01 · 原题全文

Recently, I started to use an app to keep a record of my running. Each run I wanted to go a little farther, run a little faster and burn more calories (卡路里). Last night I finished an 8.3-km run in 46 minutes and burnt 468 calories. In comparison, my run two days ago was 8.6 km in 46 minutes with 483 calories burnt. This inner self-comparison left me feeling disappointed. I became so focused on the numbers that I forgot to consider what I achieved.

These tiny differences in numbers kept me away from the bigger picture: how did I actually feel after completing my most recent run? Well, honestly, I was completely tired out. What good is running to beat your top score if you don't feel on top?

We should exercise for the purpose of building our confidence. And working out harder and faster may serve that purpose. But confidence building comes with being able to do more in our day-to-day life, experiencing less pain and more freedom in movement, and feeling good after a workout. Fitness should help us with our quality (质量) of life, the ability to sleep, good memory, among other things. Fitness should not just come with the eagerness for the success in numbers.

In our busy lives, we only have limited time for fitness. When we do physical exercise, we should value what feels good over what looks or sounds good. Sometimes what serves us and our health is coming home and doing a light workout, like going on a short bike ride. Sometimes what serves us is simply going to sleep at 9:30 p.m. instead of forcing ourselves into a workout. Apps of this kind are a great way for us to keep an eye on our health. But don't read into the numbers to the point where you lose out on feeling proud that you are taking care of yourself. So my advice is: when you do physical exercise, make sure you feel good about yourself over feeling good about the numbers.

34. Why did the writer start to use the app?参考答案：To keep a record of his running.

35. What did the writer forget to consider when he became too focused on the numbers?参考答案：He forgot to consider what he achieved.

36. According to the writer, what should be our purpose of doing exercise?参考答案：Building our confidence.

37. When you do physical exercise, which do you think is more important, feeling good about yourself or feeling good about the numbers? Why? (Please give two reasons.) [4 分开放题]

怎么快速做对这篇文章

策略 ① · 反向定位法（题号 → 段落）

4 道题在原文的位置几乎按顺序排列：34 题 → 第 1 段第 1 句；35 题 → 第 1 段末句；36 题 → 第 3 段第 1 句；37 题 → 末段升华句。看到题先想该去哪一段找，不要从头读全文找答案——浪费时间。这是阅读表达拿高分的第一原则。

策略 ② · 句子转换三招

第一招：原文 "I started to use an app" → 答案改写为 "To keep a record of his running"（动机题用 to do 不定式）。第二招：原文 "I forgot to consider what I achieved" → 答案改写为 "He forgot to consider what he achieved"（人称从第一人称变第三人称）。第三招：原文 "exercise for the purpose of building our confidence" → 答案 "Building our confidence"（直接抽出关键名词短语）。3 道事实题答案 90% 直接来自原文，只需小幅改写。

策略 ③ · 4 分开放题用"表态 + 两条理由"模板

37 题问"自己感觉重要还是数字重要"。答题模板：表态句 + Firstly + 理由1 + Secondly + 理由2。两条理由直接从原文 "扒"——比如"feeling good builds confidence"、"numbers can make us anxious and disappointed"、"fitness should help our quality of life"。不需要原创，只需准确改写 2 句原文论点。

三个核心观点（英文）

① Becoming too focused on the numbers makes us forget what we actually achieved.

原文锚点：第 1 段。对应 35 题——他忘了考虑实际完成了什么。

② The purpose of exercise is to build confidence and improve quality of life.

原文锚点：第 3 段第 1 句。对应 36 题——锻炼的目的是建立自信。

③ Value feeling good about yourself over feeling good about the numbers.

原文锚点：末段结尾。对应 37 题——表态作文核心论点。

做对全文的 4 个关键点

① "I started to use an app to keep a record of my running" · 34 题锚点

第 1 段第 1 句就是 34 题答案的位置。"to keep a record of my running"（为了记录跑步）就是答案。直接把"my"改成"his"就是参考答案 "To keep a record of his running"。

② "I forgot to consider what I achieved" · 35 题锚点

第 1 段末句直接给出答案。把"I"改成"He"——"He forgot to consider what he achieved"。事实题最快的方法：找到锚点句 + 改人称 + 完成。

③ "exercise for the purpose of building our confidence" · 36 题锚点

第 3 段第 1 句给出全文论点。"the purpose"（目的）正是题干 "what should be our purpose" 的对应词。答案抽出关键名词短语 "Building our confidence"。看到题干里有名词，到原文找对应名词，然后抽出来。

④ "feel good about yourself over feeling good about the numbers" · 37 题模板

37 题表态作文站作者的立场（自己感觉好更重要）。4 分答题模板：I think feeling good about yourself is more important. Firstly, becoming too focused on numbers makes us disappointed and tired. Secondly, the real purpose of exercise is to build confidence and improve our quality of life, not just to chase numbers.（写满 35-50 词即可拿满分）
