八年级英语单选题中等难度题查看答案及解析

We’re sitting too much and it’s dangerous. Most Americans spend more than seven hours sitting every day, and the more you sit, the weaker your body will be.

Fortunately, there are simple changes you can make during the day — anywhere, even at the workplace — to improve your health.

Park a few blocks away from the office each morning and walk to work.

This allows you to start off your mornings actively and be ready to take on the work. If you take the bus, get off one stop earlier to take some light exercise before 8 a.m.

Stand up and move around the office once every 60 — 90 minutes.

When you’re busy with work, it’s easy to forget the time. Set the alarm to remind(提醒) you to stand up and take a walk around the office. You can use this time to fill up your water bottle or go to the bathroom.

Ask questions and discuss questions face to face.

Go to your co-worker’s office to discuss questions face to face, rather than send an e-mail every time you have a question. This gives you a good excuse to move.

Use your lunch break to move around outside.

So many Americans today work during their lunch break. When possible, take advantage of(利用) this time to walk outside and enjoy the nice weather. Fresh air can make you keep a clear mind.

1.The underlined word “Fortunately” in Paragraph 2 means __________.

A.unluckily B.luckily C.surprisingly D.possibly

2.Every morning, we can park a few blocks away from the office to __________.

A.save some money B.find a good place to park

C.take some light exercise D.take a walk in the park

3.What can we do when we stand up to walk around the office?

A.Play games with our co-workers. B.Enjoy the nice weather.

C.Fill up the water bottle. D.Walk to work.

4.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A.We should discuss questions face to face during the lunch break.

B.We should send an e-mail every time we have a question.

C.Few Americans spend more than seven hours sitting every day.

D.We should move our bodies every 60 — 90 minutes during the work.
