3 . 短文改错

One of my hobbies are running. I really like running, so first of all it's very cheap. It doesn't cost you some money. You can do it anywhere, as example, on a city street. If you run a lot, maybe three or four time a week, you will definitely stay in shape. After you run, it's very important drink some water. You should drink a little the water before you run and maybe you should drink a little as well when you run, especial if you ran for more than 30 minutes. Naturally, stretches are very important. Most people actually stretch before they run and I like to stretch after I run.

It is good to see that today more people have realized the importance exercising and are playing sports regular. But the problem is that there are not enough sports facilities to meet the public growing demand. I love playing basketball and often play with my friends on weekends. Therefore, it is difficult to rent a basketball field and possible to find a free one. It seems that all courts in the city were always full. Weather permitted, we can play in outdoors. But on rainy days or in winter we have to turn to indoor courts. There are not much in my city, and the charge is high. The government should build more public sports facilities, so easier access will encourage more people participate in sports.

During the 1970s and 1980s, the term “extreme sports”     2     (use) for sports that were often dangerous and could result in injury or even death.

Extreme sports cover a wide     6     (vary) of activities. Some extreme sports have developed     7     a familiar activity, like mountain biking. Some extreme sports may not be well-known.

It’s nothing new that physical activity leads to better health. But for the     1     (one) time in 10 years, the US government has changed its guidance on how much exercise people need    2     (stay) healthy and when they should start.

The new guidance states children as young as 3 need to be     3         (physical) active. Dr Diroir says the most important time for children to begin exercising is between 3 and 5, and     4    children in this age group need at least three hours of activity every day.

10 . Doing “clean” exercise

When you go for a run outside, chances are that you'll find litter all around you. Do you just go past it, or do you stop and pick it up? If you choose the latter, you're part of the latest fitness trend that's sweeping the West: plogging.

    1    

Running - especially marathons - is often associated with good causes. And plogging, which combines environmentalism with fitness, has become the new poster boy for the environmentally-friendly runner. All a plogger needs is a trash bag, and ideally a pair of gloves to protect their hands.

    2     ,but it sheds light on(使清楚显现) serious environmental issues. “When I usually walk through the streets of New York, the sight of newspapers, lost hats, and shattered (打碎的) glass doesn't bother me,” Matthew of Men's Health magazine wrote. “    3    .”

While collecting garbage, ploggers learn to classify and dispose (处理) it correctly too. Laura Lindberg, a plogger who lives in New Jersey, US, always keeps a note of what she's collected in her mind. This way, she knows what can stay in her trash bag and what can go in a nearby recycling bin.

According to the Swedish fitness app--Lifesum, a 30-minute plogging session(一次) burns around 288 calories, compared to 235 calories burned from just jogging.     4    . “You get the added benefit of carrying a few extra pounds, and you're bending over and doing squats (蹲伏), which is a move that's fundamental (重要的) to your everyday life. You’re getting a full body workout,” he told finance website Moneyisb.

    5    . Your body and the environment will thank you.

A．The process of collecting garbage is simple

B．So the next time you go out jogging, why not carry a trash bag and collect some liter along the way?

C．The amount of garbage, otherwise, strewn (散布) across the sidewalks and along the pavement was kind of shocking.

D．The word “plogging” combines the phrase “pick up” with the word “jogging”.

E．It may be difficult to measure the sense of self-satisfaction, but the health benefits of plogging are easy to see.

F．Plogging becomes a clean and fashionable Running.

G．American therapist (治疗专家) Charles F. Porter also analyzed the additional actions a jogger needs to take for garbage collection
