Lots of people make it as their aim to get to the top of Mount Everest. Mark is one of them. The difference between Mark and other climbers is that he lost both his legs when climbing. New Zealand’s highest mountain, Mount Cook. He was caught in a big ice hole and he had to have his legs cut below the knees after he was saved. But that couldn’t make Mark lose heart, who has become the first person with man-made legs to reach the top of Mount Everest.

From the top of the world’s highest mountain, Mark called his wife to say he made it. His wife, Anne got the phone when she was sleeping. She couldn’t hear him clearly on the phone. She was unable to say when he reached the top but thought it was around mid-day. She also said his “l(fā)egs” didn’t work well sometimes, so her husband was carrying a spare leg and repair tools.

Mark used to be a mountain guide before his accident. He said it was not important that no one like him had ever reached the 8850-meter mountain.

“I’m not doing this to be the first. I have been climbing most of my life and I just feel Mount Everest is really a great aim. I want to send a message that I can do-anything better.”

The keys to reaching or staying at a healthy weight are regular exercise and good eating habits. Teens should get 60 minutes or more of physical activity a day. Note the word “activity”. As long as you’re getting your body moving, it doesn’t have to mean doing difficult exercise or going to the sports hall every day. All that matters is that each week you get the right balance of activity, including aerobics (有氧運動), strength building, and flexibility (柔韌) exercise. Make exercise a habit by arranging some time every day.
On days when you have soccer practice or an aerobics class, you may have no trouble exercising for an hour or more. But most of us are busy, and 60 minutes a day for exercise seems like a lot of time. The good news is that it’s OK to divide it into shorter exercise breaks throughout the day.
Just as you might have a healthy snack to stop yourself from getting hungry, exercise snacks can keep energy levels high. So get up 15 minutes early and do some stretching (伸展) activity. Walk fast or run slowly for 15 minutes after lunch. Do the same thing after school — or walk or bike home. Add to that taking the stairs, PE class, and walking between classes during the day, and you’ve probably reached your 60 minutes.
Here are five simple ways to make an exercise lifestyle change:
【小題1】The writer thinks many people probably misunderstand the word“activity” to be “_______”.  

A.physical activityB.body movement
C.sports hall exerciseD.outdoor exercise
【小題2】When exercising, the most important fact is ________.
A.the time spent on exercise
B.the intensity of activity
C.the difficulty of exercise
D.the right balance of activity
【小題3】The author advises dividing activity into shorter exercise breaks because ___.
A.exercising for a long time is bad for people’s health
B.it has the same effect as soccer practice
C.people usually haven’t much time to exercise
D.no one can spare lots of time to exercise

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容完成下列句子。
     As an American,I was surprised to learn that Chinese students must be good at sports in order to get
a top grade in PE class.  In the US, all you have to do to get an A in PE class is show up in proper gym
clothes and look like you're trying.
     This is lucky for kids like me who aren't great at sports.  At my school, we had PE class twice a
week. Every few weeks, we changed the activity we were doing. For a few weeks we played football.
That was okay I was good at it.  But then we switched (轉(zhuǎn)換) to baseball, and I was hopeless. I couldn't
hit the ball at all!
     Luckily, under the American system, trying my best was enough. When I missed the ball, I knew it
didn't matter. I'd still get a good grade.
     During the school year, we played many different sports, including American football, badminton,
gymnastics (體操), tennis, golf, swimming and rock-climbing.  Every few months, we spent a few weeks
in health class. Instead of going outside or to the gym, we sat in a classroom and learned about the
human body and first aid (急救).
     At PE classes, we learned a little, exercised a little, and had lots of fun.
1. The Chinese students must be good at sports in order to _______.
2. The writer is an American and is not _______ sports.
3. If you are  a  student in an American school, you are not good at sports but you still _______ .
4. During the American school year, the students have many different PE classes like _______.
5. The students in America can learn a little, _     ___ a little and had lots of fun at PE classes.
