Along with jogging and swimming, cycling is one of the best all-round forms of exercise. It can help to increase your strength and energy, giving you more efficient muscles and a stronger heart. But increasing your strength is not the only advantage of cycling. Because you’re not carrying the weight of your body on your feet, it’s a good form of exercise for people with painful feet or backs. However, with all forms of exercise it’s important to start slowly and build up gently. Doing too much too quickly can damage muscles that aren’t used to working. If you have any doubts about taking up cycling for health reasons, talk to your doctor and ask for his/her advice.
Ideally you should be cycling at least two or three times a week. For the exercise to be doing you good, you should get a little out of breath. Don’t worry that if you begin to lose your breath, it could be dangerous and there must be something wrong with your heart. This is simply not true; shortness of breath shows that the exercise is having the right effect. However, if you find you are in pain then you should stop and take a rest.
1. People with back problems might go cycling because__________.
A. it enables them to carry the weight of their body on their feet
B. it does not make them carry the weight of their body on their feet
C. it helps to make their backs become stronger
D. it helps them to relieve their backache
2. All forms of exercise must be started__________.
A. gradually B. quickly C. strenuously D. violently
3. According to the writer, it is best to go cycling__________.
A. once a week B. at least two or three times a week
C. at least two or three times a day D. every day
4. You should not worry about the shortness of breath because__________.
A. it shows that there is something wrong with your heart
B. it shows that you should stop and take a rest
C. it is a sign of exercise having the right effect
D. it is a sign of your getting rid of your heart problem

Clothes can tell a lot about person. Some people like very colorful clothes because they want everyone to look at them and they want to be the center of things. Others like to wear nice clothes, but their clothes are not colorful or fancy. They do not like people to look at them. Clothes today are very different from the clothes of the 1800s. One difference is the way they look. For example, in 1800s, all women wore dress. The dresses all had long skirts. But today, women do not wear dresses with long skirts. Sometimes they wear short skirts. Sometimes they wear pants. Another difference between 1800s and today is the cloth. In the 1800s, clothes were made only from natural kinds of cloth.
