　　Fitness isn't just physical：Change your thoughts, and you change your world．Of course we can all agree that gaining and losing weight, exercise, diet, strength, and flexibility are all a part of fitness．But what about body image, self-esteem, aging, relationships, success and happiness? They are all related, all connected, and fitness in all areas is important if you want true and total fitness．

　　But you may say, “I just want to lose 20 pounds．If I do, I will feel better about myself and I will be happy．”Maybe in the short term, but honestly, if we don't deal with our mental and emotional fitness while working on the physical fitness, there is very little chance of keeping the weight off, feeling good about yourself, and improving every other area of your life．

　　Let's not waste time in changing our bodies when they will only change back if we don't change our minds, too．Let's work “out” and work “in” at the same time．Change your mind－and you must, because if you have been trying to lose weight, but cannot, there is something inside of you that is disallowing it．You can change this pattern, improve your self-esteem, increase your joy, and change your body for good by focusing on changing your mind, too．This is training of life．

　　Work-ins will recondition your mind, improve your attitude, change your perception(觀念)and stimulate motivation(動(dòng)機(jī))at the same time you are conditioning your body for weight loss, shaping, strength and endurance．

　　If you repeat a positive statement over and over to yourself－like a mantra, your mind will change, the same way your body does, even if you don't believe it．Like lifting a weight over and over, your muscle changes－even if you don't believe it．

　　Try it－what have you got to lose? Say, “I am ready for my body to be healthier, leaner, and stronger．I love it already．”Say it over and over while you are walking or running or doing any exercise．Pick a statement that works for you－something positive and in the present tense．

答案：1．C;2．B;3．C;4．D;
解析：

(1)

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第1段的描述即可知作者尤其是Change your minds, and you change the world可知作者認(rèn)為鍛煉心理比鍛煉身體更為重要。

(2)

詞義理解題。根據(jù)第4段Work-ins will recondition your mind…及第5段If you repeat a positive statement over and over to yourself－like a mantra, your mind will change．可判斷mantra的意思是helps to recondition your mind．

(3)

主旨大意題。根據(jù)第1段的描述便可知本文主要介紹人們在健身的同時(shí)，還應(yīng)鍛煉自己的心理，因此答案是C。

(4)

　　解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第4段Work-ins will recondition your mind, improve your attitude…at the same time you are conditioning your body for weight, shaping, strength and endurance可知在重塑心理、態(tài)度等的同時(shí)，人們也在重塑自己的體重、形體、體力等，既然work-in是針對心理的，work-out便是針對身體的。

　　文章大意：健康不僅僅意味著身體健康，我們在鍛煉身體的同時(shí)還必須強(qiáng)健我們的心理、態(tài)度、觀念和動(dòng)機(jī)，改變了心理，就改變了世界。

閱讀理解

　　LONDON--A morning's train ride away, across the Channel. English kids talk about Liverpool's soccer team in a Paris pub.

　　Some Parisians have even started to go to work in London.

　　In the 19 century, Charles Dickens compared the two great rival（競爭的）cities, London and Paris, in “A Tale of Two Cities.”These days, it might be A Tale of One City.

　　Parisians are these days likely to smile in sympathy at a visitor's broken French and respond in polite English.

　　As Jobs grew lack at home over recent years, perhaps 250,000 Frenchmen moved across the Channel. With an undersea tunnel, they could travel between cities in three hours. The European Union frees them from immigration and customs.

　　Paris, rich in beauty, is more attractive. But London feels more full of life, and more fun until the pubs shut down.

　　“For me, the difference is that London is real, alive,”said Trevor Wheeler, a banker.

　　Chantal Jaouen, a professional designer, agrees.“I am French, but I'll stay in London,”she said.

　　There is, of course, the other view. Julie Lenoux is a student who moved to London two years ago.“I think people laugh more in Paris,”she said.

　　In fact, London and Paris, with their obvious new similarities, are beyond the old descriptions. As the European Union gradually loosened controls, Londoners flocked into Paris to shop, eat and buy property.

　　“Both cities have changed beyond recognition. ”said Larry Collins, a writer and sometimes a Londoner.

　　Like most people who know both well, he finds the two now fit together comfortably.

　　“I first fell in love with Paris in the 1950s, and is still a wonderful place.”Collins said.

　　“But if I had to choose, it would be London. Things are so much more ordered, and life is better.”

　　But certainly not cheaper.

　　In fancy parts of London, rents can be twice than those on Avenue Foch in Paris.

　　Deciding between London and Paris requires a lifestyle choice.

　　Like Daphne Benoit, a French journalism student with perfect English, many young people are happy to be close enough to they don't have to choose.

　　“I love Paris, my little neighborhood, the way I can walk around a centre, but life is so structured,”she said.“In London, you can be who you want. No one cares.”

（1）The best title for this passage is ______ .

[　　]

A. Londoners and Parisians

B. A Modem Tale of Two Cities

C. The Similarity of Two Cities

D. Fancy London and Fashionable Paris

（2）We can infer from the text ______ .

