Passage A
In recent years,a growing number of health experts have begun to challenge the long-held belief that the
primary benefit of exercise is physical.While the advantages of a strong heart,flexible muscles,and a
healthy weight are undeniable,a new wave of research is highlighting an equally,if not more,significant
outcome:the profound impact of physical activity on our mental and emotional well-being.This shift in
perspective is reshaping how we approach fitness,moving away from a purely aesthetic or performance-
based model towards a more holistic understanding of health.
One of the most compelling areas of study is the effect of exercise on neuroplasticity-the brain's ability
to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections throughout life.Aerobic activities,such as
running,swimming,and cycling,have been shown to stimulate the production of a protein called brain-
derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF).Often referred to as "Miracle-Gro for the brain,BDNF supports
the survival of existing neurons and encourages the growth of new ones,particularly in the hippocampus,
a region critical for memory and learning.This process not only enhances cognitive function but also
plays a crucial role in protecting the brain against age-related decline and neurodegenerative diseases like
Alzheimer's.
Furthermore,exercise is a powerful tool in the fight against stress,anxiety,and depression.When we
engage in physical activity,our bodies release a cascade of neurochemicals,including endorphins,
dopamine,and serotonin.Endorphins act as natural painkillers and mood elevators,often responsible for
the "runner's high"many athletes experience.Dopamine and serotonin,often targeted by antidepressant
medications,are significantly boosted by exercise,leading to improved mood,better focus,and a greater
sense of well-being.This chemical reaction can create a positive feedback loop:the more we exercise,the
better we feel,and the more motivated we become to continue.
This understanding has profound implications for how we treat mental health conditions.While exercise
is not a replacement for professional medical care,it is increasingly being prescribed as a complementary
therapy.For individuals suffering from mild to moderate depression,a structured exercise program can be
as effective as medication or cognitive behavioral therapy.The social aspect of group fitness classes,
sports teams,or even a walking club can also combat feelings ofloneliness and isolation,providing a
sense of community and belonging on top of the physiological benefits.
The challenge now lies in shifting the public narrative.The"no pain,no gain"mentality can be a barrier
for many,especially those new to exercise.Instead,experts are advocating for a more compassionate and
flexible approach.The goal should not be to achieve a certain body type or run a marathon,but to find a
form of movement that brings joy and can be sustained over a lifetime.Whether it is dancing,gardening,
hiking,or playing a sport,the key is consistency and enjoyment.By focusing on how exercise makes us
feel more energetic,calmer,and shaiper-rather than just how it makes us look,we can unlock its full
potential as a comerstone of complete health

Passage B
In the 1960s,a fascinating social experiment took place in the forests of the Soviet Union.Scientists,
working on a top-secret project to develop a new generation of highly athletic soldiers,discovered an
unexpected genetic anomaly in a population of wild foxes.These foxes,living in a remote region of
Siberia,exhibited extraordinary levels of endurance and a remarkable ability to regenerate damaged
muscle tissue.The project,codenamed "Project Super Fox,"aimed to isolate and replicate this trait.
However,the scientists soon stumbled upon a suprising twist.The key to the foxes'fitness was not a
single "super gene"but a complex interplay of factors that included their diet,their social structure,and
even their gut microbiome.The foxes that showed the most robust athletic performance were those who
lived in highly cooperative packs.They shared food,groomed each other,and played together.This social
harmony,the researchers hypothesized,reduced chronic stress,allowing the animals to recover faster
from intense physical exertion.
Decades later,in the 2010s,a team of psychologists and evolutionary biologists revisited the "Project
Super Fox"data.They comrelated the foxes'behavior with modem research on human athletic
performance.Their findings were striking.The studies showed that people who belonged to strong social
groups-teams,clubs,or even close-knit fiiend circles-consistently reported higher levels of satisfaction
with their exercise routines and performed better in physical tests.They experienced lower levels of
cortisol (the stress hormone)and had a higher pain tolerance than those who exercised alone.
This connection between social connection and physical performance challenges the stereotype of the
lone wolf athlete.It suggests that the drive to be physically active is not just an individual biological
imperative but is deeply rooted in our evolutionary history as a social species.For our ancestors,hunting
and gathering were cooperative activities that bonded the group and ensured survival.The modemn gym,
in this context,is a poor substitute for the shared experience of moving together.
The implications for modern fitness are immense.It suggests that perhaps we should stop viewing
exercise as a chore to be done in isolation,like ticking a box on a daily to-do list.Instead,we should seek
out activities that foster a sense of community.The "best"workout is not necessarily the one that burns
the most calories,but the one that strengthens our social bonds while also strengthening our bodies.After
all,a healthy body is often a reflection of a healthy social life,and the drive to move,it turns out,is not
just about survival of the fittest,but survival of the most connected.
()1.What was the original goal of'Project Super Fox"?
A.To study the social behavior of wild foxes.
B.To find a way to improve human athleticism
C.To understand the link between diet and fitness.
D.To explore the effect of stress on recovery.
()2.What did the later researchers discover about human athletes?
A.Those working out alone are more successful.
B.Social support leads to better exercise outcomes.
C.Cortisol levels rise when people exercise in groups.
D.Modern gyms are the best place for social bonding.
()3.What can be inferred from the passage about our ancestors?
A.They were often solitary hunters.
B.Their physical activities were primarily individual.
C.Their physical activities usually involved social interaction.
D.They had higher cortisol levels than modem humans.
()4.What does the author suggest is a key flaw in the modern view of exercise?
A.It focuses too much on individual achievement.
B.It underestimates the importance of diet.
C.It overemphasizes the role of genetics.
D.It neglects the scientific aspect of training.
()5.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A.The Science of Regeneration:Lessons from Foxes
B.Rethinking Fitness:The Power of Community
C.The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Runner
D.A History of Soviet Military Experiments

