Fitness Exercises You Can Do at Home
Walking
An effective walking workout at home will help to strengthen your legs,while getting some low-impact aerobics as well.If you don’t have any stairs available,just walk around the house a few times —it may not be very exciting,but it will do the job!
Jumping jacks
These are always fun,as they bring back memories of being a kid!Who hasn’t done jumping jacks for fun as a child Well,surprise—they are also great cardio exercises,and good for warming up,too.
Push-ups
These are probably not the most favourite exercise of many people,but while they can be hard to do,you can find easier ways to do them.You don’t need to pretend you’re “Rocky”,and do them with one hand:just do what works for you.Do them on your knees,instead of keeping your legs straight.Or,do them by standing up against a wall.You will build up arm strength and work out muscles in your chest area.
Leg lifts
These are great for building up strength and muscles in your legs.If you find it hard to do the exercises with your legs straight,try bending them slightly.
Crunches
It’s the best exercise for building up and strengthening belly muscles.When you’re just getting started,don’t worry about getting your head all the way up.So long as you’re going up until you feel the stretching of the muscles,you will see some benefit.
Jogging in place
Jogging is a great exercise for your heart.You can jog in place at home while watching TV or listening to music.The only equipment you will require is a good pair of shoes,to eliminate any stress to your legs.
Squats
These are wonderful exercises for your legs and bottoms.You can even just try these by sitting and standing up again from a regular chair,if you’re finding them to be too difficult.As long as you’re able to do a few repetitions,you will provide some benefit to your body.
Dancing
Dancing is a wonderful exercise,which is great for your heart.Not only that,but it can lift your spirits as well,and give your overall feeling a boost.

At 18,I competed in my first marathon in Dublin,Ireland.At that time,I was an excellent 400-metre runner at high school,but it got into my head that I should try longer distance to prove that I was really good at running—and what’s better than the marathon
Back then,the running craze hadn’t quite heated up to the point it has today and running a marathon was unknown to most people.Besides,I never knew anyone who had actually run a marathon.
On the way from England to Dublin,I was wondering what I was getting myself in two days later when the race would begin.I tried to get some sleep to ease my nerves,but I found it hard.
The race day was somewhat cloudy,but the warmth of the people forced away the clouds.My limited memories from that first race remain:the feeling of running through a tunnel(隧道) of people as the crowds lined beside the streets;the cheers from the crowds as the news came that an Irishman had won the race;what’s important,the unbelievable kindness of the crowds cheering me on as I hit the wall and tried to struggle through.Eventually,I didn’t get the prize,but I never gave up and regarded it as a success because I challenged myself.
After my first marathon,I started a website based on my love for running.Whether you’re an experienced marathoner or just an interested passer-by,I invite you to participate in the website and make it your home.Runners and particularly marathoners seem to share common ideals.They’re part of a global team and a global community.

My family and I belonged to a country club located across the street from the Long Island Sound.Each summer,the big attraction for us was the pool.I learned how to swim and joined the swimming team but was never really a good swimmer.However,swimming in my younger days was a way to keep cool,and swimming on a team gave me identity and a sense of belonging.It also became invaluable many years later.
Fast-forward(快进) to 1973—I was married,pregnant and had a home.What made our little home even more wonderful was when I discovered that four blocks away was Rath Park Pool!For the next 30 years,most of our summer days were spent around that pool.
Each of my five kids took swimming lessons and learned all the different swimming strokes(姿势).They later joined the swim team and competed in meets.My daughter even became a lifeguard at the town pool.I sat back and happily took it all in!
As much as I would have liked to have life stand still,it doesn’t.My children outgrew their pool days and moved on.But the pool was still four blocks from my home,so I began to take up swimming again.And it was far better than I ever could have imagined.I got so much out of it that I joined the local pool so I could swim year-round.Whenever I swam,I would always come out feeling physically and mentally refreshed.I often felt that if I looked hard enough,I would be able to see all of the worries and problems I’ve had in life,sitting at the bottom of the pool!
What has swimming taught me I’ve learned that balance is the key to being a good swimmer.
If you are balanced in the water,you have no resistance.Working on staying balanced made me realize the similarities between life in and out of the swim lane(泳道).If you work on keeping yourself balanced,you will be able to swim right through the stress and problems life throws at you!

