Traditional Chinese Sports
For thousands of years, sports have played an important role in Chinese culture.Let's explore some of the most popular traditional sports in China.
Dragon Boat Racing
Originating (起源) from the southern regions of China, Dragon Boat Racing is a thrilling water sport.The races are held during the Dragon Boat Festival, which takes place on the 5th day of the 5th lunar (阴历) month each year.This festival is in memory of the ancient poet Qu Yuan and involves various cultural activities.
Martial Arts
Martial arts (武术) have a rich history in China and are practiced for self-defense, physical fitness, and spiritual growth.Various styles such as tai chi, kung fu, and wing chun have gained worldwide recognition.These practices emphasize discipline, balance, and control of mind and body.
Jianzi (Shuttlecock)
Jianzi is a traditional Chinese game that involves kicking a shuttlecock (毽子) in the air using one's feet, knees, or other body parts except for hands.It requires agility, coordination, and precision.Jianzi can be played individually or in teams and is a popular pastime in parks and streets across China.
Chinese Chess (Xiangqi)
Similar to the Western game of chess, Xiangqi is a strategic board game played between two players.It originated in ancient China and is often referred to as “Chinese chess.” The game features different pieces, each with unique movements and abilities.Xiangqi requires critical thinking, foresight, and strategic planning.

No matter how many steps you take each day, your health benefits add up.But those who take 7,000 steps a day may be adding years to their lives.
New research found that middle-aged adults who took that many steps daily were up to 70 percent less likely to die at a younger-than-expected age than those whose movement total fewer than 7,000 steps a day.
The study, which involved 2,110 middle-aged adults who wore a step-counting device and then were tracked for nearly 11 years, was published in the journal JAMA Network Open.How fast participants walked (referred to as their step intensity) did not affect their mortality risk.Rather, those who walked more lived longer.The researchers found, however, that taking more than 10,000 steps a day — the number often cited as a daily goal for health — produced no further drop in mortality risk.
Physical activity like walking is considered one of the most important things people can do to improve their well-being, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.A former CDC director described physical activity as the closest thing we have to a wonder drug.Among its benefits, walking can reduce risk for high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes and depression and it can help control weight and improve sleep.It is considered good for your bones, muscles, heart and brain.
Although walking is considered safe for most people, those who have any concerns should check with their doctor before launching any new physical activity routine.For adults generally, national guidelines focus on time spent on an activity rather than number of steps, recommending 150 minutes a week of moderate-intensity activity, such as walking.

4．From which column of a newspaper can we probably see the text
A．Style. B．Opinion.
C．Sports. D．Health and Science.
解析：推理判断题。根据第一段“No matter how ...their lives.”并结合全文可知，本文主要在讲解与健康有关的主题，并且科学研究说明每天走7 000步的人可能会延长寿命，所以我们能从报纸的“健康与科学”栏目中看到本文。
√
5．What does the underlined phrase “their mortality risk” refer to
A．What health benefits they got.
B．Whether physical activities worked for them.
C．How long they could live.
D．Their chance to suffer from health problems.
√
解析：词义猜测题。根据第二段中“New research found ...a day.”以及“How fast participants ...lived longer.”可知，走得快并不能降低早死的可能性，也就是说走得快不影响得到健康的好处，所以“their mortality risk”指的是得到的健康好处。
6．What can we learn from the text
A．The research spanned through the whole life of 2,110 middle-aged adults.
B．Walking speed matters as much as how many steps one has taken.
C．Walking more than 10,000 steps a day brings similar health benefits as 7,000.
D．National guidelines offer the adults the recommendation on number of steps.
√
解析：细节理解题。由第二段中最后一句“The researchers found ...risk.”可知，每天步行超过1万步所带来的健康益处与每天步行7 000步所带来的益处相似。
7．Which of the following is the appropriate headline for this text
A．How to Extend Your Lifespan
B．7,000 Steps Lengthen Your Life
C．Benefits of Physical Activities
D．Walking and Its Restrictions
√
解析：标题归纳题。根据第一段“No matter ...their lives.”以及第二段“New research ...a day.”和第三段中“Physical activity ... Prevention.”可知，本文主要讲步行的好处，以及每天走7 000步可以延长寿命，所以B项是本文最好的标题。

