We all know that exercise is good for your health. But some kinds of exercise may be better than others. Running, for example, may help to protect against heart disease and other health problems. Running may also help you live longer.
Recently, researchers studied more than 55,000 adults. About a quarter of the adults have a good habit of running. The study found these runners were much healthier than non-runners. In fact, the runners lived, on average（平均）, three years longer than the non-runners.
Running may be good exercise, but it can be difficult on the body. Here are commonly shared ideas among fitness experts（健身专家） to lower the risk of injury（受伤） for people who are new to running.
⊙Take it easy.
Do not run too much, too soon or too fast. Most people get running injuries when they push themselves too hard. The body needs time to get used to increases in distance（里程） or speed.
⊙ Get good running shoes.
There is no single best shoe for every runner. You should find the shoe that offers the best fit and support for your feet. More importantly, you should have a new pair of shoes every 500 to 800 kilometers.
⊙Take good notes.
Take time after each run to write down notes about what you did and how you felt. Look for things that happen again and again. For example, you may find that your knees hurt when you run sometimes. But perhaps you feel great when you have a rest between running days. These notes will help you make the best plan for running.
36. The writer wants to tell us in the first paragraph ____________.
A. good health comes from running
B. running is the best exercise
C. health problem can be solved by good exercise
D. not all exercise is equally（同样的）good
37. In the second paragraph, we know ____________.
A. a good habit of running may help you live longer
B. the number of non-runners was getting smaller
C. three quarters of 55,000 adults were new to running
D. the hope to live three years longer drives people to exercise
38. Increases in distance or speed depend on ____________.
A. what the fitness experts say B. whether you have the best shoes
C. how your body feels D. why you start running
39. The purpose of taking notes is to ____________.
A. remind you of where to have new shoes
B. help you find the way of running that fits you
C. take a rest between running days
D. help you do some research on exercise
40. The passage is written to ____________.
A. provide information for the researchers to work better
B. warn the non-runners of the dangers in running
C. help runners to exercise in a scientific way
D. encourage as many people as possible to join in running
B
Height is just one of the features your genes (基因) decide. In fact, because you have two parents, your genes provide you a height that usually lands somewhere between the height of each parent. If both your parents are tall, then most probably you will be tall, too. But if you have questions about how tall you’re going to be, ask your doctor if he or she can help you find them out.
But genes don’t decide everything. For example, eating an unhealthy diet can keep you from growing to your full potential (潜力). Getting plenty of sleep and enough exercise will help you grow to the expected height.
It’s natural that you’re wondering how fast you should grow. There’s no perfect or right answer. Generally speaking, kids grow about 6 cm a year between age 3 and the time when they start puberty .
Your doctor will know how your growth has been going over the years. 2 cm here and 3 cm there make a little difference to the height you’re at now. How have you been growing up to this height？What other changes may your body be going through？
Don’t be amazed if you seem to have grown a lot in a very short time. Everyone has a growth spurt (高峰) during puberty. The age for starting puberty is about 10 for girls and about 11 for boys. But it can be earlier or later — between 7 and 13 for girls and 9 and 15 for boys.
You’ll usually begin to notice that you’re growing faster about a year after your body starts to show the first changes of puberty.
41.If you want to know how tall you should grow, _______.
A. you should have enough exercise
B. you can ask doctors for help
C. you should take some special medicine
D. you can record your growth during puberty
42.The Chinese for the word “ puberty ” is _______.
A. 童年时期 B. 婴幼儿时期
C. 习惯养成期 D. 生长发育期
43.This passage is mainly about ______.
A. how the genes work in your body
B. how your parents’ height influence you
C. how you look like your parents
D. how you grow to a certain height
44.After reading this passage, we can explain ______.
A. how good it is to be a doctor
B. how much sleep time we need
C. why genes can’t decide everything
D. what healthy diet is
45.Which is NOT mentioned in the passage？
A. Your height most probably depends on how tall your parents are.
B. Girls’ age for starting puberty is usually earlier than that for boys’.
C. The features showing the first changes of puberty between boys and girls are different.
D. You may be amazed sometimes when you grow too fast.
C
Think of life as a game in which you are playing with five balls in the air. You name them work, family, health, friends and spirit and you keep all of them in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber (橡胶)ball. If you drop it, it will bounce（弹跳） back.
But the other four balls, family, health, friends and spirit are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they willbe broken. They will never be the same. You must understand that and try to have the balance in your life. How
Don’t look down on your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different and each of us is special.
Don’t let other people set goals for you. Only you know what is best for yourself.
Don’t give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.
Don’t be afraid of difficulties. We learn how to be brave by taking chances.
Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it’s impossible. The quickest way to receive love is to give it; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; the best way to keep love is to give it wings.
Don’t run through life so fast that you forget not only where you’ve been, but also where you are going.
Don’t be afraid to learn. Knowledge is a treasure you can always carry easily.
Don’t use time or words carelessly. You can’t get them back. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery (秘密), and today is a gift; that’s why we call it “the present”. Life is not a competition, but a trip, step by step.
46.The passage tells us not to _________ because everyone is special.
A．be afraid of difficulties
B．compare yourself with others to look down on your worth
