VI. Read and choose the best answers. (1.0pt)
Exercising
Everyone knows that exercising is good for you, but why? And how often and for how long
should you exercise? Physical exercise is any activity that makes your body work. Taking a long walk,
going on a bike ride, or taking an aerobics class can make your body work. Exercising makes muscles
stronger, makes people better at many sports, and is good for the heart. Regular exercise prevents
diseases such as obesity and diabetes. It's also good for your bones.
Doctors say that the average person should exercise for thirty minutes every day, and this daily
exercise should be cardiovascular. That means that while exercising, your heart rate should go up.
Lifting weights, for example, is not considered cardiovascular. Although lifting weights is very good
for your muscle strength, “it” does not keep your heart rate up for long enough.
If your life is busy, you can do simple things like taking the stairs rather than the elevator.
Walk to the places you need to go as often as you can. Exercise can be tiring and is not always the
most fun thing to do. However, it's certainly the best way to keep your body healthy. You only have
one body, so take good care of it by giving it proper exercise.
56. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Advice on how to exercise
B. How to avoid health problems
C. Benefits of exercise
D. Fun from doing exercise
57. How long should we exercise every day?
A. 90 minutes
B. one hour
C. 30 minutes
D. 2 hours
58. Which activity is NOT physical exercise?
A. walking
B. riding a bike
C. doing aerobics
D. taking the elevator
59. What does the word “it” refer to?
A. heart rate
B. muscle strength
C. weightlifting
D. daily exercise
60. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. Obesity can be prevented by exercise.
B. People should do exercise that can increase heart rate.
C. You can do exercise even if you are busy.
D. All kinds of exercise are good for your body.
