How to keep fit
Running will help you lose weight faster than any other activity. It also strengthens (加强)
your heart, lungs, and leg muscles (肌肉). But it can hurt your joints (关节).
第4页/共10页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司If you feel ache in your knees (膝盖), you need to stop and choose a different activity.
Walking puts less stress (压力) on the body than running. But you need to get your heart beating
faster to see results. This means you’ll need to walk fast. Walking can also help you lose
weight.
Swimming is a great way to strengthen different parts of your body. But it is not a good way
to lose weight. The water in a swimming pool is cooler than our body temperature. The body
naturally protects itself from the cold by keeping fat.
Riding a bicycle (cycling) will help you lose weight and work leg muscles. But be careful! If
you live in the city, you should stay on bike path and away from traffic.

Once upon a time a king dressed up and went to a local village. He placed a large stone in the middle of
the main road and hid (藏) gold coins under the stone. Then he hid behind a huge tree and watched.
The first person down the street was a milkman with his cart (小车). He crashed into the stone and the milk
spread all over the ground. “What fool put this stone here?” he shouted. He picked himself up and angrily went
away.
After a while, a group of women came along, each balancing a pot of water on her head. One woman
tripped over (绊倒) the stone and her water pot went crashing to the ground. She picked herself up and walked
away in tears. Neither she nor her friends thought about moving the stone out of the road.
The king watched all day as many people complained about the stone, but he found nobody was willing to
move it. The king wondered, “Is there no one in this village who feels any responsibility to keep their
neighbors from harm?”
Just then, the king saw a young girl coming along. She was the daughter of a local farmer. She had been

学科网（北京）股份有限公司working all day and was very tired. But when she saw the stone, she said to herself. “This stone is a danger to
anyone who comes down the road after dark. I’ll move it out of the way.”
After a great deal of effort, the girl finally succeeded in moving the stone to the side of the road. Imagine
her surprise when she saw the gold coins where the stone had been!
Just then, the king stepped out from behind the tree. “Oh sir,” the girl said, “Is this gold yours? If not, we
surely must find the owner, for he will certainly miss it.”
The king said, “My dear, the gold is mine, but now the gold is yours, because you are the only person who
has learnt the lesson I want to teach my people. Nothing good can come to a nation whose people only complain
and expect others to solve their problems.”

A myth is something that is not correct, but many people believe. There are a lot of myths about the human
brain.
One of the biggest myths is that we only use 10 percent of our brains. The next part of the myth is that if we
can learn to use the rest of our brains, then we'll be much smarter. People say this all the time, but it's absolutely not
true! The truth is that although we don't know everything about the human brain, we know that each part of it has
an important function (功能) . Modern scientists think the "10 percent myth" ridiculous (荒谬的) .
The other most popular myth is about being "right brained" or "left brained". According to this myth, people
who use the right side of their brains are more artistic and creative. People who use the left side of their brains are
better at math and science. This is as popular as the 10 percent myth, and it's also wrong. In 2013, a study at an
第6页/共10页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司American university examined the right brain and left brain myth. According to the study, we use both sides of our
brains equally (相等地). "
It's true that we use different parts of our brains for different things. We use our left side for language more,
and our right side when we need to pay attention. But there is no evidence (证据) that creative people use the right
side more or that scientific people use the left side more.
We've talked about myths, so let's look at a few interesting facts about the brain. First of all, the brain feels no
pain. Second, about 75 percent of the brain is made of water. It's also the fattest organ in your body. Here's another
interesting fact about the brain. Around the time you turn 18 years old, it stops growing.
28. The underlined word "This" 1fParagraph 3 refers to ______________.
A. the left brain myth B. the right brain and left brain myth
C. the use of human brains D. the study of an American university
29. According to the facts mentioned in the passage, _________ may use the left brain more.
A. Robert, who is learning English B. Kate, who is drawing pictures
C. Jenny, who is designing clothes D. Jacob, who is doing research
.
30 Which of the following is TRUE about the human brain?
A. It is growing all life long. B. The right side is used more by artists.
C. Some parts of it are not used at all. D. Three quarters of it is made of water.
31. The passage mainly tells about _________________.
A. the growing of the brain B. different functions of the brain
.
C right brain and left brain D. myths and facts about the brain
