lt, they do not only look younger and slimmer, but feel better. Because of increased physical fitness, life expectance in the nation has risen to seventy-three years, with fewer people suffering from heart disease, the nation's number one killer.
Jogging ( 慢跑 ), the easiest and cheapest way of improving the body, keeps over 30million people of all ages on the run. For the price of a good pair of running shoes, anyone anywhere can join the race.

Above all, common sense should be the keystone for any dieting and exercise plan.

答案
6---9 CDBC
解析
本文讲的是节食与运动。6.C. 主旨大意题。慢跑和节食能使身体健康 , 但不注意方法 , 过分进行慢跑和节食 , 会带来身体损伤。在短文结尾句中明确提出 :( 慢跑和节食的 ) 某些常识很关键。
7.D. 推理判断题。根据第一、二段内容可看出 " 在美国慢跑和节食比以往任何时候都要流行"。
8.B. 推理推断题。根据短文的 "they do not only look younger and slimmer, but feel better."一句可推断出答案。 A 项内容是短文中已明确表示出来了 , 不符题意。
9.C. 主旨大意题。这四个选项都有一定的干扰性 ,A 项纯解说这两项运动 ;B 、D 项没有包括锻炼、节食两项内容 , 不全面。 C 项表示 " 身体健康 ", 短文就是围绕这一主题进行阐述的。
