       Most fitness advice is aimed at a general audience. But if you’re an older adult, the International Council on Active Aging (ICAA) has some tips for seniors to get started and keep them at the top of their game.

    72    Talk with your doctor about getting permission to begin a fitness program and making any changes to suit your situation.

    73     Before starting, pick a program you’ll enjoy, so you’ll do it regularly. Check out the facility and the staff. Is the place friendly? Can you change clothes comfortably? Are facilities easily accessed?

Determine your participation style. Choose what’s best for you — a class or going solo? Morning or night hours?    74   

Start slowly. Most people are overeager and sometimes overdo it. Record a baseline of your regular activities and determine a reasonable plan.

Make a date. Find a friend to exercise with you and keep you motivated.

Set specific short-term and long-term goals. Plan for activity in your day and make it a priority.

Remind yourself what your goals are. If it hurts, don’t do it.    75    And once you’ve reached your goal, treat yourself for the good job you’ve done, so it will encourage you to continue.

A.      Make a list.

B.      Exercise Tips for Seniors to Start a Healthy Game

C.      Know your choice.

D.     Learn to work around pain, not through it.

E.      Indoor or outside exercise?

F.      All the Seniors Should Be Careful Before Exercise

G.     Get a thorough examination.

    Fourteen – year – old Richie Hawley had spent five years studying violin at the Community School of Performing Arts in Los Angeles when he took part in a violin contest. Ninety two young people were invited to the contest and Hawley came out first．

　　The contest could have been the perfect setup for fear, worrying about mistakes, and trying to impress the judges. But Hawley says he did pretty well in staying calm. “I couldn’t be thinking about how many mistakes I’d make — it would distract me from playing,” he says. “I didn’t even remember trying to impress people while I played. It’s almost as if they weren’t there. I just wanted to make music.”

Hawley is a winner. But he didn’t become a winner by concentrating on winning. He did it by concentrating on playing well．

　　“The important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part,” said the founder of the modern Olympics, Pierre de Coubertin. “The important thing in life is not the triumph (勝利) but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well.”

　　A characteristic of high performers is their intense, pleasurable concentration on work, rather than on their competitors or future glory or money, says Dr. Charles Garfield, who has studied 1,500 achievers in business, science, sports, the arts, and professions. “They are interested in winning, but they are most interested in self - development, testing their limits.”

　　One of the most surprising things about top performers is how many losses they’ve had and how much they’ve learned from each. “Not one of the 1,500 I studied defined losing as failing,” Garfield says. “They kept calling their losses ‘setbacks’.”

　　A healthy attitude toward setbacks is essential to winning, experts agree．

　　“The worst thing you can do if you’ve had a setback is to let yourself get stuck in a long depression. You should analyze carefully what went wrong, identify specific things you did right and give yourself credit for them.” Garfield believes that most people don’t give themselves enough praise. He even suggests keeping a diary of all the positive things you’ve done on the way to a goal．

68. Hawley won the contest because ________．

A. he put all his mind to his performance

B. he cared much about the judges’ feelings

C. he tried his best to avoid making mistakes

D. he paid close attention to the people around

69. According to the passage, successful people concentrate on ________．

A. challenging their own limits                           B. learning from others

C. defeating their opponents                       D. avoiding setbacks

70. The passage tells us that “praise” in times of trouble ________．

A. helps people deal with their disappointment

B. makes people forget their setbacks

C. makes people regret about their past

D. helps people analyze what went wrong

Riding a London subway, a person from other countries will notice one major difference: in London, people do not look at each other．In fact, eye contact is avoided at all times. That’s not rudeness ― people are just too busy to bother looking．

　　Busy doing what, you ask? Well, they’re certainly not using the time for a moment of quiet thinking．Nor are they reading a book．New technology has replaced quiet habits．Today the only acceptable form of book on the London underground is an e-book．

　　Apple must earn a fortune from London commuters（使用月票上下班者）. Since the launch of the iPhone in 2007, over 40, 000 ― yes, 40, 000 “apps” have been designed．

　　Commuters love them because they are the perfect time - fillers. One “app”, called iShoot, is a game that features tanks．Another one, Tube Exits, tells passengers where to sit on the train to be closest to the exit of their destination. iSteam clouds the iPhone screen when you breathe into the microphone. You can then write in the “steam” on your phone screen．

