(答案→)C
解析：
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明性的文章。人们常常会忽视身体对情绪的影响。锻炼可以使人们快乐起来。锻炼也能使人增强信心，树立起自尊心。同时也告诉读者如果想要得到锻炼的好处，应该在于经常锻炼而不在于锻炼的强度。
最后一段点出文章主旨大意。本篇难度：中等。
【小题1】把握句子间的逻辑关系。根据下文find yourself balming work pressures or an unknown future可知这里人的情感为unhappy, 表示不快乐，不高兴的心理，所以选择unhappy。
【小题2】利用上下文的语境。根据下文的“like a new personal running record or a better body shape”可知这里是通过锻炼来改善情绪，由此推知本空D项正确。
【小题3】把握句内的逻辑关系。本句中后面的内容有两个1)一个个人跑步记录 2) 更好的体型。也就是进行锻炼要有明确的(clear)目标，另外，下句的particular goal(特定的目标)也在提示这层意思，由此推断A为正确选项。
【小题4】根据生活常识和上下文推断。“锻炼强身”这是人人都知道的事实，身体好了，信心就会得到增强。同时，本句中的a particular goal makes you feel good也可以印证常识的正确性，所以本题答案为C。
【小题5】固定搭配。build up建立；增强；tear down 拆毁； set aside 把…放在一边；give out 释放。build up one’s self-respect 增强个人的自尊心，所以答案为B。
【小题6】利用上下文的语境。根据下文中的intensity of your exercise 锻炼的强度，可知答案为A。train hard 拼命锻炼。本句意为“你不用太拼命的锻炼来感受运动带来的对身体的好处。”
【小题7】利用上下文的语境。本句意为“关键是锻炼的频率而不是锻炼的强度。”下文中的30 minutes five times per week 所表达的是动作发生的频率。Time 时间；length 长度；form 形式；frequency 频率。
