Exercise is good for you, but most people really know very little about how to exercise p【小题1】 . What do you know about exercise?

Some people think that in case you want to reduce the waistline, the best way is to do waist exercises. In fact, exercise burns fat from all over the body and not from one p【小题2】 of body. When you reduce the fat t【小题3】 your body, you will certainly reduce your waistline, too! Exercise only twice a week is not enough, because unexercised muscles lose their strength very quickly. After 48 to 72 hours, you must use the muscles again to keep good physical fitness. So if you have enough time, exercise every day is best.

Some people think that in order to lose weight you should alway“swork up a good sweat”when exercising. That is a w 【小题4】 idea. Sweating only lowers body temperature so that you won’t overheat; it does not help you reduce your weight. After exercise, you may weigh less, but this is b【小题5】 of water loss. Once you replace the water, you replace the weight.

Exercise is very important for everyone. It keeps us healthy. One of the best exercises is walking. Walking helps circulation of blood throughout the body, and it has a direct e 【小题6】  on your feeling of health. And if your breathing does not return to normal in minutes after you finish exercising, that means you have exercised too m 【小题7】. You’d better spend 20 minutes a day exercising, and that will keep you feeling good.

For millions of people, the American dream of owning a home seemed to be slipping out of reach.

“Maybe young couples can no longer afford to buy a ready-made house as their parents did,’’ says 40-year-old building instructor Pat Hennin. “But they can still have a home. Like their pioneer ancestors, they can build it themselves, and at less than half the cost of a ready-made house.”

The owner-builders came from every occupational group, although surprisingly few are professional building workers. Many take the plunge with little or no experience. “I learned how to build my house from reading books,” says John Brown, who built a six-room home for $25,000 in High Falls, New Jersey. “If you have patience and the carpentry（木工）skill to make a bookcase, you can build a house.”

An astonishing 50 percent of these owner builders hammer every nail, 1ay every pipe, and wire every switch with their own hands. The rest contract （承包） for some parts of the task. But even those who just act as contractors and finish the insides of their homes can save from 30 percent to 45 percent of what a ready-made home would cost.

One survey revealed that 60 percent of owner-builders also design their homes. Many others buy commercial house plans for less than $100 or use plans available from the U. S. Department of Agriculture.
