They were there all the time: early morning, noon, and evenings. There were little old ladies in gray sweats, young couples in Adidas shoes, middle-aged men with red faces. “e on!” My friend Alex encouraged me to join him as he jogged by my house every evening. “Youll feel great.”Well, I had nothing against feeling great and if Alex could jog every day, anyone could. So I took up jogging seriously and gave it a good two months of my life, and not a day more. Based on my experience, jogging is the most overvalued form of exercise around, and judging from the number of the people who left our neighborhood jogging army, Im not alone in my opinion.First of all, jogging is very hard on the body. Your legs and feet take a real pounding（追击）running down a road for two or three miles. I developed foot, leg, and back problems. Then I read about a nationally famous jogger who died of a heart attack while jogging, and I had something else to worry about. Jogging doesnt kill hundreds of people, but if you have any physical weaknesses, jogging will surely bring them out, as they did with me.Secondly, I got no enjoyment out of jogging. Putting one foot in front of the other for forty-five minutes isnt my idea of fun. Jogging is also a lonely pastime. Some joggers say, “I love being out there with just my thoughts. ” Well, my thoughts began to bore me, and most of them were on how much my legs hurt.And how could I enjoy something that brought me pain? And that wasnt just the first week; it was practically every day for two months. I never got past the pain level, and pain isnt fun. What a cruel way to do it! So many other exercises, including walking, lead to almost the same results painlessly, so why jog?I dont jog any more, and I dont think I ever will. Im walking two miles three times a week at a fast pace, and that feels good. I bicycle to work when the weather is good. Im getting exercise, and Im enjoying it at the same time. I could never say the same for jogging, and Ive found a lot of better ways to stay in shape.1. From the first paragraph, we learn that in the writers neighborhood _.A. people jogged only during the daytime B. jogging provided a chance to get togetherC. jogging became very popular D. Alex organized an army of joggers2. The underlined word “them”(Paragraph 3) most probably refers to _.A. physical weaknesses B. heart attack C. back problems D. famous joggers3. What was the writers attitude towards jogging in the beginning?A. He was very fond of it. B. He felt it was worth a try. C. He was strongly against it. D. He thought it must be painful. 【参考答案】15、CABCD 完形填空。All throughout life we deal with some types of disappointment，whether they are from our job, family or friends. Disappointment is _1_.
