1．Most families in Beijing love to gather in front of TV sets after dinner．But Gao Ning，husband of Huang Xiaoying，and his parents have better things to do．They clean the dishes，laze around （休閑） a bit，change into track suits，put on their sports shoes and leave home．
The 32-year-old man and his wife sweat it out on treadmills（跑步機），go through the severe conditions of a group exercise session or do some stretching exercises under the guidance of personal trainers．And his parents join a group of retired people，most of them in their 60s，in a nearby community park to dance to the rhythms of traditional music．They use the intervals to chat with other members of the group，sharing their joys and pains．
The Gaos represent a growing number of Beijing families that sweat by exercise，especially because of the Beijing Olympics'public fitness drive．Gone are the days when many people considered physical labor as the only way of exercise．More and more middle-aged and elderly people have realized the importance of regular exercise．
"Most of the people who join us for the group dancing sessions suffer from chronic（慢性的） diseases that need a certain amount of exercise as treatment，"said Gao Ning's mother Gao Xiaohua，"It's a place for us to kill time，too．"
"Paying 1，000yuan （﹩146）a year as club fees is a waste of money，"said Gao Xiaohua．"Besides，we don't need that tough exercise routine．"
Gao Ning said："I feel relaxed and sort of reborn after a work-out．Without it my days are gloomy and I feel tired．"
Gao Ning and Huang Xiaoying make about﹩30，000a year，and pay﹩200each annually for their gym membership to get personal trainers for an hour a day．
"It's money well spent，"Huang said．"After you get all the necessities，money，job and a house，you realize how important health is．Without health，nothing is meaningful．"

分析 大多數(shù)北京的家庭吃完晚飯后喜歡聚在電視前；但是越來越多的像高寧一家這樣的中老年人意識到定期鍛煉的重要性；老年人大多數(shù)都有慢性疾病；他們聚在一起跳廣場舞，既是鍛煉，又能消磨時間．中年人在在生活中的必需品都滿足之后也意識到健康的重要性，他們會花些錢，加入俱樂部，配請私人教練進行鍛煉．
解答 56．In their 60s．本題是細節(jié)題，根據(jù)第二段"And his parents join a group of retired people，most of them in their 60s，in a nearby community park to dance to the rhythms of traditional music．"中的"most of them in their 60s"可知答案是"In their 60s"．
57．They want to treat their chronic diseases and kill time．本題是細節(jié)題，根據(jù)第三段"Most of the people who join us for the group dancing sessions suffer from chronic（慢性的） diseases that need a certain amount of exercise as treatment，"說明是為了"treat their chronic（治療慢性�。�"；根據(jù)"It's a place for us to kill time，too．"判斷也可以"kill time（消磨時間）"
58．Work out for healthy life．本題是主旨大意題．文章以高寧為例，引出一個現(xiàn)象：越來越多的中老年人開始定期鍛煉（work out），并進一步分析定期鍛煉的重要性：for healthy life．所以本題的主旨大意是"Work out for healthy life"．
59．Doing physical exercise at the gym．本題是詞義推斷．原文中"Gao Ning said："I feel relaxed and sort of reborn after a work-out．""這段話是高寧在講述體育館鍛煉后的感受，他覺得"鍛煉（work-out）后讓他很放松，有重生（reborn）的感覺．"；因此本題答案是"Doing physical exercise at the gym"
60．I'm for it．Because regular exercise is good for our health．本題是開放性題目，關鍵在于表達自己的觀點同時恰當表述贊成或反對的理由．
點評 本文是有關運動健身的文章．其中有細節(jié)題，要從文章中找具體的依據(jù)；有詞匯猜測，要根據(jù)上下文語境推斷；有主旨大意題，要在整體理解文章的基礎上全面概括．
