II. Read the text and choose the best answer for each question
Exercise can be fun!
Exercise has become a huge part of our world. There are gyms everywhere, but if you're not
keen on them, there are hundreds of exercise videos to choose from. Exercise is good for you. It
makes you feel better, look better and can help you live longer.
But what happens if you are the kind of person who would do anything rather than spend five
minutes on an exercise bike, including cleaning the house, visiting a boring relative or watching a
terrible TV programme? If you are that kind of person, you need a plan!
First of all, decide when you are going to exercise. Choose three times a week, like me. Write
EXERCISE in your diary, on your calendar, on the wall if necessary! Then make sure you do it.
Don't do anything else. I never make other arrangements.
Next, vary what you do. I went to the same aerobics class for two years! No wonder I was
bored! Now I use different machines at the gym, I often change my jogging route and I never do
aerobics.
Make exercise fun and find an exercise you enjoy. Why not play a sport, or join a dance
class? I recently started a modern dance class. It's great fun and I've met lots of new people, but as
soon as I get bored I'll find something else!
21. What is the writer's main aim in writing the text?
A. to describe different ways of keeping fit
B. to persuade people about the benefits of exercise
C. to talk about the exercise classes she goes to
D. to encourage people to take exercise
22. The writer ………………….. .
A. prefers to exercise at home. C. likes to do different kinds of exercise.
B. isn't keen on joining classes. D. doesn't like watching TV.
23. What does the reader learn about the writer's habits?
A. She exercises three times a week. C. She does aerobics regularly.
B. She often exercises with friends. D. She runs the same route every day.
24. What does she say about her dance class?
A. She sometimes finds it boring. C. She thinks some people are unfriendly.
B. She may not do it forever. D. She prefers doing sport.
25. The word in bold “It” in paragraph 1 refers to
A. gym B. video C. exercise D. bike