The Importance of Getting Kids to Be Active
Everyone knows that kids should be physically active and need to exercise regularly to be physically fit. 8 ， regular physical activity is considered by most experts to be an important part of a healthy lifestyle.However, that doesn't mean every child needs to spend four or five hours a day exercising.
How Much Exercise Do Kids Need
It is recommended that kids should be physically active for at least 60 minutes per day. 9 .For example, if your eight-year-old played soccer for 20 minutes during PE at school and then played basketball with his friends for 40 minutes after school, he would meet the recommendation of 60 minutes of physical activity for that day.
Exercise and Calories
10 .It can help them build self-respect, sleep better, have more energy, and reduce depression.And as most people know, along with a healthy diet, regular exercise is the best way to lose weight and prevent childhood obesity.Since your child is not likely to get his exercise using exercise equipment, it can be hard to always tell how many calories he is burning while exercising. 11 ， as long as your child is getting his 60 minutes or more of physical activity each day and maintaining a healthy diet.
Youth Exercise and Fitness
Remember that kids, even teens, don't usually stick with exercise programs. 12 .Instead, kids do better with lifestyle exercise programs, such as active free play and organized team sports.
A．Fortunately, it doesn't matter
B．Regular exercise is good for kids
C．So they will be able to burn even more calories
D．That's why you don't see many kids in health clubs
E．Whether they are overweight or at a healthy weight
F．If your child is very active and is still gaining weight
G．But that doesn't have to be 60 minutes of continuous activity
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了让孩子进行体育锻炼的重要性，并给出一些建议。
8．选E 上文“Everyone knows ...fit.”讲述人们都知道让孩子积极锻炼身体的好处，下文“regular physical ...lifestyle”还是讲述体育锻炼是重要的；分析句子可知，空格处应是从句，从E、F项中选，比较可知，E项符合语境，引导让步状语从句，强调体育锻炼的重要性。
9．选G 上文“It is recommended ...per day.”表明建议锻炼时长为60分钟，再结合下文“For example, ...that day.”可知，60分钟的锻炼可以不是连续的，因此推断G项符合语境。
10．选B 根据下文“It can help ...obesity.”讲述了定期锻炼对孩子们的好处，因此推断B项符合语境。
11．选A 上文“Since your child ...exercising.”讲述了判断孩子锻炼燃烧了多少卡路里是困难的，下文“as long as your child ...diet”说明只要锻炼就有好处，因此推断不能判断燃烧多少卡路里不重要，因此推断A项符合语境。
12．选D 上文“Remember that kids ...programs.”讲述孩子们很难坚持锻炼计划，下文“Instead ...sports.”说明孩子进行日常活动锻炼更好，由Instead可知，空处与下文相反，因此推断D项符合语境，与上文是因果关系，“in health clubs”与下文的“active ...sports”相对应。UNIT 3 课时检测(二) “Reading and Thinking”的课文习读环节

No matter how many steps you take each day, your health benefits add up.But those who take 7,000 steps a day may be adding years to their lives.
New research found that middle aged adults who took that many steps daily were up to 70 percent less likely to die at a younger than expected age than those whose movement total fewer than 7,000 steps a day.The study, which involved 2,110 middle aged adults who wore a step counting device and then were tracked for nearly 11 years, was published in the journal JAMA Network Open.How fast participants walked (referred to as their step intensity) did not affect their_mortality_risk.Rather, those who walked more lived longer.The researchers found, however, that taking more than 10,000 steps a day — the number often cited as a daily goal for health — produced no further drop in mortality risk.
Physical activity like walking is considered one of the most important things people can do to improve their well being, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.A former CDC director described physical activity as the closest thing we have to a wonder drug.Among its benefits, walking can reduce risk for high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes and depression and it can help control weight and improve sleep.It is considered good for your bones, muscles, heart and brain.Although walking is considered safe for most people, those who have any concerns should check with their doctor before launching any new physical activity routine.For adults generally, national guidelines focus on time spent on an activity rather than number of steps, recommending 150 minutes a week of moderate intensity activity, such as walking.

B．Walking speed matters as much as how many steps one has taken.
C．Walking more than 10,000 steps a day brings similar health benefits as 7,000.
