7 . Improving as a runner is about more than just running all of the time. You need to pay a little attention to details and make a smart training plan.     1    , no matter what your sport, race, or running habits.

Alternate easy and hard runs to build strength rapidly. It is common for runners to push themselves about the same amount each time and gradually increasing difficulty.     2    . It is during these difficult runs, when you really push yourself, that your body snakes the most significant gains. Don’t feel like an easy day is “cheating”. Rather, it is helping rebuild and relax the muscles needed for your big runs.

    3    . You want to keep your chin (下巴) up and your shoulders back, with loose, relaxed arm and hand muscles. Your elbows are bent at 90 degrees but swing freely. If anything, the only muscles you want to focus on keeping strong and tight are the ones in your core (核心). That’s because this will naturally help you efficiently channel energy.

    4    . A higher body temperature ensures your muscles are loose and flexible, and your body is pumping blood effectively throughout. For everything other than easy runs, use the first five to ten minutes to build a light sweat and get your body ready for exercise. Even five minutes of walking is a good way to get started. Slowly pick up speed for short 10 second runs, and then return to normal warm-up pace.     5    .

A．This helps prepare your muscles for speed

B．Children are often advised to start running at an early age

C．Keep a relaxed but strong upper body to conserve energy efficiently

D．There are two individual sports available, running or tennis

E．Use your light run to work up a light sweat.

F．In that case, you can make large improvements as a runner in a relatively short time

G．Outstanding runners, however, alternate an easy run with a very challenging one

8 . Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely contributing to fewer injuries. It does, however, have its own problem.

Race walkers are conditioned athletes. The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50-kilometre race walk, which is about five miles longer than the marathon. But the sport’s rules require that a race walker’s knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact with the ground at all times. It’s this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity, however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University.

Like running, race walking is physically demanding, she says. According to most calculations, race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories (卡路里) per hour, which is approximately twice as many as they would burn walking, although fewer than running, which would probably burn about 1,000 or more calories per hour.

However, race walking does not pound the body as much as running does, Dr Norberg says. According to her research, runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step, while race walkers, who do not leave the ground, create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step.

As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with running, such as runner’s knee, are uncommon among race walkers. But the sport’s strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips, so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport. In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique, she says. It takes some practice.

1. Which is the best title of the passage?

9 . For people suffering from depression, there’s an all-natural treatment they should use — getting more exercise. It could help fight depression, even if people have a genetic risk, new research shows.

For the study, researchers collected information from nearly 8,000 people and found those with related genes were more likely to have depression over the next two years after examining them. But that was less likely for people who were more active at the study’s start, even if they had a family history of depression. Higher levels of physical activity helped protect even those with the highest genetic risk of depression.

Both high-intensity (高强度) exercise and low-intensity activities were associated with a reduced risk of depression. Adding four hours of exercise a week could lower the risk of a new episode (一段经历) of depression by 17%, according to the study. “Our findings strongly suggest that, when it comes to depression, being physically active has the potential to remove the added risk of future episodes in individuals who are genetically risky,” said lead author Karmel Choi. “On average, about 35 additional minutes of physical activity each day may help people to reduce their risk and protect against future depression episodes.”

Depression is a common mental illness globally, with more than 264 million people affected. “Depression is so ubiquitous, and that underlines the need for effective approaches that can impact as many people as possible,” Choi said. And mental health and primary care providers can use the findings to advise patients that there’s something meaningful they can do to lower their risk of depression.

1. How did the researchers reach their conclusion?

A．By analyzing a mass of data.

B．By conducting genetic research.

C．By comparing various levels of activity.

D．By tracking the subjects for many years.

2. What does the study show about depression?

A．Physical activity betters medical treatment.

B．Exercise is able to decrease and prevent it.

C．Different levels of exercise intensity matter the same.

D．Exercising 35 minutes daily is the most effective treatment.

A．Harmful.	B．Complex.
C．Unusual.	D．Common.

4. What is the purpose of the text?

A．To discuss a disease.

B．To introduce a method.

C．To analyze a genetic risk.

D．To explain a phenomenon.

10 . 阅读下面材料, 在空白处填入 1 个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

My dad is an enthusiastic (狂热的) runner who     1     (great) influenced me when I was young. So I was very sporty before the age of 14. However, when my family moved, my new school didn’t pay much attention     2     sports and had no after-school activities like football or running. Over the next few years, I     3     (stop) exercising apart from during Physical Education lessons at school. I looked like I was healthy; however, I was not.

One day, I was late for a bus, tried to run after it and in under a minute was out of breath! This made me realize how unfit I was.       4     (help) myself get in shape again, I made a(n)     5     (decide) that I would take up a kind of sport.

A friend of     6     (I) suggested a swimming pool close to my house     7     she goes to a few times a week. Now, I’m a swimming lover! I find swimming in the pool is very     8     (relax). I swim for     9     hour three times a week. I hope I will soon start to feel the benefits of regular exercise, and will become     10     (fit) than before.
