Singer Liu Genghong is enjoying great popularity recently after posting online fitness
videos on TikTok. In the videos, he often works out to the fast-paced music of his friend
JayChou. Now his TikTok account has rocketed to 55 million fans and 53 million likes,
inspiring people’s interest in indoor exercise.
According to Pu Zhengning, a professor of Southeast University in Nanjing, the
COVID-19 has limited access to gyms and fitness centers, so simple aerobic (有氧的)
exercises that do not need equipment are perfect for people to perform at home. And that is
exactly the demand that Liu has come up on his social media platforms.
Since the COVID-19 broke out, the increasing downloads of fitness apps indicates the
growing popularity of online fitness. The number of fitness videos on the platform in 2021
increased by 134 percent, while followers of fitness trainers were up by 208 percent.
Wei Fang, a student at Shandong Normal University, is one of Liu’s fans. “My major
requires me to sit for a long time,” she said. “So how could I refuse a star singer as a personal
trainer? Besides, when watching the live stream, I feel like I’m taking exercise with friends,
which encourages me to keep going,” added Wei, who claims to have lost 3.5 kilograms in
just seven days and also have a more positive mood.
According to the 2022 Sports and Fitness Consumption Trend Report, the sales of yoga
and dance products have achieved fast growth since March. Along with social media plat-
forms, China’s sports governing body launched online games on April 28. Ding Dong, an
official with the General Administration of Sport, said: “The aim of the games is to inspire the
mass enthusiasm for fitness.”
Now it seems that “cloud fitness” offers a great choice to gym memberships. In the past,
aerobic exercises on TV were popular, and now it’s even easier to follow along and learn
from instructors on short-video platforms.

The tornadoes that recently struck the U.S. are some of the most destructive and deadly
in history. The death in Kentucky, the hardest hit state, reached 80 on Monday, with dozens
still unaccounted for. The scale of destruction and timing of the tornadoes so late in the year
— most tornadoes occur in the spring and summer — is fueling discussion about how climate
change may have influenced this deadly disaster.
“In my 40 years as a meteorologist (气象学家), this was one of the most shocking
weather events I’ve ever witnessed,” says Jeff Masters, at Yale Climate Connections.
“Watching these storms on Friday night, my thought was, ‘Is no season safe?’ Extreme
tornadoes in December. That was mind blowing to me.”
Unlike heat waves and floods, the link between a wanning world and tornadoes is
complex and uncertain. Scientists have several theories about how tornado behavior may
change. Tornadoes in December are possible. But it remains to be seen whether climate
change will strengthen or increase the frequency of tornadoes.
According to NOAA’s data, there has been a recorded increase in the number of
observed tornadoes since 1950, which experts believe is largely due to better technology such
as Doppler radar. There’s been no observed increase in the frequency of major tornadoes over
time. For example, 59 of the most severe F5 tornadoes in the U.S. have occurred since 1950.
But if the storm that destroyed Kentucky turns out to have been an F5, it will have been the
first since 2013 — bringing to an end the longest recorded period so far.
Nevertheless, “given the general influence of global warming on the atmosphere, it
makes sense that it should be having an impact on tornadoes too,” says Victor Gensini, an
extreme weather expert at Northern Illinois University. “Instead of asking: ‘Did climate
change cause this tornado?’ It’s better to operate under the assumption that climate change did
play a role,” he says.
While the science on climate change and tornadoes isn’t clear, meteorologists are
predicting that conditions benefiting tornadoes will continue this month. “I’m worried about
the rest of the year to be honest. I don’t think we’re out of the woods yet.” Gensini says.
5．What is one difference between the recent tornadoes and the ones in the past?
A．They hit only Kentucky. B．They happened in December.
C．They caused no deaths. D．They caught people unprepared.
6．What can be inferred in paragraph 3?