三、阅读短文回答问题
Read the following passage and answer the questions using complete sentences.
The concept of"weekend warrior"has experienced a significant rebranding.Once a term used to
describe someone who engaged in strenuous physical activity only on Saturdays and Sundays,often with
a high risk of injury,it is now being studied as a perfectly valid and effective exercise pattem.New
research is challenging the notion that exercise must be distributed evenly across the week to be
beneficial
A landmark study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association followed a large cohort
of adults over a decade.The researchers categorized participants into three groups:"regularly active"
(exercising moderately to vigorously on most days),"weekend wariors"(concentrating their
recommended weekly physical activity into one or two days),and"inactive"(doing no structured
exercise).To the surprise of many,the study found that the"weekend wariors"had a significantly lower
risk of death from all causes,as well as from cardiovascular disease and cancer,compared to the
inactive'”goup.
Remarkably,the health benefits for the "weekend wariors"were very close to those seen in the
"regularly active"group.This suggests that total volume of exercise,rather than its frequency,might be
the most critical factor for reducing mortality risk.The study defined the minimum effective dose as 150
minutes of moderate-intensity activity or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity activity per week,a target that
fits neatly into a two-day weekend schedule for many.
However,this approach is not without its wamnings.A higher concentration of activity increases the risk of
musculoskeletal injuries,particularly if proper warm-ups and cool-downs are skipped.For someone who
sits at a desk all week,suddenly running a half-marathon on Saturday can be a shock to the system.
Experts recommend gradually building up to this level and focusing on functional movements that
prepare the body for the intensity of weekend activities.
Despite the risks,the message from the latest research is clear:doing something is infinitely better than
doing nothing.For those who cannot find time for a daily workout,the weekend warior model offers a
realistic and effective altemative.It removes the psychological barrier of a daily commitment,allowing
people to fully engage in and enjoy their chosen sport,whether it's a long hike,a pick-up basketball
game,or a challenging bike ride.Ultimately,the best exercise routine is the one that you can actually stick
with,and for many,that is the concentrated burst of weekend effort.
Questions:
1.According to the passage,how has the term "weekend warior"been rebranded?
2.In the study published in the JAMA,what was the main finding regarding the health benefits for
"weekend warriors"compared to the "regularly active"group?

Dear Chris,
I'm sory to hear that you're feeling stressed and tired lately.It's completely understandable,but I'm really
glad you're thinking about starting a workout routine
Firstly,I'd suggest you start with something you might enjoy,like jogging or swimming.Setting a small,
achievable goal,like a 20-minute run three times a week,can make it less daunting.Also,find a fiiend to
exercise with;having a partner can be a great motivation.Personally,I find that exercising regularly not
only builds up my strength but also clears my mind and reduces anxiety.It's a fantastic way to take a
break from studies and recharge yourself.
I hope these suggestions are helpful.You've got this!
