Which do you think is the best way to keep healthy?

With the development of the society, people no longer worry about where their next meal comes from as they did in the old days. They become more and more concerned about their health problem. Different people come up with different views: eating green food, doing outdoor exercises or going to hospital for medical treatment frequently. As far as I am concerned, the best way to keep healthy is to develop a good quality of psychology(心理).

According to some surveys, nowadays, most patients are not physically sick but mentally(精神上) ill. They feel the burden on their shoulders is much heavier than others, so they can’t step out of the shadow(影子，阴影) of depression and sadness. They need to release(释放) their spirit to the nature.

Besides, if you have developed a good quality of psychology, you’ll become more sociable and thus more willing to play your part in the society. Joining in some keep-fit clubs or attending some travel agency, which by themselves are various versions of physical exercise, will benefit you a lot.

As a poem says, youth is not a period of time; it’s a state of mind. Everybody wants to keep young at heart because youth is a symbol (象征，标志) for endless energy and passion(激情，热情) for living.

Keep a good quality of mind, or keep a sense of humour, even if you are 80, and you’ll never be old.

51. According to the passage, in the old days, what people cared most might be _____.

A. food B. exercising C. clothing D. health

52. According to the writer, the best way to keep healthy is to _____.

A. have meals regularly B. do outdoor exercises

C. go to hospital frequently D. keep psychological health

53. The most probable reason for patients who are mentally ill might be ____.

A. burden B. depression C. sadness D. spirit

54. The best way to develop a good quality of psychology might be ____.

A. taking social responsibility B. exercising in a keep-fit club

C. going on journeys D. taking physical exercise

55. The key point to keep young is to _____

A. keep exercising B. keep a young heart

C. keep humourous D. keep a proper diet

B
