【题目】Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature. However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment.

Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses(球场)in good condition. This causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.

There are many environment-friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don’t need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don’t have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control.

Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be “green gyms”. They are better replacements(代替物)for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it’s free.

1Which of the following is the author most probably in favor of ?

A. Working out in a gym. B. Cycling in a mountain.

C. Swimming in a sports centre D. Playing golf in the countryside.

2The author uses power walking as an example mainly because .

A. it is free B. it benefits our health

B. encourage us to go in for green sports

C. suggest taking up more sports to keep fit

D. promote some environment-friendly sports

【题目】 “Dont tell anyone”.We hear these words when someone tells a secret to us.1 Were often tempted to(忍不住的) “spill the beans”, even if we regret it later.

An earlier study, led by Anita E.Kelly, a scientist at the University of Notre Dame, US, suggested that keeping a secret could cause stress. 2 According to Asim Shah, professor in the Menninger Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Baylor College of Medicine, US, keeping a secret may well “become a burden”.This is because people often have an “obsessive and anxious urge to share it with someone”.

3 Shah explained that people often feel that it will help them keep a person as a Mend.Another reason people share secrets is guilt over keeping it from someone close to them.A sense of distrust can develop when people who are close do not share it with each other. “Keeping or sharing secrets often puts people in a position of either gaining or losing the trust of someone, ”according to Shah.

He added that talkative people could let secrets slip out.4 A quiet person may be someone who keeps everything inside.To tell such a person a secret may cause them stress, and make them talk about the secret.

Shah said that to judge whether to tell someone a secret, youd better put yourself in their position.Think about how you would feel to be told that you mustnt give the information away.Shah also recommended that if you accidentally give up someone’s secret you should come clean about it.5

A.But it can be hard to keep a secret.

B.Everyone intends to keep his own secret.

C.Now you may ask, what secret is that?

D.Let the person know that their secret isnt so secret anymore.

E.People with secrets can suffer from depression, anxiety, and body aches.

F.But with secrets so often getting out, why do people share them at all?

G.However, this doesnt mean that it is a good idea only to share secrets with quiet people.
