One of my friends, Lin Fei, followed short workout videos to do daily exercise, “With     40     programs, I feel like working out with my friends, which encourages me to hold on to the last minute.” she said. Another friend of mine. Michael told me that workout videos let him feel so comfortable.

Their experiences can let you know     43     you can expect. Anyway, don’t be addicted (沉迷的) to it. You should try different ways to work out to be healthy.”

At her suggestions, I followed an online workout program with personalized help that is held for three months. After the first period of training. I felt it very practical and helpful when I     44     the right amount of workout together with a strong will. Compared with going to the gym, using online videos to work out is a much cheaper and time-saving choice. But it can be difficult sometimes when I’m too lazy or too busy to stick to it.

八、阅读回答问题

Police dogs are given special training to help the police with their work. Many different types of dogs can be trained to do this work, but the best known ones are German shepherds and bloodhounds. In Britain, police dogs usually have a 13-week training course and many dogs fail. Not all dogs make good police dogs. They must be completely reliable and obedient. Most police dogs live with their handlers as part of the family, but they are not pets. They are working dogs and they have a job to do.

Police dogs are trained to chase and hold people who are trying to get away from the police. Police dogs are not vicious animals. They are trained to hold on to people until their handler tells them to let go.

Police dogs often go into dangerous places and they are given special vests to protect them from knife and gun attacks.

Dogs are not only trained to chase and catch criminals. They are also used for following suspects or finding missing people. This is because some dogs, such as bloodhounds, have a very good sense of smell and can be trained to recognize certain types of smells. Some dogs are used to find survivors after earthquakes or explosions and some are specially trained to find dead bodies.

In many countries dogs are used in airports to check luggage for drugs and bombs. Labradors, spaniels and beagles are used for this because they are friendly dogs and people are not afraid of them.
