Health is very important to everyone. Different people have their own ways to keep healthy. A lot of people like running on the treadmills (跑步机). But it is not a good way to make you strong and healthy. Here are some reasons why you should run outdoors but not on the treadmills.

You burn (燃烧) more calories running outside than you do on a treadmill, because you have to work harder in order to move your body. When you run on a treadmill, you only move your legs. But when exercising outside, you must move your legs and your hands and so on.
Why not go for a run outdoors Come on!

Now more people have to work indoors with computers. This means much sitting and little exercise. We have known that if we don’t move much, we will get fatter, we will have heart problems and maybe we will get diabetes. And new studies have shown that it could hurt our mental (精神的) health, too.
A study of 937 Brazilian adults (成年人) found that about one third of them sat for more than 10 hours per day. It reported that people who sat for too long often showed more symptoms of depression (抑郁).
Another study was centered on children. It found that each extra hour of sitting time at the age of 12,14 and 16 led to higher depression points at age 18.
But according to Mats Hallgren from Sweden, “Sitting for too long can slow the blood flow (流动) in the body, including the blood flow to the head.” It might be bad for the growth of neurons (神经细胞) in the head. Besides, couch potatoes might do other unhealthy things while sitting, such as eating junk food. All of these may lead to depression,
The good news It’s easy to control. Aaron Kandola from University College London, said even light exercise might help. “It is great to exercise and play sports,” said Aaron. But anything you can do to avoid sitting for too long will help with moods (心情), stress and thinking clearly. The key is just to move more often.

Tai Chi has always been a symbol of Chinese culture and is becoming popular around the world.
One thing that makes Tai Chi popular is its value in health. As you move, you breathe deeply and naturally, paying your attention to your body. This helps you relax and find peace in your mind. According to Harvard Health, Tai Chi is suitable for almost anyone, from healthy people to those who have disease. This is because its movements are never forced—the muscles (肌肉) are relaxed.
What makes Tai Chi even more interesting might be the philosophical (哲学的) ideas behind it. The word “Tai Chi” comes from Taoism (道家), which thinks that inaction, opposite to action, is the way to solve problems. That’s why Tai Chi movements are slow and soft. It is not used to fight an enemy, it is used to protect yourself. That doesn’t mean it is weak though. The secret of Tai Chi is to use softness to beat hardness.
When you think of Tai Chi, you might think of the famous yin-yang diagram. It shows how ancient Chinese people saw the world. The world is full of yin and yang: dark and light, soft and hard, male and female, life and death. But they do not absolutely opposite each other. After a dark night, the sun will rise. Leaves fall in autumn but grow in spring. Everything keeps changing-that’s how we should see the world.
Tai Chi also pays attention to the balance between yin and yang. For example, if you work too hard and feel tired, you have too much “yang”. So it’s time for you to calm down and get more “yin”. This idea of keeping a healthy balance can be used in almost everything in life. It makes Tai Chi far more than just a Chinese Kungfu.
64．Tai Chi almost suits anyone because ________.
A．it is a symbol of Chinese culture and philosophy B．it tells people how to breathe deeply and naturally
C．when people do Tai Chi, their muscles are relaxed D．it is popular around the world.
65．In Paragraph 3, what does the underlined word “inaction” mean in Chinese
A．无为 B．行动 C．治理 D．运动
66．Which might NOT be a pair of yin and yang according to the passage
A．father and son B．dark and light. C．soft and hard D．life and death
67．Which of the statements about Tai Chi is TRUE
A．When you play Tai Chi, you will feel relaxed and peaceful.
B．Tai Chi movements are slow and soft, so they can’t be used to beat hardness.
C．The idea of keeping a balance between yin and yang can’t be used in many things in life.
D．Tai Chi can’t pay attention to the balance between yin and yang.
68．Which of the following might be the best title for the article
A．Tai Chi, a suitable way only for healthy people B．Tai Chi, a way to exercise and a way to live
C．The history of an ancient Chinese sport, Tai Chi D．A new way to cure serious disease, Tai Chi
