When you’re on a journey to improve health and fitness，surely following the exercise and nutrition advice of a hot model is the way to go, right? Wrong! 1. The first step to longterm fitness success is to be honest with yourself.
♦ 2.
Begin to become aware of the language you use. When you say you don't have enough time to exercise, check in with yourself to make sure you're being honest. Could you be using your time better? Do you really have absolutely no free time at all?
♦Too tired to exercise?
Unless you’re a professional athlete it’s unlikely that your body is ever too tired to train. However, it could be neurological (神经的）tiredness that’s talking you out of it. 3.You need to battle this type of tiredness head on. The secret is to give your brain a break and let your body have a workout. When you’re feeling mentally tired，walking can help you absorb the fresh air and feel grounded yet disconnected from all the pressures.
♦Routine or no routine?
So regular walking is good. But is fixing a regular exercise routine necessary too? The trick is to find out what works best for you. If routine makes you feel balanced, then by all accounts create a workout plan. 4.
♦Set goals.
Be honest with yourself and realistic about where you are and where you expect to be. If you're just starting out, set short-term goals (every few days) so you can experience success sooner and more often. 5. All too often people quit too quickly when the journey is too long.
A.Identify your free time.
B.Listen to your body or not?
C.But be prepared to continue to set new goals regularly.
D.It’s called the brain drain, coming from mental

高三英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析
The new year is the moment when people vow to improve their fitness. They join gyms, swear off alcohol and adopt healthier diets. These resolutions usually do not last beyond January.
But some employers try to help their workers stick to their goals by offering “wellness” programmes. One of the longest-running examples began in 1979 at Johnson&Johnson (j&j), an American health-care company. The plan promotes weight loss, smoking quitting and efforts to reduce blood pressure. The firm claims it reduced medical costs by $400 an employee per year, and resulted in fewer workers suffering from heart disease or high blood pressure.
Yet an examination of the data by Martin Cherniack of the University of Connecticut found that in 2005-08, a sharp jump in alcohol use, depression and stress among j&j employees occurred. This coincided with a period when the firm had a target of lifting productivity by 9% a year. So the employees may have been leaner and fitter, but it is possible that workplace pressure to produce more meant greater stress.
All this suggests that employee well-being is a rather more complex topic than can be tackled by a programme devoted to exercise and healthy living. A study by Rand Europe, a research institute, found that obvious bad habits such as smoking and high alcohol use were in fact not associated with lower productivity, while obese workers were no more likely to take time off than anyone else. The biggest productivity problems were associated with lack of sleep, financial concerns and mental-health issues-factors that may well be directly linked to work-related stress.
It seems reasonable for companies to expect some level of economic return from any wellness programme that they provide. But the trade-off should not be too blatant. Making employees fitter so you can work them a lot harder seems rather like drilling your infantry (野战军) on a course before sending them to face the machine guns. A better impact on morale (士气) (and thus productivity) might occur if workers felt that their managers had a genuine interest in their welfare.
1.What does the author want to tell us by the example of Johnson&Johnson?
A.A healthy lifestyle can contribute to higher productivity.
B.Caring for employees’ physical health is of great importance.
C.A health program is not enough to improve employee well-being.
D.A wellness program benefits both the company and the employees.
2.What does the study by Rand Europe indicate?
A.Certain living habits help improve motivation.
B.Work-related pressure is to blame for low productivity.
C.Financial concerns have nothing to do with productivity.
D.Obesity is associated with lower attendance in the workplace.
3.What does the underlined word “blatant” mean?
A.Challenging.
B.Effective.
C.Flexible.
D.Obvious.
4.What’s the purpose of this text?
A.To recommend a new way of increasing profits.
B.To compare various factors affecting productivity.
C.To question some practice in business management.
D.To urge employers to improve health care programs.

