Young people frequently say that they want to exercise, but they just can’t find the time.

The solution just might be in-office interval training.

Recent studies show that very short but intense exercise rapidly builds and maintains fitness and health, even when the workout is only a few minutes long.

Work the stairs

You can complete an excellent, effective — and very brief — workout in an office stairwell, says Martin Gibala, a professor of kinesiology at McMaster University in Canada and an expert on interval training.

For a study that he and his colleagues presented earlier this year, they asked 12 out-of-shape women in their 20s to warm up for two minutes by slowly walking up and down stairs in a campus office building.

They completed three of these abbreviated stair workouts per week for six weeks.

By the end, their aerobic fitness had improved substantially, the researchers reported, by about as much as if they had been running or cycling each week for hours.

Fidget your way to fitness.

Parents and teachers may once have urged you to sit still, but wiggling, tapping your toes, standing briefly, and otherwise fidgeting as much as possible at your desk is in fact good for your body.

In one recent study, college students showed healthier blood flow in their lower legs if they fidgeted than if they did not.

Even better, a 2008 study found that among office workers, those who frequently fidgeted burned as many as 300 calories more each day than those who resolutely stayed still.

1. What does the passage mainly want to tell us?

A. several ways to work out within short time

B. short exercise does no good to health

C. how to find time to exercise

D. fitness can be improved

2.According to the experiment, women spending two minutes working stairs for six weeks __________.

A. didn’t benefit from workout

B. felt more unhealthy

C. became fatter in figure

D. benefited a lot

3.How many studies are shown in the passage?

A. One　　　　　 B. Two　　　　 　 C. Three　　　　　　 　 D. Four

4.The writer may agree ___________.

A. sitting still during work hours

B. lying as often as possible

C. trying to frequently walk back and forth

C. standing and working without any stop

Once an old man rose early to read each morning. His grandson wanted to be just like his grandfather, so tried to emulate him every way he could.

One day the grandson asked, “Grandpa, I try to read just like you do, but I don’t understand most of it, and I forget whatever I do understand immediately I close the book. So what good is it for me to read?”

The grandfather, who was putting coal on the fire, said, “Take this coal basket down to the river and bring me back a basket of water.”

The boy did as told to, but the water leaked out before he could get the basket home.

The grandfather laughed, saying, “You’ll have to move a little faster.” This time he ran faster, but again the basket emptied. Out of breath, he decided it was impossible to carry water in a basket, and he went to get a bucket (桶). But the grandfather said, “I want a basket of water instead of a bucket of water. You’re just not trying hard enough.”

The boy knew what he was trying to accomplish was impossible. However, he decided to show his grandfather a third time.

The boy dipped the basket into the river and ran as hard as he could. With the empty basket, he gasped (喘气说), “See Grandpa? It’s useless!”

“So you think it useless?” the old man asked. ‘‘Then look at the basket.” To his surprise, the boy found it washed clean of the dirty coal stains and now clean inside and out.

“My child, that’s what happens when you read the book. You might not understand or remember everything, but the words will change you inside and out. That is the work of reading in our lives.”

1.Why did the man tell the boy to fetch a basket of water?

A. The work was too much for himself.

B. The work could test how fast the boy ran.

C. He intended to train the boy to run faster.

D. He meant to inspire the boy through an example.

2.What does the underline word “emulate” in Paragraph 1 most probably mean?

A. Admire.　　 B. Encourage.

C. Challenge.　　 D. Copy.

3.Which of the following words can be used to describe the grandfather?

A. Wise and diligent.　　 B. Healthy and smart.

C. Thoughtful and loving.　　 D. Serious and knowledgeable.

4.What would be the best title for this passage?

A. The Power of Reading　　 B. A Basket of Water

C. Old Man and His Grandson　　 D. On Reading Book

Growing up, I wanted to be just like my mom. She was kind. People always seemed to feel comfortable in her presence. For years, she was a volunteer in our community. I loved going to the local nursing home with her where she taught a ceramics(制陶技术) class.

On one summer day, Mama told me to get changed and meet her at the car.

I had planned to spend the day at the lake with friends. Why did she have to ruin everything? I imagined the cool lake water. Irritated，I climbed into the car and slammed the door shut. We sat in silence. I was too upset to make conversation.

“Tasha, would you like to know where we are going?” Mama asked calmly.

“No,” I said.

“We are going to volunteer at a children’s shelter today. I have been there before and I think it would benefit you,” she explained.

When we reached the shelter, Mama rang the doorbell. Moments later, we were greeted by a woman. She led us to the front room where all of the children were playing. I noticed a baby whose body was scarred with iron marks. I was told it was because she wouldn’t stop crying. The majority of the children had noticeable physical scars. Others hid their emotional wounds.

As I took in my surroundings, I felt a gentle pull on my shirt. I looked down to see a little girl looking up at me. “Hi. You want to play dolls with me?” she asked. I looked over at Mama for reinforcement. She smiled and nodded. I turned back and said, “Sure.” Her tiny hand reached up and held mine, as if to comfort me.

My mom taught me a valuable lesson that summer. I returned to the shelter with her several times. During those visits, some of the children shared their troubled pasts with me and I learned to be grateful for what I had. Today as I try to instill (逐渐灌输) these values in my own child, I reflect back to that experience. It was a time that I will never forget.

1.The author admired her mom for__________ .
