Section B: Comprehension Passage
Read this passage carefully and answer the question that follows
Benefits of Regular Exercise
Each of us has a physical body made up of muscles, blood, bones, and various other living tissues. When any of these is injured or not working properly, then we get ill. Nobody likes to be ill. So it is important that we keep our body healthy.
Exercising the body regularly is one way of keeping it healthy. If we do not exercise, then our muscles become weak and we are less able to do things properly. Also the bones can become weaker and we are less able to do things properly. Also the bones can become weaker and thus break easily.
There are many types of exercises that we may participate in. We may play badminton, Football, netball or whatever games we prefer. We may also jog, walk, swim or climb a mountain. Older people need to do less strenuous exercise.
Although we should exercise to keep the body healthy, there are some who overdo it and end up injuring themselves. It is fine to jog for a few kilometers. However, it is madness to jog until we are exhausted. There are also people who become addicted to exercise. They become unhappy when they are unable to exercise or when they loose to someone in a competition. This is even worse for good health.
Exercise is important. Lack of exercise may result in a weak body. Too much exercise is good. It is up to us to be sensible about exercising.
