Even non-exercisers believe they would be more attractive and confident if they were more active.It is hard not to get the message. The virtues of physical fitness are shown on maga

Exercise as a part of daily life did not catch on until the late 1960s when research by military doctors began to show the health benefits of doing regular physical exercises.

Viewed biologically, the modern footballer is in reality a m
28、ember of a hunting group. His killing weapon has turned into a harmless football and his prey into a goal-mouth. If his aim is accurate and he scores a goal, he enjoys the hunters triumph of killing his prey.To understand how this transformation has taken place we must briefly look back at our foref
29、athers. They spent over a million years evolving as cooperative hunters. Their very survival depended on success in tie hunting-field. Under this pressure their whole way of life, even their bodies, became greatly changed. They became chasers, runners, jumpers, aimers, throwers and prey-killers. The
30、y cooperated as skillful male-group attackers.Then about ten thousand years ago, after this immensely long period of hunting their food, they became farmers. Their improved intelligence, so vital to their old hunting life, was put to a new usethat of controlling and domesticating their prey. The hun
31、ting became suddenly out of date. The food was there on the farms, awaiting their needs. The risks and uncertainties of the hunting were no longer essential for survival.The skills and thirst for hunting remained, however, and demanded new outlets. Hunting for sport replaced hunting for necessity. T
32、his new activity involved all the original hunting sequences but the aim of the operation was no longer to avoid starvation. Instead the sportsmen set off to test their skill against prey that were no longer essential to their survival. To be sure, the kill may have been eaten but there were other m
33、uch simpler ways of obtaining a meaty meal.（分数：12.00）(1).The author believes that sporting activities.A. are forms of biological development B. have actually developed from huntingC. are essentially forms of taming the prey D. have changed the ways of hunting（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(2).In a football game w

38、nd sea. Green makes us think of fields and trees. Red is the color of blood and makes some people think of danger. Black is the color of night.
