Walking is so simple and convenient that it couldn’t possibly count as exercise, right? Wrong.Study after study shows that regular walking can help you lose weight and reduce your risk of heart disease.
The study published in Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice shows that the blood pressure of the overweight men being tested improved and the amount of body fat greatly decreased.
That’s good news, because walking has now become the most popular fitness activity in the United States.Convenient, simple, and gentle on the joints, walking is perhaps the easiest form of exercise to maintain.According to a survey, four out of five women who start a walking program continue to walk, while half of women who attempt other types of aerobic exercise(有氧运动), such as swimming, drop out during the first few months.
Here are some basics for walking exercise.
Walk at a pace that makes you breathe heavily, but still able to talk.
Your goal, first and foremost, is to walk five days a week, 30 minutes a walk.Do that, and you are getting the base-level amount of exercise that research says should maintain your health and vigor(精力).
Walk for as long as you are comfortable the first week, even if it is just to your mailbox and back.Each following week, increase that amount by no more than 10 percent.
Start every walk with five minutes of easy-paced walking, about the same pace at which you do shopping, to get your body warmed up.Then, cool down at the end of each walk with another five minutes of easy-paced walking.This allows your heart rate to gradually speed up and slow down.
1.The survey mentioned in Paragraph 3 shows that ________.
A. 80% of the women surveyed are walking as a means of exercise
B. 50% of the women surveyed want to swim as a means of exercise
C. walking is more easily maintained than other types of aerobic exercise
D. the effect of walking is as good as that of other types of aerobic exercise

B. Increase at least 10% of the amount of each previous week.
C. Each walk should start with the pace of doing shopping.
D. Walking as much as you can in the first week is suggested.

A. To help reduce your blood pressure.
B. To help reduce your risk of heart disease.
C. To help your body lose fat.

To foreigners Chinese food isn’t a meal. It’s an experience. Failing to order the right food and struggling with chopsticks are only parts of the adventure every time I sit down in a restaurant.
In one of our favorite Sichuan restaurants, it took 3 waiters and 15 minutes for us to order only our drinks. I simply wanted water, but my dad wanted to try the fresh juice they had listed on the menu. There were two problems, however. There were neither pictures nor English on the menu. After several hand gestures, he ended up ordering just a coca cola to simplify things.
One of our most embarrassing moments was at Xiabuxiabu, a very famous hotpot chain. As soon as we walked in, the entire restaurant seemed to stare at us. Uncomfortable already, we had the most difficulty ordering our meal, since there were so many steps to the whole process. Fortunately, the waitress was very patient and successfully gave us our food. Although it was not the best food I had in Beijing, it was certainly entertaining dropping things into the boiling pot of soup. Once, I tried picking up a dumpling to show my father and dropped it onto his pants. I looked behind me, and people were laughing secretly at my chopstick skills.
No matter how many difficulties we have regarding food, our experiences give the best stories to tell. The servers are always understanding of our situation and their friendliness is exceptional. They always greet us with a big smile even when they realize they have to clean up the noodles slipped through our clumsy chopsticks.
1.The author and his father find it difficult to order food, because ________.
A. he has never been to China before.
B. no pictures or English go with the food.
C. Chinese food culture is complex.
D. they are treated badly.
2.What may make the author feel embarrassed most?
A. The Chinese language.
B. The use of chopsticks.
C. The name of Chinese food.
D. The attitudes towards foreigners.
3.How does the author feel about having dinner in China?
A. Satisfied. B. Thrilled.
C. Excited. D. Disappointed.
4.The passage mainly introduces ________.
A. the kindness of Chinese people
B. varieties of Chinese food
C. experiences of having Chinese food
D. the chopstick challenge in a restaurant

Right now in China, talks on the street have been about the strange weather and it's raising a lot of concerns. A heavy haze(雾霾) has blanketed many cities in the northern and southern parts of the country in part of an unusual weather system that’s descended on the nation.
The haze stretches over a vast area, from Hebei and Shan-dong Provinces in the north all the way to Zhejiang, Anhui, Jiangsu, Hunan and Fujian provinces in the south. At its worst, the smog is reducing visibility to less than 200 meters and disrupting traffic, both on the ground and in the air. The weather front has also led many to worry about the possible health impacts.
Many cities are waking up to another day covered by a dense haze. In Beijing, drivers have to keep their lights on even though it’s already past eight o’clock in the morning. Even driving at very slow speeds, the roads can still be very dangerous. In some of the worst hit areas, drivers can’t even tell the colors of traffic signals. Authorities have stepped in to close off many highways across the troubled region. In Shandong Province, the highways that are open are backed up for miles. And traffic police have stepped up their patrols.
In the region’s airports, flights information boards have gone red. A huge number of flights have been delayed or cancelled, nearly three hundred in Beijing alone, leaving thousands of passengers stranded. Some are more frustrated than impatient. Passenger from Jinan airport, Shangdong province, said: “I’ve been waiting for more than five hours. It’s Mother Nature, so there’s really nothing we can do.” The airport is urging passengers to confirm with their carrier whether their flight will still take off as scheduled.
Back on the city streets, people are wearing breathing masks to get free from any ill effects. Fog has cleared a little in Shanghai. But damage has already been done. Shanghai resident said: “I’ve been wearing the mask, but still, my throat feels sour and itchy. I think it’s because of the weather.”
The weather forecast predicts a cold front is about to sweep across central and eastern China tomorrow. Many are hoping that this will clear away the depressive haze as well as the harm it brings.
1.The harm the smog caused didn’t include .
A. reducing visibility to less than 200 meters
B. disrupting traffic

D. heavy fog
2.Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Only a small part of China suffered the haze.
B. Many highways were blocked up
C. All the flights were delayed or cancelled
D. The bad weather would last another few days
3.When the passenger said “It is Mother Nature”, he had a feeling of .
A. impatience B. frustration
C. Anxiety D. curiosity
4.The passage is developed by .
