译林版（2019）高中英语 必修第二册 Unit 2 Be sporty, be healthy单元综合检测

This weekly four­day physical activity schedule will get your kids excited about being active.

Tuesday

When the kids get home from school, don't let them go straight to the TV and get settled in. Encourage them to get moving and get off the sofa by giving them a pedometer(计步器). Pedometers are the most fun when parents also use one because that turns stepping, walking and running into a game to see who can get the most steps.

Thursday

The kids have done a great job so far this week, but now they long for a little more TV time. Instead of turning on cartoons, let them watch fitness movies made just for kids. These movies encourage watchers to get up and dance along to kid­friendly music.

Saturday

Get the whole family out of the house together and over to a park. Bring lots of sports equipment, pack a healthy picnic and have a family competitive sports day. Kids and adults get into groups and play against each other in tennis, basketball or soccer. After everyone has played hard for a couple of hours, stop for a picnic and then if your family isn't too tired, go back and play some more.

Sunday

Every child loves to play video games and there is no better time to allow kids to play them than on Sunday when no homework is due. But don't let them play a game that forces them to sit down for hours. Dance games with a floor mat(垫子) to help kids follow the dance moves are popular to kids.

Playing basketball isn't ladylike. That's what Jewell Chapman's high school headmaster told her in 1961 when he was against the girls' basketball program.

"We were very discouraged, " said Chapman, a forward(前锋)for her high school team of Des Moines.

Nearly 50 years later, Chapman is back on the playground. She's 62 and plays for "Hot Pink Grannies", joining about 10 other women on a team whose uniforms are black trousers and hot pink socks. They play in the Iowa Granny Basketball League.

It's one of dozens of basketball leagues for women over 50 that have arisen across the country. For some, it's a chance to exercise and meet people; for others, it's a once­refused chance to make up.

"You see more and more elderly women's teams taking part in state and national competitions," said Michael Rogers, a professor in sports studies at Wichita State University. "In the future it will be something common to have leagues like this."

Yearly surveys by the National Sporting Goods Association show the number of women aged 55 and older who play basketball at least 50 times a year has grown from 16, 000 in 1995 to nearly 131, 000 ten years later.

The women on the Hot Pink Grannies are good­natured but competitive when game time comes.

"I think I'm tough", says Colleen Pulliam, 69, showing off her strong arms at her challengers in a game against "Strutters", known for their bright yellow socks.

Granny Basketball Leagues and similar groups spread quickly through much of the country, including California, Louisiana, New Mexico, Pennsylvania and Washington, D. C.

Pilates, yoga and the running machine get all the attention when it comes to popular ways to stay healthy. There is, however, a more humble exercise that might not be so attractive, but has all the benefits－walking.

Certified fitness professional Jolynn Jaekel explains, "What I love about walking is that anyone can do it at any age and any fitness level. Plus, it is good for your heart, your head and your wallet. "

A recent report details the health benefits of walking. The report found that walking regularly to fulfill the 150 minutes of moderate physical exercise every week, recommended by the UK's chief medical officer, could save 37, 000 lives each year. Scientists at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California found that quick walking reduces the risk of heart disease more effectively than running. They observed participants aged between 18 and 80 over a six­year period and found that walking reduced the risk of heart disease by 9. 3%, while running reduced it by 4. 5%. And there is even more good news: 30 minutes of quick walking over five days could help you sleep easily, according to research by Oregon State University. The study by the university showed that walking helped participants sleep better and feel more alert during the day. The sooner you get started, the sooner you'll notice the differences in your mind and body. So, go out for your 30­minute walk in a nearby park or green space.

If you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think. This is the research finding of a team of Japanese doctors, who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise and, as a result, we are growing old unnecessarily soon.

Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why quite healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at a rather early age, and how the speed of getting old could be slowed down.

With a team of researchers at Tokyo National University, he set about measuring brain volumes (脑量) of a thousand people of different ages with different jobs. Computer technology helped the researchers to get most exact measurements of the volume of the front and side parts of the brain, which have something to do with intellect and feelings, and decide the human character. As we all know, the back part of the brain, which controls the tasks like eating and breathing, does not contract (萎缩) with age.

