Doctors at the American Heart Association suggest getting at least 150 minutes of proper physical activity every week. Many people exercise for a few minutes every day or every other day. So, getting 150 minutes every week is easy. But what about those times when you are sick? If you do not feel well, should you keep following your exercise habit? Health experts answer these and other questions. Edward R. Laskowski is a doctor at the Mayo Clinic. He and other experts have a general rule of yes about exercising when you are sick. It is usually fine to exercise, he explains, if your symptoms (癥狀)are all above the neck. These signs may include a runny nose, a blocked nose, sneezing or a minor sore throat. Geralyn Coopersmith is a physical fitness trainer who has written several books on exercise and nutrition. Both Coopersmith and Dr. Laskowski suggest taking a break from exercising if signs of your illness appear below the neck. Pay special attention to symptoms such as chest congestion, extreme cough or pain in the stomach. There are other symptoms that can tell you to avoid exercise. They include: a higher than normal body temperature, a sense of feeling extremely tired, and widespread muscle pain. Both Coopersmith and Dr. Laskowski suggest listening to your body. If you feel really bad, take a break and let your body rest. If you don39。t feel too bad, these experts both suggest reducing the amount of exercise. For example, if you usually run, take a quick walk instead.(1)How long should people do exercise to keep healthy? 150 minutes per day. 100 minutes per day. least 150 minutes per week. more than 100 minutes per week.(2)When will Edward R. Laskowski say no to exercise? your left leg is broken. you have a runny noses. you have a blocked nose. you have a minor sore throat.(3)What is the meaning of listening to your body in Paragraph 6? careful with your cars. to take advice of others. attention to body signals. to music to keep healthy.(4)What will the writer be likely to agree with? makes perfect. seek, nothing find. your heart into exercise. according to your abilities.【答案】 (1)C(2)A(3)C(4)D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文,鍛煉有助于保持身體健康,但是在感覺不適的時候,要看具體情況:如果病癥出現(xiàn)在“頸部以上”的位置,通??梢藻憻挘蝗绻“Y出現(xiàn)在“頸部以下”,請暫停鍛煉。 (1)考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的 Exercise helps to keep us in good health.
