Eight fitness exercises you can do at home
Walking
An effective walking workout at home will help to strengthen your legs, while getting some low impact aerobic exercise as well. If you don’t have any stairs available, just walk around the house a few times — it may not be very exciting, but it will do the job!
Jumping jacks
These are always fun, as they bring back memories of being a kid! Who hasn’t done jumping jacks for fun as a child Well, surprise — they are also great cardio exercises, and good for warming up, too.
Push-ups
These are probably not the most favorite exercise of many people, but while they can be hard to do, you can find easier ways to do them. You don’t need to pretend you’re “Rocky”, and do them with one hand: just do what works for you. Do them on your knees, instead of keeping your legs straight. Or, do them by standing up against a wall. You will build up arm strength and work out muscles in your chest area.
Leg lifts
These are great for building up strength and muscles in your legs. If you find it hard to do the exercises with your legs straight, try bending them slightly.
Crunches
It’s the best exercise for building up and strengthening belly muscles. When you’re just getting started, don’t worry about getting your head all the way up. So long as you’re going up until you feel the stretching of the muscles, you will see some benefit.
Jogging in place
Jogging is a great exercise for your heart. You can jog in place at home while watching TV or listening to music. The only equipment you will require is a good pair of shoes, to eliminate any stress to your legs.
Squats
These are wonderful exercises for your legs and bottoms. You can even just try these by sitting and standing up again from a regular chair, if you’re finding them to be too difficult. As long as you’re able to do a few repetitions, you will provide some benefit to your body.
Dancing
Dancing is a wonderful exercise, which is great for your heart. Not only that, but it can lift your spirits as well, and give your overall feeling a boost.

Unclear guidelines for when to keep a child at home if they are sick might play a part in the nationwide problem of students missing too much school.
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) is an organization (组织) for doctors who treat children. It suggests that children stay at home when there are signs of sickness like fever, or when students are not well enough to attend classes. But many schools go far beyond that, offering different signs of sickness that would stop parents from sending their children to school.
Trenace has a five-year-old daughter who was sick a lot last year. The mother followed school guidelines and kept her daughter home when she had a cough, painful throat, or fever. Near the end of the year, school officials called her in to talk about why her daughter had missed so much school. “In the past, if the child didn’t have a fever, then it’s okay to send them to school,” said the mother. “But now it’s like if they have a cough, you have to keep them home. Which is it ”
Children who missed school a lot found it more difficult to catch up. Missing 10 percent or more of the school year puts students at risk. Students who miss school also might miss meals, socializing with other students and teachers, physical exercise, and health care services.
Recently, the state of California decided to change their stay-at-home guideline for the autumn. The new guideline says children with low-level signs of sickness can come to school.
Noha Aboelata, who leads the Roots Health Centre in Oakland, California, said the change in guidance might make a big difference. She hoped that parents and schools will learn about the new guidance and that students will miss less school. “The most important place for our kids to be is school,” she said.
8. What’s the function of the first paragraph
A. To voice worries. B. To express thanks.
C. To offer a suggestion. D. To introduce the topic.
9. What can we infer about the health guidelines in each school
A. They were difficult to follow. B. They were well received.
C They troubled many parents. D. They put teachers at risk.
10. What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us about missing school
A. Its lasting value. B. Its bad influence.
C. Its background. D. Its common cause.
11. What does Noha Aboelata say about the new rule
A. It will play an active role. B. It will come to an end soon.
C. It will make no sense to kids. D. It will leave parents surprised.
D
There was a story many years ago of a school teacher--- Mrs. Thompson. She told the children on the first day that she loved them all the same. But that was a lie. There in the front row was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard. He didn’t play well with the other children and he always needed a bath. She did not like him.
Then Mrs. Thompson got to know that Teddy was actually a very good boy before the death of his mother. Mrs. Thompson was ashamed of herself. She felt even worse when, like all her other students, Teddy brought her a Christmas present too. It was his mother’s perfume (香水).
Teddy said, “Mrs. Thompson, today you smell just like my Mom used to.” After the children left she cried for at least an hour. On that very day, she stopped teaching reading, writing and math. Instead, she began to teach children.
Mrs. Thompson paid particular attention to Teddy. The boy’s mind seemed to come alive. The more she encouraged him, the faster he improved. By the end of the sixth grade, Teddy had become one of the smartest children in the class.

The story doesn’t end there. On his wedding day, Dr. Stoddard whispered in Mrs. Thompson’s ear, “Thank you, Mrs. Thompson, for believing in me. You made me feel important and showed me that I could make a difference.”
Mrs. Thompson, with tears in her eyes, whispered back, “Teddy, you have it all wrong. You were the one who taught me that I could make a difference. I didn’t know how to teach until I met you.”

And create a reliable schedule with timed activities that won’t take up too much time meant for study.

48. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Some of my earliest memories of music were the days when I played violin together with my grandpa, whose favorite song was “Big Eyed Rabbit”. “As long as you’ve got music, you’ve got good company,” my grandfather always said.
However, I didn’t have either in my life these days. Having left my hometown where my family and friends were, I was in an up-hill struggle to earn money from temporary jobs as I battled to get auditions(试听) for my acting career in New York. Trapped in self-doubt, I felt alone and abandoned.
“Would I ever find happiness again ” I thought while visiting the park near where I lived. Suddenly, I heard something unexpected—a sound that winded its way here. Somewhere nearby, an orchestra (管弦乐队) was practising. I followed the sounds to a red-roofed building. Inside, the musicians had started to practice, stopping and starting, trying again, laughing at some joke the conductor had made. I approached the director during a break to admire the music. “This is a community orchestra,” he said, “you’re welcome to join. All you need is an instrument.” If only I could afford to buy one! “I’ll keep that in mind,” I said to the director, and walked back home.
The next day the director told me they would have a music show at the city centre and invited me to go with them to get familiar with everything in the orchestra. I arrived early that day and decided to wander around. As I past a bookstore, a sign made me stop short: Schumacher Violin Maker. I stepped inside. Stringed instruments hung from the ceiling. At the very corner lay an old violin, which drew my attention. It reminded me of my grandfather’s. An older man in a brown coat sat at a worktable, looking carefully over the top of his glasses as he adjusted the bridge on a violin.
“It’s funny I noticed your shop today,” I said and told him my story.
“So, you need a violin,” he said when I’d finished, raising a bushy eyebrow.
“Do you happen to rent them ”
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右：

He shook his head. “But I do have something,” he said.

Unclear guidelines for when to keep a child at home if they are sick might play a part in the nationwide problem of students missing too much school.
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) is an organization (组织) for doctors who treat children. It suggests that children stay at home when there are signs of sickness like fever, or when students are not well enough to attend classes. But many schools go far beyond that, offering different signs of sickness that would stop parents from sending their children to school.
Trenace has a five-year-old daughter who was sick a lot last year. The mother followed school guidelines and kept her daughter home when she had a cough, painful throat, or fever. Near the end of the year, school officials called her in to talk about why her daughter had missed so much school. “In the past, if the child didn’t have a fever, then it’s okay to send them to school,” said the mother. “But now it’s like if they have a cough, you have to keep them home. Which is it ”
Children who missed school a lot found it more difficult to catch up. Missing 10 percent or more of the school year puts students at risk. Students who miss school also might miss meals, socializing with other students and teachers, physical exercise, and health care services.
Recently, the state of California decided to change their stay-at-home guideline for the autumn. The new guideline says children with low-level signs of sickness can come to school.
Noha Aboelata, who leads the Roots Health Centre in Oakland, California, said the change in guidance might make a big difference. She hoped that parents and schools will learn about the new guidance and that students will miss less school. “The most important place for our kids to be is school,” she said.
8. What’s the function of the first paragraph

C. To offer a suggestion. D. To introduce the topic.
9. What can we infer about the health guidelines in each school
A. They were difficult to follow. B. They were well received.

10. What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us about missing school
A. Its lasting value. B. Its bad influence.

48. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Some of my earliest memories of music were the days when I played violin together with my grandpa, whose favorite song was “Big Eyed Rabbit”. “As long as you’ve got music, you’ve got good company,” my grandfather always said.
However, I didn’t have either in my life these days. Having left my hometown where my family and friends were, I was in an up-hill struggle to earn money from temporary jobs as I battled to get auditions(试听) for my acting career in New York. Trapped in self-doubt, I felt alone and abandoned.
“Would I ever find happiness again ” I thought while visiting the park near where I lived. Suddenly, I heard something unexpected—a sound that winded its way here. Somewhere nearby, an orchestra (管弦乐队) was practising. I followed the sounds to a red-roofed building. Inside, the musicians had started to practice, stopping and starting, trying again, laughing at some joke the conductor had made. I approached the director during a break to admire the music. “This is a community orchestra,” he said, “you’re welcome to join. All you need is an instrument.” If only I could afford to buy one! “I’ll keep that in mind,” I said to the director, and walked back home.
The next day the director told me they would have a music show at the city centre and invited me to go with them to get familiar with everything in the orchestra. I arrived early that day and decided to wander around. As I past a bookstore, a sign made me stop short: Schumacher Violin Maker. I stepped inside. Stringed instruments hung from the ceiling. At the very corner lay an old violin, which drew my attention. It reminded me of my grandfather’s. An older man in a brown coat sat at a worktable, looking carefully over the top of his glasses as he adjusted the bridge on a violin.
“It’s funny I noticed your shop today,” I said and told him my story.
“So, you need a violin,” he said when I’d finished, raising a bushy eyebrow.
“Do you happen to rent them ”

【答案】
He shook his head. “But I do have something,” he said. He surveyed the rows of instruments and selected an old violin with a faded color. “Take it,” he said. “Go and make your music.” I stood there, surprised, as he handed it to me. Holding the violin, I felt like I’d just woken up from a dream. But it was real — as real as the strings I was touching. After saying thanks, my heart pounding with excitement, I headed for the park.
Standing in the city center with the musicians, I started to play the old violin. Playing the violin, I immediately felt at home. We had a wonderful performace. The crowd burst into thunderous applause. I made a ton of friends there. I had a sense of belonging, determined to attend the community orchestra very often. Music brought me good company, just as my grandfather had promised. I am full of gratitude to my grandfather and the owner of the bookstore.
