Many people run for exercise.But what will you do if you are not a"born"runner or jogger (慢跑者)?You may still want a kind of exercise that's inexpensive and easy to do.Why not try walking?

Walking requires no special equipment (装备).It is a kind of exercise that almost any normal,healthy person can do.Walking is good for your health like jogging or running; it will just take longer.Jogging and running make your heart work harder than walking.They also put more stress on your legs and feet than walking does.

The problem with walking is that most people don't take it seriously.But there's a big difference between serious walking and the walking that most of us do.Walking,like jogging,should have a steady and continuous motion (稳健而持续的动作).

If you want to get your exercise by walking,you need to have your own walking plan.After all,runners and joggers set goals for themselves.Walkers need goals,too.You also need to set a course to walk.Start by walking about 15﹣30minutes a day.Increase your time and distance (距离) slowly.And try increasing your walking speed little by little.

If you prefer to jog or run,follow the same advice.Start off slowly.Spend most of the first few days just walking.Then,start walking and running on the same day.Run or jog a short distance,then walk for a while,then,run,then walk.Follow that pattern for 15﹣30minutes a day.Slowly make each run longer and each walk shorter.Later on,you can increase your distance,speed and exercise time.

51.将划线短语 a"born"runner 译为汉语.  

52.列举两条Jogging和running对身体部位的影响.

1)make  

2)  

53.回答问题.What's the problem with walking?  

54.选出作者关于步行健身的两种建议,将字母代号填写在答题卡上.

A.Have a walking plan.

B.Walk fast at the beginning.

C.Start by walking an hour a day.

D.Increase distance and speed little by little.

A

The website www.lifehacker.com connects people to helpful recourses.Here's the webpage on"The best places to…"

Keep a wireless router(路由器)

On a bookshelf

Situate it on a desk or a tall shelf in a central location in your house.A router works best when put high,since it sends signals(信号) in all directions.The worst place to have a router:in the kitchen.Metal things can also weaken or stop its signals.

Solve a problem

In the shower

Simple tasks,like lathering up(抹肥皂),may allow the mind to run free and have creative

thinking.In a science study,those who completed a simple task between solving creative problems performed better on the problems than those who completed difficult tasks or no task at all.

Hide valuable items

In the kid's room

Find a place in a young child's room,where you can put away valuable items.Put emergency cash(应急现金) in an envelope inside a toy which is no longer played with,like a teddy bear on a high shelf.

Add a houseplant

To the bathroom

Plants are important in your living space,but you probably haven't thought to put one next

to,say,your shower.They can make indoor air clean,and they're helpful for small spaces like

bathrooms.Ferns(蕨类) are a good and cheap choice in a bathroom.

31.According to the passage,you'd better hide your jewellery  

A.in the kitchen B.in the living room C.in the kid's room D.in the bathroom

I have tried to write a ghost story that won't make you unhappy with yourselves,with the seasons,or with me.I hope it haunts your houses pleasantly.

Charles Diclens

One Christmas Eve,old Scrooge and Bob were working busily in his office.It was a cold,foggy day.The fog was so thick that he houses opposite were like ghosts.It was only three o'clock in the afternoon,but it was already quiet dark.

"Merry Christmas,Uncle!God bless you!"cried a happy voice,It was Scrooge's nephew."

"Bah!"said Scrooge."Humbug!(骗人的话)"

"Christmas is a humbug!Surely you don't mean that,Uncle."said his nephew.

"I do,"said Scrooge."Merry Christmas!What reason have you got to be merry?you're poor."

"OK,then,"replied the nephew cheerfully."What reason have you got to be sad?You are rich.Don't be angry,Uncle!!"said his nephew.

"What else can I be?"answered the uncle,"I live in a world of fools!Merry Christmas!What's Christmas time to you?It's a time for paying bills without money.It's a time for finding yourself a year older,but not richer.Everyone who goes around saying‘Merry Christmas'should have his tongue cut out.Yes,he should!"

"Uncle!Please don't say that!"said the nephew."I've always thought of Christmas time as a good time,a kind,and a charitable,happy time,And so,Uncle Christmas has never put any gold or silver in my pocket,but I think it has done me good.And it will do me good.And I say,God bless it!"

Bob,standing in the comer of the room,applauded(鼓掌).He realized his mistake very soon,and went quickly back to his work,but Scrooge hand heard him.

"One more sound from you,Bob Cratchit,"said Scrooge,"and you'll celebrate Christmas by losing your job!"

"Don't be angry with him,Uncle.Come and have dinner with us tomorrow."

"No."said Scrooge.

"I'm sorry you don't want to celebrate Christmas.But I do,So a Merry Christmas,Uncle!"

"Good afternoon!"said Scrooge.

"And a Happy New Year!"said his nephew.

"Good afternoon!"said Scrooge again.