Contraction of front and side parts — as cells die off — was seen in some people in their thirties, but it was still not found in some sixty and seventy­year­olds.

Matsuzawa concluded from his tests that there is a simple way to prevent the contraction — using the head.

The findings show that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns. "Those with least possibility, "says Matsuzawa, "are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. White collar workers doing the same work day after day in government offices are, however, as possible to have contracting brains as the farm workers, bus drivers and shop assistants."

In the world nothing is more important than health. If people took away our money, houses, cars, or even our clothes, we could still survive.  Then how can we keep healthy?

First of all, we should eat healthily. I usually avoid eating food high in fat, like French fries or cookies, which are junk food.  I only eat little meat.  It helps us build a strong body. Regular exercise is an important part of keeping me healthy. In addition, I think friends are an important part of one's health.  I always feel better when I am with friends than when I am alone. When I am with my friends, I always laugh. Laughing is also an important part of health. It is good to stay with my friends.

By eating properly and exercising regularly, I can keep my body at a proper weight and keep healthy. By spending time with my friends, I can keep my mind as well as my body happy. These things sound easy to do, but many people can't manage them.

A. What's more, taking exercise is very important.

B. Some people appear fat because they often eat too much.

C. I think a strong will is necessary if we want to keep fit.

D. I eat a lot of vegetables and fresh fruits which are full of vitamins.

E. There are some people who like staying alone, but they keep healthy.

F. But if our health were taken away, we could surely die.

G. Many studies show that people with few friends often get sick.

What lessons did you 6 during your time as a professional tennis player that you didn't learn 7 an amateur(业余运动员)?" To be honest, I had a personal reason for asking this question. I played baseball in college, but not 8. So I wanted to know what I missed.

Davenport's first 9 was to talk about how she had to grow up fast. She mentioned the power of the media and learning to live her life in front of a(n)10. But then she changed the 11 and talked about improving her skill and the lessons of competition, hard work, and perseverance. Those things, she said, were learned long12 she became a professional. In other words, to learn about what it's like to 13 as a professional athlete, you need to be a professional athlete. But to learn the lessons of playing sports, you just need to 14 your sport.

Take note: you don't need to be the best in order to be 15 or satisfied, but all that matters is that you play the game.

It had been a year since Susan, an attractive young woman of 34, became blind and she was suddenly thrown into a world of darkness, anger, frustration and self pity. And all she had to cling to was her husband, Mark.

Mark, an Air Force officer, loved Susan with all his heart and he was determined to help his wife gain the strength and confidence she needed to become independent again.

Finally, Susan felt ready to return to her job, but how would she get there? Mark volunteered to drive her to work each day, even though they worked at opposite ends of the city.

At first, this comforted Susan. Soon, however, Mark decided that Susan had to start taking the bus again on her own. But she was still so fragile, so angry—how would she react?

Just as he predicted, Susan was horrified at the idea of taking the bus again. "How am I supposed to know where I am going? I feel like you're abandoning me." she responded bitterly.

Mark's heart broke to hear these words, but he knew what had to be done. He promised Susan that he would ride the bus with her, for as long as it took, until she got the hang of it.

For two solid weeks, Mark, in military uniform and all, accompanied Susan to and from work each day. He taught her everything to adapt to her new environment, including befriending the bus drivers who could watch out for her, and save her a seat.

Finally, Susan decided to try the trip on her own. Monday morning arrived, she said good­bye to Mark, and for the first time, they went their separate ways.

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday…Each day on her own went perfectly, and Susan had never felt better. She was doing it!

On Friday morning, as she was paying the fare to get off the bus as usual, the driver said, "Young lady, I sure do envy you."

Surprised and curious, she asked the driver, "Why do you say that you envy me?"

Paragraph 1：

The driver responded, "It must feel good to be taken care of and protected like you are every day."

Paragraph 2：

Tears of happiness poured down Susan's cheeks.
