I felt tired and bored when doing any kind of exercise. I hardly did any exercise. I often felt sick and was absent from school, so I could hardly catch up with other students. And my poor health made it even more difficult for me to keep on exercising. The cycle repeated itself. My parents were really worried about me. One day, after having supper, my father came and asked me to take a walk with him in the park. My father insisted that for people with very poor health, it was difficult to take up running and other sports at the beginning, but we could start with walking and increase endurance little by little. With his encouragement, I agreed and we went out together. It was hard for me to walk for half an hour and I wanted to give up, but my father encouraged me to keep on walking. After that, I was often asked to walk with my parents. To my surprise, I could walk for an hour in the fourth month. ________I loved taking exercise gradually. Now I am a perfect runner in my middle school. I have lost all the fat and I am not weak any more. I take part in the school sports meeting every year.

It is reported that people who sat for too long might get depressed. ③Another study about children showed that each extra hour of sitting time at ages 12, 14 and 16 brought about higher depression grades by age 18. Eighteen-year-olds who sat most often had depression grades 28% higher than those who were more outgoing. ④Scientists are not sure yet about the connection between too much sitting and depression.

When you play catch (传球) with your friends, you want to catch the ball. When you play Frisbee (飞盘), you want to catch it, too. But there is one thing you don’t want to catch when playing with your friends—a cold! Colds are caused by viruses (病毒). After catching a cold, you will feel bad. You may have a cough and a headache. Most kids catch between six and eight colds every year. In fact, more people go to the doctor because they have a cold than for any other reason. So, how do you catch a cold? More importantly, how can you keep from catching one? Colds are able to be spread (传播) very easily. The virus that causes colds is too small to see. These germs (细菌) can spread through the air. The germs can also spread by touch (触摸). When someone with a cold touches something, he leaves his germs behind. If a healthy person touches the same thing, the germs are spread. If you don’t want germs to go into your body, then be sure to wash your hands. You can also ask your friends to wash their hands, too. If your friends stay healthy, you may, too.

Almost everyone likes sports. All over the world, men and women, boys and girls enjoy sports. Sports change with the seasons. People play different games in winter and in summer. In warm weather, people often go sailing. But in winter, skating is usually more popular. Some sports are so interesting that people everywhere go in for them. Football, for example, has spread (传播) around the world. Swimming is popular in all countries near the sea or in those with many rivers. Some sports or games go back thousands of years, like running and jumping. Chinese Wushu, for example, has a very long history. But basketball and volleyball are quite new. People are inventing (发明) new sports or games all the time. Water skiing is one of the newest in the family of sports. Games and sports often grow out of the work that people do. The Arabs are famous for their horses and camels (骆驼). They use them in their work, and they use them in their sports, too. Hunting and fishing are very good sports. But millions of people do these just for a living. People from different countries may not be able to understand each other, but after a game on the sports field, they often become good friends. 1．Which is the same as “Sports change with the seasons”?

