Various sports attract fans for different reasons: Spectator sports draw even more fans who just love to watch. Here are some of the most beloved sports worldwide.
Hockey－2 billion fans
Hockey, both on ice and on a field, wins a following of two billion enthusiastic fans worldwide. Field hockey is mainly played in Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia, while ice hockey is particularly popular in Canada and the US, where kids grow up playing pond hockey. Unlike ice hockey, field hockey usually does not involve body contact in the form of checking and hitting.
Football－4 billion fans
Football, better known as soccer in the US, is by far the most popular sport in the world.Experts estimate that the origin (起源) of football may go as far back as two thousand years, beginning in ancient China during the Han Dynasty. One major reason for football’s global popularity is that unlike other sports that require expensive equipment, all you need to play football is a ball and your feet.
Volleyball－900 million fans
Volleyball pits two teams across a high net, each attempting to smash the ball onto the opponent’s floor. A popular variant, beach volleyball, is competed on sand by pairs rather than the regular six players per team. The crowd appeal of beach volleyball has grown greatly in recent years.
Tennis－1 billion fans
An estimated one billion people worldwide follow professional tennis tournaments and matches. In tennis, players on both sides of a net try to hit a ball with a racket so that it either goes past their opponent (对手) or bounces twice on their opponent’s side of the court to score points. Tennis superstars like Rafael Nadal, and Serena Williams are now household names around the world, with huge international fan bases.

The first time I realized that I had a love for sports competitions was during the Field Day in elementary school. Small for my age, and more of a bookworm than a sports lover, I had suffered that special humiliation of being picked last for various gym teams. The Field Day, which focused on individual (个体的) skills, was different. In the Softball Throw event, I got my first taste of sporting victory. Credit goes to the example of my first coach, my father. He lifted weights every morning at home. He bought us all baseball gloves and hats, and in the warm months, we spent hours playing catch.
Once I got to sixth grade and switched to private school, our entire student body was assigned to either the Red or the White team. Throughout the year, we competed against each other in various games and exercises for points. I eventually became president of The Committee of Games. I also played on the field hockey team and the basketball team. And at home, playing tennis, skating, skiing and biking were simply normal things we did.During the break time, magazines were also quite popular for us teens. These regularly featured articles on physical exercise. Somehow, my college roommate and I took up the habit of completing Royal Canadian Air Force(RCAF) exercises every day, a practice that continued into my marriage, when we had no spare money to use to join a gym.
So, though it shocks some of our friends, that early foundation (基础) evolved in adulthood into a sports and fitness focus, considered essential even on vacation. I still love reading and the arts, too. As far as I’m concerned, life is the richest with my feet in both worlds.

Do you want to go to play some basketball in between hitting the books Doctors are starting to find more and more information that suggests a connection between exercise and brain development.
Judy Cameron, a scientist at Oregon Health and Science University, studies brain development. According to her research, it seems that exercise can make blood vessels (血管), including those in the brain, stronger and more fully developed.Dr. Cameron is sure that this allows people who exercise to think better. As she says, “While we already know that exercise is good for the heart, exercise can actually cause physical changes in the brain.”
The effects of exercise on brain development can even be seen in babies. Babies who often do activities show greater brain development than babies who are less physically active. Even a little movement can show big results. Margaret Barnes, a scientist, also believes in the importance of exercise. She thinks that many learning disabilities that children have in primary school or high school can result from a lack of movement as babies.
Older people can develop their brains as well. Cornell University studied a group of seniors who have a short－term memory increase of up to 40 percent after exercising just three hours a week. Also, exercise for older people should not be too simple. Learning some new skills or actions, such as with yoga or tai－chi, helps to open up memory paths in the brain that may not have been used for a long time. For most people, any type of physical activity that increases the heart rate is helpful. The main aim is to increase the brain’s flow of blood.And your brain can benefit from as little as two to three hours of exercise a week.

