that 宾语从句中省略形式的时间状语从句,补充完整为 when you are exercising

①当状语从句的主语与主句的主语一致且从句中含有 be动词的某种形式时,可以省略状语从句的主语和 be 动词,这时从句中可以出现如下结构:
连词+名词/形容词/介词短语连词+现在分词
连词+过去分词
连词+不定式
E.g.Work hard when(you are)young, or you’ll regret.
②当从句的主语与主句的主语不一致,但从句的主语是 it,从句中又含有 be 动词的某种形式时,可以把 it 和 be 动词一起省略。
E.g.If(it is)necessary, I will come to see you off tomorrow.
③掌握下列短语:if any 如果有的话; if so 如果是这样的话; if ever 如果曾经有的话; if not 如果不这样的话。
E.g.What action, if any, do you take
注意:对状语从句的省略的考查主要是让考生判断连词后面用哪种非谓语形式,解这类题的关键是要弄清楚从句中的动词与其逻辑主语(即主句的主语)之间的关系,如果是主谓关系通常要用现在分词,如果是动宾关系通常要用过去分词。

Teenagers’ fitness problems
Teenagers’ fitness is now a major concern, to which physical exercise is very important. It eases stress and improves fitness. Exercise makes your body strong, and helps you to keep the right weight. A sports scientist, Dr. Helen Lopez, offers the following advice to teenagers, "First, you need to find out your present fitness level. Then you can make a programme that will help you become healthier."
Dr. Lopez says that there are three levels of fitness that need a change of lifestyle. "Overweight" means that the person does very little exercise and often has a serious weight problem. "Inactive"means that the person does not join in many physical activities, but is not seriously overweight. "Active"refers to people who take part in sports but do not have a high fitness level.
According to Dr. Lopez, overweight teenagers should keep active to keep healthy."Ride a bike, play volleyball or basketball for a while, and go for a twenty-minute walk each day. All these will help to burn calories. "Inactive teenagers should do similar activities, but add some bending and stretching exercises(弯曲和伸展运动)at the same time, such as push-ups and sit-ups, starting with twenty for each a day. "Inactive people can take a little more exercise than overweight people because their bodies are stronger," said Dr. Lopez. The rules are same to active teenagers.
Dr. Lopez suggests spending one hour a week or more on running and other forms of intensive exercise(剧烈运动), together with fifteen minutes a day on stretching and bending activities. "These are really important in order to prevent injuries,"Dr. Lopez said. Some weight-training and other body-strengthening exercises could also be included in the programme in order to increase the person's strength.
青少年健康问题
现在青少年的健康是一个重大的问题,体育锻炼是非常重要的。它可以缓解压力,提高体质。运动使你的身体强壮,并帮助你保持正常的体重。作为一名运动科学家,海伦·洛佩向青少年提供以下建议:“首先,你需要了解自己目前的健康水平。然后你可以制定一个计划,帮助你变得更健康。"
洛佩兹博士说,有三个层次的健康需要改变生活方式。"超重"意味着这个人很少运动,经常有严重的体重问题。"不活跃"的意思是这个人不参加很多体育活动,但没有严重超重。"活跃的"是指参加体育运动但身体素质不高的人。
据洛佩兹博士说,超重的青少年应该保持活跃来保持健康。"每天骑一会儿自行车,打一会儿排球或篮球,然后步行20分钟。所有这些都有助于燃烧卡路里。"不活跃的青少年也应该做类似的活动,但要同时增加一些弯曲和伸展运动,如俯卧撑、仰卧起坐,从每天20个开始。"不爱运动的人可以比超重的人多做一点运动,因为他们的身体更强壮,"洛佩兹博说。这些规则对活跃的青少年也是一样的。
洛佩兹博士建议每周华一个小时或更多的时间在跑步和其他形式的剧烈运动上,连同每天15分钟做弯曲或伸展运动。“为了防止受伤,这些都非常重要,”洛佩兹博士说。一些重量训练和其他增强身体力量的运动也可以包括在计划中,以增加人的力量。
