Extreme ironing (极限熨烫) is one extreme sport that you’ve probably never heard of. Now let me tell you something about it.
An Englishman named Phil Shaw invented extreme ironing in1997 because he was bored doing iron at home. Extreme ironing is a special kind of outdoor sport. It combines (使结合) danger and excitement with practical ironing.
Who does extreme ironing People all over the world who like danger do it. There are about 1,000 people around the world who do extreme ironing. There are extreme ironing clubs and groups in Britain, Germany, South Africa, New Zealand and the United States. In fact, anyone can do it. However, it is better to start ironing in our backyard before you start to iron on top of a mountain.
There are, of course, some rules in extreme ironing. The ironing must be outdoors. You must take an iron, an ironing board, and something that you actually iron to get the wrinkles (皱褶) out. Outdoors includes faraway and unusual places, such as on top of a mountain, while skiing, snowboarding, skydiving, or under water. The more unusual, the better. However, you should plan carefully because the weather conditions can suddenly change on mountains, for example. You should not do extreme ironing on your own.
What kind of things should you have You must have a real travel iron. You must not use plastic or toy irons. The clothes you iron must be at least the size of a hand towel. It shouldn’t be just a handkerchief (手帕). The board doesn’t have to be a full-size board, but that is preferred. It must be one meter long and thirty centimeters wide and have legs.
People have already ironed near the top of Qomolangma, the highest mountain in the world, and in the Blue Hole in Egypt, one of the most dangerous places to dive. However, there are still many records to break. Iron on!
21.Which is the best advice for beginners to do extreme ironing
A.Doing extreme ironing alone. B.Beginning Ironing in their backyards.
C.Starting ironing on top of a mountain. D.Joining extreme ironing clubs or groups.
22.Which is NOT necessary for extreme ironing
A.A real iron. B.An ironing board.
C.A handkerchief. D.Clothes for ironing.
23.What must you do in extreme ironing
A.Iron outdoors. B.Iron in good weather.
C.Dive in the Blue Hole. D.Ski near a mountain.
24.How do extreme ironers feel when they do the sport
A.They feel bored with extreme ironing.
B.They feel excited although it is dangerous.
C.They feel very scared near the top of Qomolangma.
D.They feel lonely in the places far away from their homes.
B
With just a boat, a paddle (桨) and a bit of water, you can experience fun and exercise in a kayak.
Kayaking is a kind of paddling sport, and people often mistake it for canoeing (划独木舟), but there are some differences. Kayakers sit on the floor of the boat while canoeists sit on a bench. Also, kayak paddles have a wide flat part on either end but canoe paddles have them on only one end.
Within kayaking, there are a few styles that need different levels of skill and fitness. Anyone can enjoy relaxing kayaking, most often paddling on a lake or perhaps a gentle river. Whitewater kayaking is much more exciting because boats travel down fast rivers and even over small waterfalls. Surf kayakers must be both strong-willed and talented as they ride waves on the open ocean.
The difficulty involved with kayaking is transportation-a boat several meters long is not exactly easy to carry around. However, a man who had to leave his kayak behind when moving to a smaller apartment borrowed the idea of Japanese paper folding, and made a new type of special kayak-it can be folded into a very thin pack, allowing the kayak to easily fit in a car. In this way, the problem was perfectly solved.
Kayaking can offer sightseeing opportunities and a good way to exercise certain parts of the body. Paddling is helpful for strengthening the upper body and it requires continuing turning of your main body, giving it some great exercise. Another advantage is that these movements are gentler on the body’s joints and tissues (关节和组织) than running. Kayaking doesn’t just improve the health of the body, though-it also has been shown to make you less stressed as well. With so many benefits, why not head to the closest water and give it a try
25.What is the passage mainly about
A.Canoeing. B.Sightseeing. C.Kayaking. D.Exercising.
26.Which writing skill is used in Paragraph Three
A.Giving examples. B.Listing numbers. C.Listing questions. D.Using sayings.
27.According to the passage, what is special about the new type of kayak
A.It’s good for the body’s joints and tissues.
B.It can be folded and easy to carry around.
C.Its paddles have wide flat parts on both ends.
D.It requires continuing turning of your main body.
四、阅读回答问题
Why do Chinese players always win the first prize in the main table tennis events Thomas J. Scheuer from the US studies at Tsinghua University. He is also a table tennis player. China has many talented table tennis players who train really hard. Scheuer also heard that another reason is that there are a large number of ping-pong fans for the sport in the country. Almost everyone can play a little. To see whether it’s true, he went to a park and visited a club to find out. The active scene surprised him.
At a park in Beijing, Scheuer saw many old people playing table tennis. A man said that he had been playing the sport for more than 50 years. He plays for two hours every day. He was even named one of the “Beijing Masters” when he was 70. “I’ve noticed that I’m the youngest player here in the park,” said Scheuer.
Then Scheuer visited a table tennis club. There, many kids were practicing. A boy said he hoped that he could be an excellent player like Ma Long one day. A girl said playing table tennis helped her relax after doing schoolwork.
The visit made Scheuer truly admire great interests that Chinese people have for table tennis. As China’s national sport, table tennis is as popular as soccer and basketball here. Scheuer was also impressed(印象深刻的) to find that Chinese people of all age groups take part in the sport not just to win, but also to have fun, to make friends, and to have a healthy lifestyle. Such a spirit touched him.

Have you ever watched Liu Genghong’s videos to do some exercise Physical exercise is good for our mind, body and spirit. Today, working out through online videos is becoming very popular. Since the Internet is widely used, it’s very easy for us to do so. ___32___

___34___ When I told my plan to my elder sister, a P.E. teacher, she reminded me that workout videos could be helpful but might still carry some problems.
“Without being with someone in person, you will be less willing to work out to your best.

That’s very important. And then ask your friends for advice. ___35___ Anyway, don’t be addicted (沉迷的) to it. You should try different ways to work out to be healthy.”
At her suggestions, I finally followed an online workout program with personalized help that is held for three months.
