锻炼有一系列的好处。无论你是仅仅在公园里走一段不短的距离，在乡下骑自行车还是去健身房都不仅会让你感到更为精力充沛，还会提升你的整体身体健康状况。积极参加那种能让你呼吸吃力的运动会增加你的心肺功能。另外，经常锻炼会因为促进你的肌肉和骨骼的发展而让你的身体更为强壮，也能帮助你维持一个健康的体重。此外，锻炼对你的心理健康也有好处。首先，经常锻炼需要毅力，没有毅力你总有要放弃的欲望。第二，运动会激励你保持一个积极的、平衡的态度，每个人都有自己的起起落落，成功和失败。参加一项竞技性体育会有助于你明白赢得一场比赛并不能让你比他人更优秀，也会明白失败只是一次暂时的失败，我强烈推荐你立刻开始锻炼。

3 . The Netherlands is the only country in the world with more bicycles than residents. By 2022, the Netherlands has had a total of about 23 million bicycles, with an ownership rate of 1.35 bikes per person. One study published by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) reports that in the Netherlands cycling prevents about 6,500 early deaths each year, and that Dutch people have 1.5 years longer life expectancy (预期寿命) due to cycling.
“The time spent cycling was about 74 minutes per week for Dutch adults aged 20 to 90 years old. The time was fairly stable over adulthood and reached its apex in the early days of retirement, in one’s 60s. The death rate reduction, which was a direct result of the average time spent cycling for a certain age group, was therefore also the highest among the seniors who just retired,” said Jeremy Smith, an expert from NIH.
What is it that makes cycling so beneficial? Obviously, cycling is a form of exercise. It is a great form of cardio (有氧的) exercise, which gets your heart pumping and helps strengthen the heart muscles. Doing cardio exercise may also help lower your blood pressure.
Furthermore, solid evidence proves the link between cycling and better thinking skills. Even younger adults claim that a bike ride helps shift their thinking to a higher level — and research backs them up. In one small study, young men are required to cycle for 30 minutes every day for 3 weeks. They also completed a series of cognitive (认知的) tests before and afterward. After cycling, they scored higher on memory, reasoning and planning, and they were able to finish the tests more rapidly than before.
Besides all the benefits mentioned above, cycling, as many Dutch put it, is a way of life. In their simplest form, bikes are tools for travelling. But they’re so much more. They are cognitive improvement, environmental protection, satisfaction and an expression of freedom. They bring people of the same passion together and connect them to a greater journey of life.

7 . The benefits of exercise have been fully noted and your resolutions have been made. Yes, you want to be fit and live a long and healthy life.
According to standard advice issued by the World Health Organization, adults should be getting at least 150 minutes of moderate physical workout or 75 minutes of vigorous activity per week to extend their lives, get fit, have stronger muscles and be a healthy weight. If that didn’t already sound a lot, the WHO says to double that if you want to get further benefits.
The good news for those who dislike sports is that it’s possible to stick to these guidelines without entering a gym or breaking into a jog.
This idea is in line with evidence from a study last year of more than 130,000 people in 17 countries, which found that walking to work and housework such as vacuuming or mopping the floor are activities enough to reduce the risk of early death by 28 per cent, as long as you do 150 minutes a week. If you aren’t one for housework, you will be pleased to hear that your weekly amount of exercise can be put into the weekend with no ill effects, says Gray Donovan of Loughbirough University, UK.
| A．However, take care not to do too much exercise. |
| B．Most governments urge people to do a little every day, or at least spread their exercise over the week. |
| C．Having a busy weekend with three or four hours spent taking exercise does more good than thought. |
| D．Could you ever get too much of a good thing? |
| E．But what do you actually have to do to get the desired results? |
| F．The WHO’s definition of moderate exercise includes housework and gardening. |
8 . If you think that running marathons will help you live a long and healthy life, new research may come as a shock. According to a recent scientific study, people who do a very strenuous workout are as likely to die as people who do no exercise at all.
Scientists in Denmark have been studying over 1,000 joggers (慢跑者) and non - joggers for 12 years. The death rates from the sample group indicate that people who jog at a proper pace two or three times a week for less than two and a half hours in total are least likely to die. The best speed to jog at was found to be about 5 miles per hour. The research suggests that people who jog more than three times a week or at higher speeds of over 7 mph die at the same rate as non - joggers. The scientists think that this is because strenuous exercise causes structural changes to the heart and arteries(动脉). Over time, this can cause serious effects.
Peter Schnohr, a researcher in Copenhagen, said, “If your goal is to decrease risk of death and improve life expectancy(寿命), jogging a few times a week at a proper pace is a good strategy. Anything more is not just unnecessary, and it may be harmful.”
The implications (暗示) of this are that moderate forms of exercise such as tai chi, yoga and walking may be better for us than “iron man events, triathlons and long - distance running and cycling. According to Jacob Louis Marott, another researcher involved in the study, “You don't actually have to do that much to have a good impact on your health. And perhaps you shouldn’t actually do too much”.

9 . We all know about the health benefits of swimming. It offers a great workout for the body—it builds muscle strength and cardiovascular (心血管) fitness. If you don ‘t mind getting wet, it can be fun, too.
Cold-water swimming, sometimes called wild swimming, involves swimming in natural areas including ponds, rivers and the sea. Jumping in gives a short sharp shock to the body, but many participants say they have got used to it.
But what is it that people are gaining from this cold experience? Doctors say getting into cold water causes a stress response, but when you do it more, your reaction to stress will be reduced. It’s also thought to have a strong calming effect.
So, if you’re convinced that this is for you, take this advice: approach it with caution, swim with a friend, and maybe start in summer, when the water temperatures are higher!
| A．It’s really amazing. |
| B．A cold dip might wake you up. |
| C．The water temperature is a bit higher. |
| D．When did you swim in the river last time? |
| E．But who would enjoy swimming in icy water? |
| F．Cold-water swimming helps cure certain health problems. |
| G．There are bigger benefits to this stress-reducing exercise, though. |
1. What does the new research show about years’ long running?
| A．It could make our life longer. |
| B．It could make our life shorter. |
