5. This is an excerpt from an article about winter sports. Read the text and answer the following
questions: (25 points)

Ahh, winter! Shorter days. Frigid temperatures. Foul weather. What better time to be outdoors?
Winter sports can help you burn calories, increase your cardiovascular fitness, and strengthen muscles.
Activities that are weight-bearing (like cross country skiing or skating) help build stronger and denser
bones. Being outdoors and getting exercise are great for your mental health. Exercise boosts mood, and
sunlight seems to help beat back the winter blues. So slap on some sunblock (yes, you'll need it!) and go.
If you're not a winter sports lover and need some convincing, there's this: staying in shape during the
winter gets you physically ready for springtime activities (and wardrobes). Winter is a great time to
experiment with new sports. The trick is to find one that matches your interests and natural abilities. If
you like to walk, keep walking -on snowshoes. If you want to try an endurance sport, go for cross-country
skiing. And snowboarding is just plain fun. Alpine (downhill) skiing isn't as hard as it used to be -shorter,
lightweight, curved skis make any beginner feel like an Olympian. These newer skis - along with another
type of equipment called ski boards, which are even shorter than skis help you control your speed and
body movements. (Source: www.teanshealth.org)
