考点规范练12（Theme C）

Ⅰ.阅读理解

A

We get it:You’re tired.You’re busy.And your shoes are way over there.Excuses are OK sometimes,but not every day—and especially not today.So put on your sneakers,get up off the couch,and let us kick your excuses to the curb(路牙子).

“I...dislike...panting(气喘)!”

Being really out of breath may mean you’re trying too much too soon,which will kill your confidence.But you don’t have to be huffing and puffing to get a workout.Active doesn’t have to mean high-intensity(高强度).It’s just about moving.

“Ihateexercise.”

It may seem unbearable,but you just have to get started.Exercise releases endorphins (your brain’s own feel-good chemicals),which can be

habit-forming.What’s the best exercise?The one you’ll do regularly.So you may hate running.Don’t run!Ride your bike or just dance.Even cleaning your room is active.As long as you’re moving and getting your blood pumping,it counts.So get creative.

“Idon’thavetime.”

You may not have lots of time to spare when you’re busy with schoolwork,but we bet you can find 10 minutes.Bonus:An activity break will send oxygen to your brain,making you super-alert(超级警觉的) and more creative too.Famous thinkers like Aristotle and Steve Jobs liked “walking meetings,”and you can follow in their footsteps by moving around while you brainstorm about a tough task or memorize your English vocabulary.

“Ineverseeresults!”

Even if you train with the help of a professional,you won’t see results right away.But you will feel them almost immediately.Don’t focus on how your body looks—focus on how you feel.Keep a journal of when you exercise(or don’t) and how you feel that day:Stressed?Focused?Tired?When you start noticing the amazing effects of exercise,you’ll have no excuses.

B

I always pictured myself graduating from college,getting a cool job and even having a cute little place of my own.So far,I have a master’s degree and the coolest job ever as a physician assistant.But instead of waking up in a pretty apartment,I hear the early-morning sound of my parents making coffee downstairs.

At 27,I still live with my parents,and I love it.

My decision to live at home was not one of absolute necessity.As a physician assistant,I make a good salary and would be able to live on my own comfortably if I needed to do so.By the time I finished graduate school,I had had a $150,000 debt from both undergraduate and graduate education.With several of these loans earning a 7.9% interest rate,my father calculated that my loans were increasing by $15 a day in interest alone.At this rate,it would take me 30 years to pay off my student loans,with much of the payment going straight to interest.At last,I decided to live with my parents.

Beyond the endless supply of home-cooked meals,the best thing about moving back home is that I am not alone.Several of my physician assistant friends are in the same boat as I am—we are all highly educated,white-collar employees who live at home.Our co-workers in the medical field think it is a great idea because many of them are facing the same piles of debt.They often say if they could do it all again,they would do the same thing.
