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.

1. According to Paragraph 2, what does physical education in high school mean?

A．Making teens attach importance to ęxercise later.

B．Removing the stress faced by teens at school.

C．Getting teens to encourage adults to exercise.

D．Helping teens learn to make good plans

2. What does the underlined word “hazard” in Paragraph 5 mean?

A．Happiness.

B．Risk.

C．Safety.

D．Sadness.

3. According to the PCFSN, doing sport          .

A．means making students choose between sports and studies

B．helps students make good use of all their time

C．means students adjust to their studies better

D．helps students do better in their studies

4. What is the text mainly about?

A．Why high school students should receive physical education.

B．Why some schools consider physical education important.

C．How schools can help students love doing sports.

D．How high school students can live a better life.

4 . It is very obvious that some of the world's top-performing athletes have and feel something deep inside their core that regular athletes simply don't.     1     and are constantly pushing themselves to become better than yesterday. These athletes are the types of people that inspire and motivate other people to really give it their all and if you analyse them you will see that no matter how great they are, they are constantly trying to improve something new that is going to take them to the next level.

First of all, the pursuit (追求) of health and fitness should always start with goal setting.     2    , they have an exact picture of what they are trying to reach and they make sure that their goals are concrete and measurable, so they always have an idea of how far they are from their goals.

These athletes don't limit themselves when it comes to their health accomplishments.     3     even though they really don't know how they are going to reach them at first. They know that by setting high goals their motivation levels will explode and they will be even more fired up to find a way that will make them reach their “impossible” goals. For these guys, nothing is impossible when it comes to health and fitness.

    4     They push themselves as hard as they can and constantly try to reach new levels of success. For the outside world, it might be hard to understand how they can push themselves this hard, but for these super athletes, it is just a game.     5     that they don't even see it as work, they see the whole thing as fun.

A．Last but not least, they are extremely excited and driven by their goals.

B．They always give it their all.

C．Their goals excite and motivate them so much

D．They try their best to shape their bodies

E．Compared to regular athletes who don't set concrete (具体的) goals and monitor them

F．This is what really fuels and drives them when training

G．They set really high goals

5 . Rachel sat on the back steps, pounding her fist into her softball (垒球) glove and staring at the old tire swing in the backyard. Tryouts for the softball team were next week, and she desperately needed someone to act as catcher while she worked on her pitching (投，击). Unfortunately her father was away on business, and her mother was embroiled in final exams. Her mother was so wrapped up in studying that she barely had time to eat. Rachel wondered what to do as she woefully stoked her dog Kit.

Her grandfather came around the comer of the house and stopped when he saw Rachel. “Why the long face?” he asked. “Pitching tryouts are next week. Grandpa,” she explained. “And I need to be in top form-four girls are trying out for only three pitching positions. But there's no one around who can practice with me.” She tossed the softball to Kit, who smartly leapt into the air and easily caught the ball with her teeth. Kit eagerly ran back to Rachel and placed the ball at her feet.

Grandpa offered to help. Rachel swallowed hard. Her grandfather had injured his hip and had to stay in a wheelchair now. She certainly didn't want to cause him further injury by hurling fast pitches at him, but how could she refuse his offer without hunting him?

Her grandfather slowly moved his wheelchair into the backyard and told Rachel to stand where he pointed. Rachel obeyed quickly, and Kit followed her. “Take a look at that tire swing. Rachel. It looks like the batter's (击球手) strike zone, wouldn't you say?” asked her grandfather. Rachel eyed the swing and nodded slowly. She said, “So if my pitch makes it through the tire, I'm almost certainly throwing a strike. Everything else is probably outside the strike zone.” Her grandfather smiled and added, “We can always raise or lower the tire to simulate (模拟) the strike zones of taller or shorter batters.” “But what about a catcher?” asked Rachel. “I don't want to keep fetching my own pitches.” “I've got the perfect solution to your problem,” said her grandfather, who moved forward to throw Rachel's softball across the yard. “Go get it, Kit!” he shouted. The excellent dog ran after the ball, picked it up in her jaws, end bounded back with her prize. Rachel gave him a grateful hug and said, “Grandpa, I think my chances of making the team just improved one hundred per cent!”

9 . On Wednesday, nearly 300 kids will take part in the National Spelling Bee. Fewer will make it to the following day’s semifinals, where one mistake means elimination(淘汰). I’d bet that many of them will be silently praying—not on the first word. I knew it because I was there 17 years ago.

I was 14 year old then. My mother and I had flown from Kentucky to Washington, but she was no strange to the capital. My older sister had already competed at nationals.

When my sister was 14 and I was 12, we trained together. We began with the Suggested List given out at school—hundreds of words printed on a poster that folded up like a map. When the words along the creases(折痕) began to disappear, we bought additional spelling bodes.

Sometimes my mother tested us, reading words most English teachers wouldn’t know how to pronounce, let alone my Indian-born mother. When she pointed out the misspelled words, I blamed her accent for my errors!

When it was my turn, I approached the microphone and waited for my first word.

The announcer was somewhere to my left, a man who pronounced clearly. “Barbican,” he said.

It seemed that my competitors were secretly complaining at the relative ease of my word. Would they laugh at me if I couldn’t spell it? Would my mother be disappointed in me? That last syllable could go two ways: C-A-N or C-O-N. Which one was right? Finally I decided on C-O-N.

Of course, I was eliminated and guided to the Comfort Room, where parents couldn’t enter. Inside, recent losers were sitting around a table abundant with junk food.

We casually mentioned the words that defeated us, like a special ceremony to welcome each new arrival. Then we changed the subjects if we’d already moved on from missed words and lost opportunities.

Eventually, I went out and saw my mother.

“Well,” she said, “I guess you won’t be doing this again.” Yes, next year I would be 25 and not allowed to take part in the competition.

10 . Being a parent is already a life-changing experience. However, this 40-year-old dad_______an astonishing transformation after a hike with his kids.

The dad from Missoula, Montana then was_______to get into shape.

He started by giving up drinking and_______a ketogenic diet(生酮食法). Every day for five months straight, he would hike for two hours and spend one_______hour at the gym.

After 150 days of a strict diet and lots of________, Peterson lost 92 pounds. Not only that, he can now run________up the hiking trail that once made him extremely exhausted.

Peterson now uses his story and fitness expertise to coach and________almost 100,000 social media followers---but he says that his kids are the real________for his success.
