In fact, the study claims not exercising might be more harmful to your health than smoking.New findings, published Friday in the journal JAMA Network Open, detail how researchers at the Cleveland Clinic studied 122,007 patients from 1991 to 2014, putting them under treadmill (跑步机) testing and later recording death rates. Researchers found a clear connection between a longer, healthier life and high levels of exercise. The report calls for health care professionals to encourage patients to achieve and continue a strong and healthy fitness routine.Although it is widely understood that an active lifestyle can lead to a healthy life, the study concludes that a lifestyle which involves much sitting but little activity is equal to having a major disease and the simplest cure is exercise.Dr Wael Jaber, co-author of the study, called the results totally surprising. “Being unfit on a treadmill or in an exercise stress test has a worse prognosis (病情预断), as far as death, than being a smoker or suffering from high blood pressure,” Jaber told CNN. “Weve never seen something as noticeable as this and as objective as this.”The study also took a look at the risk of being overactive and found that extreme exercisers do not face higher risk of death: the research found that the more a person exercises the lower their death rates.32.

What conclusion can we draw from the last paragraph?A. Too much exercise will be no good.B. A low death rate depends on an active lifestyle.C. Extreme exercise is more harmful for health.D. The rise of death rate is related to exercise.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Students hope to make the most of their study time and get better grades at school.

Create a study plan.No one is more aware of the importance of time than the poor student who hasnt studied a thing until the night before an exam. 37 The key to breaking the situation is to think ahead and make an effective study plan.3. 38 Nobody can keep the best level of attention without giving oneself some time to recover from the work.
