　　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.

　　【健康环保类—阅读理解】（2015模拟题）

　　Monty Hempel is a professor of environmental sciences at Redlands University in California.He studies ecological literacy—or ecoliteracy，for short.Ecoliteracy is the ability to think about and understand the natural processes that make life possible.

　　Monty Hempel says ecoliteracy gives people knowledge about environmental problems.But he says it does not always work to get them to change their behavior.

　　Mr.Hempel wrote part of the Worldwatch Institute’s latest State of the World report.He says in his article，“Some people think that ecoliteracy is just a green form of science literacy.And what I have tried to ask is whether that’s enough.In other words，what an ecologically­literate person needs to know might include things like the cycles and the flows，the energy systems，all of those kind of things that we would call the science of ecology.”

　　“That doesn’t seem to lead to action to protect our environment—to protect our life­support system to the level that we need to.Just because we know a lot about the environment doesn’t mean that we actually act to save it.After all，actions speak louder than knowledge.”

　　He adds that people may not be very worried about environmental problems if they seem far away.“Some people call it psychological distance.A lot of climate issues are worse in the Arctic and most of us don’t spend time in the Arctic.And so，there’s a certain distance.But there’s also a distance that’s happening in the world as it urbanizes—people spending more time in front of screens and less time out in nature.We become，if you will，disconnected from the natural systems that used to be the key to success for a human being.”

　　To help children discover the wonders of nature，he adds that children should learn about nature in school.But he also points out we have a high mountain for people to climb from knowledge to action.

　　1.From what Monty Hempel says in Paragraph 3，we learn that

　　.

　　A.knowledge on environment protection is not enough

　　B.knowledge that children learn at school is useless

　　C.ecoliteracy can help people understand how nature works

　　D.people with enough knowledge will protect the environment well

　　答案　A

　　解析　推理判断题。根据第三段中 Monty Hempel说的话，尤其是文中的“And what I have tried to ask is whether that’s enough.”暗示仅仅有环保的知识是不够的，故最佳答案为A。

　　2.What is especially important for environment protection in Mr.Hempel’s opinion?

　　A.Knowledge.

　　B.Action.

　　C.Green living.

　　D.Psychological distance.

　　答案　B

　　解析　细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“After all，actions speak louder than knowledge.”可知Mr.Hempel的观点是行动更重要，故最佳答案为B。

　　3.Mr.Hempel thinks people show no concern about some environmental problems because

　　.

　　A.they lack knowledge on environment protection

　　B.they have no awareness of environment protection

　　C.some environmental problems are not worse at all

　　D.some environmental problems happened far away

　　答案　D

　　解析　细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Some people call it psychological distance(有些人叫它心理距离).”以及“And so，there’s a certain distance(这里是有一定距离的).”，可知人们对一些环境问题不关心，是因为有些环境问题发生在遥远的地方，故最佳答案为D。

　　4.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

　　A.Experts think it is the best way to learn nature in school.

　　B.Climbing a high mountain is a good way to exercise well.

　　C.Changing people’s attitude to environment protection is hard.

　　D.Knowledge can help children take action to protect the environment.

　　答案　C

　　解析　推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“But he also points out we have a high mountain for people to climb from knowledge to action(但他也指出对许多人来说从知识到行动有一座高山要爬).”可知要改变人们对环境保护的态度是很难的。

　　阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

　　In Western culture, 21 was the age at which young people traditionally received a key to their parents’ door, as a symbol of entering adulthood. Now, the age of 21 is a time when people ask themselves: where do I go from here?

　　Jiang Fangzhou’s 21 years have been filled with the kind of success most young people wouldn’t dare hope for in a lifetime. She published her first book at the age of nine and has written many more since then. She is regarded as a spokesperson for her generation. However, her hopes and concerns for the future appear decidedly normal.

　　She explains that while her fellow students are chiefly concerned with getting a job or buying an apartment, shefrets over how she can excel in her work when having limited experience of the world.

　　However, Jiang, now a senior at the School of Journalism and Communication of Tsinghua University, notes that her peers face intense pressure and competition at school. They are expected to excel in their field of study despite limited experience, just as Jiang is expected to shine in the literary world.

　　Young people, she says, have been forced to open their eyes to the world around them. Jiang’s world has opened up, too. She’s more at ease with herself at 21, compared with when she began college.

　　“My horizon has broadened and I’m more tolerant,” she says. “As a freshman, I was desperate. I stopped people around me and asked: ‘Is there anything in the world still worth hoping for? ‘ But now I don’t do that.”

　　Jiang says that she may not pursue writing as her main future career because she wants to try“other lifestyles”—overseas travel and study touring sound particularly inviting to her. But she is concerned that many foreigners have skewed (歪曲的,倾斜的) perceptions about China.

　　“A few days ago I overheard a conversation between two foreigners sitting next to me on a flight,” says Jiang. “They were having a heated discussion about the number of beggars in China. And how Chinese always go for ‘petty profits’. In fact, they had been in China for only a week.”

　　Jiang believes prejudice is unavoidable, but she also maintains that Chinese and Westerners, for example, share much common ground.

　　“We share the same principles, such as honesty and a willingness to help others,” says Jiang. “The differences between peoples are not that huge.”

　　1. What does the passage mainly talk about?

　　A. Jiang Fangzhou’s novels.

　　B. Embracing new challenges.

　　C. Jiang Fangzhou’s university life.

　　D. Jiang Fangzhou’s success.

　　2. What does the underlined phrase mean?

　　A. be patient with　B. be worried about

　　C. be content with

　　D. be indifferent about

　　3. Which of the following sentences is true?

　　A. Jiang doesn’t have any pressure and competition as the others do.

　　B. Jiang’s peers face intense pressure and competition at school.

　　C. Jiang wants to be a professional writer in future.

　　D. Jiang often asks her friends some questions now.

　　4. We can infer from the text that_____.　

　　A. there is nothing but prejudice between Chinese and Westerners

　　B. Jiang accepts the fact that there are huge differences between peoples

　　C. one week is enough to know about a true China.

　　D. Jiang disagrees with what the two foreigners said about Chinese