　　Do you have a favourite sport Are you passionate about sewing or reading Typically,you engage in these activities simply because you enjoy them.Would you be taken aback to know the overjustification(过度合理化) effect that when you are rewarded for your beloved activities,your desire to participate in them diminishes
Edward Deci,a psychology professor,conducted a series of experiments,in one of which Deci divided the participants into two groups:one was paid to complete a puzzle,and the other was not paid.After money was removed,the group that was previously paid to play showed less motivation to complete the task than the group that was never paid and only did the puzzle for enjoyment.The outcome demonstrated the overjustification effect,which occurs when an external stimulation decreases a person’s internal motivation to perform a task or engage in an activity.
According to the self-determination theory,three conditions are essential for people to feel internally motivated and perform at their best:autonomy,freedom from external restrictions;
competence,the need to feel capable,and relatedness,the need to feel connected with others.In Deci’s experiment,money acted as a tie,which reduced participants’ autonomy,a crucial component of internal motivation,discouraging them from experiencing the freedom of external restrictions.The pressure to perform for the money lessened the pleasure and freedom felt by those who were doing the puzzle merely for fun.
But if external stimulation is tied to performance,the overjustification effect is less influential.For example,being rewarded for studying is unlikely to decrease internal motivation because the grades depend upon actually doing well rather than just going through the motions.
While the overjustification effect can reduce motivation,some strategies can lower its impact.One is to focus on providing feedback and recognition rather than concrete rewards.For instance,praising an individual’s effort or acknowledging their accomplishments can maintain their internal motivation.Additionally,allowing individuals to have autonomy and control over their tasks also works.By giving them the freedom to choose how they complete tasks,individuals are more likely to be internally motivated and experience a greater sense of satisfaction and engagement.

[A] Remains. [B] Weakens.
[C] Ceases. [D] Increases.
(　　)33.How did Deci prove the overjustification effect in the experiment
[A] By interpreting a concept.
[B] By presenting an argument.

[D] By describing a phenomenon.

[A] The skills needed for a puzzle.

[D] The theoretical basis for the overjustification effect.

[C] Offering a clerk financial bonuses for daily routines.
[D] Promising an employee a decent position for doing his duty.

Every new exercise routine comes a new risk of injury,whether it’s injuring a muscle from lifting or developing knee pain from running.Some people are unwilling to exercise for fear of injury.36.　　　 There are so many sports-related injuries each year in America.However,with the right methods,you can develop a well-rounded exercise routine,one that enlarges the benefits while reducing the risk of injury.
37.　　　 One very common issue in runners is knee pain,which is often called “runner’s knee”.To prevent it,for some people,it’s useful to warm up before running.Another common overuse injury among runners is stress fractures (骨折).This often happens when a runner tries to add too many miles too quickly,without taking enough rest days.
Both of these injuries tend to happen because runners did something out of the ordinary compared to what they were trained to do.Take rest days,build up your mileage (里程) gradually and combine with regular strength training.38.　　
As with other injuries,the risk increases towards the end of a workout.It’s very essential to listen to your body.39.　　　 When it comes to making progress in a workout routine,continuous exercise with a gradual progression is strongly recommended.
Exercise can put someone at risk of injury.40.　　　 There should be a balance between pushing yourself to get better and pushing yourself towards an injury.So encourage yourself to do something that you are confident in doing.
A.These fears are based on facts.
B.Turn to a mixture of sports doctors.
C.This type of exercise can increase the risk of injury.
D.Therefore,the risk of hurting yourself will decrease.
E.But not exercising puts someone at risk of poor health.
F.Adjust in time,especially when tiredness starts to affect your form.
G.Runners may come across two main sorts of injuries related to overuse.

