BIs it okay to keep exercising when you have a cold？What about the flu？With winter viruses going around. i
25、ts important to know how to alter your training if you do catch a germ or two. The guidelines are pretty easy. says Dr Lorenzo Masci from the Alphington Sports Medicine Clinic. Anything above the neck-so if youve got a cold for example, a runny nose or a sore throat-then you should probably cut down
26、 your exercise by half and do 50 percent of what you normally do. If youve got anything below the neck, like muscle pain, joint pain or fever, you shouldnt really exercise at all until those general symptoms settle down. Lorenzo says. He points out that a cough would also fall into this more serious
27、 category. For example, if anyone comes in with a fever and a runny nose, Id tell them to stop exercising until the fever and the muscle ache settles. Then they can start their training again at 50 percent once all those symptoms settle, even if theyve got a bit of a runny nose or a sore throat. The
28、 reason we tell people to stop exercising is because if you exercise when youre unwell it can make the illness worse and prolong it. There is a second reason Lorenzo advises his patients to stop exercising when they have below the neck symptoms. In the event you have an illness which affects your he
29、art, exercise can sometimes actually lead to death. Lorenzo advises to take zinc (锌 )and vitamin C as a way of preventing colds. But he admits that this is controversial-some studies have shown that these supplements can improve immune function while other studies have cast doubt on the issue. The g
30、ood news is that if you exercise regularly. youre likely to improve your immune function. If you exercise too much, it can predispose (使倾向于) you to coughs and sniffles. he points out. This is often the case for excellent athletes who train every day, such as triathletes (铁人三项运动员). But what we do kno
31、w is that if you exercise at a moderate level, your immune system improves such that youre probably at a lower risk of developing coughs and colds.41.

32、eople do exercises with a fever or a cough _ ？A. They should probably reduce their training time by 50%. B. They should stop exercising until they recover. C. They should start exercising at 50% after their runny nose settles. D. They should do half of what they normally do. 43. What is the worst re

35、rcises. CLeonardo da Vinci, one of the greatest thinkers in the world, began his career as an artist. Very little is known about Leonardos early life. He was born in 1452 in the town of Vinci. As a boy, Leonardo showed a great interest in drawing, sculpting and observing nature. However, because Leo
36、nardo was born to parents who were not married to each other, he was barred from some studies and professions. He trained as an artist after moving to Florence with his father in the 1460s. It was an exciting time to be in Florence, one of the cultural capitals of Europe. Leonardo trained with one o
37、f the citys very successful artists, Andrea del Verrocchio. He was a painter, sculptor and gold worker. Verrocchio told his students that they needed to understand the bodys bones and muscles when drawing people. Leonardo took the teachers advice very seriously. He spent several periods of his life
38、studying the human body by taking apart and examining dead bodies. While training as an artist, Leonardo also learned about and improved on relatively new painting methods at the time. One was the use of perspective (透视) to show depth. A method called sfumato helped to create a cloudy effect to sugg
39、est distance. Chiaroscuro is a method using light and shade as a painterly effect. Leonardos first known portrait now hangs in the National Gallery in Washington, D. C. He made this painting of a young woman named Ginevra deBenci around 1474. The woman has a pale face with dark hair. In the distance
40、, Leonardo painted the Italian countryside. He soon received attention for his extraordinary artistic skills. Around 1475 he was asked to draw an angel in Verrocchios painting Baptism of Christ. One story says that when Verrocchio saw Leonardos addition to the painting, he was so amazed by his stude
41、nts skill that he said he would never paint again. 46. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage _ ？A. We can find Leonardos work in the National Gallery. B. Leonardo thought his teachers advice was unreasonable. C. Sfumatois a method to show depth by using light and shade. D. Baptism
42、of Christmade Leonardo known across the world. 47. The underlined wordbarredin the second paragraph probably means _ . A. preventedB. protectedC. sufferedD. chosen48. Which of the following words can be used to describe Leonardo according to the third paragraph _ ？A. Stubborn. B. Creative. C. Ambiti
43、ous. D. Determined. 49. Which is the correct order of the things that happened to Leonardo _ ？ a. He finished the painting of Ginevra deBenci. b. He moved to Florence. c. He finished drawing an angel in his teachers painting. d. He began to learn art from Andrea del Verrocchio. e. He began to study
44、the dead body. A. b, c, e, d, aB. d, b, c, d, eC. b, d, e, a, cD. b, e, d, a, c50. What can we learn from the last paragraph _ ？A. Verrocchio didnt like Leonardos work. B. Verrocchio thought Leonardos work terrible. C. Verrocchio thought highly of Leonardos work. D. Verrocchio didnt believe Leonardo
45、 could paint well. DAs you are probably aware, the latest job markets news isnt good: Unemployment is still more than 9 percent, and new job growth has fallen close to zero. Thats bad for the economy, for course. And it may be especially discouraging if you happen to be looking for a job or hooping
46、to change careers right now. But it actually shouldnt matter to you nearly as much as you think.Thats because job growth numbers dont matter to job hunters as much as job turnover(人员更替) data. After all, existing jobs open up every day due to promotions, resignations, terminations(解雇), and retirements. (Yes, people are retiring even in this economy.) In both good times and bad, turnover creates more openings than economic growth does. Even