The photos you see on the screen can give you ideas about how your bodies “should” look. However, you are all different in your own way. Accepting who you are can help you feel happier and more positive about yourself. Self-acceptance (自我接纳) means appreciating what you’re good at, like sports, science or music. It also means valuing the parts of you that don’t shine brightly, like being forgetful or untidy. It’s a habit (习惯) about being kind to yourself even when you make a mistake. In other words, just accept who you are no matter what other people say or think. When you accept who you are, you will worry less about the things you can’t change. This makes you feel happier and more confident. We want to appear perfect but it leads us to forget about the little things that make us special, because we’re so busy trying to meet someone else’s standards (标准). Self-acceptance can also help you discover what you’re really good at. Start by making a list of all the things you like about yourself. Maybe you’re good at cooking, or people find it easy to talk to you. Also, try saying kind, positive things to yourself in a mirror every morning. Think up ways to treat yourself, like taking a long bath or watching your favourite film, and spend some time on your own. It’s also important to look after yourself by eating healthy food and getting plenty of sleep. 1．The writer thinks that the photos on the screen ________. A．are perfect for people to follow B．show everyone is different C．may give wrong ideas about looks D．show people how to be the same as everyone else 2．What does the underlined word “appreciating” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．Wondering. B．Enjoying. C．Proving. D．Comparing. 3．What is the advantage of self-acceptance? A．It makes people appear more perfect. B．It helps people find out their true abilities. C．It helps people make more changes. D．It makes people care more about others’ feelings. 4．What is the best title of the passage? A．Ways to Become More Beautiful B．Be Positive About Your Life C．Accept Your True Self D．Pay Attention to Your Advantages We usually go to see a doctor when we are ill (生病) . Doctors may give us some medicine (药) , and the medicine often makes us feel better. But sometimes the doctor’s medicine doesn’t work. This happened to one man, Thomas Smith. He was ill in hospital, but he wasn’t getting well. Then he found a new “doctor”. He saw funny films. He read funny books. He helped others. And something wonderful happened after he did all these. Laughing took away his pain after half a year. He could have a good night’s sleep then. His own (自己的) happy feeling helped him get well. He wrote his story in his book. He said laughing was very useful and it was the best “medicine”. Another man, Simon Back, was also ill, and he had a serious (严重的) pain in his back. The doctor couldn’t stop it, so the man began to “picture” his pain. In his mind, he drew a picture of a dog. He imagined (想象) his pain to be a real dog. Then the man talked quietly to the dog. He put his hand on the dog’s head and made friends with it. One year later, his pain went away! These stories may surprise you, but more and more people are getting well in this way. So call on the “doctor” inside your mind and keep happy if you are ill. I believe you will get well! 1．What might be Thomas Smith’s problem? A．He fell down from a bike. B．He couldn’t sleep well. C．He drank too much. D．He didn’t do well in the test. 2．What did Thomas Smith do to get well? a. He helped others.         b. He made friends with others. c. He played sports more often.         d. He saw funny films. e. He read funny books. A．a, b, e B．b, c, d C．a, c, e D．a, d, e 3．What does the underlined word “pain” mean in Paragraph 2? A．The person that always saves others. B．The feeling that you have when you feel terrible. C．The thing you eat when you are ill. D．The feeling of being happy. 4．What can we learn from the text? A．Doctors can’t stop pains. B．The medicine doesn’t work. C．We can keep happy to make ourselves get well. D．Drawing pictures in mind can stop all kinds of pain. Running should not be a dangerous activity. For your own safety, learn these tips and try to be a good runner! ✧ Take your time   If you develop an interest in running, you may want to run often. However, overdoing it or pushing yourself too hard can cause you to get hurt. It’s also important not to run too fast at the beginning. Run at a pace (速度) that feels comfortable. And if you’re planning on a long run, remember to increase your pace slowly. ✧ Take breaks   Resting is as important as training. Your body needs time to rest after hard runs. Running coach Sam Murphy says that if you run hard one day, you should take a break or do an easier run the next day. Some runners follow the 80/20 plan: 80% of their runs each week are easy, and only 20% are hard. ✧ Have a strong body   According to Runner’s World, strength (力量) training is great for runners. It can help make your body stronger, lower the risk of getting hurt, and even improve your speed. However, this doesn’t mean you need to do heavy weight training. Simple exercises at home, like sit-ups and push-ups, can be good too. ✧ Have a good diet   Eating and drinking the right things is also important. “Many people forget this.” Dr. Paul Hobrough said. “Drink lots of water and eat foods rich in protein (蛋白质), like eggs, chicken and milk. These can help your energy return quickly.” 1．What should you do if you’re planning a long run? A．Change the pace often. B．Increase your pace slowly. C．Keep the same pace all the time.

D．Swimming. 4．What does the underlined word “this” refer to? A．Having good eating habits. B．Drinking some soft drinks. C．Eating different kinds of food. D．Taking care of your body after exercise. 5．Where might you find this text? A．In a storybook. B．In a student’s diary. C．In a health magazine. D．On an English learning app. 重难语篇提升练 Do you often compare yourself with other people and wish you could be more like them? We are all different in our own way. Self-acceptance can help you feel happier and better about yourself. What is self-acceptance? Self-acceptance means learning to accept the things that make you who you are. And you should be thankful for what you’re good at, like sports, science or singing. Self-acceptance also means valuing the parts of you that don’t shine very brightly, like being forgetful or untidy. A 12-year-old girl, Lily, says self-acceptance means “knowing your own weaknesses and strengths (优势) and accepting who you are no matter what other people say or think.” Why is self-acceptance good for you? When you accept who you are, you worry less about things you can’t change. It makes you feel happier and more confident. The Anna Freud Centre, a charity that helps young people, says everyone can feel that they have to be perfect, but that makes us forget about the little things that make us special. ________ For example, some people may find letters or numbers hard to read, but they might have strengths in other things, like finding good ways to work out problems. How can you accept yourself? Start by making a list of all the things you like about yourself. Maybe you’re good at cooking, or people find it easy to talk to you. Also, try saying kind, happy things to yourself in a mirror every morning. Think up ways to treat yourself, such as taking a long shower, watching your favourite film, or eating delicious ice cream. But don’t forget it’s important to eat healthy food and get enough sleep. 1．Which of the following is NOT true about self-acceptance? A．Worrying about the parts of you that don’t shine very brightly.

A．Accept yourself and never say you can’t do it. B．It’s important to learn from people around you. C．Live the life you like to make yourself happy.