Anyone who’s lived through middle school knows those years can be particularly challenging. Some researches show youths across the U.S. are struggling with mental health. The physical health benefits of bike riding have been well－documented.Wilson, a researcher at Loma Linda University School of Medicine, and his co－authors carried out a new study to see if taking part in a cycling program could result in measurable changes in mind for teenagers.
The study involved more than 1，200 students, aged 11 to 14. Students participated in a cycling class for at least three days a week, for a period of 6 weeks. They learned cycling safety and practicing skills outdoors while raising their heart rate and just having fun. The students completed standardized questionnaires before and after the program designed to measure their health.
“We know cycling can benefit the body. Our research shows how it benefits the mind and social relationships as well. Bike riding can be an ideal activity for adolescents because of the benefits it offers，” said Wilson.
“Cycling engages several parts of brain function. You are looking at your hearing, you’re balancing, you’re navigating and turning. Oftentimes, you’re doing it with someone else, so there’s the positive effect of company or group activity，” said Allan Reiss, a professor at Stanford University School of Medicine.
While exercise has powerful mental health benefits, it’s not universal. For example, previous research has shown that teenage girls are at higher risk of mental health problems like depression and anxiety than boys. The current study found that, while middle school girls reported increased well－being after participating in the cycling program, that increase “may just reach the kind of baseline level for male students，” Wilson said.And other aspects of healthy living are also important, noted Wilson. The study found that teenagers who didn’t limit screen time to a maximum of two hours a day, or who got less than the recommended 8.5 hours of sleep, saw less improvement in their well－being, he said.
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。文章介绍了一项新的研究发现，骑自行车除了可以锻炼身体，还对青少年的大脑和社会关系有好处，且这种好处会有性别差异，也受到其他健康因素的影响。

B.Youths in America.
C.Physical benefits of cycling.
D.Mental effects of bike riding.
解析 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Wilson, a researcher at Loma Linda University School...could result in measurable changes in mind for teenagers.” 可知，这项新研究关注骑自行车对青少年大脑的影响。
33.What did the students do in the program
√
A.Attend the cycling class for a week.
B.Learn how to keep safe while cycling.
C.Raise their heart rate by cycling indoors.
D.Design questions to measure their health.
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段中“They learned cycling safety and practicing skills outdoors while raising their heart rate and just having fun.”可知，在该项目中学生学习如何在骑自行车时保持安全。
34.What is Reiss’s attitude to the result of the study
√
A.Supportive. B.Doubtful.
C.Unclear. D.Negative.
解析 观点态度题。根据第三段中Wilson所说的话“Our research shows how it benefits the mind and social relationships as well.”可知，该研究发现骑自行车也有益于大脑和社会关系；再结合第四段中Reiss所说的话“Cycling engages several parts of brain function...so there’s the positive effect of company or group activity，”可知，Reiss也认为骑自行车可以锻炼大脑的多个功能，且其过程中的陪伴或团体活动有积极意义。由此推知，Reiss对研究发现持支持的态度。
35.What is the last paragraph mainly about

A.Application of the research results.
B.Doubts about the research methods.
C.Further explanation of the research findings.
D.Supporting evidence from previous research.

It’s easy to talk yourself out of exercising. Even when you have the best intentions to work out, excuses are so easy to find—“I’m too tired”， “I’m busy” or “The weather is bad”. Don’t worry! 36
※ Take baby steps.
You’ll never try to run 10 miles just in a single day, right When you do too much too soon, you’ll end up injured and disappointed.Take it easy as you get started.Maybe you only run a quarter of a mile during your first week. 37
※ 38
Your workout should be just as much a habit as brushing your teeth or eating breakfast. When it’s part of your routine (日常), you won’t even have to think about it. In a few months, fitness can be regular in your day.
※ Keep it real.
You’re not going to shake off 30 pounds in a week. 39 For example, if you work too late to get to a gym, keep a set of weights at home. If you can’t do 30 minutes at once, break it up into 10 or 15 minutes’ sections. Gradually, you should increase your workout schedule from 2 to 3 days a week, or exercise for 15 more minutes each time.
※Celebrate.
40 So even a pound of weight loss or a pound of muscle gain is the reason to reward (奖励) yourself. Go out with friends or buy a pair of jeans.
A.Do it for yourself.
B.Try to get used to it.
C.It takes weeks to see real changes.
D.Keep a fitness diary to record your progress.
E.Aim for something that is realistic as a first step.
F.The following ways can keep your fitness schedule on track.
G.When it gets easy for you, you’ll surely make it more challenging.

