As Americans’ health and fitness levels continue to decline, many of those in the worst shape are afraid to go to a “regular” gym to improve their poor health. They somehow feel embarrassed and don’t know how to begin. For these individuals, boutique gyms that specialize in particular parts of population may be good choices. These special gyms provide a more personal setting tor those returning to a healthy lifestyle or starting a fitness program for the first time. Personal training and individualized attention are key features of these new kinds of gyms.
Bulldog Fitness, a gym for kids only, is using the latest trend in video games that provide a workout to engage their young members. Playstation2 Game Bikes, the Treadwall (a rock climbing wall that moves with you), and DDR Dance Machines are customers’ favorites.
Meanwhile, Irene Pastore of Senior Fit in New York city shows that “age is no excuse for ill-health.” Her boutique gym focuses on the health risks associated with sedentary living. Personal training programs are designed specifically for seniors depending on their special needs.
“We feel that people that need the most guidance often don’t know where to turn. If America is going to change its current health decline, the public and healthcare industry needs to pay more attention to the unique needs of customers,” says Dr. Sal Arria, CEO and founder of the International Sports Science Association(IS-SA). Dr. Arria claims that those returning to a fitness state should make certain that they choose a trainer who holds a specialized certification that qualifies them to work with their individual area of need.

閱讀下面短文，從每題所給四個選項中選出最佳答案。
The popularly－h(huán)eld view has it that “opportunity to learn” is the key to educational success－i. e., the more time children spend on a subject, the better they do at it. Alas, the evidence so far is not encouraging for the proponent(支持者) of this theory. According to a recent study, there seems little correlation(相互關系)between time spent on a subject and performance of pupils in tests.
Next－and of particular interest to governments of poor countries－there appears to be little evidence to support the argument that the main cause of educational under－achievements is under－funding. Low－spending countries such as South Korea and the Czech Republic are at the top. High－spenders such as America and Denmark do much worse. Obviously, there are dozens of reasons other than spending why one country does well, another badly, but the success of the lowspending Czechs and Koreans does show that spending more on schools is not a prerequisite(先決條件) for improving standards.
Another article of faith among the teaching profession－that children are bound to do better in small classes－is also being broken by educational research. The study found that France, America and Britain, where children are usually taught in classes of twenty－odd, do significantly worse than East Asian countries where almost twice as many pupils are crammed into each class. Again, there may be social reasons why some countries can cope better with large classes than others. All the same, the comparison refutes(駁倒，反駁) the argument that larger is necessarily worse.
Further, the study even cast some doubt over the cultural explanation for the greater success of East Asia：that there is some hard－to－define Asian culture, connected with parental authority and a strong social value on education, which makes children more eager to learn and easier to teach. Those who make this argument say it would of course be impossible to replicate(復制) such oriental(東方的) magic in the West.
Yet the results of the study suggest that this is, to put it mildly, exaggerated(夸張), if “culture” makes English children so poor at math, then why have they done so well at science(not far behind the Japanese and South Koreans)? And why do English pupils do well at science and badly at math, while in France it is the other way around? A less mystical, more common explanation suggests itself：English schools teach science well and math badly; French schools teach math better than science; East Asian schools teach both subjects well.
1．The passage is mainly connected with ________.
[ ]
A．building a relationship between culture and education
B．exposing educational myths(神話)
C．introducing educational theories
D．comparing educational practices in different countries
2．All of the following are commonly－h(huán)eld beliefs about education except ________.
[ ]
A．time spent on a subject correlates with academic success
B．educational achievements correlate with the money spent
C．culture is not a deciding factor in school performance
D．large classes contribute to poor educational achievement
3．The fact that English pupils do well at science and badly at math while in France it is the other way around has something to do with ________.
[ ]
A．teaching methods
B．cultural values
C．money spent
D．class size
4．Which of the following statements is supported by the passage?
[ ]
A．Low－spending will lead to good school performance.
B．Students in large classes will do better than students in small classes.
C．Asian culture makes students eager to learn and easy to teach.
