I was never very neat (整洁的), while my roommate Kate was fairly organized. Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled (贴标签) everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.
War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.
The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but fora phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled (爬) under her covers, sobbing (抽泣).
Obviously, that was something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy (同情) rose up in my heart.
Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn’t notice Kate had sat up.
She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief (不相信). Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me. “Thanks.”
Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year. We didn’t always agree, but we learned the key to living together: giving in, cleaning up and holding on.

In today’s fast-paced world, people are constantly seeking ways to improve their well-being (幸福感). Two prominent aspects that have gained significant attention are sports and travelling, both of which are deeply related to fitness and personal growth.
Sports play a crucial role in our lives. They are not just about winning or losing; they are about building strength. Whether it’s the powerlifting that requires immense physical might or the endurance (耐力) needed in long-distance running, sports determine our physical capabilities (体能). Different sports demand various skills and levels of fitness. For example, in team sports like soccer, players need to have both individual strength and the ability to work with teammates. This combination helps in developing a holistic sense of fitness.
Travelling, too, has a unique connection with fitness. When we travel, especially when we venture (冒险) into the great outdoors during hikes or explore new cities on foot, we are engaging in physical activities that contribute to our well-being. It’s not just about seeing new places; it’s about the journey itself. The physical exertion (体力) during travel can enhance our strength and endurance. For instance, climbing a mountain during a trek (长途艰苦旅行) can be a challenging yet rewarding (有益的) fitness experience.
Moreover, we can apply the lessons learned from sports and travel to our daily lives. The discipline (纪律) we acquire from regular sports training and the adaptability we gain from dealing with different travel situations can help us face other challenges with more confidence.

Teenagers’ fitness is now a major concern, to which physical exercise is very important. It reduces stress and improves fitness. Exercise makes your body strong, and helps you to keep the right body weight. Sports scientist Dr. Helen Lopez offers the following advice to teenagers: “First, you need to find out your present level of fitness. Then you can design a programme that will help you become healthier.”
Dr. Lopez points out that there are three levels of fitness that need a change of lifestyle. “Overweight” means that the person gets very little exercise and often has a serious weight problem. “Inactive” means that the person does not join in many physical activities, but is not seriously overweight. “Active” refers to people who take part in sports and other physical activities, but do not have a high fitness level.
According to Dr. Lopez, overweight teenagers should keep active to keep healthy. “Ride a bike, play volleyball or basketball for a while, and go for a twenty-minute walk each day. All these will help to burn calories.” Inactive teenagers should do similar activities, but add some bending and stretching exercises, such as push-ups and sit-ups, starting with twenty of each a day. “Inactive people can take a little more exercise than overweight people because their bodies are stronger,” said Dr. Lopez. The same principle (规则) applies to active teenagers.
Dr. Lopez suggests one hour a week or more on running and other forms of intensive (高强度) exercise, together with fifteen minutes a day spent on stretching and bending activities. “These are really important in order to prevent injuries,” Dr. Lopez said. Some weight-training and other body-strengthening exercises could also be planned in the programme in order to increase the person’s strength.
12. Which of the following statements is NOT the reason why physical exercise is important
A. It can increase teenagers’ strength. B. It can help teenagers become healthier.
C. It can help to burn up calories. D. It can make the teenagers grow taller.
13. What can we learn from the passage
A. Active people always have a high fitness level.
B. Overweight people always take more exercise.
C. Inactive teenagers are not seriously overweight.
D. Keeping fit means changing teenagers’ lifestyle.
14. In order to prevent injuries, you should do some ________ exercises.
A. stretching and bending B. walking C. Riding D. weight-training
15. What is the best title for the passage
A. Doing exercises B. Teenagers’ Fitness C. Different Lifestyles D. Overweight Teenagers
