50、格里填入一個最恰當(dāng)?shù)膯卧~注意:請將答案寫在答題卡上相應(yīng)題號的橫線上。每個空格里只填一個單詞。 Any time of the day you can devote to exercising is a good time for getting active,but if you want to make a healthy fitness plan, it may be helpful to keep several points in mind and find out the best time to exercise.

51、erson you are. Especially, are you an early bird who always wakes up early in the morning, or a night owl(貓頭鷹)who almost never goes to bed before midnight? Once you are generally aware of what your sleep characteristics are,you will understand better when your body needs exercise, either early in th

52、e morning,sometime during the day, or later on in the evening. Second, consider your daily plan. When do you seem to be most busy, and when do you plan your most important tasks?

If you do so and can get through the exercise without being pulled in another direction, make it a habit. And once you have set up your fitness plan, dont make any great changes to it unless your doctor allows you to.Intro
