Question

If you're ready to add more physical activity to your life, here are some tips.

Make physical activity part of your routine(惯例), like brushing your teeth or going to work. Try bicycling to work at least once a week, using the stairs more often, or walking to some places near home. But talk to your doctor before you start an exercise routine, especially if you haven't been very active or have health problems.

Walking is one of the best fitness activities. To keep up a routine, you can walk with family members, friends or pets. Count your steps with a step counter(计数器). You can buy one at a sporting goods store. If you don't have time for one 30-minute walk, break it into three 10 minute w-alks.

Find an activity that you enjoy, and stay with it. Change it with other activities so you don't get bored. For example, walk three days a week, and swim or bike on the other days. Join a volleyball or basketball club for fun and exercise. By finding more activities you enjoy, you'll have a greater chance for success.

2.根据短文第二段中But talk to your doctor before you start an exercise routine, especially if you haven't been very active or have health problems可知，在开始常规的锻炼之前，你应该先和你的医生谈一谈。

3.根据短文第三段中Count your steps with a step counter(计数器). You can buy one at a sporting goods store.可知，计数器可以在体育用品商店中买到。

4.根据短文第四段中Change it with other activities so you don't get bored可知，为了不对运动感到厌烦，你可以把一项运动和其他的活动互换一下。

5.短文的第一段就是文章的中心句，根据If you're ready to add more physical activity to your life, here are some tips可知，这篇短文介绍的是如果你准备好去增加更多的体育活动，这里有一些建议。因此这篇短文是对体育活动提出了一些建议，因此短文的题目可以是Some suggestions/advice on physical activity。

点睛：这篇短文介绍的是关于体育锻炼我们需要注意的一些事情，短文是总分的结构，第一段即点明了文章的主题，下面分成了三个方面提建议，每一段是独立的内容。后面的题目都是问答题，主要是针对文章的一些细节进行提问，我们可以先看题目问的是什么，找到一个关键词，定位到相关的段落去寻找信息。例如第1小题，题目中的关键词就是walking，关于散步这项运动，作者在第三段中提到的，通过阅读这一段，加以简单的分析就可以知道作者说了三个方面的建议；再如第4小题，关键词就是get bored，如何不对一项运动感到厌烦，作者是在第四段中讲到的，所以答案就在第四段中。
