Câu hỏi: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
My first piece of advice to people who want to start getting fit is: don't buy an exercise bike. Typically, people who buy them use them for a week or so and then forget about them. They are effective if they are used regularly but you need to be determined. Most people will find it much easier to go for a gentle jog around the park.
As well as being easy to do, jogging is also relatively cheap compared to most other sports. You don't need to buy expensive clothes if you're just going running around the park or on the beach. The main thing is that they're comfortable, and that they keep you warm in the winter and cool in the summer. There is one piece of equipment, however, that you will have to spend time and money on, and that's your running shoes. Remember that you are not looking for a fashion item, but for something that will support your feet and protect you from injury. They can be expensive, but if they are good quality they will last you a long time. It's always best to get expert advice, and the best place for that is a sports shop.
As for the actual jogging, the secret is to start gently, and not to do too much at the beginning – especially if you haven't had any exercise for a long time. Try a mixture of walking and running for ten minutes about three times a week at first. Once you are happy doing that you can then start to increase the amount you do gradually. After a few months you should hope to be able to run at a reasonable speed for twenty minutes three or four times a week. It's important that you feel comfortable with whatever you do. If you do, you'll start to enjoy it and will probably keep doing it. If it makes you feel uncomfortable, you'll probably stop after a short time and return to your bad habits. In any case, training too hard is not very effective. Research has shown that somebody who exercises for twice as long or twice as hard as another person doesn't automatically become twice as fit.

Đoạn văn đã khẳng định rằng ___________.
A. bạn nên bắt đầu chạy bộ thư giãn bằng cách đi bộ trong mười phút.
B. bạn nên cảm thấy thoải mái hơn khi chạy bộ.
C. bạn nên chạy bộ ba ngày một tuần và đi bộ vào những ngày khác.
D. bạn chưa chắc là sẽ trở nên thon gọn nhanh chóng hơn nhiều bằng cách chạy nhanh gấp đôi.
=> Theo thông tin cuối đoạn cuối như sau:
"In any case, training too hard is not very effective. Research has shown that somebody who exercises for twice as long or twice as hard as another person doesn't automatically become twice as fit."
(Trong mọi trường hợp, luyện tập quá sức không phải là có hiệu quả cao. Nghiên cứu đã chỉ ra rằng ai đó tập thể dục lâu gấp đôi hoặc tích cực gấp đôi so với người khác thì cũng không tự động trở nên thon gọn gấp đôi.)
=> Từ đó, có thể hiểu rằng tập thể dục cũng cần có chừng mực, mức độ phù hợp để trở nên thon gọn, chứ chẳng hạn bạn cố gắng để chạy nhanh hơn người khác gấp đôi thì chưa chắc là bạn sẽ trở nên thon gọn gấp đôi người khác.
