【题目】 You must have heard about jogging(慢跑)as a popular way of keeping fit, but what about plogging? Plogging is a mix of jogging and picking up litter, coming from the Swedish phrase "plocka upp". It started as an organized activity in Sweden around 2016 and then spread to other countries step by step. For exercising, plogging is much better than simply running, because it provides changes in body movements by adding bending(弯曲), squatting() and stretching(伸展).

As 2018's hottest fitness way, plogging has become popular in more than 40 countries, from the US to France and Australia to Thailand. The idea of plogging is to pay attention to environmental protection as well as physical health — to care for Mother Nature as well as your body. “I run a lot and I love to spend time in nature. When I find litter out in the woods, it makes me sad and a bit angry. Plogging is a natural way to do something about that,” Tesch said.“It’s so easy to just pick up the litter and put it in the nearest bin, and it makes you feel that you’re making a difference!”

Have you noticed people jogging while carrying trash bags recently? Or running along with hands full of dirty plastic bottles? You might do soon! Because plogging has reached China. Olivier, a Frenchman married to a Chinese girl, began promoting(促进)plogging in Huizhou, Guangdong Province, back in April. He and his wife were the only ones doing it at first, he said, but the craze soon caught on. The couple have set up a WeChat group for people to learn more about plogging. Currently there are more than 100 people from different parts of the country in the group to take an active part in the environmental movement. In honor of World Environment Day this year, the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China(中国工商银行)started plogging campaigns (运动)in 280 cities, attracting 13,000 people to join in.

Plogging can be done almost anytime and anywhere, and costs almost nothing. Will you take it up?

【题目】Do you think your school rules are boring? Take a look at these rules.

No hugging

Some schools in Portland and Florida started the rule---No hugging in 2010. Two years later some schools in New Jersey and Brooklyn made the same rule. The reason is clear—to avoid “unsuitable interactions(不适当的互动)” between students.

No bags into the classroom

One high school in Michigan doesn’t allow bags into the classroom at all. The school asks students to return to their lockers ( 储物柜)between classes for their books in order to make sure they are safe in lunchrooms and classrooms.

No Ugg boots

(Ugg 靴子)

It might get very cold in winter in Pennsylvania, but students there aren’t allowed to wear their Ugg boots into class. It’s to stop them from hiding things like mobile phones in the boots.

No balls

A Toronto school doesn’t allow its students to bring any hard balls to school. Why? A parent was taken to hospital with a concussion(脑震荡)after being hit by a ball.
