Part B

Directions:

Read the texts from a magazine article in which five people talked about fitness tips for men.

For questions 36 -40, match the name of each person to one of the statements" ( A -G) given be-low. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.

John:

One of the main differences between a man' s and a woman' s body is that men are generally less capable of bending their body than women. You may think it is not important whether your body can bend easily or not, but it is. Stretching your muscles regularly will help you to move more effectively. It can also help you to stay injury-free, relax your muscles and in turn reduce stress.

Mike :

Doing uninterrupted sessions may make you feel like you are doing the best thing for your body. But not giving yourself a break between workouts will mean that you will burn out, and do more harm than good. You should be taking a day off from exercising every two to three days as a minimum ideally. Taking a rest will mean that when you train again you can train harder.

Paul :

Lots of men fall into the trap of thinking that in order to be better and achieve more, they have to perform all of their exercises at a super fast pace. Although it' s true for some exercises, for others this is just not the case. Take weight lifting for example. When lifting slowly, you can increase the amount of time your muscles are tense for and increase the blood flow.

David:

Some men are terrible for sticking to the same fitness routine, but doing different types of fitness activities means that you work different parts of your body, and by doing this you improve your core strength and your balance. It is often difficult for most men to try new things. If you don't want to go into a fitness class on your own, take a friend with you.

Helen :

Women seem to be much better than men at taking a different approach to fitness. They engage physically and mentally with their fitness programs, which has many health benefits. One is that your stress levels can decrease. And some practices of this approach, such as Ta i Chi, can improve bone health. To take advantage of these health benefits, find what suits you best from among the many different fitness techniques that are out there.

Now match the name of each person (36 -40) to the appropriate statement.

Note: there are two extra statements.

36．John A．Try to diversify your fitness activities．

37．Mike B．Body and mind should be engaged in exercising．

Part B

参考译文

约翰：

男性和女性身体主要的不同之一是男性身体弯曲的能力没有女性好。你可能认为无论你的身体能否轻易弯曲并不重要，但事实并非如此。经常伸展肌肉会帮助你更有效地运动，它同样能帮助你免受伤害，放松肌肉，也会帮助你减轻压力。

迈克：

连续不间断的训练可能会让你觉得对身体很好，但是连续训练不休息就意味着你会过度疲惫，这样做弊大于利。你应该至少每两到三天运动后休息一天，这样是比较理想的。休息一下意味着当你再次训练时，你可以更加努力地训练。

保罗：

很多男性陷入了一个误区：为了做得更好、得到更多，他们要以很快的速度进行锻炼。尽管有些运动需要速度，但有些并非如此。以举重为例，当缓慢举起时，你可以增加肌肉紧张的时间和血液流动。

大卫：

一些人坚持不了做同样的健身计划，但是做不同类型的运动意味着你锻炼身体的不同部位，这样能强化你的核心力量和平衡能力。大部分人尝试新的运动是很难的。如果你不想一个人去上健身课，可以和你的朋友一起去。

海伦：

女性似乎比男性更擅长选择不同的健身方式。她们能将身心都投入到训练课程中，这对健康有很多益处。其一是能减轻你的压力，一些如太极这样的运动可以提高骨骼健康。充分利用运动带来的益处，在众多的运动中找到最适合自己的。
