We all need physical exercise. Exercise uses up food we eat and keeps the body full of energy. It works your muscles and makes your heart work hard so as to send blood to your muscles. So, exercise makes your heart and muscles strong. Exercise also makes you feel refreshed. If you exercise a couple of times a week, you will stay happy and healthy.

Some Western countries, such as the United States, have problems with exercise. In the US, many people don't have enough exercise because it is hard for them. People have to work from dawn till dusk, so they don't have time to take exercise. They work in office buildings sitting in chairs all day long in front of computers. They cannot get much exercise sitting at desk passively.

Some Westerners can get exercise walking from their homes to work. However, the majority of people cannot do this. It is too far from their homes to their offices. They have no choice but to drive to work. In fact, some have to drive one or two hours to their offices. This is unfavourable in two ways. First, these people don't have a chance to exercise because they are sitting in their cars for two to four hours each day. Second, driving is challenging especially in rush hours and calls for too much attention. It makes a person worn out. So, when these people arrive home at night, they don't have the desire to take exercise after work.

Today, many people in the West are overweight, which causes health problems for them. Doctors say exercise can help people both lose weight and improve their health. So many people are trying to get more exercise. But it takes time to change, and when people don't see a difference right away, they will lose heart and stop exercising.

　　Ed Jocelyn and Andy McEwen might have appeared to be a bit mad－the two set off on their own“Long March”through the remotest regions of China on October 16．The idea was to take a year to retrace one of the epic movements of modern military history．

　　The two British men in their mid-30s were working as editors in Beijing when they decided to reexperience the tales of the original marches．“We hold these people in such respect,”McEwen says．

　　They plan to keep diaries but will not share the contents during the trip．“When we get to the end we'll put our heads together and try and come up with a book,”Jocelyn said．

　　Their trip has had some auspicious beginning, they have already met two Long March veterans(老战士)in less than a month of travel．

　　In this modern version, the pair are aided by high-tech equipment including a satellite phone, mini-computer, video camera and solar panels to recharge batteries．A mountain tent and portable stove will help them in the remoter stretches．

　　They plan to average 35-40 kilometers a day, and rest about every third day．Ed admitted that their trip would be very tough．

　　If they succeed, they will be the first foreigners to complete the entire Long March route since Otto Braun, the German military advisor who accompanied the Red Army on the Long March．

　　Sheep, like turkeys and ostriches, are not considered the cleverest animals．British scientists said last Wednesday human may have underestimated(低估)the woolly creatures．They could be much smarter than we think．

　　Researchers at the Babraham Institute in Cambridge, southern．England, have shown that animals have a good memory system and are extremely good at recognizing faces--which they think is a sure sign of intelligence．

　　Behavioral scientist Keith Kendrick and his friends trained 20 sheep to recognize and distinguish(区别)25 pairs of sheep faces and used electrodes(电极)to measure their brain activity, which showed they could remember 50 faces for up to two years．

　　"If they can do that with faces, the fact is that they have to have reasonable intelligence, otherwise, what is the point of having a system for remembering anything else," Kendrick said in an interview．

　　So hours of seemingly mindless eating grass may not be so mindless after all．

　　Kendrick believes sheep got their reputation as dumb animals because they live in large groups and do not appear to have much individuality and are frightened of just about everything．

　　"All animals, including humans, once they are frightened don't tend to show signs of intelligent action," he explained．

　　In research reported in the science journal Nature, Kendrick and his team showed that sheep, like humans, have a specialized system in the brain, which allows them to distinguish between many different faces that look extremely similar．

　　"The most important findings of the study is that they are able, both from a behavioral point of view and from looking at the way the brain is organized, to remember a large number of faces of individuals for a very long time," said Kendrick．"It is a very strange system．They are showing similar abilities in many ways to humans．"

(1)

From the first paragraph we can find that ________．
[　　]
A．	people used to think sheep are smarter than the other animals
B．	people used to raise sheep in a wrong way
C．	people don't consider sheep as clever animals
D．	people have done a lot of research on sheep

(2)

From what Kendrick said in the interview we learn that ________．
[　　]
A．	scientists have learned a lot about sheep's intelligence
B．	scientists have learned little about sheep's intelligence
C．	scientists can't do anything more about sheep's memory
D．	scientists don't have to research animals' memory

(3)

As is shown in the passage ________．
[　　]
A．	sheep are among the weak animals
B．	it is not right for people to raise sheep in groups
C．	when sheep eat grass in the fields their minds may be active
D．	if people feel frightened, they may become more brave

(4)

When scientists found that sheep show similar abilities in many ways to humans they may think it ________．
[　　]
A．	worrying
B．	moving
C．	frightening
D．	interesting
