2 . Last night was the last game for my eight-year-old son's soccer team. It was the quarter final. The score was two to one, my son's team in the lead. Parents surrounded the playground, offering encouragement.

With less than ten seconds remaining, the ball suddenly rolled in front of my son's teammate Mickey O"Donnel. With shouts of "Kick it!" echoing across the playground, Mickey turned around and gave it everything he had. All around me the crowd erupted (突然发出). He had scored!

Then there was silence. Mickey had scored all right, but in the wrong goal, ending the game in a tie. For a moment there was a deathly hush. You see, Mickey has Down syndrome (唐氏综合征)and for him there is no such thing as a wrong goal. All goals were celebrated by a joyous hug from Mickey. He had even been known to hug the opposing players when they scored.

The silence was finally broken when Mickey, his face filled with joy, hugged my son tightly and shouted, "I scored! I scored! Everybody won! Everybody won!" For a moment I held my breath, not sure how my son would react. I need not have worried. I watched, through tears, as my son threw up his hand in the classic high-five salute and started chanting, "Way to go Mickey! Way to go Mickey!" Within moments both teams surrounded Mickey, joined in the chant and congratulated him on his goal.

Later that night, when my daughter asked who had won, I smiled as I replied, "It was a tie. Everybody won."

3 . Walking with a purpose

Humans were made for walking. With our strong leg muscles, our bodies were literally designed with walking in mind — which is what makes it such perfect exercise.     1     And best of all: it’s a great way to see new things and meet new people!

This month, why not focus on walking with a purpose? Wherever you are, in the city or at the campground, you’ll find plenty of walking going on. Maybe you already love to walk, but you’re getting tired of going your same old route day after day. Or maybe you’re new to walking and aren’t sure how to get started.     2     To get started, sit down with a map and make a plan. Ask yourself, what do you want to get out of walking aside from the health benefits? Do you want to meet other people?     3     Get out into the wild or explore a city? Knowing your priorities will help you decide on the type of walking you want.

If making trends and socializing is your goal, call up your friends and schedule walks with them.     4     Go online and look up your local mall or shopping center. Many malls have groups that come every day, or every weekend, to “walk the mall”. These groups are always happy to include one more walker!

    5     Then tie up your shoelaces and prepare to get to know the place from the ground up! Many of our great historic cities offer detailed and well-planned walking tours. Nearly any city you can think of offers a walking tour with maps provided by the tourist bureau. And small towns generally have a special route that will carry you past its best boutiques, shops, and cafes.

A．See new places?

B．Head for a new city.

C．It’s good for our health.

D．Everyone loves walking and you’re no exception.

E．Ask your friends where they like to walk and go there.

F．Either way, it’s time to embrace the idea of walking with a purpose.

G．Ask local people to get you out of town and into the wild or countryside.

4 . The Vitality Big Half gets underway this morning. It was first launched last year and saw 11 ,000 take part, with the aim of bringing Londoners together and celebrating the diversity of the capital. A festival is being held at the finish line with music, food and activities throughout the day.

The route continues along the south side of the River Thames and circles around Rotherhithe before joining the Little Half runners and travelling through Deptford towards the finish line at Cutty Sark.

5 . 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

According to     1     new study by the World Health Organization (WHO), about 25 percent of adults worldwide do not get enough exercise. Because of this, about 1.4 billion people are       2     greater risk for       3     (dead) diseases such as heart disease and cancer.

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. This is partly because in       9     (develop) areas, desk jobs have taken the place of physical labor and cars     10    (replace) walking.

8 . 阅读下面短文, 在空白处填入1 个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

A swing (秋千) could be important for learning, according to one girls’ school. At Brighton Girls, a private school for children     1     (age) 4-18, a swing is to be installed in the sixth-form study center after some of the teenagers asked for one.

After some research, the headmistress, Rosie McColl, said she discovered a swing would be     2     (benefit). She said, “I knew     3     student in a previous school who used to go out and swing in a park between lessons.     4     (current), what we are doing is bringing the swing into the school     5     (help) build a culture. This leads to better results     6     students in terms of both their wellbeing and academic achievement.”

Recent studies show physical activity can improve brain function as well as calming the mind and body, at a time when     7     (anxious) among teenagers is at record levels. So far, McColl’s decision     8     (support) by parents, including Sam Cartwright-Hatton, a psychologist at Sussex University,     9     wrote a letter to the government before schools returned in September calling for new, more creative lessons to help children settle back into class.

McColl advises students     10     (prepare) for exams over the Christmas holiday to find a swing in a local park between revision classes. “No one is ever too old to go on the swings, to play, to think and to dream,” she said.

