Nowadays, many of us track our steps with smart watches, pedometers (计步器) or phone apps and are of course thrilled when we reach that all-important daily goal of 10,000 steps. You might_______that this number has appeared after years of research.
The_______number ''10,000'' dates back to a marketing campaign_______shortly before the start of the1964 Tokyo Olympic Games. A company began_______a pedometer called the Manpo-kei: ''man'' meaning 10,000, ''po'' meaning_______and ''kei'' meaning meter. It was hugely _______and the number seems to have stuck. Many buyers are appealed by the new device.
Since then, studies have_______the health benefits of 5,000 with 10,000 steps and, not _______,the higher number is better. But until recently, all the_______between hadn’t been studied. I-Min Lee, a professor of________at Harvard Medical School, and her team________a group of more than 16,000 women in their seventies. Each woman spent a week________a device to measure movement during________hours. When they________the women up an average of four years and three months later, 504 died. How many steps do you think the people alive had been doing? In fact, the average number for________was only 5,500 but not 10,000.

It's surprising that such a small________could have consequences for longevity (寿命).
However, physical conditions________from person to person, and we should do it wisely. So count if you find it ________ you, but remember there’s nothing special about 10,000 steps. Set the goal that is________for you.
