Gym members did six hours more exercise a week, and this activity did make them fitter than non－gym members. They also spent less time sitting down every

42、day than non－gym members. The results were the same for men and women. The study included 405 people between the ages of 30 and 64, and the main characteristics of those who were gym members were the same as those who were not. “But gym members did more training than non－gym members，” said the lead

43、 author, Elizabeth Schroeder of the University of Illinois.

This study shows a gym membership can make you do more exercise, but other research shows that exercising ou

45、tside has other help. Outdoor activity can make you feel happy about life—especially if you run through a forest. Outdoor exercise is also more interesting than going to the gym. The first five minutes of outdoor exercise is especially helpful in making people feel good. But Schroeder says that a g

A．30 gym members and 64 non－gym members

48、 B．people from different age group C．some sports lovers D．405 people who exercise outdoors 答案：B　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中的 “The study included 405 people between the ages of 30 and 64 and the main characteristics of those who were gym members were the same as those who were not.”可知，該研究包括405名年齡在30歲至64歲之間的人，從而可

52、樂趣，由此推測出 Elizabeth Schroeder會同意這樣的觀點“如果你去健身房，會更容易保持鍛煉”。故選D。 1．characteristics n. 特點；特征 2．directly adv. 直接地 1．a(chǎn)ccording to 根據(jù)，按照 2．belong to 屬于 Ⅲ　語法填空 Every boy and every girl expects their parents __1__ (give) them more pocket money.
