    I fell in love with England because it was quaint(古雅)—all those little houses, looking terribly old-fashioned but nice, like dolls’ houses. I loved the countryside and the pubs, and I love London. I’ve slightly changed my mind after seventeen years because I think it’s an ugly town now.

    Things have changed. For everybody, England meant gentlemen, fair play and good manners. The fair play is going, unfortunately, and so are the gentlemanly attitudes and good manners—people shut doors heavily in your face and politeness is disappearing.

    I regret that there are so few comfortable meeting places. You’re forced to live indoors. In Paris I go out much more, to restaurants and nightclubs. To meet friends here it usually has to be in a pub, and it can be difficult to go there alone as a woman. The cafes are not terribly nice.

   As a woman, I feel unsafe here. I spend a bomb on taxis because I will not take public transport after 10 p.m. I used to use it, but now I’m afraid.

   The idea of family seems to be more or less non-existent in England. My family is well united and that’s typically French. In Middlesex I had a neighbor who is 82 now. His family only lived two miles away, but I took him to France for Christmas once because he was always alone.

The writer doesn’t like London because she___.

  A. is not used to the life there now           B. has lived there for seventeen years

  C. prefers to live in an old-fashioned house    D. has to be polite to everyone she meets there

In the United States, elementary and middle schools are advised to give students two and a half hours of physical activity a week.

Yet many schools across the country have reduced their physical education programs. Criticism（批评） of the cuts has led in some places to efforts to give students more time for exercise, not less.

A study reported that life expectancy（寿命） has fallen or is no longer increasing in some parts of the United States. The situation is worst among poor people in the southern states, and especially women. Public health researchers say it is largely the result of increases in obesity（肥胖）, smoking and high blood pressure. They also blame differences in health services around the country.

A study found that only four percent of elementary schools provided daily physical education all year for all grades. This was true of eight percent of middle schools and two percent of high schools. The study also found that twenty-two percent of all schools did not require students to take any P.E.

Charlene Burgeson is the executive director of the National Association for Sport and Physical Education. She says one problem for P.E. teachers is that schools are under pressure to put more time into academic subjects. Also, parents may agree that children need exercise in school.

But experts say P.E. classes have changed. They say the goal has moved away from competition and toward personal performance, as a way to build a lifetime of activity. These days, teachers often lead activities like weight training.

Some parents like the idea of avoiding competitive sports in P.E. class. Yet others surely dislike that idea. In the end, schools may find themselves in a no-win situation.

1. . How many reasons have caused some Americans’ life expectancy to fall?

A．Three.

B．Four.

C．Five.

D．Six.

2.  The underlined part “that idea” (the last paragraph) refers to _______.

A．competitive sports

B．a lifetime of activity

C．no-win situation

D．uncompetitive exercise

3. . From the passage we can infer that _______.

A．physically active children have more chances to be fit when growing up

B．most American schools let students take physical activity enough

C．the older a student is, the less exercise he gets

D．not all parents think exercise is good for students

4. . The passage mainly tells us about _______.

A．school and students’ health

B．how to make children healthy

C．American schools’ physical education

D．American students’ health