37.G [根据上文“You’ll never try to run 10 miles just in a single day, right ...Maybe you only run a quarter of a mile during your first week.”可知，上文提到不要一次进行太多锻炼，第一周只跑了四分之一英里也是可以的，本句为本段最后一句，应承接上文说明这一做法的结果：当它对你来说变得容易时，你肯定会使它更具挑战性。G项符合语境。故选G。]
38.B [空处为本段小标题。根据本段内容“Your workout should be just as much a habit as brushing your teeth or eating breakfast. ... fitness can be regular in your day.”可知，本段主要说明了锻炼应该成为一种习惯，B选项中get used to对应后文中habit。B项符合本段主旨，可以作为小标题。]
39.E [根据上文“You’re not going to shake off 30 pounds in a week.”可知，上文提到不可能在一周内减掉30磅，可见目标是能够实现的。E项符合语境。故选E。]
40.C [根据下文“So even a pound of weight loss or a pound of muscle gain is the reason to reward (奖励) yourself.”可知，即使一点点进步也要奖励自己；由此推知，空处说明奖励自己的原因，和下文形成因果关系。C项符合语境。]

Tammi, a lovely 9－month－old dog, arrived at the San Antonio Humane Society last month.She had been hit by a car with many injuries.Doctors operated on her immediately.The operation saved her life, but left her crippled (瘸的) in one leg.Under the care of the Humane Society, she was recovering from the injuries.However, the scar(疤痕)in her heart was always there.For most of the time, she was shy and alone, staying away from other dogs.The Humane Society worked around the clock to find Tammi a forever home.They wanted the sweet dog to be adopted(领养)as soon as possible.
Living in the same city, 19 miles away from San Antonio Humane Society was the Matthews.Bad luck struck the couple two months ago when their 7－year－old son was knocked down by a passing car on his way home.He died before he could be helped.This accident filled them with sadness every day.
It was then that the San Antonio Humane Society contacted them.They advised the couple to think about adopting a dog, which might put smile back on their faces.At first the couple disagreed with this idea but after their explanation the couple decided to give it a try the next day.That was how the Matthews first met Tammi.
注意： 续写词数应为80左右。
Surprisingly, seeing the couple, Tammi stood up and walked over to them slowly.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

【写作指导】

由首句内容“令人惊讶的是，看到这对夫妇，Tammi站了起来，慢慢地向他们走过去”可知，文章可描写Tammi 如何跟夫妇互动，成功地使自己被领养。
2.续写线索：上前示好——双方互动——产生联想——决定领养——带狗回家
【参考范文】
Surprisingly, seeing the couple, Tammi stood up and walked over to them slowly.Raising her nose, Tammi sniffed at both of them before she sat next to Mr Matthew, with her tail wagging happily.When Mrs Matthew reached out to pet her head，Tammi looked at her gently, as if they had been old friends.Barely had Mrs Matthew seen such a scene when she recalled her lovely son，who used to do the same.Pity welling up in her heart, she wiped her tears and turned to her husband, only to find he had signed something on a document.Waving goodbye to the Humane Society, the couple took Tammi home, all knowing that a new chapter would begin from now on.单元综合测评三

