When Dave was eighteen, he bought a secondhand car for 200 so that he could travel to and from work more ____ than by bus. It worked quite well for a few years, but then it got so old, and it was costing him so much in repairs that he decided that he had better ____ it.

He asked among his friends to see if anyone was particularly ____ to buy a cheap car, but they all knew that it was falling to pieces, so none of them had any desire to buy it. Dave's friend Sam saw that he was ____ when they met one evening, and said, “What's up, Dave?” Dave told him, and Sam answered, “Well, what about advertising it in the paper? You may ____ more for it that way than the cost of the advertisement!” Thinking that Sam's ____ was sensible(合理的), he put an advertisement in an evening paper, which read “For sale: small car, uses very little petrol, only two owners. Bargain at 50.”

For two days after the advertisement first appeared, there was no ____. But then on Saturday evening he had an enquiry. A man rang up and said he would like to ____ him about the car. “All right,” Dave said, feeling happy. He asked the man whether ten o'clock the next morning would be ____ or not. “Fine,” the man said, “and I'll ____ my wife. We intend to go for a ride in it to ____ it.”

The next morning, at a quarter to ten, Dave parked the car in the square outside his front door, ____ to wait there for the people who had ____ his advertisement. Even Dave had to ____ that the car really looked like a wreck(残骸). Then, soon after he had got the car as clean as it could be, a police car stopped just behind him and a policeman got out. He looked at Dave's car and then said, “Have you reported this ____ to us yet, sir?”

What was your favorite sport during your childhood? Maybe running around the playground or jumping rope for hours would bring you pleasure. At that time you weren’t thinking of health, you were just thinking of entertainment(娱乐). But in this age of high-tech home equipment, the simple joy of jumping rope has been forgotten. I think rediscovering it probably will give you a total-body exercise.

Although considered an excellent form of exercise, jumping rope has never been widely accepted because of two reasons. First, most people consider jumping rope to be an excellent form of cardiovascular (心血管的) exercise, but they also believe that it is simply too difficult. In other words, they don’t think they’ll be able to continue jumping for the near 20 minutes in order to achieve a beneficial physical effect. Second, many people regard it as a little boring and overly repetitive —not as something fun or enjoyable.

As a matter of fact, jumping rope can be great fun as long as you find proper ways to practice it. Instead of doing the usual two-foot bounce(跳) over and over again, players good at rope-jumping often change their pattern every 10 or 20 jumps. A single bounce, a double –bounce, a skip, a knee-up, side swings, as well as a variety of other easy-to-learn free-style rope-jumping .

Nowadays researchers are discovering that jumping rope also prepares the brain for learning. It is an exercise allowing both brain hemispheres（半球）to perform equally to each other . In a word, jumping rope can be a life-long activity requiring little equipment, time and space, yet leading to a much healthier life.

1.One reason that can explain why rope jumping has not spread widely is that_____.

A. it is believed to be boring and repetitive

B. it is too difficult for people to learn to jump

C. it benefits the cardiovascular system

D. it requires little equipment, time and space

2.The first sentence in Paragraph 3 implies that in rope jumping .

A. there is only one proper way to follow

B. the usual way should not be used again

C. the easiest way is always the best one

D. there are different kinds of ways to follow

3.According to the researchers, jumping rope .

A. only prepares the brain for learning

B. is suitable for students only

C. helps both brain hemispheres work together

D. can be dangerous for old people

4.What is the author’s attitude towards rope jumping?

A. He strongly argues against it.

B. He is sitting on the fence of it .

C. He is for it.

D. He knows little about it .

 

A campaign(活动) is being launched to encourage children to surrender 30 minutes of screen time a day to head for the great outdoors.

The newly formed Wild Network—a collaboration of nearly 400 organizations—is attempting to attract youngsters away from television and computer screen and to fields, woods and parks. Members of the network include the National Trust, RSPB, Play England and the NHS. Organizers say it is the UK’s biggest ever campaign to reconnect children with nature and outdoor play, and claim it could help improve fitness, mental alertness(机敏) and general wellbeing.