D．By comparing differences. 4．What’s the best title for the passage? A．How to be a Perfect Person B．Learn to Accept Yourself C．Ways to Get along with Others D．Live a Relaxing and Happy Life Is there a way to quickly remember things just before an exam? Walking backward could be a good idea. Scientists say this activity can help people improve their short-term memory. Researchers asked 114 volunteers to watch a video in an experiment (实验). After watching the video, the volunteers were divided into three groups. One group was told to walk 10 meters forward. The second group walked 10 meters backward. The third group stayed in one place. Then all three groups were asked 20 questions about what they saw in the video. The scientists found that the backward-walking group got two more answers right on average than the other two groups. This shows that the ideas of time and space are important for making memories. When you walk backward, you look at things from a different view. This difference helps people remember things that happened before more easily. When you walk backward, you need to look more carefully at the things around you to avoid (避免) accidents. By doing this, your senses are sharpened (使敏捷). As a result, you become more attuned to your environment. And walking backward is not just good for our brains. It’s also good for the rest of our bodies. Compared with walking forward, walking backward is more challenging. This can help us improve our fitness because walking backward uses more energy in a short time and burns more calories (卡路里). Walking backward is less stressful for our knees. It could be helpful for people whose knees often hurt. Walking backward also makes our spines (脊柱) stronger, which can help reduce pain in the lower back. This might be why many old people like walking backward. Next time when you want to improve your memory, why not give walking backward a try? It’s as simple as it sounds, but remember to watch where you’re going and who or what you may knock into. 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By giving his opinion. B．By asking a question. C． By telling a story. D．By giving advice. 2．Why does the writer mention the experiment in Paragraph 2? A．To show walking backward can help improve short-term memory. B．To explain how memories are made in our brains while walking. C．To point out walking backward can keep us healthy and happy. D．To call on more people to volunteer in the walking group. 3．The words “become more attuned to” in Paragraph 3 are closest in meaning to ________. A．become more afraid of B．understand better of C．feel more lonely about D．get more interested in 4．What can we learn from the passage？ A．Many young people like walking backward. B．Walking backward is good for our brains and knees. C．Walking backward use less energy than walking forward. D．You can be completely relaxed when walking backward. 5．What’s the passage mainly about? A．The differences in walking habits. B．The advice on keeping healthy. C．The advantages of walking backward. D．The importance of improving memory. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 3 Sound Body, Sound Mind 单元话题阅读理解练习 Unit 3 Sound Body, Sound Mind单元话题：健康与运动 本资料共10篇专题训练，从上到下依次按照难度分为基础语篇巩固练和重难语篇提升练 基础语篇巩固练 When I was in primary school, I was fat and didn’t like doing exercise.

The photos you see on the screen can give you ideas about how your bodies “should” look. However, you are all different in your own way. Accepting who you are can help you feel happier and more positive about yourself. Self-acceptance (自我接纳) means appreciating what you’re good at, like sports, science or music. It also means valuing the parts of you that don’t shine brightly, like being forgetful or untidy. It’s a habit (习惯) about being kind to yourself even when you make a mistake. In other words, just accept who you are no matter what other people say or think. When you accept who you are, you will worry less about the things you can’t change. This makes you feel happier and more confident. We want to appear perfect but it leads us to forget about the little things that make us special, because we’re so busy trying to meet someone else’s standards (标准). Self-acceptance can also help you discover what you’re really good at. Start by making a list of all the things you like about yourself. Maybe you’re good at cooking, or people find it easy to talk to you. Also, try saying kind, positive things to yourself in a mirror every morning. Think up ways to treat yourself, like taking a long bath or watching your favourite film, and spend some time on your own.