Various sports attract fans for different reasons: Spectator sports draw even more fans who just love to watch. Here are some of the most beloved sports worldwide.
Hockey－2 billion fans
Hockey, both on ice and on a field, wins a following of two billion enthusiastic fans worldwide. Field hockey is mainly played in Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia, while ice hockey is particularly popular in Canada and the US, where kids grow up playing pond hockey. Unlike ice hockey, field hockey usually does not involve body contact in the form of checking and hitting.
Football－4 billion fans
Football, better known as soccer in the US, is by far the most popular sport in the world.Experts estimate that the origin (起源) of football may go as far back as two thousand years, beginning in ancient China during the Han Dynasty. One major reason for football’s global popularity is that unlike other sports that require expensive equipment, all you need to play football is a ball and your feet.
Volleyball－900 million fans
Volleyball pits two teams across a high net, each attempting to smash the ball onto the opponent’s floor. A popular variant, beach volleyball, is competed on sand by pairs rather than the regular six players per team. The crowd appeal of beach volleyball has grown greatly in recent years.
Tennis－1 billion fans
An estimated one billion people worldwide follow professional tennis tournaments and matches. In tennis, players on both sides of a net try to hit a ball with a racket so that it either goes past their opponent (对手) or bounces twice on their opponent’s side of the court to score points. Tennis superstars like Rafael Nadal, and Serena Williams are now household names around the world, with huge international fan bases.

The first time I realized that I had a love for sports competitions was during the Field Day in elementary school. Small for my age, and more of a bookworm than a sports lover, I had suffered that special humiliation of being picked last for various gym teams. The Field Day, which focused on individual (个体的) skills, was different. In the Softball Throw event, I got my first taste of sporting victory. Credit goes to the example of my first coach, my father. He lifted weights every morning at home. He bought us all baseball gloves and hats, and in the warm months, we spent hours playing catch.
Once I got to sixth grade and switched to private school, our entire student body was assigned to either the Red or the White team. Throughout the year, we competed against each other in various games and exercises for points. I eventually became president of The Committee of Games. I also played on the field hockey team and the basketball team. And at home, playing tennis, skating, skiing and biking were simply normal things we did.During the break time, magazines were also quite popular for us teens. These regularly featured articles on physical exercise. Somehow, my college roommate and I took up the habit of completing Royal Canadian Air Force(RCAF) exercises every day, a practice that continued into my marriage, when we had no spare money to use to join a gym.
So, though it shocks some of our friends, that early foundation (基础) evolved in adulthood into a sports and fitness focus, considered essential even on vacation. I still love reading and the arts, too. As far as I’m concerned, life is the richest with my feet in both worlds.

Do you want to go to play some basketball in between hitting the books Doctors are starting to find more and more information that suggests a connection between exercise and brain development.
Judy Cameron, a scientist at Oregon Health and Science University, studies brain development. According to her research, it seems that exercise can make blood vessels (血管), including those in the brain, stronger and more fully developed.Dr. Cameron is sure that this allows people who exercise to think better. As she says, “While we already know that exercise is good for the heart, exercise can actually cause physical changes in the brain.”
The effects of exercise on brain development can even be seen in babies. Babies who often do activities show greater brain development than babies who are less physically active. Even a little movement can show big results. Margaret Barnes, a scientist, also believes in the importance of exercise. She thinks that many learning disabilities that children have in primary school or high school can result from a lack of movement as babies.
Older people can develop their brains as well. Cornell University studied a group of seniors who have a short－term memory increase of up to 40 percent after exercising just three hours a week. Also, exercise for older people should not be too simple. Learning some new skills or actions, such as with yoga or tai－chi, helps to open up memory paths in the brain that may not have been used for a long time. For most people, any type of physical activity that increases the heart rate is helpful. The main aim is to increase the brain’s flow of blood.And your brain can benefit from as little as two to three hours of exercise a week.

