But some kinds of exercise may be better than others. Running, for example, may help to protect against heart disease and other health problems. Running may also help you live longer.Recently, researchers studied more than 55, 000 adults. About a quarter of the adults have a good habit of running. The study found these runners were much healthier than non-runners. In fact, the runners lived, on average（平均）, three years longer than the non-runners.Running may be good exercise, but it can be difficult on the body. Here are commonly shared ideas among fitness experts（健身专家） to lower the risk of injury（受伤） for people who are new to running.Take it easy.Do not run too much, too soon or too fast. Most people get running injuries when they push themselves too hard. The body needs time to get used to increases in distance（里程） or speed. Get good running shoes.There is no single best shoe for every runner. You should find the shoe that offers the best fit and support for your feet. More importantly, you should have a new pair of shoes every 500 to 800 kilometers.Take good notes.Take time after each run to write down notes about what you did and how you felt. Look for things that happen again and again. For example, you may find that your knees hurt when you run sometimes. But perhaps you feel great when you have a rest between running days. These notes will help you make the best plan for running.（1）The writer wants to tell us in the first paragraph _.A . good health comes from runningB . running is the best exerciseC . health problem can be solved by good exerciseD . not all exercise is equally （同样的） good（2）In the second paragraph, we know _.A . a good habit of running may help you live longerB . the number of non-runners was getting smallerC . three quarters of 55,000 adults were new to runningD . the hope to live three years longer drives people to exercise（3）The purpose of taking notes is to _.A . remind you of where to have new shoesB . help you find the way of running that fits youC . take a rest between running daysD . help you do some research on exercise（4）The passage is written to _.A . provide information for the researchers to work betterB . warn the non-runners of the dangers in runningC . help runners to exercise in a scientific wayD . encourage as many people as possible to join in running16. （8分）阅读理解Every year in early April, thousands of people in China visit the tombs(墓) of their parents, grandparents and ancestors.

However, the same body language may mean different things in different countries. (A)sometimes, thats, understand, correctly, why, dont, each other, people. Pointing to one part of the body can mean differently in different cultures. For example, in the USA people point to their heads when they think someone is clever. However, in Europe it means “He or she is stupid or something is wrong with his or her head”. In our Chinese culture, nodding our head up and down means “yes” and shaking our head from side to side means “no”. However, in parts of India, Greece and Turkey, it means just the opposite. In England or the USA, when you raise your hand and make a circle with the thumb and the second finger, it means “Youre all right or everything is OK”. However, if we do this in France or Belgium, it means “Youre worth zero”. In Greece or Turkey, we should not make this gesture. Or we are thought to be very rude.The meaning of gestures can also change over time. In the 1960s, the “V” sign meant “peace”. However, during World War , it meant “victory”.(B)Though the meaning of body language is different, there are some expressions having the same meaning throughout the world, such as smiling and crying.（1）将文中(A)处划线部分的单词连词成句。_（2）In England, if people point to their heads it means they think someone is _. （3）In India, if one nods his head up and down, it means he _. （4）What did the “V” sign mean during World War ?_（5）将文中(B)处划线部分的句子译成汉语。_六、 完成句子。根据所给提示，完成句子。每空一词，含缩略词。 (共5题；共5分)19. （1分）Jeff played tennis with his classmates yesterday.
