Why Exercise Is Cool?

1. Exercise Strengthens Muscles

Did you ever do a push-up or swing across the monkey bars at the playground?    1.    By using your muscles to do powerful things, you can make them stronger. For older teens and adults, this kind of workout can make muscles bigger, too.

2.    2.  

Can you touch your toes easily without yelling ouch? Most kids are pretty flexible, which means that they can bend and stretch their bodies without much trouble. Being flexible is having “full range of motion,” which means you can move your arms and legs freely without feeling tightness or pain.

3. Exercise Keeps the Balance

       3.  Your body needs a certain amount of calories every day just to function, breathe, walk around, and do all the basic stuff.   4.    If you’re not very active, your body won’t need as many calories.

Whatever your calorie need is, if you eat enough to meet that need, your body weight will stay about the same. If you eat more calories than your body needs, it may be stored as extra fat.

4. Exercise Makes You Feel Good

It feels good to have a strong, flexible body that can do all the activities you enjoy—like running, jumping, and playing with your friends. It’s also fun to be good at something, like scoring a basket, hitting a home run, or perfecting a dive.

But you may not know that exercising can actually put you in a better mood.   5.   It’s just another reason why exercise is cool!

A. So you want to do some aerobic (有氧的) exercise right now?

B. Food gives your body fuel in the form of calories, which are a kind of energy.

C. When you exercise, your brain releases a chemical, which may make you feel happier.

D. Those are exercises that can build strength.

E. Exercise Makes You Flexible

F. Exercise Makes Your Heart Happy

G. But if you’re active, your body needs an extra measure of calories or energy.

When I succeeded in becoming a part-time employee of Nokia China last summer, many friends asked me how I survived the interview.

I once asked myself the same questions. Many of my peers also __1._ for the job, including some very competitive and intelligent students from famous universities.

But why did the interviewer pick me instead of them?

Finally, _2.__ pushed me to ask the interviewers after we became colleagues. The answer was that I appeared confident but humble, responsible and communicative. They evaluated people not just on their academic certificates, but on the base of their __3.__ and abilities. I happened to be the right person.

To be frank, I once felt __4.__ of being a student from an unknown college, and I think this may apply to some of you. I thought my future was ruined. It was only at the time of my successful interview that I finally understood the famous saying --- “You decide where you go.”

A wide range of skills is important these days. I used to work for Master Kong. My job was to cook instant noodles for customers. I had regarded it as a piece of cake, but I failed constantly. I had to cook the noodles for the right amount of time to make them __5.__ good. Moreover, the noodles could only remain in a plastic cup of five minutes, or the taste would be ruined.

This experience taught me never to look down on anything, and always remain humble.

I also __6.__ as a volunteer for a beach volleyball event. My job was to help foreign visitors experience the beach. I thought it would be very easy because my oral English was __7.__ good. But when I went to talk with a group of foreign guests, I suddenly realized that I did not know a single beach volleyball term. I was embarrassed.

After this, I read brochures in both Chinese and English every day to learn the terms for facilities and related words. This allowed me to deliver accurate __8.__ to foreigners, and I was happy to work responsibly.

After these experience, I’m more confident and I strongly believe that my fate is in my  __9.__. It has certainly helped me make a giant step closer to my dream of graduating with prospects for the future. I hope my advice will benefit you as well.
