I was visiting Australia a few weeks ago. I knew I couldn’t leave the surf capital of the world 【1】 having a try myself. I booked a group surf lesson when I was in Byron Bay, which is a really popular place for 【2】 (skill) surfers to go and catch some waves!

We started off with a warm-up by doing some stretches and going for a jog along 【3】 beach. Then we all 【4】 (lie) down on our surfboards on the sand and practiced 【5】 (jump) up to the standing position. After this, we were ready to go out and try it out on the water. Well, surfing is much 【6】 (hard) than it looks—when you watch people from the beach they make 【7】 look so easy! I had tried a couple of times but failed before one of the【8】 (coach) came to help me and held my board steady.

Finally I started to get the hang of it and by the end of the lesson I managed 【9】 (stand) up on the board by myself, 【10】 was a pretty awesome feeling. Now I can’t wait to try it again, although I’ll definitely need to wear a wetsuit if I’m surfing in the UK!

Dear Sir/ Madam,

New research shows that sitting less than three hours a day might extend your life by two years. Peter Katzmarzyk, a scientist at the University of Louisiana in the southern United States, says that sitting is ubiquitous in our lives, meaning it is something we do all the time, everywhere.

However, Mr. Katzmarzyk says that does not mean you can sit for the rest of your waking hours. He also says you may exercise often, “We can’t throw away physical activity. It’s extremely important. We have 60 years of research showing us that.”

Mr. Katzmarzyk and his colleagues are part of a new generation of researchers studying how sitting all day affects length of life. “Studies that have assessed the relationship between sitting and mortality (死亡率) or television viewing and mortality are very rare. There’s only been a few of them, actually five or six now, in the last four or five years.” They found that cutting television time to less than two hours a day could add one point four years to life.

Luckily, change is already coming to some offices, especially in the design of desks. A “standing desk” lets people stand while they work. Another new design is called the “treadmill desk.” A treadmill is an exercise machine that lets you walk in one place. Even some U.S. schools are beginning to experiment with desks that are part bicycle to keep children moving. That’s one of the strategies that many companies are using now.

Mr. Katzmarzyk also says studying this problem has inspired his team to make a few changes in their own lives.

【1】The underlined word “ubiquitous” is closest in meaning to ________．

A. dangerous B. impressive

C. comfortable D. common

【2】Which view agrees with the opinion of Mr. Katzmarzyk?

A. Sitting long may help people live longer.

B. Exercise is important and don’t sit too long.

C. People are unaware of the harm of sitting too long.

D. Stopping watching TV is a necessary but hard task.

【3】What does Mr. Katzmarzyk think of his study in Paragraph 4?

A. It’s been ignored by many scientists. B. It’s a study that begins too late.

C. It’s an entirely new area of study. D. It’s been a hot subject for scientists.

【4】Why are the desks of all kinds designed for those who sit more?

A. To give them more comfort. B. To improve their work efficiency.

C. To offer them the chance to exercise. D. To seek pleasure while working.