Group exercise is one of the most effective ways to improve physical fitness and sustain(保持) a healthy lifestyle. Group exercise is challenging, yet fun and empowering! Of course everyone knows that exercise is good for the body. However, studies have shown that when exercise is performed in groups, it's not only great for improving physical health but for psychological health. It's an opportunity to be social, release endorphins（内啡肽）, and improve your strength. Additionally, group exercise creates a community feel and the shared common goal motivates participants to work hard. The instrumental support of taking on a fitness journey with others proves more effective than going to the gym alone.
Another beneficial aspect of group exercise is the informational support participants receive from the instructor. Many people fear the gym because they feel lost and don't want to embarrass themselves. If you feel you can relate, then group training is an even better option for you. It's a great opportunity to learn more about fitness through the clear instruction and supervision (监管) of a fitness instructor. If you're tired of wandering around the gym wasting time and becoming bored, you can attend an upbeat group fitness class that'll keep your workout on track. Don't let fitness frighten you!
If you're serious about wanting to live a healthy lifestyle, it's extremely important to surround yourself with people who'll provide you with the proper emotional support. I wouldn't scold anyone for deciding to party on weekends and in turn I wouldn't expect anyone to give offence to me for focusing on my health. Surround yourself with people who uplift, encourage and understand you! Make fitness even more fun by trying something new or any group fitness class, with a friend. Plan to go for a jog together. Then try a fun healthy restaurant or fresh juice bar! Fitness can be both fun and social!
Surrounding yourself with people who'll provide you with respect support can be very beneficial while working towards reaching health and fitness goals. First, decide to do it for yourself and work towards staying positive. Then make sure the people you surround yourself with are supportive. Don't let negativity ruin your motivation.

As Americans’ health and fitness levels continue to decline, many of those in the worst shape are afraid to go to a “regular” gym to improve their poor health. They somehow feel embarrassed and don’t know how to begin. For these individuals, boutique gyms that specialize in particular parts of population may be good choices. These special gyms provide a more personal setting tor those returning to a healthy lifestyle or starting a fitness program for the first time. Personal training and individualized attention are key features of these new kinds of gyms.
Bulldog Fitness, a gym for kids only, is using the latest trend in video games that provide a workout to engage their young members. Playstation2 Game Bikes, the Treadwall (a rock climbing wall that moves with you), and DDR Dance Machines are customers’ favorites.
Meanwhile, Irene Pastore of Senior Fit in New York city shows that “age is no excuse for ill-health.” Her boutique gym focuses on the health risks associated with sedentary living. Personal training programs are designed specifically for seniors depending on their special needs.
“We feel that people that need the most guidance often don’t know where to turn. If America is going to change its current health decline, the public and healthcare industry needs to pay more attention to the unique needs of customers,” says Dr. Sal Arria, CEO and founder of the International Sports Science Association(IS-SA). Dr. Arria claims that those returning to a fitness state should make certain that they choose a trainer who holds a specialized certification that qualifies them to work with their individual area of need.

Health care is regarded as an important way to improve the health and well-being of people around the world. In many countries of the world, free health care is provided by the government. 1.
Clearly, we all have to pay for this service through our taxes.
2. They say that people who take unnecessary risks should not receive this free health care. For example, people who join in risky activities such as skiing are more likely to have an accident. It has been suggested that these people should pay for any medical treatment they require.
3. Firstly, it’s difficult to say exactly what is risky and what is not. For example, not doing enough exercise is probably more risky than skiing in the long run. As a result, it isn’t fair to give free health care to an inactive person and make the skier pay. 4. Clearly, these people should receive free medical treatment if they are hurt on the job.
Finally, I would like to say that I think free health care is a good thing. I understand that the system is not perfectly fair because some people use it more than others. Besides, not all the medical treatment is really necessary for the health of the patient. The taxpayer should not have to pay the costs of such treatment. 5.
A. It helps you make money.
B. Personally, I disagree with this point of view.
C. However, some people think this is basically unjust.
D. This means that everybody has a chance to see a doctor.
E. Free health care will decrease the economy of the country.
F. Besides, fire fighters take risks, but they are necessary risks.
G. However, in my opinion, this is a small price to pay for a healthier society.

How to Improve Your Mental and Emotional Health
Your mental health and emotional well-being are important aspects of your overall health. In fact, they are just as important as your physical health. Your mental health can be affected by medical conditions such as depression. 1. No matter what your situation is, you can take steps to improve your mental and emotional health.
Have fun. Experts say that playing might actually be good for you. A great way to boost your mood is to make time to do something fun. Think of some new ways to enjoy yourself. Organize a game night. Invite your friends over for board games or cards. Head to the park. Swinging is just as much fun for adults as it is for kids. Make more jokes. Try something as simple as saying ''Lovely weather, isn't it?'' while you're waiting for the bus in a heavy rain. 2.
3. Try to get in touch with your artistic side. Creative activities can be very therapeutic (治疗的), and can also serve as mood boosters. Consider sketching as a relaxing activity. Take an art class. Contact your local community center for details. This would also be a great way to make new friends. Get a coloring book. Kids aren't the only ones who enjoy coloring. Adult coloring books can help you relax. Listen to music. Or, learn to play an instrument. You could find a group class or hire an individual teacher.
Volunteer. Giving back to others is a great way to make yourself feel good. Volunteering can boost your mood and improve your emotional health. Plus, it's important to help others. 4.