A documentary film, Project Wild Thing, will forecast the launch at more than 50 cinemas across the UK from Friday. It looks at the increasing link between children and nature.

Andy Simpson, chairman of the Wild Network, said, “The tragic truth is that kids have lost touch with nature and the outdoors in just one generation. Time spent outdoors is down, roaming(漫步) ranges have fallen largely, activity levels are declining and the ability to identify common species has been lost.”

Suggestions of how to get more time in nature include collecting conkers(七叶树果), camping or snail racing, and observing autumn colour on trees.

From January, the network will aim to make suggestions to politicians on how government can do more to get children muddy and bright-eyed.

This is not the first time the message of less screen, more play has been brought up. Children in the 1980s were requested to do the same by the BBC TV series Why Don’t You, which somewhat confusingly called on its viewers to “switch off your TV set and go to do something less boring instead”.

1.What does the underlined word “surrender” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?

A. Give up B. Get around

C. Take up D. Run away

2.For what purpose is the Wild Network organized?

A. To make children read more books.

B. To help children distinguish(辨别) the natural world.

C. To encourage children to participate in outdoor activities.

D. To get children out of too much homework from school.

3.According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?

A. The outdoors can be beneficial to children’s wellbeing.

B. The Network advocates(提倡) keeping children’s distance from TV.

C. It is the first time for less screen, more play to be brought up.

D. The government should do more to get children to go outdoors.

4.Which of the following shows that kids have lost touch with nature and the outdoors?

A. Time spent outdoors is less and activity levels are down.

B. Chances of travelling abroad are fewer and fewer.

C. Time spent on the study is decreasing.

D. The ability to identify common species has been improved.

5.Which is confusing according to the passage?

A. Government took measures to get children muddy and bright-eyed.

B. A BBC TV series called on its viewers to shut off their TV sets.

C. More children went out to keep in touch with nature.

D. Wild Network launched a campaign to encourage children to go outdoors.

As digital technology increasingly controls the lives of young people, scientists have begun to wonder: Is the Internet good or bad for kids?

“It’s impossible to answer that question because the Internet is so many things,” says psychologist Patricia Greenfield. “It’s networked computer games and news about politics and instant messaging and e-mails to your grandmother. It can be both an educational resource and a hiding place for kidnappers.”

Adults have many reasons to worry about kids’ Internet use. In chat rooms, for instance, it is easy to lie and kids can get trapped in dangerous situations. In searching for and visiting websites, kids can come across words and pictures that they may not be prepared for. To help prevent that situation, in 2000, the US Congress passed the Children’s Internet Protection Act, which requires schools to block offensive and obscene（淫秽的）websites.

Researches have pointed out how confusing the Internet can be for children, even when they think they know how it works. To find out how much kids know about the technology, Zheng Yan, an educational professor in New York, interviews over 300 students in grades four to eight. Most of the youngest students think the Internet is simply an icon (图标) on the screen. It often isn’t until 10 that kids realize that the Internet is a network of millions of computers. It takes another 2 or 3 years for them to understand that a stranger can see what they’ve posted.

Understanding the technology helps kids understand how dangerous the web can be. It’s not simply enough to block harmful websites or to limit the number of hours kids spend online. Learning about the Internet can also give young people the power to use it in beneficial ways.

1.By saying “the Internet is so many things”, Patricia Greenfield means that ______.

A. computer technology is hard for people to master

B. computers have more disadvantages than expected

C. computers have more advantages than expected

D. computers bring advantages as well as disadvantages

2.According to the Children’s Internet Protection Act passed in 2000, ______.

A. children are not allowed to go online at schools

B. schools must watch students’ behavior all the time

C. children must be prevented from having access to unhealthy websites

D. it is against the law to search for unhealthy information online

3.In the mind of very young children, the Internet is ______.

A. harmful B. simple

C. a complicated network D. a news source

4.What might be talked about in the following paragraph?

A. How to protect children against the danger of the Internet.

B. How to use the Internet for beneficial purposes.

C. What the public think of the Children’s Internet Protection Act

D. How the Children’s Internet Protection Act was passed.
