As a girl, I've spent a great deal of my time on earth concerned about my weight. So I do know something about exercise. Let me tell you about the calorie-burning activities I've tried or will try.
Salsa (萨尔萨舞)
I try to maintain my weight through dancing. Dancing improves my coordination and sense of rhythm in addition to burning calories. I'm personally interested in salsa, which I find sexy and expressive(有表现力的). But I have not yet to start classes, because classes are very expensive, and I cannot find a dance partner.
Ping-Pong
Ping-pong is the national sport of China, so how could I know nothing about it?
My father is a ping-pong fan, and a really good player. He's won several informal (非正式的) matches. My relationship with ping-pong has always been on-and-off. I'll get into it for a while, and then lose interest. The reason is because I can’t find a good partner. Some stronger can depress you, while someone weaker (or just as weak) can make the game boring.
Tae Kwon Do (跆拳道)
I've recently decided to try tae kwon do as my regular exercise activity. There’s a story behind this choice: A few weeks ago, I was sitting on a bus, concentrating on a book. Suddenly, the bus became very quiet except for the sound of a woman’s crying. I looked up to see what had happened and overheard whispers that she had just quarreled with a man, and the man slapped(拍打) her face. No one on the bus dared say anything because the man looked really strong. Even now I feel ashamed I was among the silent.
That’s why I've made up my mind to learn something that will help me protect others and myself.
【小题1】We can guess that the girl is _____ according to the passage.
A.too thin | B.a little fat | C.careful | D.brave |
A.The dance is too difficult to learn. |
B.Nobody wants to dance with her. |
C.She has no time to join the classes. |
D.She finds it sexy and expressive. |
A.she can play it well |
B.it is the national sport |
C.her father plays it well |
D.she finds a good partner |
A.she wants to lose weight |
B.she wants to protect others and herself |
C.she wants to win some matches |
D.she wants to beat a strong man |
A.the girl has learnt salsa for a long time |
B.the girl has played ping-pong many times |

“Are you happy?” The simple question usually makes people confused (迷惑的). Even Mo Yan, who won a Nobel Prize, replied to it by saying, “I don’t know.”
When a migrant worker (农民工) was asked, “Are you happy? (Ni Xing Fu Ma?)” by a CCTV reporter, he looked confused before replying, “My family name is Zeng. (Wo Xing Zeng.)” This has become a joke. But his answer showed migrant workers and TV reporters live in different worlds and they cannot even communicate with each other.
Similarly, when asked, “Are you happy?” a 73-year-old man, collecting used plastic bottles in a street in Zhejiang, said, “The bottles can be sold for 0.1 yuan each.” Asked again, he said, “The government is good.” The reporter went on, “My question is ‘Are you happy?’” The old man answered, “My hearing is not good.”
The reporter probably tried to reach the same answer that the interviewees(被采访者) including the migrant worker and the old man are “happy”.
In fact, when the question is asked, we should learn about people’s true situation and their true wishes and opinions but their “Yes” or “No”.
Luckily, the government has paid more attention to the importance. Now there are many TV programs giving common people the chance to give their opinions.
“Everything we do is aimed at letting people live more happily.” At last year’s National People’s Congress (人大), Wen Jiabao said and agreed that increasing happiness would be a top aim for the 12th five-year plan.
1.Ten plastic bottles could be sold for ________ to the 73-year-old.
A.0.1 yuan B.1 yuan C.10 yuan D.20 yuan
2.The government has paid more attention to the importance of ________.
A.learning about people’s true wishes and opinions
B.people’s different replies to “Are you happy?”
C.improving migrant workers’ education
D.keeping the old people’s health
3.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A.The reporters wanted the people to say “Yes” when asked “Are you happy?”
B.Letting people live more happily is a top aim in the next five years.
C.The reporter asked the old man three different questions.
D.We can call the migrant worker Mr. Zeng.
4.This passage is mainly about ________.
A.the questions B.the happiness
C.the popular songs D.the education
