　　Molly : Hey, how is it going?

　　Gordon: Not bad.

　　Molly : I heard that you got into college. You must be very excited.

　　Gordon: Its no big deal. I am an American student going to college. It is much easier to go to college in the U.S. than in China.

　　Gordon: Yes, we must take an entrance exam, but it is much easier than the Chinese one. We usually only need to study for a few weeks.

　　美國人很喜歡做運動。人們相信運動會對健康很有好處，而且會讓他們看起來更有魅力，因為美國人認為健康就是美。下面是幾種運動方式：

　　1) Running: Many people think this is the best type of exercise, because it is very simple and can be done anywhere. Running is a very good way to lose weight and to stay healthy. It is important that you remember to wear good running shoes when you run; otherwise, you can injure your knees. You should also run in the morning, because the air is the cleanest at this time. This helps to protect your lungs. You should not run outside if the air pollution is serious where you live.

　　1)跑步：很多人認為跑步是最好的運動方式，因為它簡單、方便、而且還是一種很好的減肥和保健方式。跑步的時候要記住穿一雙好的跑鞋，這很重要，否則很可能弄傷自己的膝蓋。應該在早晨跑步，因為早晨的空氣最清新，對保護肺部有好處。如果住宅周圍的空氣污染很嚴重，就不要出去跑步。

　　2) Aerobics: This is another good type of exercise. Usually many people do this together. The teacher stands in the front of the room and the students mirror her actions. Often, Aerobics can be seen on TV. This is a very tiring type of exercise.

　　2)健美操：健美操也是一種好的運動方式，通常很多人一起做。老師站在房間的前面，學生在后面模仿她的動作。電視上經常播放健美操，這種運動很耗體力。

　　3) Weightlift ing: There are 2 types of weightlifting. The first is called free weights. These are weights that are attached to a bar. The person lifts the bar up and down. The second type is machine weights. These weights are attached to machines that the person uses to lift the weights. This is safer than using free weights. The results from both are about the same. Weightlifting is a good way to get big muscles. However, the weights are usually expensive. Most people join a gym in order to lift weights.

　　3)舉重：舉重分兩種。第一種是自由舉重。把重量加在一根杠桿上，上下舉動杠桿來鍛煉身體。第二種是機器舉重。重量加在人們練舉重的機器上。這種舉重比自由舉重安全，但效果是一樣的。舉重是練肌肉的好方法。但練舉重花費很大，大多數(shù)人為了練舉重而去健身房。
