and that wasnt just the first week: it was practically every day for two months. i never got past the pain level, and pain isnt fun. what a cruel way to do it! so many other exercises, including walking, lead to almost the same results painlessly, so why jog? i dont jog any more, and i dont think i ever will. im walking two miles three times a week at a fast pace, and that feels good. i bicycle to work when the weather is good. im getting exercise, and im enjoying it at the same time. i could never say the same for jogging, and ive found a lot of better ways to stay in shape.60. from the first paragraph, we learn that in the writers neighborhood _.a. jogging became very popular b. people jogged only during the daytimec. alex organized an army of joggers d. jogging provided a chance to get together61. what was the writers attitude towards jogging in the beginning?a. he felt it was worth a try.b. he was very fond of it.c. he was strongly against it.d. he thought it must be painful.62. why did the writer give up jogging two months later?a. he disliked doing exercise outside. b. he found it neither healthy nor interesting.c. he was afraid of having a heart attack. d. he was worried about being left alone.63. from the writers experience, we can conclude that_.a. not everyone enjoys jogging b. he is the only person who hates joggingc. nothing other than jogging can help people keep fitd. jogging makes people feel greater than any other sport.cattractions in wisconsin wisconsin historical museum30 n. carroll street on madisons capitol squarediscover wisconsins history and culture(文化) on four floors of exhibits. open for public program. admission is free.open tuesday through saturday, 9:00am - 4:00 pm.(608) 264-6555 /museumswiss historical village612 seventh ave., new glarusthe swiss historical village offers a delightful look at pioneer life in americas heartland. 14 buildings in the village give a full picture of every day life in the nineteenth-century midwest.tue.fri., may 1st october 31st , 10:00 am4:00 pm. admission is $20.(608) 527-2317 artisan gallery & creamery caf 6858 paoli rd., paoli, wione of the largest collections of fine arts and crafts(手工艺品) in wisconsin. over 5000 sq. ft. of exhibition space in a historic creamery (乳品厂). while visiting , enjoy a wonderfully prepared lunch at our caf overlooking the sugar river. just minutes from madison! gallery open tue. sun., 10:00 am5:00 pm. caf open wed. sat., 11:00 am 3:00 pm. sun. brunch with wine, 10:003:00 pm.
