Running is the best way to get fit.
There’s no best method to get fit. You have to enjoy your exercise or you will find reasons to quit. Nobody can get fit or lose weight or build a muscle in an instant. Fitness requires time and patience, and you get rewards as you go along. If you are looking only at running or at instant success, you are looking for trouble!
If you don’t exercise an hour a day, six days a week, you do nothing.
Don’t believe in this all-or-nothing way. Even if you exercise as little as three times a week for half an hour you will benefit from it. However, if you want to get fit for sport, you may have to work out five to six days a week.
Warming up before working out isn’t necessary if you’re careful.
Warming up is a must before you exercise. Warming up and stretching not only help you avoid injuries but also prepare your heart and body to accept the shock of an increased workload.
No pain, no gain.
Pain means that the body is showing that there is something wrong. If you feel painful when exercising, either slow down or stop the exercise. To gain from exercise, you may have to make do with a bit of discomfort, but pain is different. If you continue exercising with pain you may damage a muscle or tendon forever.
Taping (用绷带包扎) an injury prevents further damage.
If you are injured and you tape it for support, chances are that you will aggravate the injury further. What’s more, you may injure other joints because of the limited flexibility (灵活性) that the taped knee or ankle allows.
【1】The underlined sentence in the text may suggest _____________.
A.getting fit quickly may cause trouble for you
B.you will be in trouble if running
C.you can’t expect to get fit at once
D.running can make you get fit immediately
【2】According to the text, you should _________ to take exercise.
A.take sports five to six days a week

I was never very neat, while my roommate Kate was extremely organized. Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled (贴标签) everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.
War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.
The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled under her covers, sobbing. Obviously, that was something she should not go through phone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.
Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn’t notice Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me, “Thanks.”
Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year. We didn’t always agree, but we learned the key to living together: giving in, cleaning up and holding on.

Do you still remember your favorite poem during high school or some other important periods in your life? Why is it that decades later it still stands out in your mind? Probably the main reason is that some aspect of that poem resonates (产生共鸣) with you. In the same way, you too as a school leader can touch the hearts of your teachers and students.
Poetry allows us to experience strong spiritual connections to things around us and to the past. The power that poetry has displayed over time and across cultures actually satisfies this common need of the human heart and soul.
As one of the oldest art forms, poetry has successfully connected various parts of humanity (人性) from one generation to another. Referring to poetry, Hillyer makes a simple yet meaningful statement,“ With this key mankind unlocked his heart.”
School leaders can find and make use of the value of poetry for themselves, their students and their teachers. Beyond the simple use of poetry, techniques of poetry such as repetitions (重复) can be used to take advantage of the power of language to transform communication, create meaning and culture of care and attention.
Since schools are mainly about people and relationships, school leaders, like poets, are required to inspire and encourage the human heart. The use of poetry — or even of some techniques of poetry — in school leadership not only helps to improve communication, but also serves to meet the human need for inspiration.
【1】Who is the passage mainly written for?
A.Students. B.Teachers.
C.School leaders. D.Poets.
【2】The use of poetry or techniques of poetry in school leadership is in fact to make use of ______ .
A.the power of language
B.the power of school leaders
C.people’s preference for poetry
D.people’s desire for communication
【3】What is the purpose of the passage?
A.To talk about the art of being a school leader.
B.To encourage school leaders to use the power of poetry in school leadership.
C.To explain how poetry can be used in our daily life.
D.To show readers that poetry is really powerful.

阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
Ruby, a 16-year-old girl in Chicago No. 1 High School, always looked up to her cousin Wanda, who was two years older than her and was studying in a university. Ruby was the only child in her family, so she regarded Wanda as her “immediate” sister. Wanda was not only beautiful, but also smart. She always had straight A's in the exams and she could play several kinds of musical instruments, especially the piano. Therefore, she was very popular in her school and she had a lot of friends. In Ruby's eyes, Wanda was a perfect girl so she considered Wanda as her example. Ruby was still in high school but she wanted to go to the same university as Wanda did. Ruby was even in the same clubs in high school as Wanda used to be.
Wanda knew that Ruby looked up to her and she appreciated that. On Ruby's birthday, Wanda sent Ruby a sweater with her university's logo on it as a gift. Ruby was so happy when she got the sweater. She put it on immediately and wore it almost every day.
One day in class, Ruby raised her hand to answer the teacher’s question and the teacher, who had ever been Wanda’s head teacher, accidentally called her Wanda. “Oh, I’m sorry, but you just look a little like her,” the teacher said. “I'm so flattered(感到荣幸的),” Ruby said. From that day on, Ruby studied harder and harder because Wanda did well in all her subjects. Ruby just wanted to catch up with her.
When college admission results came out, Ruby was so nervous and anxious to visit the website to see if she got admitted. She closed her eyes and slowly opened them. She found out that she got accepted!
