2 . Most people in their eighties would consider themselves lucky not to have health problems, but this is not the case with Toshisuke Kanazawa. The 82-year-old Japanese bodybuilder is not only in perfect physical condition, he also looks better than a lot of men a quarter his age.

Kanazawa is living proof (证明) that you’re never too old to hit the gym and achieve the body you’ve always dreamed of. A champion bodybuilder in his youth, Kanazawa stopped exercising completely after he retired at age 34, drinking, smoking and eating whatever he liked. It wasn’t until he turned 50 that he got his motivation to regain the perfect body of his younger years.

Kanazawa’s wife felt sick frequently, and the former bodybuilder remembered that she had never been happier than when he won the national championship. So to please her, he decided to return to the gym and completely change his diet.

His workout schedule had to be adjusted to his age as well. In his youth, he would spend up to six hours training in the gym every day, and his body would recover within two days after a particularly intensive (强化的) workout, but that was not the case anymore. He cut the daily gym time to three hours and started giving his body one week to recover after exercising every muscle group.

Kanazawa’s efforts paid off. In 2016, at the age of 80, Kanazawa defeated many opponents and placed sixth in the world in a contest for bodybuilders over 65, and won the admiration of the crowd.

Sport keeps this elderly man healthy, as he claims not to have suffered so much as a cold since he started bodybuilding again at age 50.

“I want to be a super old man in the bodybuilder community,” Kanazawa said, “If I have a goal, I can continue moving forward. I have to work much harder.”

1. What can we learn about Kanazawa from Paragraph 2?

A．He started bodybuilding at the age of 34.	B．He seldom exercised when he was young
C．He had serious health problems in his childhood.	D．He developed an unhealthy lifestyle after he retired.

2. Why did Kanazawa decide to take up exercise again?

A．To help change his diet.	B．To cheer up his wife.
C．To stand to his promise.	D．To recover from illness.

3. What did old Kanazawa do while rebuilding his body?

A．He took the same workout schedule.	B．He turned to the doctors for advice.
C．He combined relaxation with exercise.	D．He spent over six hours training every day.

4. What can be the best title for the text?

A．Bodybuilding: No Age Limit	B．Champion: The Result of Workout
C．Exercise: The Best Medicine for Illnesses	D．Understanding: A Guarantee of Happiness

3 . 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。

China’s taijiquan has become     1    (increasing) popular as a form of mind-body exercise and stress reduction, especially among young people. Song Fei,     2     was the former female champion of a fitness model     3    (compete) in Beijing, has been sharing the changes in her body and mind after learning taijiquan on lifestyle-sharing platform Xiaohongshu. Song Fei told that as pain started to develop in her legs, she thought it was time     4    (look) for some correctional treatment and taijiquan     5    (come) up in her search result. Besides     6    (practise) it each morning now, she also weaves(编入) elements of the Chinese martial art into her fitness courses.

“When I first started, it was quite boring and I had to practise     7     same set of movements for nearly two years. But it’s a process of reconnecting all     8    (part) of my body.” Gradually Song started to feel a sense     9     calmness. She explained that in the gym she would listen to music or think about other things while working out because each exercise was repetitive. Yet in taijiquan, each movement was flowing and she had to constantly stay     10    (focus).

8 . At an age where many of his contemporaries are winding down, Jo Schoonbroodt is somehow speeding up. On Sunday, the 71-year-old from the Netherlands, ran a marathon in 2hr 54min 19sec to become the fastest septuagenarian (70-90 年龄组) in history.

A few days later, when the Times catches up with him, his achievement is still sinking in. “I only started jogging at 36 because my doctor told me I had high cholesterol (胆固醇),” he says. “But last year I ran 7,242 kilometres, which is more than double what I did in my car.”

But the secrets of his success might surprise you。 “Most runners train too hard. I do a lot of my training with groups who run very slowly. And then I build on these basics with some faster interval training.”

Schoonbroodt often runs at 9-or 10-minute mile pace, far slower than the 6.38min / mile he ran for 26.2 miles to set his world record, but he says the crucial thing is that he listens to his body. “A lot of people follow a training plan or coach and push on even when their body is saying: ‘No, this is not a good day to do it.’ But if you go out the door and just do what you feel, it’s easier to keep running and stay injury-free.”

Being a late bloomer (大器晚成), he believes, has actually helped him because his ego (自我意识) never had to worry about chasing faster times of his youth. “Because I started so late, I missed my best years. But that’s no problem. Everything is still new to me.”     

Schoonbroodt, meanwhile, has no plans to put his feet up. “My next marathon is in two and a half weeks, on an old Roman road built 2,000 years ago,” he says, the excitement obvious. It will be his third in 2023. And with that he is off. After all, the quest (追求) for another sub-three-hour marathon waits for no man. Not even one who is 71.

1. What message does Schoonbrodt’s story carry?

A．It is never too late to run.	B．More haste, less speed.
C．Time waits for no man.	D．An earlier bird catches the worm.

2. What is the secret behind Schoonbrodt’s success?

A．He competed with slower runners.

B．He made full use of the intervals.

C．He trained in line with his condition.

D．He ran faster in the races than in trainings.

3. Why is being a late bloomer helpful to Schoonbrodt?

A．He can draw lessons from other runners.

B．He has no youthful success to think back to.

C．He can equip himself with new running skills.

D．He has a strong desire to make up for the lost time.

4. How does Schoonbrodt talk about his next marathon?

A．He is unsure of winning it.	B．He is eager to participate in it.
C．He has no plan to enter for it.	D．He will not run it in three hours.

10 . Being fit and healthy doesn’t mean you have to work out for hours a day and eat nothing but chicken and vegetables for every meal.     1     The following are some of them.

You always complain you are too busy to go to the gym or to prepare a healthy meal.     2     You should start to put your health and fitness in the first place today. You can work out in the park and cook your favourite food after work. What you should do first is stop making excuses all the time.

You should walk more instead of driving a car when going out. The key to lifelong fitness is to simply be more active and walk more every day. Try your best to walk whenever and wherever you can —to the superstore, to the office, or go for an after-dinner walk with your family.     3    

Instead of always going to the movies or watching TV, you should take part in activities that keep you moving. You can go for a bike ride, go on a hike, or go to play sports with your family and friends, such as ping-pong and basketball.     4     Not only will you get moving, but also you will have fun.

    5     Many people underestimate the importance of a good night’s rest, but having a good rest each night is important for your health. Therefore, try to sleep seven to eight hours a night on a regular basis.

A．The list is endless.

B．Find ways to be close to nature.

C．Enough sleep is especially important.

D．Of course it’s not always possible to go to the gym.

E．However, for your health, you have to make a change.

F．In short, take every chance to walk as much as you can.
