2019届江西省重点中学盟校高三第一次联考英语试题

W: I thought about it, but I decided to take some classes over the summer. I want to get a head start on my studies.

M: It sounds like we’ll both be busy. I hope we can still hang out. W: Of course. I always make time for my friends. Text 10

W: I really must get on my exercise bike. I have a rule that every day I must burn off 300 calories on the bike. It keeps me fit and makes me feel happy. Some people might think that sounds like a piece of cake but the problem is that I have to force myself to do it. 300 calories only equals one bar of chocolate, but it takes at least 40 minutes of ridingon my bike at home to burn off that much. It’s hard work and I get very sweaty in the process. Before I get on the bike, I have to do battle with myself first. I find my mind thinking of other things I need to do — water the plants, check the post, read the news, wash some vegetables —anything but exercise. If I had to go out to a gym for exercise, I don’t think I would ever arrive there. Some people say they listen to music to make their exercise pass more quickly. I find that too boring. However, lately I have found something to aid my bike routine. Taking pictures is my hobby, so now I watch photography videos on my laptop while I exercise. It takes some of the pain out of keeping fit and I’m also improving my camera skills.

If I don’t do exercise for some days, I will feel guilty for myself.Without exercise, my life wouldn’t be so joyful.