　　阅读下面的材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was the last game of the season.Cali had been playing soccer all summer.She really enjoyed running around with the other players.As much as she tried,though,Cali still had not scored one single goal.
“Don’t give up,” said her coach.He showed Cali and her team how to pass the ball to each other and take shots at the goal.Cali was pretty good at passing the ball,but even during practices,she couldn’t kick the ball past the goalkeeper.She wondered if she should quit soccer for good.
“Don’t give up,” said Uncle George and Aunt Lisa.But it was half-time,and Cali was feeling upset.She was trying!Every time she got a chance to kick the ball,it would go in the wrong direction or a player from the other team would take control of it.Maybe she would try a different sport next summer.
The break was over and the referee (裁判) blew her whistle to start the game again.The two teams walked back onto the field,both determined to win.Cali heard her aunt whisper in her ear.“Look for an opportunity to get the ball.You can do it.” Cali took a deep breath.Even if she didn’t get one goal all summer,she knew that she had tried her best.That was something to be proud of.
The yellow team was pretty good,but Cali’s blue team was fast.Cali was off to the side when the ball headed her way.She ran over to it and kicked it.She watched it land right in front of a girl on the yellow team who expertly stopped it and sent it back in the other direction.Cali sighed
(叹气).
Cali decided she’d wait until the game was over and then she was going to hang up her soccer shoes for good.Cali started daydreaming about becoming a hip-hop dancer instead.She was woken from her daydream by some music that was definitely not hip-hop.It was the sweet,happy jingle of the ice cream truck.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
It was right beside the soccer field,playing its music loudly to attract customers and players as well.
Paragraph 2:
She ran fast to the ball. 核心素养提升(Unit 2)

A
Fitness Exercises You Can Do at Home
Walking
An effective walking workout at home will help to strengthen your legs,while getting some low-impact aerobics as well.If you don’t have any stairs available,just walk around the house a few times —it may not be very exciting,but it will do the job!
Jumping jacks
These are always fun,as they bring back memories of being a kid!Who hasn’t done jumping jacks for fun as a child Well,surprise—they are also great cardio exercises,and good for warming up,too.
Push-ups
These are probably not the most favourite exercise of many people,but while they can be hard to do,you can find easier ways to do them.You don’t need to pretend you’re “Rocky”,and do them with one hand:just do what works for you.Do them on your knees,instead of keeping your legs straight.Or,do them by standing up against a wall.You will build up arm strength and work out muscles in your chest area.
Leg lifts
These are great for building up strength and muscles in your legs.If you find it hard to do the exercises with your legs straight,try bending them slightly.
Crunches
It’s the best exercise for building up and strengthening belly muscles.When you’re just getting started,don’t worry about getting your head all the way up.So long as you’re going up until you feel the stretching of the muscles,you will see some benefit.
Jogging in place
Jogging is a great exercise for your heart.You can jog in place at home while watching TV or listening to music.The only equipment you will require is a good pair of shoes,to eliminate any stress to your legs.
Squats
These are wonderful exercises for your legs and bottoms.You can even just try these by sitting and standing up again from a regular chair,if you’re finding them to be too difficult.As long as you’re able to do a few repetitions,you will provide some benefit to your body.
Dancing
Dancing is a wonderful exercise,which is great for your heart.Not only that,but it can lift your spirits as well,and give your overall feeling a boost.

At 18,I competed in my first marathon in Dublin,Ireland.At that time,I was an excellent 400-metre runner at high school,but it got into my head that I should try longer distance to prove that I was really good at running—and what’s better than the marathon
Back then,the running craze hadn’t quite heated up to the point it has today and running a marathon was unknown to most people.Besides,I never knew anyone who had actually run a marathon.
On the way from England to Dublin,I was wondering what I was getting myself in two days later when the race would begin.I tried to get some sleep to ease my nerves,but I found it hard.
The race day was somewhat cloudy,but the warmth of the people forced away the clouds.My limited memories from that first race remain:the feeling of running through a tunnel(隧道) of people as the crowds lined beside the streets;the cheers from the crowds as the news came that an Irishman had won the race;what’s important,the unbelievable kindness of the crowds cheering me on as I hit the wall and tried to struggle through.Eventually,I didn’t get the prize,but I never gave up and regarded it as a success because I challenged myself.
After my first marathon,I started a website based on my love for running.Whether you’re an experienced marathoner or just an interested passer-by,I invite you to participate in the website and make it your home.Runners and particularly marathoners seem to share common ideals.They’re part of a global team and a global community.

