WeRun(微信运动) is an app in WeChat. It lets users see their daily step counts. One of its most popular things is a leaderboard(排行榜) among friends. Users can see how their results are compared (比较) with others.
As a growing number of people use WeRun, we wonder what we can learn about a person just from knowing his step counts. Here we take a closer look:
Fewer than 50 steps: Anyone who takes fewer than 50 steps in one day may be ill or sad. Or maybe he or she is just too lazy to get out of the bed!
50-500 steps: It's easy to have a few hundred steps. Even going shopping on foot will be enough.
501-8,000 steps: Most students and workers will take between 501 and 8,000 steps a day. These step counts are often in the middle of the leaderboard. But your parents will always give your step counts a thumbs-up (It's their job to care about you!).
8,001-30,000 steps: Salespeople and members of film workers are likely to take these many steps a day, as they are always on the move.
More than 30,000 steps: Mostly, these step counts can be on the top of the leaderboard. They're postmen, porters, cleaners and so on. They're the people who help us live easy and comfortable lives and keep our environment nice and clean.
Nowadays, more and more people use WeRun, from the young to the old. To some degree(在某种程度上) , a person's WeRun data (数据) can show his or her character and personal life.

【3】What does the underlined word thumbs-up in the 5th paragraph mean?
A.点赞 B.转发 C.收藏 D.评论
【4】What can we learn from the passage?
A.More and more people start to use WeRun.
