　　When many of us take a vacation，relaxing is what we want.But we usually return home tired and weak.It doesn’t have to be this way.

　　Come home refreshed after an active trip! Don’t be too tired!

　　Active vacations are often the most relaxing of all.It’s all in defining(定义) what an active vacation is.We don’t expect you to run slowly，or go backpacking.Well，we ask the vacationers who are not active not to sit too long but to spend two to four hours a day doing things，such as walking the city streets，exploring a nature reserve，going to a zoo or biking along the ocean.

　　These kinds of activities aren’t just good for your physical health.They improve your mental health，even your spiritual health.And they make vacations memorable and worthwhile.And after all，isn’t that what you want from your vacation? Here are some fresh ideas to make your vacations as pleasurable as they are active and healthy.

　　A walk at dawn or dusk is necessary.Try to make this a daily routine of life away from home，and you will ensure yourself both physical and spiritual adding.

　　Don’t allow yourself to spend your entire time sitting in front of the water.Whether it is the ocean，a swimming pool，or a tree-lined lake，make sure you get into the water for swimming or games or even walking.Heck，merely standing in waist-high water is a good exercise，thanks to the action of the water.And you will feel so much more alive!

　　Many of us spend a large piece of our vacations on the road，either getting to and from our destinations，or using the car for sightseeing.But no matter how beautiful the scenery is，great，memorable vacations don’t happen in a car seat.Don’t wait for tiredness or nature’s call to get you to pull over.Frequently get out and stretch，walk，picnic，shop，visit，and have fun.It’s important for your health and energy，and it makes traveling a lot more active and interesting.

　　B

　　(2016·江西省南昌市高三调研测试)Feel tired lately? Has a doctor said he can’t find anything wrong with you? Perhaps you have been to a hospital，but all the advanced equipment there shows that there is nothing wrong with you.

　　Then，consider this：you might be in a state of sub-health.

　　Sub-health，also called the third state or gray state，is explained as a borderline (界限) state between health and disease.

　　According to the investigation by the National Health Organization，over 45 percent of sub-healthy people are middle-aged and elderly.The percentage is even higher among people who work in management positions as well as students around exam-week.

　　Symptoms of sub-health include a lack of energy，depression，slow reactions，insomnia，agitation (焦虑不安)，and poor memory.Other symptoms include shortness of breath，sweating and aching in the waist and legs.

　　The key to preventing and recovering from sub-health，according to some medical experts，is to form good living habits，alternate work and rest，exercise regularly，and take part in open air activities.

　　As for meals，people are advised to eat less salt and sugar.They should also eat more fresh vegetables，fruits，and fish because they are rich in nutritional elements—vitamins and trace elements－that are important to the body.

　　Nutrition experts point out that it is not good to eat too much at one meal because it may cause unhealthy changes in the digestive tract.They also say that a balanced diet is very helpful in avoiding sub-health.

　　5．According to this passage，which of the following is TRUE?

　　A．When you are in a state of sub-health，you should stay at home and keep silent.

　　B．When you are in a state of sub-health，you should go to see a doctor and buy some medicine.

　　C．When you are in a state of sub-health，you should have yourself examined in foreign countries.

　　D．When you are in a state of sub-health，you should find out the reasons and relax yourself.

　　解析：选D。正误判断题。根据文章中谈到的压力较大的人出现亚健康的几率较高可知，工作压力大是造成亚健康的原因之一，因此，当出现亚健康状态的时候，要找出原因，并使自己放松下来。

　　6．It may be easy for middle-aged people to be in a state of sub-health because ________.

　　A．they have used up their energy

　　B．they have lost their living hopes

　　C．they have more pressure in life and work

　　D．they begin to get older

　　解析：选C。推理判断题。根据第四段可知，超过45%的亚健康者是中年人和老年人，而且管理层的人员处于亚健康状态的几率要高些，由此可推知在生活中承担的责任和工作压力大是造成中年人处于亚健康状态的原因。

　　7．The key to preventing you from falling into a state of sub-health is that you should ________.

　　A．work hard

　　B．sleep more

　　C．form good living habits

　　D．take more medicine

　　解析：选C。细节理解题。根据第六段中的“The key to preventing and recovering from sub-health...is to form good living habits”可知，专家认为预防亚健康的关键是形成良好的生活习惯。

　　8．The underlined word “alternate” in this passage is closest in meaning to ________.

　　A．arrange by turns

　　B．cause to take place

　　C．keep up

　　D．take up

　　解析：选A。词义猜测题。根据第六段可知，形成良好的生活习惯、工作和休息交替进行、经常锻炼、多进行户外活动是预防亚健康的一些措施。由此可知画线单词alternate意为“(使)交替”，与短语arrange by turns意思相近。
