答案：
作者在觀看殘疾運動員的表演后，充分認識到運動對人的好處。當然，運動并不一定為了成為有競爭力的運動員，但它可以強身健體，降低疾病的發生率。除了運動外，健康的生活方式也需要良好的飲食習慣。
41. b。 寫作目的題。根據最后一段“so let’s all get out there and do some exercise!”可知，作者的寫作目的是號召大家運動起來，因此選b項。
42. d。 猜測詞義題。根據后面的“...which is confirmed by scientists.”可知，每日八杯水的作用已經被科學家證實了，因此選d項。
43. b。 細節理解題。根據第二段第二句“experts recommend that spending as little as 30 minutes each day on physical activities provides benefits including lower risk of heart disease, cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes and other serious diseases.”可知，a、c和d三項都是在描述運動的好處，而根據文章第三段最后一句可知b選項說的是水的作用，因此不正確。
