2 . 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.

4 . 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.

5 . Why do you run? Different people have different reasons. Whatever your reason, there’s one thing we can be sure of: Running is much better injury-free. In his book, Dr. Jordan Metzl’s Running Strong, Metzl has the perfect suggestions for enjoying your running without losing your well-being. Here are five must-follow rules for injury-free running:

1. Train for your level of fitness and your goals.

    1     If you run for fitness and your goal is 30 minutes a day, that’s cool. But if you are just starting out, you need to get there slowly.

2. Wear the right shoes for your feet.

You will hear lots of opinions about whether running shoes really help prevent injury and whether you should even wear them.     2     And some of you may need a little added assistance from inserts （鞋垫）.

3.     3    .

Be honest about how much sleep you need and stick to it. The cool runner is the one who wins the race. Sleep will get you there.

4. Fuel （给提供能量） your body right for running and recovery.

    4     And after workout or race, you need to deliver nutrients （营养物）to all the body rebuilders in your muscles, so they can do their job and get you back into perfect shape for your run tomorrow.

5. Pay attention to pain.

When pain changes the way you run, stop running.     5     And use dynamic rest （动态休息）to stay in shape until you are back on your running feet.

A．Try to find out what’s going on and treat it.

B．Get seven to eight hours of sleep every night.

C．Running should be seen as fun rather than pain.

D．Don’t run more miles than your body can deal with.

E．A good pre-run meal plan is one that keeps you stepping strong.

F．It is because of the health benefits, including lowering your risk for disease.

G．The right running shoes can help correct foot-movement problems that lead to injury.
