Ⅰ.阅读理解

Pilates，yoga and the running machine get all the attention when it comes to popular ways to stay healthy.There is，however，a more humble exercise that might not be so attractive，but has all the benefits—walking.

Certified fitness professional Jolynn Jaekel explains，“What I love about walking is that anyone can do it at any age and any fitness level.Plus，it is good for your heart，your head and your wallet.”

A recent report details the health benefits of walking.The report found that walking regularly to fulfill the 150 minutes of moderate physical exercise every week，recommended by the UK's chief medical officer，could save 37，000 lives each year.Scientists at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California found that quick walking reduces the risk of heart disease more effectively than running.They observed participants aged between 18 and 80 over a six­year period and found that walking reduced the risk of heart disease by 9.3%，while running reduced it by 4.5%.And there is even more good news: 30 minutes of quick walking over five days could help you sleep easily，according to research by Oregon State University.The study by the university showed that walking helped participants sleep better and feel more alert during the day.The sooner you get started，the sooner you'll notice the differences in your mind and body.So，go out for your 30­minute walk in a nearby park or green space.

In the world today，all of the people need recreation (消遣)．We cannot work all the time if we are going to keep healthy and enjoy life.

Everyone has his own way of relaxing.Perhaps the most popular form is to take part in sports.There are team sports，such as basketball and football.There are also individual (个人的)sports，such as swimming and running.Skating and mountain climbing are the most popular recreation for people who like to be outdoor.

Not everyone who enjoys sports likes to take part in them.Many people like watching them on TV or listening to them on the radio.So many people like some forms of indoor recreation，such as watching TV，singing and dancing.

Ⅱ.概要写作

阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的概要。

Nowadays, it is most probable that you have an electronic device loaded with hundreds of or even thousands of your favorite songs.At any moment, you can fill your headphones with the sounds of a particular song that suits your mood at that exact time.

Music is so common. But have you realized the power of it? Are you getting ready for a big soccer match or do you need to get excited？Maybe some hip hop with a strong beat will do the trick! Besides, you might be ready to study for a big exam the next day. To help you study better, the strains of Mozart might make you remember things better.

We may all have been moved by particular songs that spoke to us in some situations. But is there any scientific evidence showing that music really has such effect on people? Of course, there is! Scientists have long recognized the power of music.Over the years, many studies have been done to examine in greater depth the nature and extent of the effects music has on people.

For example, scientists at the University of Missouri have found that listening to music can have positive effects on your mood. Their research gives scientific credibility (可靠性) to the behavior that many people have already experienced on their own：Listening to upbeat music can brighten the day and boost the mood. Other studies have shown that upbeat music isn't the only type of music that can be helpful, however. When people are sad or have suffered a personal loss, sad music can be helpful because the tone and lyrics of the music can resonate (引起共鸣) with the listeners. Likewise, people under a lot of stress or experiencing upsetting situations can benefit from listening to angry music. Although angry music might not help you if you're in a normal mood, its tone can benefit you when you are dealing with stressful and upsetting situations.
