EWT英语高一（上）期末模拟试卷PART ONE: 常规阅读What would it take to persuade you to exercise? A desire to lose weight or improve your figure? To keep you away from diseases? To live to a healthy of age? Youd think any of those reasons would be enough to get Americans exercising. Yet a vast majority of Americans have thus far failed to swallow the “exercise pill”.Now a research by psychologists strongly suggests its time to think of current well-being (幸福) and happiness as motivators(动机；动力) for exercise instead of future health, weight loss and body image.Dr. Segar, one of the researchers, believes that immediate rewards are more motivating than distant ones. “People who say they exercise for the quality of life exercise more over the course of a year than those who say they value exercise for its health benefits,” he said.Other studies have shown that what keeps people moving depends on age, sex and life circumstances. For those of college age, physical attractiveness typically heads the lists of reasons to begin exercising, although what keeps them going seems to be the stress relief that a regular exercise program provides. The elderly, on the other hand, may get started because of health concerns. But often what keeps them exercising are the friendships and sense of community that may otherwise be missing from their lives. Improving daily well-being is the most influential factor for women. Men indicate they are motivated by more distant health benefits, but this may be because men feel less comfortable discussing their mental health needs.“Exercise should be encouraged but the emphasis on weight loss, disease prevention and healthy aging should be reduced,” Dr. Segar concluded. “Exercise can make people feel more energetic, less stressed and, yes, happier.”1.

That was the average life then. At the turn of this century, as medical knowledge advanced, the average life span(长度) increased to 45. In 1950, 70-year-olds were really old. Today, a healthy 70-year-old is looking forward to many more active years.So, how old is old? The answer is one youve heard many times, from all sorts of people. “You are as old (or young) as you feel!” The calendar(日历) simply tells you how many years you have lived. 6 .Once an unknown author wrote , “ 7 . Nobody grows old by living a number of years; people grow old by giving up their goals.” 8 . Alice Brophy, when she was with the New York City commission for the Aging, said, “It upsets me when people say, Gee, you look young for your age! What does that mean? Is there some model that youre supposed to look a certain way at 65 and 75 and 85? You know you can die old at 30 and live young at 80”There are many wrong ideas about aging. 9 . Here are some of the more common ones. For example, most of the older people are in poor health, or older people are unable to change. A. Its extremely terrible to be grown old.B. Youth is not a time of life but it is a state of mind.C. These ideas stereotype (固化) people on the basis of age.D. Old is a point of view. E. Older people are stubborn, unable to change.F.
