In recent years, plank exercise (平板支撑) has become more and more popular. It’s easy to find a proper place to do plank exercise. You can even do it with a chair! But you need to use a stable chair to make sure your safety. It is dangerous if the chair moves during exercise. Moreover, doing plank exercise regularly may bring you lots of benefits.
Performing plank exercise as a daily home exercise before or after school will not only speed up your metabolism (新陈代谢), but also keep your metabolic rate (速率) high all day long. Doing it regularly will make you burn lots of calories (卡路里). This is especially useful if you have to sit in the classroom for hours every day. A high metabolic rate will help you lose weight and keep in good shape.
Have you ever tried standing on one leg? You couldn’t stand straight for more than ten seconds on one leg, right? It’s because your muscles (肌肉) aren’t strong enough to give you the balance you need. Doing plank exercise regularly will improve your balance. Stronger muscles will also help you stand straight longer.
▲ Just think about it: You are sitting all day long. Your muscles get tired, and your legs get heavy. Plank exercise will relax the muscle groups that may cause stress in your body. As a result, it can have a powerful and positive effect on our mood.
Considering all the benefits of plank exercise, will you make it part of your everyday life?
26. What does the underlined word “stable” mean?
A. Not easily moved. B. Not dirty. C. Not common. D. Not skillful.
27. Which picture shows the change in your metabolic rate after you complete plank exercise? (x=time; y=metabolic rate)
A. B. C. D.
28. Why can’t some people stand straight for more than ten seconds on one leg?
A. Because they are drunk. B. Because their muscles are tired.
C. Because their muscles are weak. D. Because they have fewer muscles.
29. Which of the following can be put in the ▲ in Paragraph 4?
A. Everyone needs plank exercise. B. Plank exercise is simple for us.
C. Plank exercise is the best way to exercise. D. You will also get some mental benefits.
30. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. The danger of regular plank exercise.
B. The benefits of regular plank exercise.
C. The growing popularity of plank exercise.
D. Common mistakes in doing plank exercise.

Who hid it underground and why did they do so?

In recent years, plank exercise (平板支撑) has become more and more popular. It’s easy to find a proper place to do plank exercise. You can even do it with a chair! But you need to use a stable chair to make sure your safety. It is dangerous if the chair moves during exercise. Moreover, doing plank exercise regularly may bring you lots of benefits.
Performing plank exercise as a daily home exercise before or after school will not only speed up your metabolism (新陈代谢), but also keep your metabolic rate (速率) high all day long. Doing it regularly will make you burn lots of calories (卡路里). This is especially useful if you have to sit in the classroom for hours every day. A high metabolic rate will help you lose weight and keep in good shape.
Have you ever tried standing on one leg? You couldn’t stand straight for more than ten seconds on one leg, right? It’s because your muscles (肌肉) aren’t strong enough to give you the balance you need. Doing plank exercise regularly will improve your balance. Stronger muscles will also help you stand straight longer.
▲ Just think about it: You are sitting all day long. Your muscles get tired, and your legs get heavy. Plank exercise will relax the muscle groups that may cause stress in your body. As a result, it can have a powerful and positive effect on our mood.
Considering all the benefits of plank exercise, will you make it part of your everyday life?
26. What does the underlined word “stable” mean?
A. Not easily moved. B. Not dirty. C. Not common. D. Not skillful.
27. Which picture shows the change in your metabolic rate after you complete plank exercise? (x=time; y=metabolic rate)
A. B. C. D.
28. Why can’t some people stand straight for more than ten seconds on one leg?
A. Because they are drunk. B. Because their muscles are tired.
C. Because their muscles are weak. D. Because they have fewer muscles.
29. Which of the following can be put in the ▲ in Paragraph 4?
A. Everyone needs plank exercise. B. Plank exercise is simple for us.
C. Plank exercise is the best way to exercise. D. You will also get some mental benefits.
30. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A The danger of regular plank exercise.
B. The benefits of regular plank exercise.

A new culture reality show, The Mystery of China, tells the stories of six cultural treasures. The show not only visited archaeology sites (考古遗址), but also invited culture experts to help people have a better and deeper understanding of these cultural treasures.
According to Li Zhenya, the show’s producer, “who we are” and “where we come from” are key questions on the way to “find our genes (基因)” “We hope to record the valuable moments of every treasure. That is our purpose behind the show.” said Li.
The show visited some of China’s most well-known cultural sites, like the Mogao Grottoes and the Emperor Qin Shi Huan’s Mausoleum Site Museum (秦始皇陵博物院). How to introduce these treasures in the best way was something that the production team had trouble with.
“Chinese history is so long that if we follow time order, then we would have to start with the Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties or even earlier. That is not the way we learn history. A collection of thousands of objects for the royal family (皇室) of the Tang Dynasty was found in 1970 in a small village in North-west China’s Shanxi Province. Who hid it underground and why did they do so? There are so many questions to be answered,” Li said. “Telling these stories behind the cultural treasures is something we hope to do, and then people can discover more about these shining cultural symbols.” Li added.
