He suggests that people first start exercising by moving whenever possible, such as taking the stairs instead of the elevator. Next, he asks his patients to identify times during the day they can exercise and what resources they have at their disposal. For example, does their workplace or senior center have a fitness facility, or do they have access to a safe place to walk, no matter what the weather? People in the 60- to 80-year-old age group should spend eighty percent of their workout doing moderate aerobic activity. That can be anything from brisk walking, cycling, dancing, to a Zumba class. For the remaining twenty prevent of the time, its a good idea to focus on strength training. This can be done at a gym but can also be done at home no weights needed. Try squats, push-ups, and arm reaches. Work toward a goal of exercising for one hour, five times a week. For those with no particular health concerns, a program of moderate walking and strength training is a safe way to go. Those who have heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, or other muscle or bone problems should talk to a doctor before starting. Take it easy at first, and ramp up to a more intense level gradually. “Most of all, remember that something is better than nothing and there is no age when its too late to start,” says Dr. Baggish. （10 分） 1) When people start exercising, they need to consider their age. A （2 分） 错误 正确 2) If you do exercises more than others, youll live long and have less disease. B （2 分） 错误 正确 3) Walking and taking the stairs are the two kinds of exercises. B （2 分） 错误 正确 4) Old people need to spend much time on strength training. A （2 分） 错误 正确 5) If one is too old, its better for him not to do exercises. A （2 分） 错误 正确 2 （10 分） The Earth is our home but much of it is dirty and dying. Rapid industrial development caused a lot of ecological problems. They are air pollution, water pollution, growth of population and shortage of mineral resources. Air becomes polluted in many ways. Cars, trucks, buses, airplanes, factories and plants send burnt gases into the air. The production of electricity causes not only air pollution but acid rains and global warming. Because of acid rains, the Earth loses twenty million acres of tropical rainforests every year. This means the extinction of thousands of species that live there, for example tigers. Only sixty-seven thousand tigers remain. Tigers are hunted and killed for their body parts, which are used in oriental medicines. The ozone layer is destroyed too and the dangerous rays get through the atmosphere, causing skin cancer and other diseases. Seventy percent of the Earth is covered by oceans. Oceans are vital for the life on Earth. They provide homes for millions of plants and animals, provide people with food and help regulate the climate. But now they are a big dumping ground for tons of toxic waste. Most big cities pour their waste into seas and rivers. For a long time people did not realize the danger. The first alarm came from Japan: sixty people died because they have eaten polluted fish. We need clean air to breathe and pure water to drink. We need also food that is safe to eat and housing to shelter us. We cant get all these things by ourselves. We live in community so we can solve our problems only by working together. Russia is cooperating in the field of environmental protection with the USA, Canada, Norway, Finland and other countries. A lot of public organizations have been established. One of them is Green Peace which was formed in 1971 with its headquarters in Amsterdam. The area of operation is twenty-five countries worldwide. Its objectives are to protect wild life and the atmosphere, to prevent disposal of toxic waste and nuclear tests. （10 分） 1) Air pollution is the main cause of ecological problems. A （2 分） 错误 正确 2) Global warming causes loss of twenty million acres of tropical rainforests every year. A （2 分） 错误 正确 3) Oceans on earth are playing an important role in climate regulation. B （2 分） 错误 正确 4) Green Peace is an organization with its main purpose to protect peace around the world. A （2 分） 错误 正确 5) All countries should work together to protect our environment. B （2 分） 错误 正确 五、阅读理解选择 （共20题 ，总共40分 ） 1 （10 分） With the cost of a college education going through the roof, what would you tell your child to study so he can be sure of getting a good job when he graduates? If your childs main goal is to get a job, I would suggest he rethink the whole idea of going to college. There is, it seems, a major cause of confusion in our society because people dont understand the difference between education and training. Education is akin to research and development in that one never knows where, if anywhere, it will eventually lead. Its certainly a nice luxury if one can afford it and if one has the capacity to grow intellectually but its no guarantee of a steady income. Training, on the other hand, addresses the skills and knowledge necessary to do a job. Traditionally, advanced education was reserved for just a tiny portion of the population while all others learned a trade and that was often through the apprentice system. Of course, there were those who worked their way through school and into monied slots but those were mostly schools where one can be trained for a profession such as colleges of law, medicine, business, engineering, etc. So what do you tell your child? If a job and the income it will provide are the most important, then keep in mind that four years of education will cost not only the tuition and living expenses but four years of lost earnings as well. Instead, he might want to consider earning a wage while learning a trade and then putting the same cash and credit into starting a business. Or he might want to consider attending a community college, a mixture that combines mostly remedial schooling with a form of apprenticeship. Stick to the readily applicable skills and technology classes, and there might actually be a job available upon graduation. （10 分） 1) According to the passage, which of the following statements is true about education？ （2 分） BA It was offered for a large number of people in the past. B It is similar to research and development . C Most People can afford it. D It is a guarantee of a steady income. 2) According to the passage, which of the following statements is true about training? （2 分） D A It must teach students rich knowledge. B One has to study law, medicine, business and engineering. C It will be a way of making a lot of money. D It provide skills and necessary knowledge of jobs. 3) Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the cost of education? C （2 分） A Tuition. B Living expenses C Earnings of part-time jobs. D Four years of lost earnings. 4) What can NOT be learnt from community college? C（2 分） A Knowledge from book. B Skills for some simple jobs. C Advanced technology. D Language training. 5) Whats the authors attitude towards higher education? A （2 分） A Neutral. B Approving. C Indifferent. D Disapproving. 2 （10 分） “Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life”, said Confucius. Everyone wants to come back home and sleep stress free after a whole days work. So what are the jobs which provide the greatest satisfaction? Heres a list of the most satisfying professions across the globe. Author: It is one of the professions that allow you to express your views without much limitation. Words are a powerful expression of thoughts that can stir all the emotions.

This is the profession that proves how job satisfaction and money are the two sides of the same coin. Creativity, flexibility and freedom are all available for an artist. When an artist is lost in the universe of imagination, the rest of the world is missing out. Psychologist: Being one of the most wonderful careers on the planet, psychology uncovers the mysterious sides of a humans life. The amount of joy received from uncovering the reasons behind ones attitude is simply beyond words to explain. It is a job that requires a lot of patience, but patience pays off.

The process of showing a path to someone, to enlighten a soul, and to make them self-aware leads to a close bond with each other. And this is also the profession with maximum job security, even at the time of recession. Social Worker: To find happiness in someone elses happiness, to improve the quality of ones life, to safeguard their rights and to support them through difficult times is the work of a social worker.

Born in Gary, Indiana in 1958, Jackson was the seventh of nine children. He was five years old when he began singing with his brothers in a group called The Jackson 5, and eleven when their first album was released. The Jackson 5 became an immediate success. Their music set records. Michael, the lead singer and energetic dancer, was the star of the group. In the 1970s, the group shortened their name to The Jacksons. Three years later, Jackson released “Thriller” on his own. The album was not just the best selling album of all time, it also won many major Awards. And it helped establish the popularity of a new form of entertainment, Music Video. Michael Jackson was a huge success, but he was also a very troubled man. He had many operations to change his face. He sometimes acted and spoke in a childlike way, for example, he once bought a huge property in California which he called “Neverland” after the childrens story “Peter Pan”. And he suffered from injuries and illness that led him to take many kinds of pain-killing medicines. In 1993, a thirteen-year-old boy accused him of sexual abuse. Ten y
