If you think that running marathons will help you live a long and healthy life, new research may come as a shock.According to a recent scientific study, people who do a very strenuous workout are as likely to die as people who do no exercise at all.

Scientists in Denmark have been studying over 1，000 joggers (慢跑者) and non­joggers for 12 years.The death rates from the sample group indicate that people who jog at a proper pace two or three times a week for less than two and a half hours in total are least likely to die.The best speed to jog at was found to be about 5 miles per hour.The research suggests that people who jog more than three times a week or at higher speeds of over 7 mph die at the same rate as non­joggers.The scientists think that this is because strenuous exercise causes structural changes to the heart and arteries (动脉)．Over time, this can cause serious injuries.

Peter Schnohr, a researcher in Copenhagen, said, “If your goal is to decrease risk of death and improve life expectancy (寿命)，jogging a few times a week at a proper pace is a good strategy.Anything more is not just unnecessary, and it may be harmful.”

The implications (暗示) of this are that moderate forms of exercise such as tai chi, yoga and walking may be better for us than “iron man” events, triathlons and long­distance running and cycling.According to Jacob Louis Marott, another researcher involved in the study, “You don't actually have to do that much to have a good impact on your health.And perhaps you shouldn't actually do too much.”

24．The underlined word “strenuous” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to “        ”．

A．regular B．hard

C．practical D．flexible

25．The author presents some figures in Paragraph 2 to      ．

A．suggest giving up jogging

B．show risks of doing sports

C．provide supportive evidence

D．introduce the research process

26．According to the scientists, why is too much exercise harmful?

A．It may injure the heart and arteries.

B．It can make the body tired out.

C．It will bring much pressure.

D．It consumes too much energy.

27．What can be inferred from the text?

A．No exercise at all is the best choice.

B．More exercise means a healthier life.

C．Marathons runners are least likely to die.

D．Proper exercise contributes to good health.

C

Finding time to do both homework and exercise is getting easier for students at a growing number of schools. Workout machines are appearing in many school libraries. The latest school to fix the Bike Desk is Troy University,  which now has a total of six in the libraries. Over the past three years,  the Bike Desks have also been fixed at four other universities.

The idea of pushing “active workplaces” is far from new. From standing offices to treadmill (跑步机)meetings,  companies have been exploring the benefits of getting employees up from their desks—benefits that include higher morale (士气)and improved work performance. And a recent study that focuses on younger children suggests a strong connection between physical activities and good grades.

Chris Shaffer,  who is director of library services at Troy University,  says he thought it would be worth experimenting with the machines. “The final goal is to make the library a welcoming place that our students want to visit, ” says Shaffer,  “If we can find a way to let our students study and become healthier at the same time,  then I am all for it. ” He says the experiment has been so successful so far that the university has ordered three additional Bike Desks.

Troy junior Niquette says the bikes have been in use every day he has visited the library. “Keeping a proper diet and exercise schedule during college is near impossible,  ”he says,  “These offer a special way to study and I hope the university continues to add more. ” Senior Raven hasn’t used the Bike Desks yet but says she wishes they’d been fixed sooner. “I remember being a junior and the gym is so crowded,  with the smell of sweat,  loud music and people moving around, ” Raven says,  “I think the machines are a great idea. You can do sports quietly while others focus on their study. ”

28. What can we learn from the first paragraph?

A. University students are doing more exercise now.

B. Doing homework is easy for university students now.

C. Troy University introduced the Bike Desk to other schools.

D. Fixing workout machines in libraries is becoming popular.

29. What is the second paragraph mainly about?

A. The types of exercise at workplaces.

B. The explanation of work performance.

C. The development of active workplaces.

D. The benefits of exercising during work and study.

30. What is the purpose of fixing the Bike Desks according to Shaffer?

A. To make the library attractive to students.

B. To make students become healthier.

C. To help students to get good grades.

D. To do experiments on the machines.

31. What do Niquette and Raven think about the bikes?

A. They are easy to ride.

B. They are really useful.

C. They make the library noisy.

D. They distract students.

D

If it really is what’s on the inside that counts,  then a lot of thin people might be in trouble.

Some doctors now think that the internal fat surrounding important organs like the heart or liver could be as dangerous as the external fat which can be noticed more easily.

“Being thin doesn’t surely mean you are not fat”,  said Dr. Jimmy Bell at Imperial College.

Since 1994,  Bell and his team have scanned nearly 800 people with MRI machines to create “fat maps” showing where people store fat.

According to the result,  people who keep their weight through diet rather than exercise are likely to have major deposits of internal fat,  even if they are slim.

Even people with normal Body Mass Index scores can have surprising levels of fat deposits inside. Of the women,  as many as 45 percent of those with normal BMI scores (20 to 25) actually had too high levels of internal fat. Among men,  the percentage was nearly 60 percent.

According to Bell,  people who are fat on the inside are actually on the edge of being fat. They eat too many fatty and sugary foods,  but they are not eating enough to be fat. Scientists believe we naturally store fat around the belly first,  but at some point,  the body may start storing it elsewhere.

Doctors are unsure about the exact dangers of internal fat,  but some think it has something to do with heart disease and diabetes (糖尿病). They want to prove that internal fat damages the body’s communication systems.

The good news is that internal fat can be easily burned off through exercise or even by improving your diet. “If you want to be healthy,  there is no shortcut. Exercise has to be an important part of your lifestyle, ” Bell said.

32. What is this passage mainly about?

A. Thin people may be fat inside.

B. Internal fat is of no importance.

C. Internal fat leads to many diseases.

D. Thin people don’t have diabetes.

33. Doctors have found ______.  

A. the exact dangers of internal fat

B. being slim is not dangerous at all

C. internal fat is the cause of heart disease

D. being slim doesn’t mean you are not fat inside

34. What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A. Internal fat leading to disease has been proved.

B. Thin people usually have internal fat even if they are slim.

C. It is easier to burn off internal fat than external fat.

D. Exercise plays an important role in people’s life for keeping healthy.

35. What does the underlined word “shortcut” in the last paragraph mean?

A. A long road.

B. A good diet.

C. A clear difference.

D. A short distance.

Critical thinking means absorbing important information and using that to form a decision or opinion of your own.    36    But luckily, it’s something you can train yourself to do better.

One of the most important parts of thinking critically is learning what details matter. We’re exposed to so much information and so many different opinions every day that it’s really easy to get lost in the details.    37  

Knowing which details are the most important is the first part of critical thinking, but it’s pretty useless if you don’t know what types of questions to ask next.    38    It’s important to always ask yourself why something is important and how it connects to things you already know. As you do that, you train your brain to think critically about more information you come across.

As with anything, if you want to get good at critical thinking, you need to practice it every day.    39    This could be casual observations or a notebook with opinions, but the point is to write every single day. Likewise, participating in a healthy debate with friends is great practice.

   40    The more knowledge you gain, the better you’ll become at thinking about it. That doesn’t mean that you should be constantly thinking about thinking, but the end result is a brain that automatically forms better arguments, focused ideas, and creative solutions to problems.

A. Critical thinking doesn't end.

B. It doesn’t always come naturally to us.

C. Critical thinking can’t be learned in school.

D. You should question all the provided details.

E. One easy way to do this is to keep a journal of some kind.

F. After all, thinking critically and asking questions go hand in hand.

G. As a result, we need to train ourselves to learn which details matter.
