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 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 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.
46. According to the writer, it is best to go cycling..............
A. once a week B. at least two or three times a month
C. at least two or three times a week D. every day
47. All forms of exercise must be started............
A. quickly B. gradually C. strenuously D. violently
48. People with back problems might go cycling because.............
A. it enables them to carry the weight of their body on their feet
B. it helps them to relieve their backache
C. it helps to make their backs become stronger
D. it does not make them carry the weight of their body on their feet
49. You should not worry about the shortness of breath because..............
A. it is a sign of exercise having the right effect
B. it shows that you should stop and take a rest
C. it shows that there is something wrong with your heart
D. it is a sign of your getting rid of your heart problem
50. Which of the following is NOT included in the advantages of cycling?
A. Giving you a stronger heart B. Increasing you strength and energy