Anyone who’s lived through middle school knows those years can be particularly challenging. Some researches show youths across the U.S. are struggling with mental health. The physical health benefits of bike riding have been well－documented.Wilson, a researcher at Loma Linda University School of Medicine, and his co－authors carried out a new study to see if taking part in a cycling program could result in measurable changes in mind for teenagers.
The study involved more than 1，200 students, aged 11 to 14. Students participated in a cycling class for at least three days a week, for a period of 6 weeks. They learned cycling safety and practicing skills outdoors while raising their heart rate and just having fun. The students completed standardized questionnaires before and after the program designed to measure their health.
“We know cycling can benefit the body. Our research shows how it benefits the mind and social relationships as well. Bike riding can be an ideal activity for adolescents because of the benefits it offers，” said Wilson.
“Cycling engages several parts of brain function. You are looking at your hearing, you’re balancing, you’re navigating and turning. Oftentimes, you’re doing it with someone else, so there’s the positive effect of company or group activity，” said Allan Reiss, a professor at Stanford University School of Medicine.
While exercise has powerful mental health benefits, it’s not universal. For example, previous research has shown that teenage girls are at higher risk of mental health problems like depression and anxiety than boys. The current study found that, while middle school girls reported increased well－being after participating in the cycling program, that increase “may just reach the kind of baseline level for male students，” Wilson said.And other aspects of healthy living are also important, noted Wilson. The study found that teenagers who didn’t limit screen time to a maximum of two hours a day, or who got less than the recommended 8.5 hours of sleep, saw less improvement in their well－being, he said.
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。文章介绍了一项新的研究发现，骑自行车除了可以锻炼身体，还对青少年的大脑和社会关系有好处，且这种好处会有性别差异，也受到其他健康因素的影响。

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
It’s easy to talk yourself out of exercising. Even when you have the best intentions to work out, excuses are so easy to find—“I’m too tired”， “I’m busy” or “The weather is bad”. Don’t worry! 36
※ Take baby steps.
You’ll never try to run 10 miles just in a single day, right When you do too much too soon, you’ll end up injured and disappointed.Take it easy as you get started.Maybe you only run a quarter of a mile during your first week. 37
※ 38
Your workout should be just as much a habit as brushing your teeth or eating breakfast. When it’s part of your routine (日常), you won’t even have to think about it. In a few months, fitness can be regular in your day.
※ Keep it real.
You’re not going to shake off 30 pounds in a week. 39 For example, if you work too late to get to a gym, keep a set of weights at home. If you can’t do 30 minutes at once, break it up into 10 or 15 minutes’ sections. Gradually, you should increase your workout schedule from 2 to 3 days a week, or exercise for 15 more minutes each time.
※Celebrate.
40 So even a pound of weight loss or a pound of muscle gain is the reason to reward (奖励) yourself. Go out with friends or buy a pair of jeans.
A.Do it for yourself.
B.Try to get used to it.
C.It takes weeks to see real changes.
D.Keep a fitness diary to record your progress.
E.Aim for something that is realistic as a first step.
F.The following ways can keep your fitness schedule on track.
G.When it gets easy for you, you’ll surely make it more challenging.

37.G [根据上文“You’ll never try to run 10 miles just in a single day, right ...Maybe you only run a quarter of a mile during your first week.”可知，上文提到不要一次进行太多锻炼，第一周只跑了四分之一英里也是可以的，本句为本段最后一句，应承接上文说明这一做法的结果：当它对你来说变得容易时，你肯定会使它更具挑战性。G项符合语境。故选G。]

Living in the same city, 19 miles away from San Antonio Humane Society was the Matthews.Bad luck struck the couple two months ago when their 7－year－old son was knocked down by a passing car on his way home.He died before he could be helped.This accident filled them with sadness every day.

