二、完形填空
Enjoy a wiggly (扭动、摇摆) workout (健身) for your brain and your body with hula hooping.
If you thought hula hoops were just a snack, you’re missing out an activity to keep you fit when you have fun. Hula hooping is very easy (once you get the hang of it), enjoyable and excellent for 16 up strength (力量), flexibility (灵活性) and stamina (耐力).
Make sure you get a good hoop that’s the right size for your body. Then find an area with enough 17 to practise. Your back garden or a local park are great but there’s 18 to stop you from hooping indoors if you check with an adult first—you don’t want to knock anything over.
Stand with your 19 slightly apart and one foot in front of 20 . Hold the hoop at your waist and give it a good 21 , then rock your hips (臀部、屁股) back and forth to start a circle. You might feel a bit silly 22 but the more you push forwards and backwards, the better your spin (旋转) will be. It’s tricky to begin with, but don’t 23 . A little bit of practice goes a long way. If you’re a beginner, a 24 hoop is better. This kind of hoops move more slowly so they’re easier 25 .
16.A.building B.putting C.getting
17.A.people B.space C.time
18.A.something B.everything C.nothing
19.A.feet B.arms C.knees
20.A.another B.others C.the other
21.A.push B.pull C.put
22.A.at first B.at last C.at once
23.A.stand up B.give up C.put up
24.A.bigger B.smaller C.lighter
25.A.control B.controlling C.to control

Cheese making dates back about 8,000 to 10,000 years. No one knows who made the first cheese, but it is believed that cheese making began when humans started taking milk from sheep.
