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 (薩爾薩舞)
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(有表現(xiàn)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.
小題1:We can guess that the girl is _____ according to the passage.
A．too thinB．a(chǎn) little fatC．carefulD．brave
小題2:Why doesn’t the girl want to go to learn salsa?
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.
小題3:She is interested in ping-pong because ________.
A．she can play it well
B．it is the national sport
C．her father plays it well
D．she finds a good partner
小題4:She has made up her mind to learn Tae Kwon Do mainly because______.
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
小題5:We can learn from the passage that________.
A．the girl has learnt salsa for a long time
B．the girl has played ping-pong many times
C．the girl was brave enough to beat the man
D．she has learnt tae kwon do well
