Doctors at the American Heart Association suggest getting at least 150 minutesof proper physical activity every week. Many people exercise for a few minutes every day or every other day. So, getting 150 minutes every week is easy.But what about those times when you are sick? If you do not feel well, should you keep following your exercise habit? Following are the answers from health experts.Edward R. Laskowski is a doctor at the Mayo Clinic. He and other experts have a general rule about exercising when you are sick. It is usually fine to exercise properly (not hard), he explains, if your symptoms are all “above the neck”. These signs may include a runny nose, sneezing or a sore throat.Geralyn Coopersmith, a physical fitness trainer who has written several books on exercise offers similar advice. However, both Coopersmith and Dr. Laskowski suggest taking a break from exercising if signs of your illness appear “below the neck”. Pay special attention to symptoms such as chest congestion, bad cough or pain in the stomach.There are other symptoms that can tell you to avoid exercise. They include a higher than normal body temperature, a sense of feeling very tired, and widespread muscle pain.Both Coopersmith and Dr. Laskowski suggest listening to your body. If you feel really bad, take a break and let yourbody rest. If you don ’t feel too bad, these experts both suggest cutting down the amount of exercise. For example, if you usually run, take a quick walk instead.1. How long should people do exercise according to doctors?A. No less than two and a half hours a week.B. One hundred and fifty minutes each day.C. At least a few minutes every day.D. About 150 minutes every other day.2. People with symptoms “below the neck”are advised to________.A. stop exercisingB. walk instead of runC. ignore the symptomsD. do less exercise3. What does the underlined part “listening to your body” in the last paragraph mean?A. Taking good care of yourself.B. Learning to take advice of your body.C. Making decisions according to your physical condition.D. Listening to music when exercising to keep healthy.4. What is the text mainly about?A. Warnings against exercise when you are ill.B. Harmful results of exercise when you are ill.C. Time for exercise when you are ill.D. Professional suggestions on exercise when you are ill.答案和解析一、单句语法填空1.has been collected2.have been sold3.have been found4.has been cut5.has been founded二、完形填空1.B。