C
My family and I belonged to a country club located across the street from the Long Island Sound.Each summer,the big attraction for us was the pool.I learned how to swim and joined the swimming team but was never really a good swimmer.However,swimming in my younger days was a way to keep cool,and swimming on a team gave me identity and a sense of belonging.It also became invaluable many years later.
Fast-forward(快进) to 1973—I was married,pregnant and had a home.What made our little home even more wonderful was when I discovered that four blocks away was Rath Park Pool!For the next 30 years,most of our summer days were spent around that pool.
Each of my five kids took swimming lessons and learned all the different swimming strokes(姿势).They later joined the swim team and competed in meets.My daughter even became a lifeguard at the town pool.I sat back and happily took it all in!
As much as I would have liked to have life stand still,it doesn’t.My children outgrew their pool days and moved on.But the pool was still four blocks from my home,so I began to take up swimming again.And it was far better than I ever could have imagined.I got so much out of it that I joined the local pool so I could swim year-round.Whenever I swam,I would always come out feeling physically and mentally refreshed.I often felt that if I looked hard enough,I would be able to see all of the worries and problems I’ve had in life,sitting at the bottom of the pool!
What has swimming taught me I’ve learned that balance is the key to being a good swimmer.
If you are balanced in the water,you have no resistance.Working on staying balanced made me realize the similarities between life in and out of the swim lane(泳道).If you work on keeping yourself balanced,you will be able to swim right through the stress and problems life throws at you!

　　Do you have a favourite sport Are you passionate about sewing or reading Typically,you engage in these activities simply because you enjoy them.Would you be taken aback to know the overjustification(过度合理化) effect that when you are rewarded for your beloved activities,your desire to participate in them diminishes
Edward Deci,a psychology professor,conducted a series of experiments,in one of which Deci divided the participants into two groups:one was paid to complete a puzzle,and the other was not paid.After money was removed,the group that was previously paid to play showed less motivation to complete the task than the group that was never paid and only did the puzzle for enjoyment.The outcome demonstrated the overjustification effect,which occurs when an external stimulation decreases a person’s internal motivation to perform a task or engage in an activity.
According to the self-determination theory,three conditions are essential for people to feel internally motivated and perform at their best:autonomy,freedom from external restrictions;
competence,the need to feel capable,and relatedness,the need to feel connected with others.In Deci’s experiment,money acted as a tie,which reduced participants’ autonomy,a crucial component of internal motivation,discouraging them from experiencing the freedom of external restrictions.The pressure to perform for the money lessened the pleasure and freedom felt by those who were doing the puzzle merely for fun.
But if external stimulation is tied to performance,the overjustification effect is less influential.For example,being rewarded for studying is unlikely to decrease internal motivation because the grades depend upon actually doing well rather than just going through the motions.
While the overjustification effect can reduce motivation,some strategies can lower its impact.One is to focus on providing feedback and recognition rather than concrete rewards.For instance,praising an individual’s effort or acknowledging their accomplishments can maintain their internal motivation.Additionally,allowing individuals to have autonomy and control over their tasks also works.By giving them the freedom to choose how they complete tasks,individuals are more likely to be internally motivated and experience a greater sense of satisfaction and engagement.
【语篇导读】 本文是说明文。文章介绍了一位学者通过实验证明了过度合理化效应。
(　　)32.What does the underlined word “diminishes” in Paragraph 1 mean
[A] Remains. [B] Weakens.
[C] Ceases. [D] Increases.
【答案】 B
【解析】 猜测词义题。根据第二段最后一句可知,此处介绍过度合理化效应指的是外部刺激会减弱一个人的内在动机,因此,画线词的含义为“减弱”,与B项意义相近,故选B。
(　　)33.How did Deci prove the overjustification effect in the experiment
[A] By interpreting a concept.
[B] By presenting an argument.
[C] By making a comparison.
[D] By describing a phenomenon.
【答案】 C
【解析】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“After money was removed...only did the puzzle for enjoyment.”可知,Deci是通过把实验人员分成两组后进行对比来证明过度合理化效应的,故
选C。
(　　)34.What is mainly illustrated in Paragraph 3
[A] The skills needed for a puzzle.
[B] The core elements of inner drive.
[C] The impact of autonomy on competence.
[D] The theoretical basis for the overjustification effect.
【答案】 D
【解析】 段落大意题。根据第三段中的“According to the self-determination theory...feel connected with others.”可知,本段主要介绍的是过度合理化效应的理论基础,故选D。
(　　)35.Which serves as an example of preventing the overjustification effect
[A] Speaking highly of a pupil’s hard work.
[B] Rewarding a kid with candy for playing the violin.

