1 . Exercise is an important part of staying healthy — both physically and mentally. Studies show that it can help strengthen the body’s natural defenses against disease.     1     For many people, it is also a part of their daily routine, making them feel better about themselves.

    2     However, because of the current restrictions and social distancing, some ways of exercising have changed or are simply gone. So, people are changing how they exercise during this coronavirus pandemic (新冠疫情).

Those who only exercise indoors might now consider moving their exercise routine outdoors.

    3     “Simply walk outside in nature,” Khabbaza said. “People can use this as an opportunity to exercise in other ways.” But in areas with stay-at-home orders or enforced social distancing, exercising outside may not be as simple as it sounds.     4    

Gyms, recreation centers and exercise studios are not open. So, some people are turning online to exercise. The physical fitness industry is also moving to online training. The Associated Press news agency contacted industry representatives and other people. Beth Berglin is the director of a charitable group in Miami, Florida. Before the pandemic, her exercise routine involved going to actual camp-style classes four mornings a week.     5     Instead, she is staying active through online classes.

A．So people fancy outdoor activities.

B．Now, the area where she trains is shut.

C．But exercise does not just keep us healthy.

D．Getting enough exercise at difficult times is vital.

E．What if people are not allowed to go out due to the pandemic?

F．How do people change their exercise mode from indoor to online?

G．This is the advice of Joe Khabbaza, a heart specialist at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio.

2 . Small amounts of exercise could have a great effect on happiness.

According to a new review of research about good moods and physical activities, people who work out even once a week or for as little as 10 minutes a day tend to be more cheerful than those who never exercise. And any type of exercise may be helpful.

A number of past studies have noted that physically active people have much lower risks of developing depression and anxiety than people who rarely move.

Fewer past studies explored links between physical activity and upbeat emotions, especially in people who already were psychologically healthy, and those studies often looked at a single age group or type of exercise.

So for the new review, the Michigan researchers found, exercise was strongly linked to happiness. The type of exercise did not seem to matter. Some happy people walked or jogged. Others practiced yoga-style posing and stretching. And the amount of exercise needed to influence happiness was slight. In several studies, people who worked out only once or twice a week said they felt much happier than those who never exercised. In other studies, 10 minutes a day of physical activity was linked with happy moods.

But because most of the studies in this review were observational, it is not possible yet to establish whether exercise directly causes changes in happiness or if the two just happen to occur together often. In that case, exercise would not have helped to make people happy; rather, their happiness would have helped to make them exercisers

Walking, if you do it vigorously enough, is the overall best exercise for regular physical activity. It requires no equipment, everyone knows how to do it and it carries the     1     risk of injury. The human body is designed to walk. You can walk in parks or along a river or in your neighborhood. To get     2     benefit from walking, aim for 45 minutes a day, an average of five days a week.

Strength training is another important     3     of physical activity. Its purpose is to build and     4     bone and muscle mass, both of which shrink with age. In general, you will want to do strength training two or three days a week,     5     recovery days between sessions.

10 . How many sports stars can you name? Whether it’s ten or thirty, I believe that 90%of them would be male. Even in today’s society, which calls for gender equality (男女平等) , it seems that female sports stars simply don’t get the same coverage (报道) as male players.

The World Cup is the most widely followed sporting event in the world. According to a report, almost 715 million people watched the final match of the 2006 FIFA World Cup, a ninth of the whole population of the planet. But how many people notice the fact that the FIFA Women’s World Cup has just taken place in Canada? The US team was the winner, after beating the Japanese team 5­2 in the final match. England even got a third place!However, the England team in the men’s World Cup seldom runs to the quarter­finals. While the World Cup enjoys prime­time on most BBC channels, the FIFA Women’s World Cup is put aside. The only time the media made the news was when an English player scored an own goal!

The inequality doesn’t end with football. Just recently, Caroline Wozniacki (a top Danish tennis player) complained that women don’t get the same chance as men to play on the show courts at Wimbledon. In this case, I think it’s the luck of the draw—the further you get in the competition, the more likely you are to play on the show courts. In the opening stages, it is true that often only the best players will play their matches on the show courts. Women’s tennis does get lots of coverage, though many complain that it isn’t exciting to watch.

Many people think the women’s sport is often paid less attention to, but I think this is slowly starting to change. In the UK, there is a campaign called This Girl Can, which aims to get girls and women back into sports, regardless of their age, shape or sporting ability. Hopefully this campaign will encourage more people to take up and enjoy sports, and help to reduce the nation’s health problems.
