3、utdoors. (77) He was healthy and he had very little formal education. In 1950, Jim Thorpe was named the greatest American football player. He was also an Olympic gold medal winner. But Thorpe had many tragedies in his life. Jim had a twin brother who died when he was nine years old. By the time he w
4、as 16, his mother and father were also dead. Jim then went to a special school in Pennsylvania for Native American children. There, he learned to read and write and also began to play sports.

7、00-meter race. The decathlon has ten track and field events, with running, jumping, and throwing contests.

14、a gym and work out with a positive attitude. All one has to do is walk by almost any nice gym and notice all the healthy, sweating, “skinny“ members.

24、原文中，可以看出普通健身的人对他们的眼光，但是没有表明健身会所的态度。 D：超重的人在健身房必须付出额外的工作。该项在前两段未体现。 B 项：超重的人在传统的健身房经常感到沮丧，有被排斥的感觉。这一项可以在第二段的第一句以及第一段中别人对他们的眼光找到答案。 8.题干：为满足超重会员， 健身房的训练目标是什么？ 解析：选择 A.该题的答案可以从第四段第一句 “Trainers recommend functional fitness as a practical goal, rather than six-pack abs （六块腹肌） .“找到答案，训练的目标是功能性的，而不是为了六块腹肌。