Every new exercise routine comes a new risk of injury,whether it’s injuring a muscle from lifting or developing knee pain from running.Some people are unwilling to exercise for fear of injury.36.　　　 There are so many sports-related injuries each year in America.However,with the right methods,you can develop a well-rounded exercise routine,one that enlarges the benefits while reducing the risk of injury.
37.　　　 One very common issue in runners is knee pain,which is often called “runner’s knee”.To prevent it,for some people,it’s useful to warm up before running.Another common overuse injury among runners is stress fractures (骨折).This often happens when a runner tries to add too many miles too quickly,without taking enough rest days.
Both of these injuries tend to happen because runners did something out of the ordinary compared to what they were trained to do.Take rest days,build up your mileage (里程) gradually and combine with regular strength training.38.　　
As with other injuries,the risk increases towards the end of a workout.It’s very essential to listen to your body.39.　　　 When it comes to making progress in a workout routine,continuous exercise with a gradual progression is strongly recommended.
Exercise can put someone at risk of injury.40.　　　 There should be a balance between pushing yourself to get better and pushing yourself towards an injury.So encourage yourself to do something that you are confident in doing.
A.These fears are based on facts.
B.Turn to a mixture of sports doctors.
C.This type of exercise can increase the risk of injury.
D.Therefore,the risk of hurting yourself will decrease.
E.But not exercising puts someone at risk of poor health.
F.Adjust in time,especially when tiredness starts to affect your form.
G.Runners may come across two main sorts of injuries related to overuse.

　　One possible version:
Dear John,
Hearing that a sport will be selected to be one of the activities of the Sports and Art Festival,I’m writing to recommend my favourite sport,soccer.
As we all know,soccer,with a long history,is a kind of sport that enjoys great popularity among all walks of life.There are various benefits that playing soccer can bring us.Initially,it was an appropriate approach to building up our strength.Subsequently,soccer contributes a lot to improving our ability in cooperation and developing our team spirits.Apart from these,playing soccer broadens our connections with our classmates,making it easier for us to make friends.
I’d appreciate it if you can take my suggestion into account.Keenly anticipate your early reply.
Yours,
Li Hua

　　阅读下面的材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was the last game of the season.Cali had been playing soccer all summer.She really enjoyed running around with the other players.As much as she tried,though,Cali still had not scored one single goal.
“Don’t give up,” said her coach.He showed Cali and her team how to pass the ball to each other and take shots at the goal.Cali was pretty good at passing the ball,but even during practices,she couldn’t kick the ball past the goalkeeper.She wondered if she should quit soccer for good.
“Don’t give up,” said Uncle George and Aunt Lisa.But it was half-time,and Cali was feeling upset.She was trying!Every time she got a chance to kick the ball,it would go in the wrong direction or a player from the other team would take control of it.Maybe she would try a different sport next summer.
The break was over and the referee (裁判) blew her whistle to start the game again.The two teams walked back onto the field,both determined to win.Cali heard her aunt whisper in her ear.“Look for an opportunity to get the ball.You can do it.” Cali took a deep breath.Even if she didn’t get one goal all summer,she knew that she had tried her best.That was something to be proud of.
The yellow team was pretty good,but Cali’s blue team was fast.Cali was off to the side when the ball headed her way.She ran over to it and kicked it.She watched it land right in front of a girl on the yellow team who expertly stopped it and sent it back in the other direction.Cali sighed
(叹气).
Cali decided she’d wait until the game was over and then she was going to hang up her soccer shoes for good.Cali started daydreaming about becoming a hip-hop dancer instead.She was woken from her daydream by some music that was definitely not hip-hop.It was the sweet,happy jingle of the ice cream truck.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。

　　One possible version:
It was right beside the soccer field,playing its music loudly to attract customers and players as well.The players on both teams turned to look at it.A few girls pointed to it and cheered.Some called out excitedly to their parents to buy them one.The soccer game practically stopped.Cali looked around and saw the soccer ball close by,which was ignored by the nearest yellow
player .Cali smiled happily.She looked at her aunt,who was nodding at her .“Now!” her aunt yelled.Cali didn’t hesitate.
She ran fast to the ball.By the time the other girls noticed,Cali had positioned right in front of the net.The goalkeeper was standing to one side,also looking at the ice cream truck .She turned back quickly to guard the net as Cali kicked the ball hard.The goalkeeper reached out her gloved hand.The ball touched the tips of her fingers as it swooshed past,right into the top corner of the net.The referee blew her whistle.“Goal!” Cali jumped with joy,at the same time all her teammates surrounding her,jumping and shouting .
