Not many people know that U.S. President Calvin Coolidge did not always live in the White House. Sometimes he lived in the nearby Willard Hotel.

Once, in the middle of a night, the President awoke to see a thief searching his clothes. Coolidge calmy spoke up from the darkness, “I wish you wouldn’t take that watch.”

“Why?” asked the shocked man.

Coolidged answered, “Take it near the window and read what is engraved on the back of it.”

The man read, “Presented to Calvin Coolidged, Speaker of the House, by the Massachusetts General Court.” He was very surprised!

“Are you President Coolidge?” he asked. He had never thought he would find the president sleeping in a hotel!

“Yes, I am” Coolidge said. Then he asked, “Why are you doing this,Son?”

The young man explained that he and a friend traveled to Washington during their college vacation. They spent all of their money and had no money to pay the hotel bill and the train tickets back to school.

Coolidge added up those fees. It came to $32.  That may not sound like much now, but it was a big sum then. “I’ll give you the $32 as a loan,” the President said, “And I expect you to pay me back.”

The youth thanked him. Coolidge left him with this warning: “Son, you are a nice boy, you are better than you are acting. You are starting down the wrong road. Just remember who you are.”

It wasn’t until after the death of Mr.Coolidge that this story was allowed to come out. It was first published in the Los Angeles Times. And the most interesting of all is that the President’s notes show that the young man was indeed better than he was acting. He repaid the $32 loan in full.

No one knows yet the accurate number of lives which have been lost in this terrible fire. But reports suggest that it is more than one hundred.

A wall of fire fifty feet high and at least one hundred and fifty miles wide is now racing towards the forests and rich farmlands of southern Victoria. Towns less than one hundred miles from Melbourne will be in danger unless the wind changes. People are rushing excitedly into the streets. The police have warned them not to see the fire but many people are doing so.

The cause of the fire is unknown. No rain has fallen in this part of Australia for three months, and the hot, north-west wind from the great central desert is blowing at more than thirty miles an hour.

The firefighters are traveling to the fire by road, rail and air. But it is not easy to get there. Flames and fallen trees have cut off or blocked roads and railway lines. The thick smoke often prevents them from finding the air strips (飞机跑道).

It is said that the fire has brought the greater danger to the country since the Second World War.

    A. has just broken out B. has been put out

  Just five minutes of exercise a day outdoors can improve mental health, according to a study.

   Researchers from the University of Essex, UK have found that as little as five minutes of a “green activity” such as walking, gardening, cycling or farming could help to improve mood and increase self-esteem (自信).

  Many studies have shown that outdoor exercise can reduce the risk of mental illness and improve a sense of well-being, but the new study, led by Jules Pretty and Jo Barton, was the first to determine how much time needed to be spent on green exercise for the benefits to show.

   Barton and Pretty looked at data from 1,252 people of different ages, genders (性别) and mental health status (情况) taken from 10 studies in Britain.

   They analyzed their different outdoor activities including walking, gardening, cycling, fishing, boating, horse-riding and farming in locations such as a park, garden or nature trail (路径).

   They found that the mental health changes were seen after just five minutes. With longer periods of time exercising in a green environment, the positive effects were more apparent.

   Looking at men and women of different ages, the researchers found the health changes were particularly strong in the young and the mentally ill.

   Green and blue

   A bigger effect was seen with exercise in an area that also contained water – such as a lake or river.

  “This is because historically we are drawn to water to survive and it is in our genetic (遗传的) make-up to be at one with nature,” the researchers wrote in their report.

   Pretty said those who were generally inactive, or stressed, or with mental illness would probably benefit the most from “green exercise”.

   “Employers, for example, could encourage staff in stressful workplaces to take a short walk at lunchtime in the nearest park to improve mental health.”

   He also said exercise programs outdoors could benefit youth offenders.

How is the study this article refers to different from other studies?

  A. It involved more people.

  B. It took longer to finish the research.

  C. It determined the exact amount of time needed.

  D. It was led by just two researchers.

What can we conclude from the findings of the study?

  A. Just five minutes of “green exercise” daily can help improve mental health.

  B. Gardeners and farmers do not need “green exercise”.

  C. Walking in a park with a lake will weaken the effect.

  D. “Green exercise” is not suitable for the mentally ill.

. According to Pretty, _______ would probably benefit the most from “green exercise”.

  A. stressed, inactive people B. office workers

  C. youth offenders            D. women and children

What is the main problem discussed in this article?

  A. Physical well-being.       B. Outdoor exercise.

  C. Mental illness.            D. Harmony with nature.
