1 . One of the biggest reasons people drop an exercise program is lack of interest.     1    . The good news is there are tons of different sports and activities to try to see which one inspires you.

When picking the right type of exercise, it can help to consider your workout personality.     2     If so, solo sports like running, biking, or snowboarding could be for you. Or do you like the shared motivation and companionship that comes from being part of a team? School sports, intramural leagues, club teams, and pick-up games are great ways to stay active with others.

    3    . For example, whether your chosen activity is affordable and available to you (Activities like horseback riding may be harder for people who live in cities, for example.) You’ll also want to think about how much time you can set aside for your sport.

It’s a good idea to talk to someone who understands the exercise, like a coach or fitness expert at a gym.     4    

Doctors know that most people benefit from regular exercise, even those with disabilities. If you have a health problem or other concern (like being overweight or very out of shape), talk to your doctor before beginning an exercise plan.

Considering the benefits to the heart, muscles, joints, and mind, it’s easy to see why exercise is wise.     5     Even small things can count as exercise when you’re starting out -like taking a short bike ride, walking the dog, or raking leaves.

A．Without fun, it is hard to keep it up.

B．You also need to plan around practical considerations.

C．You have to make a list of your favorite exercises, too.

D．He or she can get you started on a program that’s right for you.

E．Different types of exercise can strengthen different muscle groups.

F．And the great thing about exercise is that it’s never too late to start.

G．For example, you may like to work out alone and on your own schedule.

2 . Swim safely!

Swimming is great exercise, and a trip to a pool or beach is a good way to have fun with friends in summer.     1    , so it’s important to stay safe as you do it. Here are a few things you can do to swim safely.

    2    . Don’t swim unless there is a life guard at work. If you’re on a beach near the ocean, this is especially important. In some places fast-flowing water can move swimmers away without warning. So if a sign says “no swimming”, pay attention to it.

Be careful when diving（跳入）into the water headfirst.     3    . In natural water, don’t dive unless you know that the water is deep enough. Or you could hurt your head on the bottom, causing injury or death.

Around water, adults should watch children at all times to make sure they are safe. Those who don’t know how to swim should wear life jackets. But by themselves they are not enough, so an adult should always be present. If you have to rescue a child from drowning（淹）,a few seconds can make a big difference.

Make sure you have a friend with you whenever you swim.     4    , that person can make sure you get help.

Drink a lot water. The sun’s heat   and the physical activity may make you sweat（出汗）more than you realize.

By following these simple rules, you can make sure your swim time is safe as well as fun.     5    !

A．That way if something goes wrong

B．Now get out there, and enjoy the water

C．Swim only in areas set apart for swimming

D．Make sure everyone in your family swims well

E．But sometimes swimming can also be very dangerous

F．Most pools have marked deep ends where diving is safe

G．Many children who drown in home pools were out of sight within minutes

3 . Photography（摄影） is a very popular art form. Anyone with a camera – or a mobile phone – can practice it.A picture communicates in a way that words often can’t. As the photographer Destin Sparks put it, “Photography is the story I fail to put into words.” And there’s no better chance to practice the art of photography than during our vacation time.

Holiday photos have been a part of the culture of travelers for a long time.For decades, vacationers have made sure they’ve packed a camera along with bathing suits, Hawaiian shirts and sunglasses.

Of course,travel companies have caught on to this. Trekksoft has an example of photo-tourism from the United States, a land with a vast choice of beautiful locations. Antelope Slot Canyon Tours in Arizona specializes in tours of the state’s famous canyons（峡谷）, which gives photographers the chance to capture them on camera.

Most of the tourists are able to make beautiful images with just their mobile phones. Still, help is on hand from the tour guide for those who aren’t great at using their cameras.These tour guides have taken a course in photography in case the skills they’ve learned would help their customers.

8 . 语法填空

The Li River f situated in Guilin City of Guangxi, is a bright pearl on the list of China’s tourist     1     (attract) and it is one of the best sightseeing tours in Guilin. The 83-kilometer waterway from Guilin to Yangshuo is the greatest work of the Li River,     2     (decorate) with rolling hills, steep cliffs, beautiful caves, boats and lined bamboos. Han Yu     3     (clear) described the beauty of the Li River in his poem: “The river looks like a blue silk ribbon, and the mountains resemble emerald hairpins (发夹)”

The poetic and picturesque Li River     4     (come) from the Mao’er Mountains at Xing’an County in the northeast of Guilin. It winds     5     (it) way for 170 kilometers, passing through Guilin.

9 . I love travelling, but it hasn’t always been my passion. In my first year of university, I started to travel during the holiday. During the Christmas holiday I went to Paris, and during the spring vacation, I visited Athens and various cities in Italy. I was very excited because this was the first time I had travelled abroad with just my friends. This desire to travel started off simply as a way to have something to look forward to after exams, but I soon discovered how important it is to travel.

On my travels I have had the opportunity to not only experience new and exciting cultures through the art, history, language and food, but also communicate with people who have different views on life. Travelling is a learning experience for both yourself and the people you meet. Some people I met during my travels had never heard of Gambia and it was very delightful to share my African roots with them. When you travel you will meet people who have different cultural backgrounds and as a result, sometimes your own ideas and opinions might be challenged. Ifs important to learn to see things from other people’s perspectives (观点) and to challenge your own.

This is how I realized that travelling is the realization of home. When you I ravel you are exposed to a different setting, a different language and a different way of living. All these factors, mixed with a new and exciting adventure，make you realize your own home. Not just the physical location of home, but also your way of life and your outlook.

Travelling is truly an enriching experience and I am always excited about the discoveries that wait for me in my next adventure!

10 . If you’re a gamer who’s constantly glued to your phone, it could be time to ask for medical help.

On June 18, 2018, the World Health Organization（WHO）officially listed “gaming disorder” as a mental health condition.     1    

“Video gaming is like a non-financial kind of gambling （赌博）from a psychological point of view,” Mark Griffiths, a professor from Nottingham Trent University in the UK, told the Associated Press（AP）. “Gamblers use money as a way of keeping score, while gamers use points.”

    2    “People need to understand this doesn’t mean every child who spends

hours in their room playing games is an addict, otherwise doctors are going to be flooded with requests for help,” Joan Harvey, a spokeswoman for the British Psychological Society, told AP.

    3     For example, a 21-year-old Chinese woman surnamed Wu in Guangdong province went blind in one eye after playing the mobile game King of Glory for a whole day. “On days when I have no work, I usually get up at 6 am, eat breakfast and play until 4 pm,” she told the South China Morning Post.   “Then I’ll eat something, have a nap（小睡）and play until 1 am.”

Wu isn’t alone. According to a study published by China Youth Daily, about one in five young Chinese people play online video games for at least four to five hours per day.     4     In April, the Ministry of Education issued a notice asking Chinese schools and parents to prevent students from becoming addicted to the Internet and games.

Other countries have also taken action.       5     Meanwhile, in Japan, some mobile phones have a special mode for children that lets their parents control what games they can download and how long they can play.

A．This means it’s now on the same list as other mental illnesses.

B．Thankfully, measures have been taken to deal with the problem.

C．We often see people around us playing games on their mobile phones.

D．In South Korea, children are forbidden to play video games after midnight.

E．WHO’s main work is to improve the mental health of individuals and society.

F．But if you lose control over your gaming habits, you’ll face serious problems.

G．However, it doesn’t matter if you play your favorite game now and then.
