According to the interviewer, what attitude do most young people hold towards keeping healthy?
Interviewer(M)Mrs. Ralph(W)
M: Mrs. Ralph, we know that you have done some of the largest studies on exercise and health. Would you like to give us some tips on how to exercise and keep fit?
W: I would be glad to.
M: I have been doing what I can to stay healthy. But my friends are mostly(1)young and healthy. They say they are doing fine without exercises. Is regular workout really that important?
W: Sure it is. If one doesn’t exercise regularly, he’s missing out a lot. A person who is inactive may increase his chance of disease. For one thing,(2- 1)he may have sleep problems or easily catch a cold, to say the least. And obesity is often the result of lack of exercises.(2 - 2)So high blood pressure and heart problems may develop as he grows old. On the other hand, if one adds regular activities to his life, he is sure to benefit.
M: What are some of benefits, can you tell us?
W: Yes. If you work out regularly, studies suggest, you’ll reduce your risk of heart attack, cancer, and high blood pressure. You’re likely to extend your life with vigorous exercise. Even moderate exercise half an hour of light physical activity most days will lessen your chance of disease. Besides, regular workouts, regardless of intensity, can help you control stress, anxiety, and depression.
M: Hmm... That sounds amazing. No wonder I will feel restless if I omit one or two sessions when I am too busy. But another question is, what types of exercise are there to keep fit?
W: Basically, there are four types of workout that help us get in shape. The first type is(3)cardiovascular exercise. This exercise helps strengthen the heart by working it harder. Swimming, running, brisk walking, vigorous rowing, or just anything that you need to exert yourself to do to bum calories and make the heart beat faster. Eventually, your heart becomes more efficient and your pulse rate will be slower at a given level of exertion.
M: Like an athlete, you mean?
W: Exactly. But an athlete strives to do his best to come out first, while we want simply to stay healthy.
M: Right. What about the second type?
W: The second type is endurance exercise. That trains the heart, lungs, and muscles to work hard for a longer time. Thus, while regular 20 minutes’ walks may help you live longer, regular one-hour walks can help you play longer.(4)The third type is strength training, which builds muscles. The improvement is little felt and fleeting at first, but regular use of the same muscles eventually increases their size and strength.
M: You mean like those body-builders who have got enormous and beautiful muscles?
W: Not exactly. Strength training isn’t just for the vain: having stronger back and abdominal muscles, for example, supports your spine, making back trouble less likely.
M: I see.
W: The fourth type is flexibility exercise, which keeps muscles long and supple, so they’re less likely to be injured.
M: Do we have to engage in all those forms of exercise in order to stay in shape?
W: Not necessarily. It all depends on your need, and also age, younger people could engage in more vigorous activities or deliberate workouts, while the older people could just try anything that burns a little more calories, like walking or even gardening.(5)The word "exercise" can be quite loosely defined. It can include out-of-the-gym activities, such as lawn-moving, leaf-raking or even cleaning the house. Just about any amount of physical activity will improve fitness.
M: Then when should one begin? Say someone has been inactive for years, is it too late or is he too old to exercise? Could he change his way of living by working out a little right away?
W: Absolutely. One could get started at any time, any age. The greatest benefit of exercise may come at the beginning, when you jump from doing nothing to doing something. At the beginning, you just try a little. Walk a few more steps: every day, park the car a few blocks from work. Don’t use an elevator when you can walk. Don’t use the phone to ask colleagues questions: walk to their offices. At home, don’t use the car for nearby errands. Walking the dog, playing catch with the kids, gardening, mall-walking all count as exercise.
选项
A、It is just about any amount of physical activities that will improve fitness.
B、It is just anything that you need to exert yourself to do to burn calories.
C、It means all forms of vigorous activities or deliberate workouts.
D、It includes every exercise which keeps your muscles long and supple.
答案
A
解析
本题设题点在定义解释处。受访者认为人们可以根据自己的需要选择锻炼方式。根据句(5)可知,本访谈认为“锻炼”可以被很宽泛地定义。它包括健身房以外的诸如剪草坪、打扫院子和打扫房间等任何形式的活动,还包括有益健康的任何活动量的身体锻炼,故答案为[A]。
