the time: early morning, noon, and evening. There were little old ladies in gray sweats, young couples in
Adidas shoes, middle-aged men with red faces. "Come on!" My friend Alex encouraged me to join him as
he jogged by my house every evening. "You'll feel great."
Well, I had nothing against feeling great and if Alex could jog every day, anyone could. So I took up
jogging seriously and gave it a good two months of my life, and not a day more. Based on my experience,
jogging is the most overvalued form of exercise around, and judging from the number of the people who
left our neighborhood jogging army. I'm not alone in my opinion.
First of all, jogging is very hard on the body. Your legs and feet a real pounding (沉重的脚步) ruining
down a road for two or three miles. I developed foot, leg, and back problems. Then I read about a nationally
famous jogger who died of a heart attack while jogging, and I had something else to worry about. Jogging
doesn't kill hundreds of people, but if you have any physical weaknesses, jogging will surely bring them out,
as they did with me.
Secondly, I got no enjoyment out of jogging. Putting one foot in front of the other for forty-five minutes
isn't my idea of fun. Jogging is also a lonely pastime. Some joggers say, "I love being out there with just my
thoughts" Well, my thoughts began to bore me, and most of them were on how much my legs hurt.
And how could I enjoy something that brought me pain? And that wasn't just the first week-it was
practically every day for two months. I never got past the pain level, and pain isn't fun. What a cruel way to
do it! So many other exercises, including walking, lead to almost the same results painlessly, so why jog?
I don't jog any more, and I don't think I ever will. I'm walking two miles three times a week at a fast
pace, and that feels good. I bicycle to work when the weather is good. I'm getting exercise, and I'm enjoying
it at the same time. I could never say the same for jogging, and I've found a lot of better ways to stay in shape.
B. people jogged only during the daytime
C. Alex organized an army of joggers
D. jogging provided a chance to get together
B. back problems
C. hundreds of people
D. physical weaknesses
B. many physical problems result from jogging
C. not everyone enjoys jogging
D. jogging makes people feel greater

Students at Northwest Missouri State University have started spring term classes，but many aren’t carrying thick textbooks．Instead，most students are carrying a lightweight electronic tool that can fit into a coat pocket which holds the textbook material for all their classes．Some students will also download their text information onto their laptops．（笔记本电脑）．
At the university，textbooks are fast becoming a thing of the past．Besides taking a load off students’ backs，going textbook-free can save them a lot of money．The pilot electronic textbook program began in autumn with four classes and about 200 students．This spring about 4，000 of the school’s 6500 students will use electronic textbooks．
Textbooks publishers say many colleges are moving toward using some electronic textbooks，but Northwest's plan to eventually eliminate all printed textbooks makes it a leader in the movement．
“Right now，digital products account for（占）a small percent of our higher education business, but it is growing at a rate that is breathtaking（激动人心的），”said Jeffrey He，a product manager for McGraw—Hill Education
“But Northwest can only move toward a bookless campus as fast as the availability of e-books allows，”said Dean L．Hubbard, Northwest’s president．“Publishers don’t have all textbooks online yet．But I would think as a realistic guess we could be totally out of the printed textbooks business in three years”
The idea pleases Mike Jenkins，who is in the second year at the university．“ I think the whole idea is pretty cool，”said Jenkins．He used e-books in his history class during the autumn term“I would like it if we didn’t have textbooks at all anymore，”he said“You wouldn’t have the trouble of messing with hooks．The e-book is so convenient，and you don't have to carry all those books around．”
Also，unlike printed textbooks，e-books have interactive（交互式的）quizzes and the ability to search the full text within seconds for key words．
1．What is this passage mainly about?
A．Future laptops designed especially for students
B．Electronic textbooks that may replace printed ones
C．A comparison between printed textbooks and electronic ones
D．The advantages of electronic textbooks
2．According to the passage，compared with printed textbooks，electronic ones______．
A．require less money
B．are free for most students
C．don't need to be explained by teachers
D．will be used more widely in the world
3．The underlined word“eliminate”in paragraph 3 probably means______．
A．increase B．offer C．destroy D．remove
4．What is Mike Jenkins’ attitude towards the idea of replacing textbooks with e-books?
A．Critical B．Supportive C．Negative D．Uninterested