9 . For many Americans, regular exercise is a complicated commitment—one made at the beginning of January that fades out within weeks or months. Busy work schedules, a lack of motivation and unease towards exercising in public all contribute to the discouraging statistics that only around a quarter of adults exercise enough per week.

This month, enterptiser Trent Ward and designer Yves Behar are uncovering their design for a mirror fitness system, Forme. Forme is reflective like a mirror, uses machine learning to heighten workouts, and offers attachments including ankle belts, rope handles and a heart rate monitor. When not in use, the two arms that form the resistance pulley (滑轮) system fold behind it and the display screen disappears, turning Forme into a simple full—length mirror.

Interest in home exercise has particularly increased recently around the world. Home workout apps have seen a significant uptick in downloads, and trendy brands like Peloton have rolled out free virtual workouts for everyone stuck indoors. One French athlete who was kept away from others chose to run an entire marathon on his 23-foot balcony.

But beyond the new restrictions affecting daily workout routines, Ward and Behar are tapping into the same concerns that have made every home workout appealing：the ability to save time and sweat in the privacy of one’s home. In an age of personal metrics (衡量标准)--where one can measure their heart rate and sleep cycles with smart watches and train for marathons with AI smart sneakers----Ward and Behar want to improve exercise through machine learning. Forme evaluates performance and adjusts weights accordingly. Easy access to one’s own performance data also makes it easier to track that progress and stay motivated.

Though it’s too soon to tell if mirror gyms will be the trend of the late 2010s to 2020s, Behar explained that having a screen in the home can become the basis for more than just fitness, such as shopping or telemedicine.

1. What does paragraph 2 mainly focus on?.

A．The ways to operate Forme.	B．The features of Forme.
C．The reasons to develop Forme.	D．The theory behind Forme.

2. How can Peloton benefit its users?

A．By offering them online workouts for free.

B．By raising their interest in marathon.

C．By keeping them far away from others.

D．By entertaining them with all kinds of downloads.

3. What makes home workout appealing according to paragraph 4?

A．The better results than outdoor activities.

B．The fresher air at home.

C．The privacy of home.

D．The convenient access to mass data.

4. What is the best title for the text?

A．Can Forme Have More Powerful Functions?

B．Does Regular Exercise Keep up with New Technology?

C．Is the New Trend of Smart Machines at Home available?

D．Is this AI—Powered "Mirror Gym" the Future of Home Exercise?

10 . In the past 70 years, physical activity in America has transformed from a necessity of daily life into an often-expensive leisure(闲暇)activity, and has reformed itself as the basis of people's social position."In the 1950s and 1960s, the body became a problem, and exercise developed — it had to develop-because people realized that we were all going to die of heart attacks," Shelly McKenzie, the author of Getting Physical： The Rise of Fitness Culture in America, told me.

With new middle-class needs coming into new marketing, Jack LaLanne^!s instructional exercise TV show introduced much of the country to the active pursuit of physical fitness in 1951, paving the way for workout tapes from fitness superstars such as Richard Simmons and Jane Fonda.In the 1970s, exercise began to leave the home, both through the popularization of jogging and weightlifting and in more organized ways, such as Jazzercise classes.

No matter how they package it, these businesses aren't just selling physical activity； they're providing people with a way to stick to expectations that the industry itself helped set."Exercise, and especially public exercise, came to indicate mental, emotional, and even spiritual health and virtue," Marc Stern wrote in 2008," In return for the effort, gym-goers attain(获得)the type of body that proves their virtue to all who see them.”

That these physical standards are difficult to achieve is the point."We live in a culture in which being diligent is highly, highly praised," Petrzela, the New School professor, who is working on a book about fitness's place in American culture, told me.

“Many people want to be regarded as people who value exercise, because it shows they're committed to（致力于）self-improvement, and to hard work."Above and beyond movement itself, part of the satisfaction of gym-going comes from performing those values around other people who share them, and from achieving what that community regards as success.

1. Why did exercise develop in the 1950s and 1960s?

A．Because exercise was a necessity of daily life.

B．Because people realized the importance of body health.

C．Because exercise was an often-expensive leisure activity.

D．Because people regarded exercise as the foundation of people's social position.

2. Why do many people like going to gym according to Marc Stern?

A．To keep healthy.	B．To gain good body shape.
C．To show their good character.	D．To prove their social position.

3. What do NOT make people gain satisfaction from going to the gym?

A．Seeing some superstars in the gym.

B．The same values around other people.

C．Achieving success defined by that group of people.

D．Being regarded as people who're committed to self-improvement.

4. What is the text mainly about?

A．How to keep healthy.

B．Why American people want to gain virtue.

C．Why physical activity developed in America.

D．How physical activity developed in America.
