Want to join the online fitness program?
Online training is one of the fastest growing section of the fitness industry. A 2015 study
found that more than half of all smartphone users had downloaded a fitness or health app. If
you’re considering joining the online fitness community, consider these benefits and drawbacks.
There are many reasons that online training may work for you. As long as you have access to
pre-downloaded videos or a WiFi connection for streaming videos, you can work out wherever
you are.
Besides, compared with similar offline programs, most online fitness programs range in cost
between $10 and $20 per month. This is due in part to the wider audience and the greater
opportunity to sell programs to more people.
All this growth is incredibly positive — it provides health and fitness resources to the general
consumer wherever they happen to be, without requiring access to a gym or fitness studio. But it’s
not without problems.
The first thing to think about when considering an online fitness program is “know yourself.”
If you struggle with self-motivation, you don’t like exercising at home, and you prefer a social
workout environment, online fitness may not be for you. Not to mention the fact that very few
online fitness programs enable the instructor to see you, check your form, and offer modifications
or corrections based on your performance. This means you might perform exercises incorrectly, or
even unsafely, without knowing it, which is particularly concerning for beginners and those
recovering from injuries, as they’re more likely to perform exercises incorrectly.
Therefore, like any training format, there are pros and cons to consider when deciding if it is
right for you. Take time and make the most suitable decision to reap more benefits.

2．Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea
and the main point(s) of the passage. Use your own words as far as possible.
The Paper Architect
For a long time, Zaha Hadid was known as “the paper architect,” someone whose grand
designs never left the page to become real buildings. But in recent years her buildings have sprung
up like mushrooms all over the world: the Guangzhou Opera House in China, a car factory in
Germany, a contemporary art museum in Rome, a transportation museum in Scotland, and the
Aquatics Center for the 2012 Olympics in London.
Pinning down her individual style is difficult. Certainly Hadid has been influenced by the
modem trend in architecture that likes to play with the traditional shape of buildings and fragment
(分解) them, creating unpredictable angles and surfaces. Working in this way, she and her fellow
architects have produced some spaceship-like structures that seem to go against the normal laws of
engineering.
The idea of offering the viewer multiple perspectives from within the building is a theme that
runs through Hadid’s work. Her most famous building, MAXXI—a museum for the 21st
century— in Rome, is a great example. It is a complex and spectacular structure of interlocking
concrete shapes. Inside spaces interconnect Tike winding streets, so that the visitor is surprised
and charmed at each turn. The Rosenthal Center in Cincinnati produces a similar effect. Like an
extension of the street it sits on, it draws you in, with walkways directing you this way and that,
and windows inviting you to sample the view. “It’s about promenading” says Hadid, “being able
to pause, to look out, look above, look sideways.”
So what inspires someone like Hadid to produce such different buildings? She speaks in
complimentary terms about the work of her contemporaries. She also cites the natural landscape
and organic geological patterns as an influence. But it is not a question that she seems too
concerned with and nor perhaps should we be. Hadid is an artist, sharing with us her vision of
what buildings should be like and always, as she does so, trying to keep human interests—our
interests as users and viewers—at heart.