[　　]

A. Paris and London have become perfect partners

B. London feels more full of life

C. life in Paris is structured

D. Paris and London have become fierce competitors

（3）The underlined word“flocked”probably means ______ .

[　　]

A. came in large numbers

B. flew a long way

C. rushed hurriedly

D. drove long distances

（4）Living in Paris, you may find ______ .

[　　]

A. life is better

B. things are cheaper

C. more attractive people

D. a job easily

（5）From the passage we can know ______ .

[　　]

A. the two cities have developed very fast

B. London is better than Paris now

C. Paris is a favorite place for all journalism students

D. people in both London and Paris now lead a regular life

　　Holidaymakers who are bored with baking beaches and overheated hotel rooms head for a big igloo. Swedish businessman Nile Bergqvist is delighted with his new hotel, the world's first igloo hotel. Built in a small town in Lapland, it has been attracting lots of visitors, but soon the fun will be over.

　　In two weeks' time Bersqvist's ice creation (作品) will be nothing more than a pool of water. “We don't see it as a big problem,” he says. “We just look forward to replacing it.”

　　Bergqvist built his first igloo in 1991 for exhibition. It was so successful that he designed the present one, which measures roughly 200 square meters. Six workmen spent more than eight weeks piling 1000 tons of snow onto a wooden base; when the snow froze, the base was removed. “The only wooden thing we have left in the igloo is the front door,” he says.

　　After their stay, all visitors receive a survival certificate recording their success. With no windows, nowhere to hang clothes and temperatures below 0℃, it may seem more like a survival test than a relaxing (輕松的) hotel break. “It's great fun,” Bergqvist explains, “as well as a good start in survival training.”

　　The popularity of the igloo is beyond doubt: it is now attracting tourists from all over the world. At least 800 people have stayed at the igloo this season even though there are only 10 rooms. “You can get a lot of people in.” Explains Bergqvist. “The beds are three meters wide by two meters long, and can fit at least four at one time.”

[　　]

A．he believed people would enjoy trying something new

C．a(chǎn)n art exhibition was about to open

D．more hotel rooms were needed

2．When the writer says “the fun will be over,” he refers to the facts that ________.

[　　]

A．hotel guests will be frightened at the thought of the hard best

B．Bergqvist's hotel will soon become a pool of water

C．holidaymakers will soon get tried of the big igloo

D．a(chǎn) bigger igloo will replace the present one

[　　]

A．to gather a pool of water

　　The purpose of keeping fit is to avoid illness, resist the mental and physical fatigue(疲勞)that make us more likely to contract infections, and above all to feel more pleasure in being alive．

　　Research has shown the value of a balanced diet, fresh air, sunshine, enough rest and some forms of regular exercise for everyone．If everyone followed this plan, the number of people visiting the doctor and going to hospital would be considerably reduced．

　　Unfortunately, although most people acknowledge the importance of physical fitness, not enough of us put this into practice．We spend too much time watching others from the comfort of an armchair or a seat in the stand at a sports stadium．

　　One reason why people who are physically fit to live longer is that they do not put the heart under excessive strain(過度勞累)and so they reduce the risk of heart and blood vessel(血管)diseases．They also avoid suffering the consequences of weakened muscles, which are the cause of a great deal of back and abdominal(腹部的)trouble．

　　About 640 muscles for about 45％ of our body’s weight, they must have the ability to store energy and be continually supplied with fuel by the blood．Sensible exercise, suited to each individual and preferably undertaken on the advice of a doctor, is the best insurance of meeting these requirements．

(1)

[　　]

A．

B．

Because they want to add mental and physical fatigue．

C．

Because they want to feel happier and live longer．

He will be more exhausted(疲憊的)．

B．

He will know his doctor very well．

C．

He will do less work．

He may be less familiar with the hospital．

　　One woman in nine will develop breast cancer(乳腺癌)over her lifetime．However, a healthy diet can reduce your risk of developing the disease by 40 to 60 percent．

　　Generally speaking, eating more vegetables can reduce your risk of developing breast cancer by 60 percent．Vegetables like cabbage are rich in fiber(纖維), can lower your risk of developing breast cancer．To get the most from their goodness, it's recommended that you eat at least three to four cups of these vegetables per week．

　　It's the oleic acid(油酸)contained in olive oil．American scientists conducting laboratory research have observed that oleic acid has a beneficial effect on breast cancer cells．Olive oil is the richest source of this acid, so whenever possible, use it in place of butter．

　　Eating fruit is another excellent way to help prevent the development of breast cancer．In fact, women who do eat fruit are six percent less likely to develop the disease．The American Institute for Cancer Research considers berries(漿果類)(blueberries, strawberries, etc．)to be powerful for breast cancer fighters．

　　It's the lycopene(番茄紅素), found in great quantities in tomatoes, that can reduce the risk of developing breast cancer．The lycopene found in canned tomatoes is more readily absorbed by the body than that contained in fresh ones, so add tomato juice, paste, and sauce to your diet．

　　As a result of various studies, the American Institute for Cancer Research has concluded that components(成分)found in green tea can help halt the development of cancerous tumours(瘤)and even prevent them from appearing in the first place．Three cups a day will help you get the benefits of green tea．
