This Sunday in London, an American running phenomenon will hit the UK for the first time — and looks set to leave a mark. The Color Run? series, founded in 2011 by Utah resident Travis Snyder, who currently lives in Los Angeles, is a 5k with a twist: runners start in white clothing, and at each kilometer get caked in brightly colored powders (made from 100% eco-friendly and natural food-grade corn starch) thrown by volunteers.

Snyder, 35, previously organized rock climbing events but says it was having a child that inspired him to think of an event combining fitness and pleasure. So far, 600,000 people have already taken part in Snyder's fitness festivals across the world, from Sydney to Rio de Janeiro, becoming America's biggest 5k along the way.

What does Snyder think is its appeal? "I think sometimes people get tired of being so competitive," he says. "In a running event, the person next to you is the tool that you are going to compare yourself to; whether or not you run faster than them or they run faster than you. The Color Run still has running in its basis: people still get to be out and be active. But instead of it being an exclusive experience, it's an inclusive experience, where the people next to you are part of that."

The events attract a large population, including families and children, along with a higher proportion of women than most runs. For many, it is their first race and furthest distance. Synder's eight-year-old son has taken part in 20 of the races. "It's not a big deal because he doesn't think of it as 5k – he is just running and having fun."

In line with this theme of participation rather than competition, there are no praises for coming first. If runners want to get a result, they will have to track it themselves, as it is not officially timed. And, needless to say, the finish line is one big party – before the clean up begins.

1.Those ________ can join in the Color Run.

A. whose ages are more than 8 B. who wear colorful clothes

C. who are good at running D. who dress in white

2.What contributed to Travis Snyder’s founding the fitness festival?

A. Competitive society.

B. Being a father.

C. Love among families and children.

D. Having a lifestyle mentally and physically.

3.The Color Run series main aim is to ________.

A. reduce people’s stress B. find the fastest runners

C. combine health and fun D. have a big party for every family

4.Why does the author mention Snyder’s eight-year-old son in Paragraph 4?

A. To show Snyder’s love for his son.

B. To prove the son was good at running.

C. To tell us how the son covers his furthest distance.

D. To argue the activity gains popularity whatever age.

“I like photography because it captures amazing things that you might not see again,” Timmy Walsh says. He takes pictures of flowers, sunsets and road signs. But those photos don’t usually end up in a scrapbook(剪贴簿) or on his bedroom walls.

When Timmy was five, he found out that his aunt Bev had lung cancer. He wanted to do something to help her. His first idea was to sell his photos from a lemonade--type stand in front of his house in Pennsylvania. “My mom said it wouldn’t work because we were not on a busy street,” Timmy explains.

His next idea was to have an art show. Timmy decorated his home with candles, flowers, and white lights. Then he arranged his photos. Timmy’s mom, Sheila, remembers: “Our dining-room table was filled, the living room—everything was filled with photos.” Friends, family, and Timmy’s teachers came to the show. He raised more than $300 for cancer research that night. Aunt Bev was “very happy and excited,” he says.

After a local newspaper wrote a story about Timmy’s photos, a volunteer offered to help him set up a website. As people learned about his cause, called Camera for a Cure, Timmy began receiving invitations to sell his pictures at art galleries and fund-raisers. Since then, his work has appeared in more than 20 shows.

When Timmy is at a show, he greets each customer and talks about what he was thinking when he took his photos. And he always shares facts about lung cancer. Sometimes donations and sales are slow, but that doesn’t bother him. “It doesn’t matter how much money we made because we just raised awareness,” he says. Timmy knows that finding a cure for lung cancer will take time and effort. So Timmy will keep doing his part by shooting and selling photos of the things he sees.

1.Before Timmy started Camera for a Cure, he ________.

A. always sold lemonade in front of his house.

B. liked making scrapbooks by using his photos.

C. had developed a deep interest in photography.

2.What can we learn about the art show Timmy held at his home?

A. It was generally popular.

B. It cost $300 to organize it.

3.For Timmy, what’s the benefit of selling his photos at art galleries?

A. Raising money more quickly.

B. Improving his photographic skills

C. Exchanging ideas with other artists.

D. Increasing public awareness of lung cancer.

4.Which of the following can best describe Timmy?

Next time you need directions,maybe you can ask an ant.These little creatures are masters of navigation（导航）that some can find their way home whether they're walking forward or backward,according to a study in Current Biology.

Ants often travel long to bring back the food to their nests.But how do they know where they’re going?

Researchers went to Spain to mess with some desert ants.They found an active nest and surrounded it with barriers that forced the foraging（搜寻）ants to follow a particular path back home.Once the ants were familiar with the maze,the researchers would take them up,hand them pieces of a cookie and then put them back in a different location,one that required taking a 90 degree turn to get to the nest.

The research found that the ants carrying a small,easy-to-carry piece would run forward with confidence and were able to head on home.Some ants,however,would drop the cookie and turn around to take a look at the scenery, which allowed the six-legged experts to reset their inner maps,catch their cookies and head in the right direction.

These ants seem to use sky clues,like the position of the sun,to keep them on track.When the researchers used a mirror to make it look like the sun on the other side of the sky,the cornered ants would turn tail for the opposite direction.

So ants integrate（整合）a lot of information to successfully bring home the food.

A. A nest that active ants live in.

B. An experiment that is done in the desert.

C. A method that helps to locate food.

C. To ensure they're in the right direction.

D. To check directions with their maps.

3.According to the passage,what probably helps the ants find their way home?

A. The position of the sun. B. One particular path.

C. A 90 degree turn. D. Pieces of a cookie.

4.Where does this passage probably come from?

C. A science magazine. D. A tourist brochure.

In America, when the eighth graders leave the middle school, they are often worried about moving to the high school. It is a hard time for them, but it can be an exciting one as well. To make it easier, students need to get familiar with their school.

Even though they’ve done this already in the middle school，it’s still important to find where their classrooms are. Most schools take students to the high school for a visit at the end of their eighth grade year. And, most schools also have a freshman speech for parents and students before the first year begins. Sometimes the main office will give away a map of the school. This can help students and parents to find different places in the school.

One way to know your high school more and make new friends is to join different clubs and sports. Fall activities begin in August before the first day of school. If you are not interested in sports, there are clubs for any interests, such as drama, dance, chess, photography, community service, etc. These clubs allow students from different grades. By joining an activity, students can find new friendship, not to mention improving their chant.es in future college applications. The school office will have a list of activities offered at the school and information on how to join them.

What’s more, to have a great start to a high school year, students can write down some of their worries, and ask for help from teachers and school workers.
