五、新素材 BMI纳入体育测试 (2025·常州北郊初级中学期中)阅读表达(10分)
Do you know what the body mass index(BMI,体重指数)is? According to the National Health Service, BMI is a measure(测量方法)that uses your height and weight to work out if you are fit.
Some cities in China have included BMI in the PE test for the high school entrance examination, or zhongkao. For example, Beijing in 2021 announced that BMI officially(正式地)became a subject of the PE test for zhongkao. Chengdu and Shanghai have also started similar actions. BMI in cities like Xiamen, although not included in zhongkao, still plays a role in regular PE tests.
Zhang Yanshu is a Grade 8 student from Beijing Chaoyang Foreign Language School. He used to be overweight. "It was this summer that I decided to work on my BMI," Zhang said. He started by running with his dad, and soon took a stamina(体能)course which trained him for different things like running, pull - ups and so on. "I think BMI and the event for the exam go well together. When I practise the events, my BMI gets better. I feel more energetic doing the events."
Zhang also paid much attention to his diet. "I ate brown rice instead of white rice, and chicken for meat most of time," he said. "It was for sure sad." His BMI reached a normal(正常的)level after four months of effort. "My health and willpower(意志力)have seen a big improvement."
