Tony is reading an article.

1. People today ________.



A. move around a lot



B. are very hard-working



C. are not as active as before



D. have too many tasks to do

Exercise

Machines do a lot of work for us. With the help of machines, we do not need to work as hard as before. We have become less active. However, as the saying goes, ‘Use it or lose it’. If we don’t use our bodies, we will not be healthy. Our muscles will become weak and our hearts will not work well. We need to stay active to keep healthy. Therefore, we need exercise.

1

5 Exercise is good for us in many ways. First of all, exercise takes away harmful and useless things from our bodies. It cleans our bodies like spring cleaning. Our clean and healthy bodies then keep us away from diseases, such as heart disease. Moreover, exercise makes our muscles and bones grow stronger. With stronger muscles and bones, some pains like back pain or knee pain go away.



B. it is always easy to do



D. something comes out from our brains

Exercise is important not only for our bodies, but also for our minds.

When we exercise, our brains give out a substance that makes us feel great.

After exercise, our minds become clearer so that we can work faster in the daytime and sleep better at night.

1

Exercise makes us feel good about ourselves, too. Doing regular exercise improves our appearance as it helps us burn fat and keeps us in good shape. When we become fit and healthy, we have greater confidence.

What’s more, group exercise like team sports improves our relationship with people. It gives us chances to play together so that we can learn how to get along with others better.