　　For those without an iPhone, another Apple product, the iPod, may be the distraction (消遣) of choice. It’s not just teenagers who “plug in” to their music － iPods are a popular way to pass the time for all ages．

　　And if games, e-books and music aren’t enough to keep you occupied, then perhaps you would prefer a film? The development of palm DVD technology means many commuters watch their favorite TV shows or films on the way to work．With all these distractions, it’s amazing that people still remember to get off the train．

64. Those who want to save time to reach where they go can download ________ to their

   iPhones．

A. iShoot                 B. Tube Exits           C. iSteam          D. iPod

65. People in London do not make eye contact on the subway because ________．

A. they are going to work and have no time to communicate with each other   

B. they love reading books and do not want to be disturbed

C. they feel sleepy because of getting up early

D. they’re busy playing games, reading e-books, listening to music or watching films

66. The underlined word “apps” in the third paragraph means ________．

A. computers

B. programs downloaded for the iPhone

C. computer companies

D. fortune from London commuters

67．The main idea of the passage is that ________．

A. London commuters are unfriendly to strangers

B. Apple has earned a lot of money from selling 40, 000 apps

C. technology is changing how London commuters spend their traveling time

D. riding a London subway is a must when visiting London

　　It was one of the hottest days of the dry season. We had not seen rain in almost a month. The crops were dying. Cows had stopped giving milk. If we didn’t see some rain soon we would lose everything.

　　I was in the kitchen making lunch for my husband and his brothers when I saw my six-year-old son, Billy, walking toward the woods. He was obviously walking with a great effort. Minutes after he disappeared into the woods, he came running out again, toward the house.

Moments later, however, he was once again walking toward the woods. This activity went on for over an hour: walking cautiously to the woods, then running back to the house. Finally, my curiosity got the best of me. I went out of the house and followed him on his journey.

　　He was cupping both hands in front of him as he walked; being very careful not to spill the water he held in them. Branches and thorns (荊棘) slapped his little face but he did not try to avoid them. As I leaned in to spy on him, I saw the most amazing site.

　　Several large deer appeared threatening in front of him. But Billy walked right up to them. I almost screamed for him to get away. And I saw a baby deer lying on the ground, obviously suffering from heavy loss of water, lift its head with great effort to drink the water cupped in my beautiful boy's hand.

　　I stood on the edge of the woods watching the most beautiful heart working so hard to save a life. As my tears began to hit the ground, they were suddenly joined by other drops... and more drops... and more. I looked up at the sky. It was as if God, Himself, was weeping with pride.

 Perhaps the only test score that I remember is the 41. I was in high school. The test was the final for the class. It was a rather   36    test. I didn’t know how   37   I had done but I knew there were things on   38    that I didn’t know.

   I remember   39   waiting for the result. When Mr. Bales   40   my paper on my desk, I was    41    . There in big   42    numbers, circled to draw attention, was my grade — 41! I   43    my paper so that others couldn’t see it. A 41 was not   44     that you wanted your classmates to see. Finally, Mr. Bales stood behind the desk and   45   the class. “The grades were not very good;    46   of you passed,” he announced. “ The highest grade in the class was a 41, so all of you failed.”

   A 41. That was me. Suddenly my dismal (陰沉的) face didn’t look quite so bad. I had the highest grade. I felt a lot   47   . As soon as I got home, my mother asked me, “How did you do on your test?” “I made a 41,” I said. My mother’s   48    changed suddenly. “You failed.” “But I had the highest grade in the class!” I replied. “ I don’t    49    what everyone else had. You failed. It doesn’t matter if everyone else failed too; what matters is what you do,” my mother    50    answered.

   For years, I thought that was a harsh (嚴厲的) judgment. My mother was always that   51    . It didn’t matter what the other kids did; it only mattered what I did and    52      I did it excellently.

   We often don’t understand the wisdom of good parents until we ourselves stand   53    the parenting shoes. My mother’s philosophy（人生態(tài)度）has    54    me throughout life. The path of the crowd is wide but the path to pass the tests of life is   55    and there are very few people on it.