Various sports attract fans for different reasons: Spectator sports draw even more fans who just love to watch. Here are some of the most beloved sports worldwide.
Hockey－2 billion fans
Hockey, both on ice and on a field, wins a following of two billion enthusiastic fans worldwide. Field hockey is mainly played in Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia, while ice hockey is particularly popular in Canada and the US, where kids grow up playing pond hockey. Unlike ice hockey, field hockey usually does not involve body contact in the form of checking and hitting.
Football－4 billion fans
Football, better known as soccer in the US, is by far the most popular sport in the world.Experts estimate that the origin (起源) of football may go as far back as two thousand years, beginning in ancient China during the Han Dynasty. One major reason for football’s global popularity is that unlike other sports that require expensive equipment, all you need to play football is a ball and your feet.
Volleyball－900 million fans
Volleyball pits two teams across a high net, each attempting to smash the ball onto the opponent’s floor. A popular variant, beach volleyball, is competed on sand by pairs rather than the regular six players per team. The crowd appeal of beach volleyball has grown greatly in recent years.
Tennis－1 billion fans
An estimated one billion people worldwide follow professional tennis tournaments and matches. In tennis, players on both sides of a net try to hit a ball with a racket so that it either goes past their opponent (对手) or bounces twice on their opponent’s side of the court to score points. Tennis superstars like Rafael Nadal, and Serena Williams are now household names around the world, with huge international fan bases.
21.Which sport attracts the most fans according to the text
A.Volleyball. B.Hockey.
C.Football. D.Tennis.
22.What makes football popular all over the world
A.Its long history. B.Its great convenience.
C.Its unique origin. D.Its huge fan bases.
23.Which statement about the four sports is true
A.Playing ice hockey involves body contact.
B.Soccer is American people’s favorite sport.
C.Beach volleyball has attracted the most sports fans recently.
D.A tennis player loses one point if his ball goes past his opponent.

The first time I realized that I had a love for sports competitions was during the Field Day in elementary school. Small for my age, and more of a bookworm than a sports lover, I had suffered that special humiliation__of being picked last for various gym teams. The Field Day, which focused on individual (个体的) skills, was different. In the Softball Throw event, I got my first taste of sporting victory. Credit goes to the example of my first coach, my father. He lifted weights every morning at home. He bought us all baseball gloves and hats, and in the warm months, we spent hours playing catch.
Once I got to sixth grade and switched to private school, our entire student body was assigned to either the Red or the White team. Throughout the year, we competed against each other in various games and exercises for points. I eventually became president of The Committee of Games. I also played on the field hockey team and the basketball team. And at home, playing tennis, skating, skiing and biking were simply normal things we did.During the break time, magazines were also quite popular for us teens. These regularly featured articles on physical exercise. Somehow, my college roommate and I took up the habit of completing Royal Canadian Air Force(RCAF) exercises every day, a practice that continued into my marriage, when we had no spare money to use to join a gym.
So, though it shocks some of our friends, that early foundation (基础) evolved in adulthood into a sports and fitness focus, considered essential even on vacation. I still love reading and the arts, too. As far as I’m concerned, life is the richest with my feet in both worlds.
24.What does the underlined word “humiliation” mean in Paragraph 1
A.Responsibility. B.Shock.
C.Shame. D.Glory.
25.The author thought she won in the Softball Throw event because of ______________.
A.her confidence in her sports skills
B.the efforts she put into exercising
C.her advanced sports gloves and hats
D.the strong influence of her father
26.What happened after the author stepped into adulthood
A.She changed the focus into reading.
B.She stuck to working out.
C.She regularly exercised on weekends.
D.She joined Royal Canadian Air Force.
27.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A.To express her love for sports.
B.To show her father’s guidance on sports.
C.To stress the advantages of physical exercise.
D.To share her childhood memories about sports.

