Little Steps, Big Reward
① More than 145 million Americans take walking as part of their exercise, according to a recent report. That's 15 million more people walking than last year. Many places in America have reported an increase in walking. But most of the walkers are found in big cities like New York.
② Despite the increase in walking, only about 30% of Americans say they have at least 3 hours to take exercise a week. Our society has been conditioned to be inactive. People rely on modern conveniences and become lazy. The inactive lifestyle has a negative aspect. We are more likely to be in poor health like overweight, which will threaten our life span. That's where walking comes in.
③ Walking is the best way to improve our health. Just 30 minutes of regular quick walking can help lose weight. At the same time, it can help lower the risk of heart disease and some cancers, and improve our blood pressure. If 30 minutes is too much, we may divide it into three 10-minute parts during the day. Most of us can find 10 minutes if we really try.
④ Walking requires only a pair of shoes and suits any schedules. Keep a pair of sport shoes at work. If you have a few minutes of free time, make use of them to take a quick walk. Even if you go to a health club several times a week, you can still look for ways to be active while at work. It may be walking downstairs for a direct talk rather than sending an email.
⑤ Small efforts can make a big difference. But the hardest part for us is getting started. It's usually like this. When people get to a comfort level of walking for 10 minutes, they might think about trying 11 minutes. That first step is really worthy.
1. Reports say that the walkers are mostly from_____.
2. Many diseases are largely caused by_____.
3. We can keep healthy by taking_____.
4. We can take a quick walk downstairs for_____.
5. When feeling good after a 10-minute walk_____.

【文章大意】步行一小步，收获一大步
① 根据最近的一份报告，超过 1.45 亿美国人将步行作为锻炼的一部分。与去年相比，步行人数增加了 1500 万人。据报道，美国许多地方的步行人数有所增加。但大多数步行者都在纽约等大城市。
② 尽管步行增加，但只有约 30% 的美国人表示他们每周至少有 3 小时的锻炼时间。我们的社会已经习惯了不活跃。人们依赖现代便利而变得懒惰。不积极的生活方式有消极的一面。我们更有可能身体状况不佳，例如超重，这将威胁到我们的寿命。这就是步行的用武之地。
③ 步行是改善健康的最佳方式。只需 30 分钟的常规快走就可以帮助减肥。同时，它可以帮助降低患心脏病和某些癌症的风险，并改善我们的血压。如果 30 分钟太多了，我们可以把白天分成三个 10 分钟的部分。如果我们真的尝试，我们大多数人都可以找到这10 分钟。
④ 步行只需一双鞋，适合任何时间表。带一双运动鞋上班。如果你有几分钟的空闲时间，请用来快速行走。即使您每周去几次健身俱乐部，您仍然可以在工作时寻找锻炼身体的方法。它可能是下楼直接交谈而不是发送电子邮件。
⑤ 小努力，大不同。但对我们来说最困难的部分是开始。通常是这样的。当人们步行 10 分钟达到舒适水平时，他们可能会考虑尝试 11 分钟。这第一步真的很值得。
