However, it is not necessary to pump iron or have expensive equipment like rowing and cycling machines to stay fit.Not only is exercising vital for physical health, but it also has positive benefits on mental health. According to a study by Dr. Andrea Dunn at the Cooper Research Institute in Dallas, Texas, patients who walked daily for 35 minutes saw a 47% reduction in depression levels.Cardiovascular exercise, also known as cardio, is used to keep the heart rate up, strengthening the heart and improving general fitness.

专题限时检测(二十六)　任务型阅读(一)(限时24分钟)A(2019·南京、盐城一模)As the concept of emotional intelligence (EI) has gone global, we've watched professionals fail as they try to improve their emotional intelligence because they either don't know where to focus their efforts or they haven't understood how to improve these skills on a practical level.In our work consulting with companies and coaching leaders, we have found that if you're looking to develop particular EI strengths, it helps to consider areas for improvement others have identified along with the goals you want to achieve — and then to actively build habits in those areas rather than simply relying on understanding them conceptually.The first step is to get a sense of how your self­perception (how you see yourself) differs from your reputation (how others see you)．This is especially true for the development of emotional intelligence because we can be blind to how we express and read the emotional components of our interactions.For example, most of us think that we're good listeners, but very often that's really not the case.Without this external reality check, it will be difficult for you to identify the ways that your actions affect your performance.Getting feedback from others can also provide proof of the necessity of shifting our behavior and motivation to do so.To give you the best sense of where the differences lie between your self­perception and reputation, you should use a 360 degree feedback assessment that takes into account the multiple facets of EI.The key is to find one that guarantees confidentiality to those giving you feedback and that is focused on development and not on performance assessment.Secondly, when you get your feedback from an assessment, let that inform what you want to improve.But also consider what your goals are.When it comes to cultivating strengths in emotional intelligence, you're at a huge disadvantage if you're only interested because others said you should be.Your emotional intelligence is so tied up in your sense of self that being intrinsically (内在地) motivated to make the effort matters more when changing longstanding habits than it does when simply learning a skill.That means the areas that you choose to actively work on should lie at theintersection of the feedback you've gotten and the areas that are most important to your own aspirations (渴望)．Understanding the impacts of your current EI habits relative to your goals will keep you going over the long haul as you do the work of strengthening your emotional intelligence.Once you've determined which EI skills you want to focus on, identify specific actions that you'll take.If you're working on becoming a better listener, for example, you might decide that when you're conversing with someone you'll take the time to pause, listen to what they have to say, and check that you understand before you reply.Keep it specific.You should also take every naturally occurring opportunity to practice the skill you're developing, no matter how small.By starting to change your routine reactions, you'll be well on your way to figuring out the old habits that aren't serving you well and transforming them into new, improved ones that do.PassageoutlineSupporting detailsIntroduction Though globally acknowledged, EI still (1)________professionals, for they aren't aware how to improve it.Spot the(2)_______betweenself­perc­eptionandreputation·With external reality check, we are(3)_________ of understanding ourinteractions accurately.·We are (4)________to change our behaviorby getting an outside feedback.·We are expected to (5)_________ howself­perception differs from reputation inall aspects.Find out what(6)______ to us·We should clearly (7)________our goals andfocus our effort on improving ourselvesinstead of just learning a skill.·(8)________the outside feedback with ourgoals can give us support on the way tostrengthening our EI.Approachesto strengthening EIIdentify what changesBe (9)_________about the actions and take advantage of every possible opportunity towe will make practice EI skills.Summary (10)________useless old habits and develop new ones in areas forimprovement others have identified with your own goals tostrengthen your EI.语篇解读：本文主要讲述了提高情商的方法。

2020届高考英语二轮复习阅读理解细节理解类【分类真题】（2019年课表全国卷二，C）Marian Bechtel sits at West Palm Beach’s Bar Louie counter by herself, quietly reading her e-book as she waits for her salad. What is she reading? None of your business! Lunch is Bechtel’s "me" time. And like more Americans, she’s not alone.A new report found 46 percent of meals are eaten alone in America. More than half（53 percent）have breakfast alone and nearly half（46 percent）have lunch by themselves. Only at dinnertime are we eating together anymore, 74 percent, according to statistics from the report."I prefer to go out and be out. Alone, but together, you know?" Bechtel said, looking up from her book. Bechtel, who works in downtown West Palm Beach, has lunch with coworkers sometimes, but like many of us, too often works through lunch at her desk. A lunchtime escape allows her to keep a boss from tapping her on the shoulder. She returns to work feeling energized. "Today, I just wanted some time to myself," she said.Just two seats over, Andrew Mazoleny, a local videographer, is finishing his lunch at the bar. He likes that he can sit and check his phone in peace or chat up the barkeeper with whom he's on a first-name basis if he wants to have a little interaction（交流）. "I reflect on how my day's gone and think about the rest of the week," he said. "It's a chance for self-reflection, You return to work recharged and with a plan."That freedom to choose is one reason more people like to eat alone. There was a time when people may have felt awkward about asking for a table for one, but those days are over. Now, we have our smartphones to keep us company at the table. "It doesn't feel as alone as it may have before all the advances in technology," said Laurie Demeritt, whose company provided the statistics for the report.28.
