PROBLEM: Article: Mary went out at night. She never forgot the night when she met a robber many years ago. That evening, she was invited to a birthday party which lasted until two o'clock in the morning. Without company Mary walked along the quiet street. Suddenly from the shadow of a dark building a tall man with a sharp knife in his right hand ran out at her. "Good evening, lady," the man said in a low voice, "I don't think you wish to die here." "What do you want?" Mary asked. "Your earrings .Take them off!" Slowly Mary's eyes looked down. She tried to cover her necklace with the collar of her overcoat while she used the other hand to take off both of her earrings, and then she quickly threw them on the ground. "Take them and let me go." she said. The robber looked at her only feeling uncertain. He saw the girl didn't care for the earrings at all, only trying to protect the necklace. He realized the necklace would cost more. So he said, "Give me your necklace." "Oh, sir. It's not worth much. Please let me keep it." "Stop rubbish. Quick!"

"The Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world. We are very proud of it. " Soon I was interrupted again by his order "You don't say!"

Hearing this, the Englishman laughed to tears. He began to explain, "You don't say actually means really?

PROBLEM: Article: Walking is so simple and convenient that it couldn't possibly count as exercise, right? Wrong. Study after study shows that regular walking can help you lose weight and reduce your risk of heart disease. The study published in Diabetes Research in Clinical Practice shows that the blood pressure of the overweight men being tested improved and the amount of body fat greatly decreased. That's good news, because walking has now become the most popular fitness activity in the United States. Convenient, simple, and gentle on the joints, walking is perhaps the easiest form of exercise to maintain. According to a survey, four out of five women who start a walking program continue to walk, while half of women who attempt other types of aerobic exercise , such as swimming, drop out during the first few months. Here are some basics for walking exercise. Walk at a pace that makes you breathe heavily, but still able to talk. Your goal, first and foremost, is to walk five days a week, 30 minutes a walk. Do that, and you are getting the base-level amount of exercise that research says should maintain your health and vigor . Walk for as long as you are comfortable the first week, even if it is just to your mailbox and back. Each following week, increase that amount by no more than 10 percent. Start every walk with five minutes of easy-paced walking, about the same pace at which you do shopping, to get your body warmed up. Then, cool down at the end of each walk with another five minutes of easy-paced walking. This allows your heart rate to gradually speed up and slow down.
Question: Which of the following statements is TRUE about walking for exercise?
Options: (A) Walking five days a week, 30 minutes altogether, is the goal. (B) Increase at least 10% of the amount of each previous week. (C) Each walk should start with the pace of doing shopping. (D) Walking as much as you can in the first week is suggested.
