    Exercise helps to keep us in good health. Doctors at the American Heart Association suggest getting at least 150 minutes of proper physical activity every week. Many people exercise for a few minutes every day or every other day. So, getting 150 minutes every week is easy.

    But what about those times when you are sick? If you do not feel well, should you keep following your exercise habit? Health experts answer these and other questions.

    Edward R. Laskowski is a doctor at the Mayo Clinic. He and other experts have a general rule of yes about exercising when you are sick.  It is usually fine to exercise, he explains, if your symptoms (症状)are all "above the neck". These signs may include a runny nose, a blocked nose, sneezing or a minor sore throat.

    Geralyn Coopersmith is a physical fitness trainer who has written several books on exercise and nutrition. Both Coopersmith and Dr. Laskowski suggest taking a break from exercising if signs of your illness appear "below the neck". Pay special attention to symptoms such as chest congestion, extreme cough or pain in the stomach.

    There are other symptoms that can tell you to avoid exercise. They include: a higher than normal body temperature, a sense of feeling extremely tired, and widespread muscle pain.

    Both Coopersmith and Dr. Laskowski suggest listening to your body. If you feel really bad, take a break and let your body rest. If you don't feel too bad, these experts both suggest reducing the amount of exercise. For example, if you usually run, take a quick walk instead.

  1. (1) How long should people do exercise to keep healthy?
    A . About 150 minutes per day. B . Around 100 minutes per day. C . At least 150 minutes per week. D . No more than 100 minutes per week.
  2. (2) When will Edward R. Laskowski say no to exercise?
    A . When your left leg is broken. B . When you have a runny noses. C . When you have a blocked nose. D . When you have a minor sore throat.
  3. (3) What is the meaning of "listening to your body" in Paragraph 6?
    A . Be careful with your cars. B . Learn to take advice of others. C . Pay attention to body signals. D . Listen to music to keep healthy.

    Three years ago I worked for a few weeks as a doctor in a new dental clinic(牙科诊所)at Victor Harbor to the south of Adelaide and an hour further away than my usual workplace. My first day there was a driving to a new clinic and getting used to the clinical environment.

During my lunch break, I noticed the tissue and thought that it did not look very clean and threw it into the rubbish bin. I went about my work and my day went well; I met new patients and felt that I had been productive

    Driving home at the end of the day, just moments before I reach that were missing. I felt the heat in my body rise, my cheeks(脸颊)burning red. I felt sick to my stomach.

    I spat an hour or so making calls, trying to find my rings. The first people I called were and clinical leader and they gave me a few phone numbers for cleaners I got in touch with already who managed the leaning services for the clinic, and she told me that the bins had already been collected.

    I knew nothing could be done now. I had lost my rings. Bu after two or so hours, I received the most amazing phone cal. The cleaner had gone through the bins and found my rings! I was so thankful to her, someone who had taken the trouble to go through the bins-which is not a pleasant task-to find my priceless rings.

    Adventure seeker Emma broke her ankle when she fell awkwardly while climbing a rock and spent a week in hospital waiting for an operation on her foot. When she was sent home to recover under strict instructions not to bear any weight, she became so fearful of crutches (拐杖) that she didn't move for three weeks. "I tried crutches but I kept falling over and injuring myself. So I literally just stayed on the sofa all day," says Emma.

    She was gutted at the thought of missing the Wolf Run—a quarterly (季度的) event that she hasn't missed since 2014. "If you complete four Wolf Runs in a year, one in each season, you can get Alpha Wolf status," explains Emma. "This year was going to be my fifth in a row as an Alpha Wolf and I was really upset that I'd lose my status." So she was willing to try anything to get through the course—even with her injured ankle.

     "I was telling my friend that I was going to cancel, but he persuaded me to give it a go. Having something to aim for really kept me going." Emma completed the run wearing an iWALK2.0, which is a medically approved device and it basically functions like a hi-tech artificial leg, allowing users to walk freely. "I decided to get one and it completely changed my recovery. I could move around the house and start getting out and about again, which had a real impact on my mental well-being."

    On the day of the race, Emma was nervous but the sound of people cheering her on kept her motivated. Emma made it over the finish line in just under six hours and clocked up (达到) her 23rd Wolf Run in six years. "It was an incredible day and my determination to finish combined with the support I received along the way kept me going," says Emma.

  1. (1) Why was Emma frightened to use crutches?
    A . She was afraid of recovering slowly. B . She was warned not to move around. C . She just had an operation on her foot. D . She often got injured when using them.
  2. (2) What does the underlined word "gutted" mean in Paragraph 2?
    A . Extremely sad. B . A bit relieved. C . Very surprised. D . Pretty cheerful.
  3. (3) What actually made Emma take part in the race?
    A . Her new hi-tech artificial leg. B . Her fear of letting her friend down. C . Her strong desire to achieve her ambition. D . Her complete recovery from the operation.
  4. (4) Which of the following best describes Emma?
    A . Strong-willed. B . Supportive. C . Creative. D . Humorous.
到目前为止,演讲委员会已宣布了这些演讲的题目。

When you say that someone has a good memory, what exactly do you mean? Are you saying that the person has fast recall or that he or she __51__ information quickly? Or maybe you just mean that the person remembers a lot about her or his childhood. The truth is that it is __52__ to say exactly what memory is. Even scientists who have been studying memory for decades say they are still trying to __53__ exactly what it is. We do know that a particular memory is not just one thing stored somewhere in the brain. __54__, a memory is made up of bits and pieces of information stored all over the brain. Perhaps the best way to __55__ memory is to say that it is a process a process of recording, storing, and getting back information. Practice and repetition can help to __56__ the pieces that make up our memory of that information.

Memory can be __57__ affected by a number of things. __58__ nutrition can affect a person’s capability of storing information. Excessive alcohol use can also weaken memory and cause permanent __59__ to the brain over the long term. A vision or hearing problem may affect a person’s power to notice certain things, thus making it __60__ to register information in the brain.

When people talk about memory, they often __61__ short-term memory and long-term memory. If you want to call a store or an office that you don’t call often, you look in the telephone book for the number. You dial the number, and then you forget it! You use your short-term memory to remember the number. Your short-term memory lasts about 30 seconds, or half a minute. __62__, you don’t need to look in the telephone book for your best friend’s number, because you already know it. This number is in your long-term memory, which __63__ information about things you have learned and experienced through the years.

Why do you forget things sometimes? The major reason for forgetting something is that you did not learn it well enough __64__. For example, if you meet some new people and right away forget their names, it is because you did not __65__ the names at the first few seconds when you heard them.
