Ⅰ.阅读理解
Loyd Black decided to join the Anytime Fitness gym in Semmes, Alabama last year after he found himself struggling to accomplish simple household tasks.The 91yearold man hoped that joining a gym might help him build strength and reduce his aches and pains.Over the past year, Black has been faithfully coming to the gym three times a week.His overalls(工装连体裤) really catch plenty of attention.He says that he prefers to wear overalls during his workouts because they are comfortable, and he has “trouble keeping his trousers up” otherwise.
When Black first joined Anytime Fitness, gym manager Ashley Seaman said he could barely last 10 minutes on the treadmill(跑步机) without becoming winded.Now, however, the senior can effortlessly do power walking for thirty minutes before moving on to his workout routine.As a means of praising Black for his advance, Seaman recently named Black “Member of the Month”.
He also takes time to help other seniors new to the gym learn how to use the weightlifting machines. “He's just a friendly soul.He will go to the other elderly members and show them how to use the machines,” Seaman shared in a post on the gym's Facebook page.“Someone like him always encourages others to keep it up and include fitness in their life,” the post read.“Seeing him work out three times a week in his overalls brightens our day!”
As a result of his work at the gym, Black finds it easier to mow(割) the seven acres of grass at his house and tool around in his woodworking shop.He experiences less daily discomfort and moves more easily.He always says, “Age is just a number and it doesn't mean you can't get into the gym.”
