Unit 2 Be sporty, be healthy Section 1 Welcome to the unit & Reading Ⅰ. 话题拓展阅读。[2025南通海安期中] Everyone has their own way to “recharge” their sense of well being—something that makes them feel good physically, emotionally, and spiritually even if they aren't consciously aware of it. Personally, I know that few things can improve my day as quickly as a walk around the block or even just getting up from my desk and doing some push ups.① A hike through the woods is ideal when I can make it happen. But that's me. It's not simply that I enjoy these activities but also that they make me feel better and clear my mind. Mental health and physical health are closely connected. No kidding—what's good for the body is often good for the mind. Knowing that what you can do physically has this effect for you will change your day and your life.② Physical activity has many mental health benefits. These have been published in the journal Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans and include improved brain health and cognitive function—the ability to think, if you will, a reduced risk of tension and worry, improved sleep and overall quality of life. Although not a cure for all, increasing physical activity directly contributes to improved mental health and better overall health and well being. Learning how to manage stress and getting screened for depression are simply good prevention practices in daily life. Awareness is especially important at this time of year, when disruptions to healthy habits and choices can be more likely and more annoying.③ Shorter days and colder temperatures have a way of breaking up the normal life—as do the holidays, with both their joys and stresses. When the rich sunshine and clear skies of temperate(温和的) months give way to terrible weather, less daylight, and festive gatherings, it may happen unconsciously or seem natural to be less physically active. However, that tendency is just why it's so important that we are ever more mindful of our physical and emotional health and how we can maintain both at this time of year.④ 一、 阅读短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 ( ) 1.
