One of the best-known proverbs must be "early to
bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise." The promises of
health, wealth, and wisdom to those who join the ranks of the early retires and
risers must be particularly appealing to many people in our contemporary
society. There is no doubt that one of the greatest concerns of modern man is
his health. It is estimated that in the United States $ 200 billion are spent on
health care each year. The medical field has grown into such a big business that
it employs 4.8 million people, and it appears that in many places, more staff is
needed to meet the demands of the people who are concerned about their physical
well-being. Much more interest has been shown in preventive
medicine in recent years. This is probably due in part to the increasing costs
of medical treatment, but the writings of such people as Dr. Keneth Cooper have
also played an important role. In his book Aerobics. Dr. Cooper communicated his
message of the benefits of exercise so effectively that many other authors have
flowed in his trail, and literally millions of readers have put on their sports
shoes and taken to the highways and byways of America. A recent survey showed
that over 17 million people are jogging. Many of these are so serious that they
have trained themselves to run the 26 miles and 385 yards of the hard and tiring
marathons that are sponsored all over the country. The last time I was in
Honolulu, I was amazed to see hundreds of people, young and old, running for
their lives, and I discovered many of them have run in the Hawaiian
Marathon. Exercise has also become a major part of conversation.
A1 a dinner party recently, the president of a bank asked me, "You look like a
runner; how far do you run each day" A few days later when I appeared on a
national television show, the host suddenly asked me if I was a regular runner.
On both occasions the conversation turned to the subject of exercise and I
found, as I have found whenever I have traveled recently, that this is a subject
on many people’s minds. Of course, there are still many people who are less than
enthusiastic about exercise. They appreciate the philosophy of Robert M.
Hutchins who said, "Whenever the thought of exercise occurs to me, I lie down
till it passes."
The first paragraph indicated that medical workers ______.
A．are in great demand B．make a lot of money C．are concerned with their own health D．like sports more than ordinary people