We are all different in our own way. Self-acceptance can help you feel happier and better about yourself. What is self-acceptance? Self-acceptance means learning to accept the things that make you who you are. And you should be thankful for what you’re good at, like sports, science or singing. Self-acceptance also means valuing the parts of you that don’t shine very brightly, like being forgetful or untidy. A 12-year-old girl, Lily, says self-acceptance means “knowing your own weaknesses and strengths (优势) and accepting who you are no matter what other people say or think.” Why is self-acceptance good for you? When you accept who you are, you worry less about things you can’t change. It makes you feel happier and more confident. The Anna Freud Centre, a charity that helps young people, says everyone can feel that they have to be perfect, but that makes us forget about the little things that make us special. ________ For example, some people may find letters or numbers hard to read, but they might have strengths in other things, like finding good ways to work out problems. How can you accept yourself? Start by making a list of all the things you like about yourself. Maybe you’re good at cooking, or people find it easy to talk to you. Also, try saying kind, happy things to yourself in a mirror every morning. Think up ways to treat yourself, such as taking a long shower, watching your favourite film, or eating delicious ice cream. But don’t forget it’s important to eat healthy food and get enough sleep. 1．Which of the following is NOT true about self-acceptance? A．Worrying about the parts of you that don’t shine very brightly. B．Learning to accept who you are. C．Being thankful for what you are good at. D．Knowing your own weaknesses and strengths. 2．Which sentence can be put in the ________ in Paragraph 3? A．Accept yourself and never say you can’t do it. B．It’s important to learn from people around you. C．Live the life you like to make yourself happy. D．It can also help you know what you’re really good at. 3．How does the writer develop his idea in Paragraph 4? A．By giving examples. B．By asking questions. C．By telling stories. D．By comparing differences. 4．What’s the best title for the passage? A．How to be a Perfect Person B．Learn to Accept Yourself C．Ways to Get along with Others D．Live a Relaxing and Happy Life 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．A 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要探讨了自我接纳的概念、好处以及如何实现自我接纳。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Self-acceptance means learning to accept the things that make you who you are...And you should be thankful for what you’re good at...Self-acceptance also means valuing the parts of you that don’t shine very brightly...knowing your own weaknesses and strengths and accepting who you are...”可知，自我接纳意味着学会接受那些造就你的东西，对你擅长的事情心存感激，重视那些不太闪光的部分，以及了解自己的弱点和优势并接受真实的自己。因此，选项A“担心那些不太闪光的部分”不是关于自我接纳的正确描述。故选A。 2．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“The Anna Freud Centre, a charity that helps young people, says everyone can feel that they have to be perfect, but that makes us forget about the little things that make us special...For example, some people may find letters or numbers hard to read, but they might have strengths in other things, like finding good ways to work out problems.”可知，本段主要讲述自我接纳的好处，即它可以帮助我们认识到自己真正擅长什么，而不是一味追求完美。因此，选项D“它也可以帮助你知道你真正擅长什么”最符合语境。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Start by making a list of all the things you like about yourself...Also, try saying kind, happy things to yourself in a mirror every morning...Think up ways to treat yourself, such as taking a long shower, watching your favourite film, or eating delicious ice cream.”可知，作者通过列举一些具体的做法来展开他的观点，如列出自己喜欢的所有事情、每天早上对着镜子说一些友善和快乐的话、想出一些对待自己的方式等。因此，作者通过举例子的方式来展开他的观点。故选A。 4．最佳标题题。根据文章第一段“Self-acceptance can help you feel happier and better about yourself.”以及后文对自我接纳的详细解释和如何实现自我接纳的建议，可知本文主要讲述了学会自我接纳的重要性和方法。因此，选项B“学会接受自己”是最佳标题。故选B。 Is there a way to quickly remember things just before an exam? Walking backward could be a good idea. Scientists say this activity can help people improve their short-term memory. Researchers asked 114 volunteers to watch a video in an experiment (实验). After watching the video, the volunteers were divided into three groups. One group was told to walk 10 meters forward. The second group walked 10 meters backward. The third group stayed in one place. Then all three groups were asked 20 questions about what they saw in the video. The scientists found that the backward-walking group got two more answers right on average than the other two groups. This shows that the ideas of time and space are important for making memories. When you walk backward, you look at things from a different view. This difference helps people remember things that happened before more easily. When you walk backward, you need to look more carefully at the things around you to avoid (避免) accidents. By doing this, your senses are sharpened (使敏捷). As a result, you become more attuned to your environment. And walking backward is not just good for our brains. It’s also good for the rest of our bodies. Compared with walking forward, walking backward is more challenging. This can help us improve our fitness because walking backward uses more energy in a short time and burns more calories (卡路里). Walking backward is less stressful for our knees. It could be helpful for people whose knees often hurt. Walking backward also makes our spines (脊柱) stronger, which can help reduce pain in the lower back. This might be why many old people like walking backward. Next time when you want to improve your memory, why not give walking backward a try? It’s as simple as it sounds, but remember to watch where you’re going and who or what you may knock into. 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By giving his opinion. B．By asking a question. C． By telling a story. D．By giving advice. 2．Why does the writer mention the experiment in Paragraph 2? A．To show walking backward can help improve short-term memory. B．To explain how memories are made in our brains while walking. C．To point out walking backward can keep us healthy and happy. D．To call on more people to volunteer in the walking group. 3．The words “become more attuned to” in Paragraph 3 are closest in meaning to ________. A．become more afraid of B．understand better of C．feel more lonely about D．get more interested in 4．What can we learn from the passage？ A．Many young people like walking backward. B．Walking backward is good for our brains and knees. C．Walking backward use less energy than walking forward. D．You can be completely relaxed when walking backward. 5．What’s the passage mainly about? A．The differences in walking habits. B．The advice on keeping healthy. C．The advantages of walking backward. D．The importance of improving memory. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．B 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了倒走对提高短期记忆、增强身体健康的益处，并通过实验数据支持这一观点。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Is there a way to quickly remember things just before an exam?
