3 .     1     With our upright posture (姿势), flexible joints, and strong leg muscles, our bodies were literally designed with walking in mind, which is what makes it such perfect exercise. Why not focus on walking with a purpose?

To get started, sit down with a map and make a plan. Ask yourself what you want to get out of walking aside from health benefits.     2     See new places? Explore a city? Knowing your priorities helps decide on the type of walk you want.

If making friends and socializing is your goal, call up your friends and schedule walks with them. Go online and look up your local mall (购物中心), which has groups that come daily to “walk the mall” and are always happy to include one more walker. Similarly, at your local park, you might find open groups of dog walkers who conduct diverse group hikes.     3     In most cities, such walks are going on almost every weekend in support of cancer research and other humanitarian causes.

If lone walks are what you’re after, ask the local tourist authority about local hikes that get you out of town and into the wilderness or countryside. Thanks to the Rails to Trails program, railways across America are being transformed into scenic walking paths.     4    

Headed to a new city? Then tie on your walking shoes and prepare to get to know it from the ground up! Many historic cities offer detailed and well-planned walking tours.     5     And small towns generally have a scenic route that will carry you past its best shops and cafes.

A．Humans were made for walking:

B．Do you want to meet other people?

C．Some tourist offices even provide free maps.

D．They’re a perfect way to explore new territory.

E．Do you expect to get fit and stay in great shape?

F．But remember to stay on the lookout for charity walks.

G．Science uincovered a link between sociability and wellness.
