英语听力文摘 English Digest 31、早班,锻炼上瘾

　　Yael: Hey Don, you're in pretty good shape, right?
Don: I guess.
Y: So you probably work out . . .
D: Well, I swim and go to the gym pretty much every day . . . Why?
Y: It's just that some people can become addicted¹ to exercise to the point where it does      more harm than good.
D: I don't think I'm addicted . . .
Y: Do you feel guilty when you miss a workout? Do you feel that you have to get to the      gym no matter what, even if it interferes² with other parts of your life?
D: I enjoy going to the gym, but I'm not that fanatical about it. It's just part of my daily routine.
Y: That's good. Because exercise addiction³ can disrupt your life. First, exercising too much can wear you down and sap your energy. And some people get so committed to working out that they'll skip work and school to hit the gym. They get anxious and jittery⁴ if they can't get in that five mile run or lift weights or whatever.
D: Wow. That sounds as bad as a being addicted to drugs.
Y: It's not that different. But because we generally encourage exercise and see it as a good thing, it can be hard to know if you have a problem. If working out is a regular part of your life, then great. Any doctor will tell you that it's important to stay fit. But when exercise is your life . . . that's not healthy--it's a problem.
