According to Mike, yoga postures are______.
Mike(M)Amanda(W)
M: What’re you doing up so early, Amanda? Have you decided to take up jogging in the park like me?
W: No, Mike. You know I really can’t stand jogging. I’ve joined a yoga class at our local fitness center. I hear it’s a great way to stay fit. Want to join me?
M: No way! Yoga is for girls. To the best of my knowledge, most enthusiasts are women.(1)I’d rather do some weights or cardio at the gym than contort my body into painful postures.
W: At the beginning, women go in for it mainly. But as its popularity grows, men are becoming more receptive to the idea. Come on, there’s more to yoga than that! It’s perfect for physical and spiritual well-being. It also helps your body become more flexible. With a little background music, yoga helps you relax both physically and psychologically.
M: No, thanks. I think all of this is just a moneymaking gimmick. I’m telling you Amanda, don’t buy into it!
W:(2)Mike, we just learn three new postures every day and do some meditation. My yoga guru is going to teach us about breathing today. Did you know that we don’t even breathe properly anymore?
M: Count me out! I don’t need anyone to tell me how to breathe!(3)Just because celebrities are doing yoga, everyone’s jumping on the bandwagon.
W: That’s not true! For those who are unaware of the yoga way of exercise, it uses a combination of breathing exercises along with physical movement to free the body while the meditation aspect of yoga assists in easing the mind and soul. You’re always reluctant to try something new. Give it a chance, you might enjoy it.
M: Okay, but only if you promise I’ll end up with a body like Matthew McConaughey!
W: Don’t be stupid, Mike! You know, it can’t be a thing to easy start, right? The first few classes maybe very tough, but you stick with it.(4)The first major effect you will notice is that you’d feel very relaxed after a class. After several weeks, you’ll become stronger, more flexibleyou’re your posture is improved.
M: But, I wanna know how do you feel when you practice yoga? Most of the postures look very contorted.
W: Oh, I feel really tired and sweat a lot. But it will help me keep fit, more importantly, I can have peace of mind.
M: It seems that it calls for great perseverance.
W: Yes, yoga could train our endurance. A successful learner is an independent one, who has both an indomitable will and amazing endurance.
M: Haha, people are becoming more and more interested in not only taking care of themselves physically, but mentally and spiritually as well.
W: That’s because our knowledge of health and fitness increases in recent years.
M: Yeah, we are feeling tired, under too much stress, no time to exercise... These factors make us have no choice to pay more attention to our own health and fitness.
W: It’s very rare for the universal agreement on this issue.
M: Anyway, to be frank, you look great recently.
W: A couple of days ago, my back was so stiff and I couldn’t sleep on my stomach anymore. It was the yoga that made me feel better.
M: You mean practicing yoga is better than doing some weights or cardio?
W: What you say is true in a way.(5 - 1)Er, everyone knows that yoga is a great way to relieve stress, increase circulation and give us a positive attitude. There are many benefits of the yoga exercise. It is known that yoga also helps provide stress relief and health benefits. With the fast paced world of today, it is easy for an individual to become stressed out with the daily schedule and this type of stress will definitely affect the body and mind.
M:(5-2)But yoga doesn’t do a whole lot to build lean toned muscle and burn fat, which is what most people want to do.
W: The cardio maybe neither. To be honest, intense aerobics should be dependent on how old people are and some people who have heart diseases are not appropriate for the exciting activity.(5 - 3)Yoga is suitable for all ages of people, you know.
M: Oh, I am really frustrated, you win! Today, I will not take up jogging in the park, I’d like to have yoga class together with you!
选项
A、demanding
B、attractive
C、effortless
D、unhealthy
答案
A
解析
本题设题点在观点态度处。根据句(1)可知,迈克宁可在健身房做一些重量训练或者是增强心肺功能的有氧运动,也不愿意练瑜伽,把身体弯曲成令人痛苦的姿势。由此看见,迈克认为瑜伽的姿势要求过高,十分难学,因此答案为[A]。
