors. It is really good to work out at a gym—without air conditioning and televisions. But scientists report that exercising outdoors, at least part of the time, can have more benefits.     4    

Be social. If you join other people in your exercise routine, you’ll see a positive influence in your results.     5     If you schedule an activity with a friend, you are less likely to cancel than if you were only cancelling on yourself.

A．Make it a habit.

B．Enjoy your exercise.

C．Unfortunately, it’s not always easy to stay in great shape.

D．In a word, it is absolutely good for you to stay physically fit.

E．Finding a workout partner can help you to stick to your exercise.

F．The road or sidewalk challenges your body in ways that gyms can’t do.

G．Experts recommend that you should be active for at least 30 minutes per day.

9 . It is no secret that physical activity is necessary to a person’s well-being. Because children are continuously developing physically and emotionally, they are especially affected by the benefits of activity. Former First Lady Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move initiative reports that nearly one-third of US children are overweight or obese, and that “schools are a key setting for kids to get their 60 minutes of play with moderate activity, given the significant portion of time they spend there.”

Physical education programs in schools directly benefit students’ physical health. Regular exercise promotes muscles and bone development. In addition to participating in physical activity, students in P.E. learn the fundamentals of a healthful lifestyle, the building blocks upon which they can develop into healthy, knowledgeable adults.

Though the lack of attention on P.E. is often justified as an opportunity to spend more time in the classroom, studies show that physical activity contributes to improved academic performance. Regular activity during the school day is strongly associated with higher concentration levels. A statewide policy in North Carolina requires that children from kindergarten to eighth grade participate in 30 minutes of physical activity each day.

Activities in P.E. help children develop healthful social interactions. From a young age, children learn cooperation through group activities and form a positive sense of identity as part of a team. Such group activities are continually important as children grow older. The International Platform on Sport and Development states that sport has been used as a practical tool to engage young people in their communities through volunteering, resulting in higher levels of leadership and community engagement among young people.

The benefits of P.E. to a child’s mental health are both complex and comprehensive. Improved physical health, academics and social interactions all contribute to good mental health. Physical activity sets the stage for a good night’s sleep, provides more energy to participate in hobbies and interact with others.

10 . Yoga is an age-old practice that stretches (伸展) the body and calms the mind. By performing a series of poses(体式), called asanas, you will feel more relaxed. This results in lower blood pressure, a decrease in stress and healthy muscles.     1     With poses ranging from simple to challenging, yoga gives your mind something to think about.

Triangle Pose

Begin in Mountain Pose. As you breathe out, move your left foot about three or four feet to the left side. Lift your arms until they’re parallel with the floor. Stretch your fingertips outward. Then turn your left foot 90 degrees to the left, and turn your right foot about 45 degrees toward your left.     3    

Cat to Cow Pose

This is a great way to loosen a tight back, neck or shoulders. Begin with your palms(手掌) under your shoulders and your knees under your hips(臀部).     4     Then drop the head and neck toward your mat, pull your stomach muscles tight, and round your back up toward the ceiling. Hold that pose and breathe in and out.

    5     Gradually add more asanas to your practice. Before long, you’ll notice a positive change in your body and your mind.
