Question

【題目】 Some recent surveys show that the health problems of many office workers are rather serious. Death cases among them are increasing year by year because of overwork and spending little time taking rest or doing exercise.

If their offices are within the distance of half an hour's walk, some office workers now choose to go to work on foot. Ms. Wang, who became to work in a foreign company in Beijing 8 months ago, has been walking to her office for more than 6 months now. "I usually have a busy work schedule and can't find time to do exercise. So I choose to walk to work." As she said, if the office is not far from home, most women would like to go to work on foot. Walking is good for their health and can help them to keep in good shape as well.

Apart from walking to office, one can also find time to do exercise when one is at work. The simple way is to give up the lift and climb stairs. Mr. Yang who works in the Passenger Service Department at Beijing Airlines, is one of such men who often climb stairs to his office. "I only use the lift whenever I am with my colleagues or my boss. Otherwise, I would climb stairs instead of taking the lift."

In addition, some office workers try to find time to go to gym at the end of a day. Ms. Sunny works in a law firm. She goes to the gym several times a week when she has the time." I go to the gym every weekend. During the weekdays, I will also go there whenever I have the time." Ms Sunny and her husband both have a gym membership card for a whole year. The cards cost them a lot of money. However, they think it is worth it.