Do you want to go to play some basketball in between hitting the books Doctors are starting to find more and more information that suggests a connection between exercise and brain development.
Judy Cameron, a scientist at Oregon Health and Science University, studies brain development. According to her research, it seems that exercise can make blood vessels (血管), including those in the brain, stronger and more fully developed.Dr. Cameron is sure that this allows people who exercise to think better. As she says, “While we already know that exercise is good for the heart, exercise can actually cause physical changes in the brain.”
The effects of exercise on brain development can even be seen in babies. Babies who often do activities show greater brain development than babies who are less physically active. Even a little movement can show big results. Margaret Barnes, a scientist, also believes in the importance of exercise. She thinks that many learning disabilities that children have in primary school or high school can result from a lack of movement as babies.
Older people can develop their brains as well. Cornell University studied a group of seniors who have a short－term memory increase of up to 40 percent after exercising just three hours a week. Also, exercise for older people should not be too simple. Learning some new skills or actions, such as with yoga or tai－chi, helps to open up memory paths in the brain that may not have been used for a long time. For most people, any type of physical activity that increases the heart rate is helpful. The main aim is to increase the brain’s flow of blood.And your brain can benefit from as little as two to three hours of exercise a week.
28.What is the main idea of this text
A.How to exercise every week.
B.How exercise makes people strong.
C.How exercise helps the brain develop.
D.How the brain can change one’s memory.
29.According to the text, what is the connection between exercise and brain development
A.Exercise helps soften our blood vessels.
B.Physical exercise helps us think better.
C.The brain needs special mental exercise.
D.The more exercise, the bigger the brain.
30.Why is yoga suggested for seniors
A.It can be done in groups.
B.It does good to the bones of old people.
C.It does not increase the heart rate.
D.It includes learning new skills.
31.Why is the physical activity that increases the heart rate useful
A.It can improve the brain’s flow of blood.
B.It can slow down the brain’s flow of blood.
C.It can change older people’s mood for the better.
D.It can make seniors forget previous terrible things.

Anyone who’s lived through middle school knows those years can be particularly challenging. Some researches show youths across the U.S. are struggling with mental health. The physical health benefits of bike riding have been well－documented.Wilson, a researcher at Loma Linda University School of Medicine, and his co－authors carried out a new study to see if taking part in a cycling program could result in measurable changes in mind for teenagers.
The study involved more than 1，200 students, aged 11 to 14. Students participated in a cycling class for at least three days a week, for a period of 6 weeks. They learned cycling safety and practicing skills outdoors while raising their heart rate and just having fun. The students completed standardized questionnaires before and after the program designed to measure their health.
“We know cycling can benefit the body. Our research shows how it benefits the mind and social relationships as well. Bike riding can be an ideal activity for adolescents because of the benefits it offers，” said Wilson.
“Cycling engages several parts of brain function. You are looking at your hearing, you’re balancing, you’re navigating and turning. Oftentimes, you’re doing it with someone else, so there’s the positive effect of company or group activity，” said Allan Reiss, a professor at Stanford University School of Medicine.
While exercise has powerful mental health benefits, it’s not universal. For example, previous research has shown that teenage girls are at higher risk of mental health problems like depression and anxiety than boys. The current study found that, while middle school girls reported increased well－being after participating in the cycling program, that increase “may just reach the kind of baseline level for male students，” Wilson said.And other aspects of healthy living are also important, noted Wilson. The study found that teenagers who didn’t limit screen time to a maximum of two hours a day, or who got less than the recommended 8.5 hours of sleep, saw less improvement in their well－being, he said.
32.What does the new study mainly focus on
A.Challenges in middle school.
B.Youths in America.
C.Physical benefits of cycling.
D.Mental effects of bike riding.
33.What did the students do in the program
A.Attend the cycling class for a week.
B.Learn how to keep safe while cycling.
C.Raise their heart rate by cycling indoors.
D.Design questions to measure their health.
34.What is Reiss’s attitude to the result of the study
A.Supportive. B.Doubtful.
C.Unclear. D.Negative.
35.What is the last paragraph mainly about
A.Application of the research results.
B.Doubts about the research methods.
C.Further explanation of the research findings.
