Question

There have always been a lot of commonly believed but false ideas about being fat and doing exercise. Some people believe that they can't help putting on weight as they get older，while others hold that if they stop exercising，their muscles will turn into fat. Here are some more myths：

I'll never lose weight—I come from a fat family

Wrong！While we can't change the body type we are born with，we can't blame our genes for making us fat. There's plenty of evidence that fatness runs in families，and the main reason is that they share the same habits of eating too much and exercising too little.

I am fat because I burn calories slowly

Wrong！Fatness is not caused by a slow metabolism(新陈代谢). In fact，although fat people consume more energy than slim people，they also fail to realize how much they eat！Keeping a diary can help you work out your daily food intake more accurately.

Exercise is boring

Wrong！Anything will become boring if you do it repetitively. The key is to develop a balanced and varied program that's fun as well as progressive. If you enjoy a Sunday walk，take a different route. If you do yoga，try a tai chi class. If you like swimming，set yourself a distance or time challenge.

No pain，no gain

Wrong！Exercise is not meant to hurt. Indeed，pain is your body telling you something's wrong，and continuing to exercise could lead to serious injury. You may experience mild discomfort as you begin to exercise regularly，but this is your body adapting to the positive changes in your lifestyle and the aches should disappear relatively quickly. If they don't，rest and seek medical advice.

考点：健康环保类阅读

【名师点睛】

健康环保类文章阅读技巧：

健康环保类文章常是介绍科学知识、生活常识和环境保护方面的短文。阅读此类短文要以现象或事物为中心进行思考，理解现象产生的原因、条件和客观规律等。同时要抓住事物的特征、用途和相互关系等。科普环保类文章一般为说明文，从结构上看大致可分为三个部分：

第一部分一般是文章的首段，主要用来提出文章的主题，即文章想要阐述、说明的主要内容；例如5.

第二部分是文章的主体，可由若干个段落组成，对文章的主题进行展开说明；

第三部分是结尾段，对文章的主题进行归纳总结。这类文章多用一般现在时，而且一般多使用客观性词语表述。有时为了强调客观性，也常使用被动语态。

从近几年的考试题来看，科普环保类的文章越来越与人们的实际生活相接近。由于此类文章缺乏故事情节，很多同学对此类文章感到费解。但一般的科普类文章都是就事论事，需要逻辑推理和想象的时候较少，因此此类阅读题也没有同学们想象中的那么难，只要多加训练，就能较好地答题。
