    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 six-year 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 days could help you sleep easily. 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 30-minute walk in a nearby park or green space.

1.The underlined word “humble” in the first paragraph probably means ___________.

A.simple B.relaxing

C.popular D.active

2.What does Jolynn Jaekel think of walking?

A.It is loved by people of all ages.

B.It is much healthier than running.

C.It is a money-saving physical exercise.

D.It's becoming more and more popular.

3.What did scientists at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory find?

A.Walking helps people with sleep problems.

B.Walking contributes to curing heart disease.

C.Walking 150 minutes per week can save lives.

D.Walking is better than running in some cases.

4.In which section of a newspaper can we read this text?

1.A 2.C 3.D 4.B 【解析】 这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了步行这种运动方式的好处。 1.词义猜测题。第一句(Pilates, yoga and the running machine get all the attention when it comes to popular ways to stay healthy)提到:普拉提、瑜伽和跑步机是最受欢迎的保持健康的方法。画线词前面有more,和普拉提、瑜伽和跑步机相比,步行既不需要专门的设备,也不需要复杂的动作。由此推知,步行是更为“简单”的一种锻炼方式。故选A。 2.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Plus, it is good for your heart, your head and your wallet”可知,它对你的心脏、大脑和钱包都有好处。“对钱包有好处”的意思是“省钱”。故选C。 3.推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Scientists at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California found that quick walking reduces the risk of heart disease more effectively than running”可知,加州劳伦斯伯克利国家实验室的科学家发现,快走比跑步更能有效降低患心脏病的风险。从这个角度而言判断出,步行比跑步好。故选D。 4.推理判断题。根据第一段中的“There is, however, a more humble exercise that might not be so attractive, but has all the benefits-walking”和下文的具体介绍可知,文章主要介绍了步行这种运动方式的好处。这是和健康生活方式相关的内容。应出现在报纸上的“生活方式”版块。故选B。

    Facial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and relationships. For example, in American culture (文化) the smile is in general an expression of pleasure. Yet it also has other uses. A woman’s smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child. A smile may show love or politeness. It can also hide true feelings. It often causes confusion (困惑) across cultures. For example, many people in Russia consider smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper. Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places (although this is less common in big cities).Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places; some Americans believe that Russians don’t smile enough. In Southeast Asian cultures, a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings. Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile.

Our faces show emotions (情感), but we should not attempt to "read" people from another culture as we would "read" someone from our own culture. The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as do members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions.

Rather, there are cultural differences in the amount of facial expressions permitted. For example, in public and in formal situations many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do. When with friends, Japanese and Americans seem to show their emotions similarly.

It is difficult to generalize about Americans and facial expressiveness because of personal and cultural differences in the United States. People from certain cultural backgrounds in the United States seem to be more facially expressive than others. The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are different. If we judge according to our own cultural habits, we may make the mistake of "reading" the other person incorrectly.

1.What does the smile usually mean in America?

A.Love. B.Politeness.

C.Joy. D.Thankfulness.

2.The author mentions the smile of the Vietnamese to prove that smile can ___ .

A.show friendliness to strangers

B.be used to hide true feelings

C.be used in the wrong places

D.show personal habits

3.What should we do before attempting(尝试) to "read" people?

A.Learn about their relations with others.

B.Understand their cultural backgrounds.

C.Find out about their past experience.

D.Figure out what they will do next.

4.What would be the best title for the test?

A.Cultural Differences

B.Smiles and Relationship

C.Facial Expressiveness

D.Habits and Emotions
