Unit 210 short conversations CCBAD BCDAA1. W wow! You look great! What have you been doing to look so good? M I have been lifting weights(举重). I really feel great. Strange, but it hardly took anytime at all before I started seeing improvements in my body.2. M can you help me open this bottle? Someone put the cap on too tight盖子盖得太紧. W sure thing! Umm…there! Hey, that wasn’t tight at all! You really need to work out a little more and build up your strength!3. M I just don’t know what I am going to do about my energy level! No matter what I do, I always feel tired! W here’s an idea: since you have already been exercising a lot with no result, maybe you can change your diet.4. M I’d really like to begin an exercise program, but I simply don’t know how to begin. W I’ve spoken to a doctor about it. I will tell you what you told me: start off with(从。
开始) a little bit of running and then do more and more every day.5. M I’ve been feeling terrible lately. Do you think exercise could help me? W I can’t say for sure. It probably wouldn’t hurt, but exercise can’t cure all of your problems.6. W you always do so well in your classes! M running gives me energy to stay up late into the night. This allows me to study more. Do the same and run with me tomorrow!7. M there’s a strange limp (无力,蹒跚)in your walk. Did you pull a muscle or something? W nah. I just feel a bit tired from all of the exercise I’ve been doing at the gym. I’ll return to normal in just a moment.8. M have you seen how much weight Angela’s put on? Why do you think she stopped exercising and started eating such unhealthy foods? W it is a sad story. Her parents got divorced, and now she is totally ignored(忽视) her health.9. W hello? Are you the person I talked to on the phone about checking in for an appointment? M yes. Just sign your name on this piece of paper, and the doctor will see you as soon as he is free.10. W I’ve been so very worried, and I don’t have a clue(不懂得) as to why I’ve been so sick. M try not to worry too much. Do some running, see me in a week, and let me know if things change. I’ll run some tests on you if you are still not feeling well.Understanding a long conversation: DCABAM hey! Hold up! Can you spare a minute?(你能等会儿吗)W ugh, do you think you can make it quick?M I’ll only need a minute, and then you can return to your run.W fine, what’s up?M Ma and Pa asked me to talk to you about all the exercising you’ve been doing. They told me I could find you here at the school track.(跑道)W so what of it?M they think you’ve been doing a bit too much.W you know what the doctor said---if I don’t get active, I could die of a heart attack.M yeah, but I don’t think he meant for you to do so much. You should take it slowly. Maybe you could build an exercise program that becomes more and more difficult as time goes by.W is that what your doctor said?M no. it is just common sense(常识). Everyone knows you shouldn’t overwork yourself when you start exercising.W thanks for the concern. But tell Ma and Pa that I’ll be fine with what I’m doing.Understanding a passage: BDDCAIt is very important to exercise. Many studies have shown that regular activity and exercise can improve overall health substantially极大地改善总体健康. Exercise reduces the risk of heart disease by up to 35%, stroke中风 by about 28%, certain cancers癌症 by 20% and more, and high blood pressure by an amazing 52%. Exercise can also help you to build healthy bones and muscles. Athletes must do physical training on a regular basis to increase their level of performance. Exercising includes walking, running, biking and plenty of other activities as well. My advice would be to pick something you enjoy doing and wouldn’t mind pursuing on a regular basis常常地进行锻炼. Then, you must stick to a schedule计划. You can even pick a few different activities to mix things up and keep it interesting. Also, always stretch拉伸,伸展 before physical activity! This is very important as you do not want to pull muscles. Most importantly, to keep a healthy body you must stay ACTIVE!Dictation:1. advancements; 2.physical; 3. depression; 4. condition; 5. mentioned;6. admit; 7. combat; 8. high-fiber and vitamin-rich foods, such as vegetables and fruits.9. should give up smoking if they haven’t already done so.10. no section of the population can benefit more from exerciseHomework task 1:ABCDBM: I though Susan would live forever.W: No one lives forever.M: Yeah, I know.

I saw her running every day in front of my house and around the block several times while I was eating breakfast and getting ready for work in the morning.M: That was Susan. Alw。
