Fitness isn’t just physical; Change your thou...

Fitness isn’t just physical; Change your thoughts, and you change your world．Of course we all agree that gaining and losing weight, exercise, diet, strength, and flexibility(灵活性) are a part of fitness．But what about body image, aging , relationships, success, and happiness? They are all related, all connected, and fitness in all areas is important if you want true and total fitness．

But you may say , “I just want to lose 20 pounds．If I do, I will feel better about myself and I will be happy ．”Maybe in the short term, but honestly, if we don’t deal with our mental and emotional fitness while working on the physical, there is very little chance of keeping the weight off, feeling good about yourself, and improving every other area of your life．

Let’s not waste tine changing our bodies if we don’t change our minds, Let’s work“out”and work“in” at the same time ．Change your mind and you must, because if you have been trying to lose weight, but cannot, there is something inside you that is disallowing it．You can change this pattern, improve your self-esteem, increase your joy, and change your body for good by focusing on changing your mind．This is training for life．

Work-ins will repair your mind, improve your attitude, change your perception and encourage motivation at the same time you are conditioning your body for weight loss, shaping, strength and endurance．

If you repeat a positive statement over and over to yourself——like a mantra(祷文)，your mind will change, the same way your body does, even if you don’t believe it．Like lifting a weight over and over, your muscle changes——even if you don’t believe it．

1.What does the author want to tell us in Paragraph 2?

When to Change Your Mindset

Allowing negative thoughts and problems to control your mind will stop you achieving happiness and success. But how do you know when you need to change your mindset（心态）? Below are some pointers.

1.To enjoy the moment, you need to choose not to pay attention to negative thoughts—whether, yours or someone else's. This does not mean that you ignore problems,. but it does mean that you choose not let problems kill your dreams and hopes.

You worry all the time. Worry is using your imagination to create problems, rather than solve them. Worring about problems does not solve them.2.Most of what you worry about never takes place.

You complain about life.3.Do you find yourself complaining about your situation, or what other people have said or done? If you do, it means that you do not accept the reality of your situation or past. That causes stress. Rather than complain, you should change your situation.

You want a pain-free life. Don't fear pain. Pain is a part of living. You cannot travel new paths and attain success without the pain of hard work, taking risks and making mistakes.4.

You blame others for your problems. If you feel anger and resentment（恐惧）against others, blaming them for your problems, then you need to change your mindset.5.They only make you bitter. Instead of being angry, choose to learn and grow from negative experiences, and then let them go.

A.It only makes you upset.

B.Sooner or later, it makes you stronger.

C.You see more negatives than positives.

D.Watch what you say to yourself, and others.

E.It starts with caring abou other people's opinions.

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.

高三英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

The following are four books that will help you change your mind and change your life.

1) You Can Heal Your Life, Louise Hay: A groundbreaking book when it was released in 1982. It is still the book that I turn to when I have physical unrest that requires deeper understanding. Louise Hay is the pioneer in looking at the connection between the physical unrest that we have in our body and the emotional connection. At the time that she wrote the book many people scoffed at this idea, but it is now widely accepted and millions of people refer to it on a daily basis.

2) The Four Agreements, Don Miguel Ruiz: Maintaining a sense of reliability and faith is developed through understanding to The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz written in 1997. We are faced with rules and regulations; don’t do this, don’t do that, watch what you are doing, be kind, loyal, faithful etc. The four agreements represent a simple system of maintaining your own inner authority while practicing being a true person with other people.

3) Slowing Down to the Speed of Life, Richard Carlson and Joseph Bailey: This is a new one in my “bedside collection” and one that has made the biggest impact on me lately. Written in 1997, it is even more relevant today than it was when it was written. The idea of “slowing down” to get there faster was extremely hard for me to understand. As a human species we seem to enjoy moving fast and expecting quick results, especially from ourselves. I should be successful now, I should be slim now, get me to my destination now—in contrast to “in the fullness of time” when I am ready.

4) The Game of Life and How to Play It, Florence Scovel-Shinn: A classic book that was first published in 1925 and remains one of my favorite books of all time. Scovel-Shinn understood the power of our words to express either our deepest desires or our most horrible nightmares.

So where does this leave you? The way I see it is if you want to ‘Heal Your Life” then you had better learn how to play “The Game of Life” by learning how to “Slow Down to the Speed of Life” and keep the “Four Agreements”. The solution may not be easy to do but it is simple. In fact, most solutions are pretty simple, and it is us humans that want to complicate it.

1.According to the author, people who are lacking in personal freedom should read______.

A. You Can Heal Your Life

B. The Four Agreements

C. Slowing Down to the Speed of Life

D. The Game of Life and How to Play It

2.Which of the following books did the author read most recently?

A. Slowing Down to the Speed of Life

B. The Four Agreements

C. You Can Heal Your Life

D. The Game of Life and How to Play It

3.In which part of a magazine would you probably find this passage?

A. Arts & Entertainment   B. Reference & Education

C. Book Reviews    D. Self Improvement

4. In the author’s opinion, the four books _______.

A. offer four ways to change our life and mind    B. represent four stages of life

C. represent four attitudes                     D. tell us four interesting stories

高三英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

Have you ever thought, “I wish I could take a year off and just travel around the word?” Well, three lucky American teenagers were able to do just that. The teens — two males and one female — got an all-expenses paid, yearlong hike to five continents.

This trip didn’t include any five-star hotels or shopping funs. Eighteen-year-old Jamie Fiel from Keller, Texas, 17-year-old Arsen Ewing from Canyon, California, and 16-year-old Tyler Robinson from Lincoln, Massachusetts, didn’t expect fancy treatment. They signed up for the experience of a lifetime, which included hard work, often uncomfortable accommodations, and encounters with some of nature’s most dangerous animals and environments.

Jamie, Arsen, and Tyler were among hundreds of high school kids nominated by their science teachers to take this trip. Earthwatch Institute sponsored this adventure. Each year, Earthwatch employs thousands of volunteers worldwide to help with scientific research projects.

The group went all around the world to get a close look at the most pressing environmental issues of our time. Their assignments were as varied as their locations, and included measuring and attending pink flamingos in Kenya’s Great Rift Valley, and tracking giant sea turtles in Costa Rica.

As they worked with the Earthwatch scientists, Jamie, Arsen, and Tyler began to understand that we are at a critical moment in the life of our planet. Time for change is running out. As the teens went from country to country and witnessed different environmental dangers and challenges, they understood that solutions to important environmental issues start with the power of one person’s actions. They realized that each of them can make a difference.

1.These teenagers went on the journey around the world 　　　 .

A. to experience the most serous environmental problems on the earth

B. to bring the kindness of America to the other parts of the world

C. to go on sightseeing around the world

D. to call on more teenagers to join Earthwatch Institute

2.What’s TRUE about their journey?

A. They had to pay for their journey on their own expense.

B, They often had to move from one hotel to another.

C. They had to take great pains to collect environmental information.

D. They received a warm welcome every time they arrived at a new place.

3.It can be inferred that Earthwatch Institute could be 　　　　　　 .

A. an international university that takes in students from all over the world

B. a TV station that makes programmes on the beautiful scenery of the earth

C. a travel agency that organizes adventure trips specially for school children

D. an organization that bring s science to life for people concerned about earth’s environment
