Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
The following simple exercise routine works as well as prescription medication(处方药) without side effects.
A jog a day could keep your headaches at bay:regular cardio workouts(有氧锻炼) may prevent migraines(偏头痛),a growing body of research suggests.
Migraine patients had fewer headaches after doing 40minute cycling workouts three times a week for three months,according to a Swedish study.
The exercise routine worked just as well as one of the top migrainepreventing drugs—topamirate—but without side effects of depression and tremors(颤抖).
“Cardio workouts can help with regular headaches,too.” says Alexander Mauskop,M. D.,director of the New York Headache Center in Manhattan.
There are a couple of theories on how it works.
“Breaking a sweat may relieve stress.” says Dr. Mauskop. Headaches are often triggered by stress,and if you remove the trigger,you release the pain.
The feelgood chemicals produced when you exercise actually block your pain sensors,acting as a natural painkiller.
Since headaches can be caused by many different factors like genetics (遗传学),lack of sleep,or certain foods,the cardio workout won't be the solution for everyone,Dr. Mauskop says. But one German study found that it helped 65 percent of patients,which makes it as effective as the best medicines on the market.
Dr. Mauskop recommends his patients do a halfhour reasonable intensity(强度) cardio workout,like jogging, hiking,or swimming three times a week. These workouts are meant to be slow and steady,as opposed to highintensity intervals that alternate between allout runs and rest.
Pushing yourself too much or increasing the intensity too quickly can trigger headaches in some people,so make sure your heart rate doesn't jump above 150 BPM. If you don't have a heart rate monitor, then breathe only through your nose. You'll know you're going too hard if you can't keep up that breathing pattern.
Your migraines could start disappearing in a couple of weeks,Dr.Mauskop says.

People need to relax and enjoy themselves.One way they can have a good time is to watch a baseball game or another sports event. Even thousands of years ago,groups of people gathered to watch skilled athletes.
Over 2,000 years ago in Greece,certain days in the year were festival days. These were holidays when people stopped work and enjoyed themselves. They liked to watch athletes take part in races and other games of skill.
The most important festival was held every four years at the town of Olympia. It was held in honour of the Greek god Zeus. For five days,athletes from all parts of the Greek world took part in the Olympic Games. At the Olympic Games,people could watch them box,run,jump and so on. There was a relay race between two teams of men in which a lighted torch (火炬) was passed from runner to runner. The Olympic Games were thought to be so important that cities which were at war with one another had to stop fighting. People were allowed to travel to the games freely. Thousands of people came to Olympia from cities in Greece and from its colonies (殖民地) in Africa,Asia and Italy. They met as friends to cheer their favourite athletes and to enjoy themselves.
