【解析】

你喜欢跑步，骑自行车或游泳吗？它们都是有氧运动。有氧运动有很多好处。作者通过此文鼓励人们多进行有氧运动。

1.考查细节理解。原文One of the problems is television. In the United States, for example, the average person watches four hours of TV a day, but only spends 27 minutes doing physical activities!（问题之一是电视。例如，在美国，普通人每天看电视四小时，而体育锻炼却只花27分钟！）说明美国人看电视很频繁，第二段没有提到美国人目前压力太大、医生更容易感到疲倦和不快乐或是每天进行27分钟的体育锻炼可以使人们保持健康，故选A。

2.考查细节理解。原文“Through the subject, teachers and parents hope that their kids can learn good exercise habits when they are young, and continue them when they get older.”（通过这门课，老师和父母希望孩子们在小时候就能养成良好的运动习惯，并在他们长大后继续学习。）说明老师和父母希望体育能帮助孩子发展良好的运动习惯，故选C。

3.考查词义猜测。原文倒数第二段有带下划线的“promote”词的这句话“Aerobic exercise is now being promoted at work.”（现在在工作中推广有氧运动。）从这一段后面的描述来看，许多公司现在正在组织体育项目，提供健身室，可以推断出这个词指的是“推广”，这里表示推广有氧运动，故选B。

4.考查写作目的。原文最后一段“How do you exercise? There are many fun and exciting forms of aerobic exercise. Finding one that you like will give you the best chance of having a long and healthy life”（你怎么运动？有氧运动有许多有趣而令人兴奋的形式。找到自己喜欢的那一项，将给你带来长期健康生活的最佳机会）说明作者写这篇文章的目的是鼓励人们多做有氧运动，故选D。
