China has named 24,126 primary and middle schools across the country as specialist football schools     1     (lead) youth football development, according to the Ministry of Education. It's required that at least one football class     2     (offer) each week in these schools so that they can encourage their students to     3     (active) participate in football training and matches.

“China aims to have 50,000 schools specializing in youth-football by the end of 2025," said Wang Dengfeng, an official of the Ministry of Education,    4     (add) that to realize this goal, the ministry will take various measures that include building school football fields, training football coaches and providing extra funding and policy support.     5     those measures in schools, 47 football training camps have also been built in     6     effort to promote the sport among young people. And outstanding or     7     (gift) players will also have the chance to join inter-school teams for regional     8     (competition) and even national summer camps.

In the past four years, local education departments have trained about 40,000 football teachers, 8,000 of     9     have obtained coaching certificates. Moreover, the country     10     (step) up its efforts in promoting football in schools since it set up a seven-department joint task force, including the education, sport and finance authorities as well as Chinese Football Association.

2 . 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.

2. How can Peloton benefit its users?

4 . Top Four Marathons

Portland Marathon

The marathon welcomes 8, 000 people every fall. It’s a great event for first-timers because everyone is cheered on with enthusiasm no matter how long it takes to cross the finish line. The time limit for the full marathon is now at a pace of minutes per mile, or 6 hours and 33 minutes, but in the past it had an open time limit. They promise you’ll still receive your medal if you fall behind the pace, but you have to finish using the sidewalks.

TCS New York City Marathon

As the world’s biggest marathon, the TCS New York City Marathon attracts over 50,000 people to the Big Apple each November.

The famous course snakes through five boroughs (行政区) of the city and crosses five bridges to end in Central Park.

Honolulo Marathon

The marathon attracts over 30,000 participants each December. The race starts on Ala Moana Boulevard in downtown Honolulu and snakes its way along the breathtaking Hawaiian coastline to the finish line in Kapiolani Park. The start time is at 5: 00 am with finish line services officially open until 2: 00 pm. However, the organizers allow everyone to finish and have waiters on hand until 4: 00 pm.

Boston Marathon

The marathon is held in May every year. For this event running isn’t allowed as the city streets aren’t closed off. Participants must instead make their way along sidewalks under the guidance of event organizers and city police. The event attracts over 8,000 people who can choose anything from three-mile walk to the full 26.2-mile Boston Marathon route.

7 . 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。

One runner didn't let the French government's order    1    (remain) indoors prevent him     2     (train) for a marathon during the coronavirus pandemic(新冠肺炎疫情期间).

Last week, Elisha, a 32-year-old restaurant worker, ran the    3     (long) of a marathon—on his 23-foot long balcony. And he did it in six hours and 48 minutes, a personal record nearly double     4       of his previous finish time.

Although he has run 36 marathons, he said his balcony marathon was the most challenging. “My only pleasure is running,    5     the time,” he told CNN. Due to    6     (limit) space of the balcony, he was unable to gain speed as he had to     7    (constant) turn back and forth. He said he ran about   3,000 laps. Luckily, he said his girlfriend was there to support him. Though his balcony is nothing like the streets of Barcelona, where he was supposed to run the marathon    8       March 15 before it got   canceled, he said   the   experience   was   worthwhile.   Some   people   reached   out   to   say   they    9       (inspire) by him.
