Unit 3 Sports And Fitness单元话题导读许多没有健身房会员卡的人不知道该如何保持身材其实只要有一点创造力和一些基础设备,就可以锻炼身体了这不仅不难,而且有时甚至是一件有趣的事情Ways to Keep Fit Outside the GymHere are some lowcost ideas to keep fit outside the gym.1.Stairs Running or walking up and down the stairs in your house or apartment building can be a great highintensity cardio (高强度的心脏强化训练) and leg workout. One choice for beginners is to add walking intervals(间歇) every few floors.2.Mall Walking When walking outdoors is not a good idea, do laps (绕圈) inside your local shopping mall. For the average person, a quick onehour walk can burn 300 to 400 calories.3.Home Workouts A workout DVD or even a quick online search to find indoor aerobic routines(有氧动作) can pay off when you have limited space. If you have weights, a skipping rope, a stability ball, or other equipment, you can combine those into a great full body workout.4.Active TV Viewing Don’t want to miss your favourite TV show? Try jogging or skipping on the spot while you watch. Do squats or pushups during the commercial breaks.Section Ⅰ Listening and Speaking,Reading and ThinkingⅠ.重点单词1. soccer n.足球;足球运动2. stadium n.体育场;运动场3. boxing n.拳击(运动)4. badminton n.羽毛球运动5. marathon n.马拉松赛跑6. event n.比赛项目;大事;公开活动7. ski adj.滑雪的 vi.滑雪8. host vt.主办;主持 n.主人;东道主;节目主持人→ hostess n.女主人;女主持人9. track n.跑道;足迹;铁路轨道 vt.& vi.追踪;跟踪10. gym n.健身房;体育馆→ gymnastics n.体操(训练)11. sweat vt.使出汗;出汗弄湿 vi.出汗;流汗 n.汗水;出汗12. athlete n.运动员;运动健儿→ athletic adj.健壮的;运动的→ athletics n.田径运动13. master n.高手;主人 vt.精通;掌握14. honour n.荣誉;尊敬;荣幸→ honourable adj.光荣的,值得尊敬的15. glory n.荣誉;光荣;赞美→ glorious adj.光荣的;辉煌的;壮丽的16. medal n.奖章;勋章17. champion n.冠军;优胜者→ championship n.锦标赛;冠军赛;冠军称号18. determination n.决心;决定→ determine v.决心;决定;确定→ determined adj.有决心的;意志坚决的19. apart adv.分离;分开;成碎片20. injure vt.使受伤;损害→ injured adj.受伤的;有伤的→ injury n.伤害;损伤21. captain n.(运动队)队长;船长;机长22. graceful adj.优美的;优雅的;→ grace n.优美;优雅自然23. strength n.力量;体力→ strengthen v.(使)变强;加强;增强→ strong adj.强壮的;结实的;强大的→ strongly adv.强烈地;坚定地24. failure n.失败;失败的人(或事物)→ fail v.失败;不及格Ⅱ.重点短语1.come along 跟随;到达;进步;赶快2.be filled with 充满3.take part in 参加4.work out 锻炼;计算出;解决5.make it 获得成功;准时到达6. at least至少7.lose weight 减轻体重;减肥8. at first首先;第一9.get used to 习惯于10.set an example树立榜样11.think about 考虑12.relate... to ...把……和……联系起来13. at home and abroad在国内外14.prepare for ...为……做准备15.fall apart 破裂;破碎;崩溃16.because of 因为;由于17.lose heart 丧失信心;泄气18.be/become known as 作为……而闻名;被称之为19.learn from ...向……学习20.give up 放弃;投降21.share sth. with sb.和某人分享某物Ⅲ.重点句型1.The player who became known as “Air Jordan”changed basketball with his graceful moves and jumps.这位球员被称为“飞人乔丹”,用他优雅的动作和跳跃改变了篮球。
