26、This activity will melt away the pounds, build your body and leave you on an emotional high. Yet the form of exercise, the fitness trend of the year, does not require gym membership or a personal trainer. All you need to do is walk.
"Walking is a refreshing alternative to complicated aerobic (氧)routines and overpriced gym membership," says personal trainer Lucy Knight, author of a new book on the exercise. “It is free, enjoyable and already a part of everyday life. All you need to do is correct your technique, walk faster and for longer and you will lose weight?"
There is much evidence of the benefits of walking. Scientists at the University of Pittsburgh recently discovered that overweight people who walked briskly (快)for 30 to 60 minutes a day lost weight even if they didn't change any other lifestyle habits. Another American study found that people who walked for at least four hours a week gained less weight than couch potatoes as they got older. Researchers at the University of Massachusetts medical school found that people who walked every day had 25 percent fewer colds than those who sat a lot. Best of all, walking makes you feel good about yourself "For people suffering from depression, walking three to four times a week for 30 minutes has been shown to lift their mood,” says Knight.
But how to walk your way to weight loss and wellness? Health experts recommend that we should walk 10,000 steps a day to stay healthy. Actually, you would probably need to walk at least 16,000 steps a day to lose weight. "Your workout plans depend on your level of fitness. You should aim to progress by increasing your walking time by five minutes every two weeks, and walk a bit faster. In just three months, the results should speak for themselves," says Knight.
【1】What is the latest fitness trend according to the passage?

【3】Studies and researches are mentioned in the passage to show walking .
A.is gaining increasing popularity

C.is an enjoyable way to lose weight
D.involves different groups of people
【4】It can be learned from the last paragraph that .

28、 I used to live in South Africa and recently went back to Botswana to visit the Central Kalahari Game Reserve with my friend Oscar. There is nothing quite like the vast African wilderness.
Our jeep broke down suddenly along the too-hot-to-touch sand. With such an engine, it was tough work. The dry heat was fierce and the only break came from using our precious water for brief bucket shower.
With no supplies available within the park—it was a sort of no man’s land with the occasional cow—it’s necessary to bring all your fuel, food and water with you.
We camped in a small open space of the bush. At the height of the dry season, shade was in very little supply, so we angled ourselves near a lonely leafless tree. As the sun was setting, we drove towards the watering hole a few miles away, and were reminded just why we’d chosen to spend weeks experiencing this difficult, unpleasant, and painful exercise on ourselves. Realizing our arrival, a lone lion stopped his drinking. He yawned (打哈欠), then carried on drinking.
That night, sleeping on the roof of the jeep, we felt his roar (吼叫) as much as we heard it. All movements and activities stopped, but when bright satellites flashed across the blackness, the vast African skies offered the only sign that the outside world hadn’t come to a standstill.
In the morning we saw that the lion had walked on the road overnight, his paw prints pressed into yesterday’s tyre tracks. We set off for another morning inching through the sand: another day of shifting landscapes and raw (原始的), wild beauty; another night lit by fireflies and shooting stars.
【1】What can we learn from the passage?
A.The author and his friend toured the Reserve without difficulty.
B.There were many cows in the Central Kalahari Game Reserve.
C.The lion walked along the tyre tracks and attacked the jeep at night.
D.The author and his friend suffered much heat in the daytime.
【2】What does the underlined word “precious” mean in the passage?
A.Clean. B.Enjoyable.
C.Valuable. D.Enough.
【3】What can you infer from the last paragraph?
A.The jeep’s tyre was destroyed by the lion at night.
B.The lion didn’t get close to the author’s jeep at night.
C.The author didn’t think the reserve worth visiting.
D.The natural beauty appealed to them to go on bravely.
【4】Which of the following is the best title?
A.A Roaring Lion B.An African Wilderness Tour
C.Extremely Hot Weather D.African Wild Beauty
29、 Having confidence isn’t always an easy thing to gain no matter who you are. Let me help you by giving some tips on how to improve your self-confidence.
Make sure you understand the concept of acceptance. You must accept who you are. 【1】Everyone has good qualities and it’s important to understand that about yourself.
