What should you do when you can’t find the time to do a long workout Have you heard of exercise snacks (零食式锻炼)
Exercise snacks are a popular and inventive new way for people to stay fit. Instead of spending hours on the playground, people break that “large meal” into exercise “snacks”. These exercises can last anywhere from 20 seconds to two minutes. Then you can have a rest for 30 minutes to four hours before another snack.
It is reported that exercise snacks can be as useful as traditional exercise methods. Just three exercise snacks a day can benefit (使受益) your physical health. Besides that, there are lots of other benefits. Your concentration (专注力) and creativity get better, and you can become more productive. Also, “snacking” throughout the day stops you from sitting too long.
There are so many acceptable exercise snacks, like doing sit-ups, jumping rope or running up and down some stairs (楼梯). But for those who don’t know where to start, here are some helpful exercise choices:
Exercises such as lifting weights will satisfy the needs. Since most people don’t keep weights at their offices, lift full water bottles.
Squats (深蹲) — moving your body as if to sit down while keeping your back straight. Five to ten of these should make a good snack.
For those who don5t like traditional exercises, simply turn up the music. Pick a lively song and start dancing. It’ll make for a fun workout.
What are you waiting for Let’s get moving. Your body will thank you for it!

The Four Seasons, written by the Italian musician Antonio Vivaldi, was first played about 300 years ago. Since then, it has enjoyed worldwide popularity.
The great musical work includes four parts: “Spring”, “Summer”, “Autumn” and ‘‘Winter”. Each part brings to mind the season it is meant to describe. “Summer”, for example, begins slowly. Listeners can easily picture a hot, lazy summer day when nobody wants to move. When you listen to “Autumn”, a harvest (收获) celebration will readily come to mind.
But now, Hache Costa, a music director in Spain, has decided to give the old work a fresh feel. He says the climate (气候) today is very different from what it was in the 1700s. The Four Seasons would be “a lot dirtier” if it were written now.
Costa has “updated” the musical work to make it match the realities of the modern world. The ‘“updated” musical work has been played in Madrid, Spain. The performance takes place in front of a screen. As the musicians play, a video shows the effects (影响) of climate change, such as forest fires and unusually dry weather.
After enjoying it, people find the new “Summer” now sounds noisier and more powerful. Because of global warming (全球变暖), the other three seasons have become shorter. Costa says he expects people to feel “really sad” after listening to the new Four Seasons.
“I really want more people to become truly aware of (意识到) what is happening to our planet,” says Costa. “And I believe Vivaldi would not be angry with my changes.”
7. What do we know about The Four Seasons
A. It is still unpopular now.
B. It was written by Hache Costa.
C. It was first played about 300 years ago.
8. What will come to mind when we listen to the old “Autumn” according to the passage
A. Forest fires and dry weather. B. A harvest celebration. C. A hot lazy day.
9. Which is close to the underlined word “updated” in meaning in Paragraph 4
A. 提上日程 B. 追根溯源 C. 赋予新意
10. Why did Hache Costa give the old work a fresh feel
A. To call on more people to love music.
B. To raise public awareness of climate change.
C. To present the story of Antonio Vivaldi’s colorful life.

Have you ever faced a time when things looked dark and you had no hope at all Two years ago, my body ached all the time. So I went to the doctor. I was told I had a serious illness which was difficult to cure (治愈). And I thought I didn’t have much longer to live. I was very afraid and I felt so lonely and discouraged.
Then one day, I had to go through a two-hour medical treatment. The doctor wanted me to relax, so she played some music for me, and one of the songs was Happy, which has been my favorite song till now. This positive (积极的) and uplifting song gave me strength (力量) and helped me go through the darkness. From then on, I began to listen to music all the time. John A. Logan once said, “Music is the medicine of the mind.” And it’s true. Music worked wonders for me. It helped me recover (恢复) and come back to life.
Of course I hope none of you have to experience the same kind of suffering (痛苦) that I did. However, we all go through some periods when we feel sad or lonely. During those times, music can help you in the same way that it helped me. I hope all of you will value music and make it a part of your life.

Music is like a key, which opens a door to the world for me.
Music brings me hope and strength during hard times, offering words of wisdom that guide me through life’s challenges. Music helps me build a good relationship. When I was young, I used to be shy. As I took up playing the guitar to deal with my shyness, I made lots of friends. Besides, music opens my eyes. Through music, I can broaden my horizons, sharpen my mind, and deepen my understanding.
Also, music reminds me of some happy memories. It makes me remember the love and care my teachers and friends have given me. It tells me the best things in life are free.
