Thanks to better health care， most people are living healthier and longer lives． Someone who is born today can expect to live about thirty﹣five years longer than someone who was born in the nineteenth century． It is even thought that in the future more and more people will celebrate their hundredth birthdays． Here are some rules for a health life．
Get off the sofa!
Sure， it is comfortable to sit on the sofa and watch TV． But doctors say you should get off the sofa． To keep fit， you have to walk at least 10000steps every day． In the past， people's jobs required more physical effort． They often had to walk for miles every day． When farmers were working in the fields， they were keeping fit at the same time． Think about it： Do you get the same amount of exercise today as they did in the past？
Eat healthy food!
It is important to eat food that is fresh and natural， for example， fruit and vegetables． Fast food is not healthy． You should only have itonce in a while． Eating too much of the wrong food will harm your health．
Rest while you can!
When we were babies， we slept for much of the night． Teenagers do not need as much sleep as babies， but it is important for you to get about eight hours' sleep a night． At weekends， you have got more time， so use it not just for your friends， but for rest too．
Do not worry， be happy!
Many people believe that happiness is important for our general health． Sometimes it is not easy to be a teenager because of the difficulties of school， exams or friendships． If you are worried about something， talk to your parents or your teacher．

On the bus, on the subway, every head is lowered to a cell phone, iPad, or other digital device. But does this mean more and more people are getting into reading the digital way?
According to the National Reading Survey, before the 17th World Reading Day on April 23, only 1.2 percent of Chinese people said they read a lot. But 38.6 percent said they read on digital devices like cell phone and e-books. This is a 17.7 percent increase from 2010.
Many experts are talking about a trend toward fragmented reading ––reading many short messages or items on a digital device like a cell phone instead of one long text in a book.
Zhao jianmin, a professor at Shanghai University, said fragmented reading was part of modern life. “The fast pace of life leaves many people no time to sit and read a whole book,” he said. “So making use of fragmented time to read is sure to be a trend”
Fragmented reading has its advantages. People can enjoy large amounts of information, knowledge and entertainment in a short time. Digital reading is faster than traditional deep reading.
However, some experts fear the trend of digital reading will lead people to read in a simple way. Xu Guosheng, at a Chinese Academy of Press and Publication, says fragmented reading makes it harder for people to think more about what they read. He also warned fragmented reading could make people lazy about remembering facts because they know they can always just search for answers online.
“Fragmented reading is sometimes good, but don’t let it take all your time,” suggested Tian Zhilng, an editor. He said it was important to read quality books in a deeper way, and we should read for knowledge, for practical use and for pleasure. He suggested people choose easy books first, then move onto more difficult ones. How many disadvantages of fragmented reading have been mentioned?
| A．1 | B．2 | C．3 | D．4 |
How does Tian Zhiling think about people should read?
| A．They should spend more time reading on digital device. |
| B．They should spend days reading whole novels at a time. |
| C．They should read both on digital devices and quality books. |
| D．They should read a fun way instead of a traditional way. |
The underlined word “pace” means _________ in Chinese.
| A．行走 | B．步骤 | C．节奏 | D．步测 |
