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) running 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.

举一反三
Living with someone helps ease your loneliness. Sure it may seem appealing to be able to play your music and turn up your TV as loud as you want, but coming home to an empty room every day can be depressing. If you have a bad day, you may want to talk to someone.
Friends are great sources of venting (宣泄), but friends can"t always be there. Even worse, they may be selfcentered and show no interest in your problem. It"s not that roommates aren"t like this, but even just small talk can help you feel better.
Having a roommate teaches you how to get along with people and settle conflict. You two should set up rules immediately and discuss what to do when there is conflict. If you two don"t like each other,you still study,relax,and sleep in the same room. You must find a way to get along.
Finally,having a roommate exposes (使接触) you to different ways of living. Your roommate may come from a different city,and have different living habits. He or she also has different interests and personalities. You don"t have to end up liking the same things your roommate does,but try to learn something different. You will be surrounded by many different people in college and have the chance to try things you never have before. Why not start learning from your roommate?
Having a roommate gives you the skills and personal background you will need to utilize (利用) when you are out on your own. Make the most of living with a stranger and besides,there will be plenty of opportunities for you to have your own room later in your college years.

The doll that every little girl wants enables young children to test their possibilities in role playing,giving them a glimpse of what they might be when they grow up,whether to be frivolous or serious (or both).
But in many countries that"s not an option. In Saudi Arabia,where woman can"t drive or go out publicly unless covered,Barbie is banned. They think Barbie dolls are offensive to Islam(伊斯兰教) and a threat to morality.
In America,she represents the swiftly changing roles of women. Barbie is fun to tease but she"s as American as miniskirts_and_pantsuits in her flexible identities and her “growth” from model to astronaut.
Barbie inspired a dollrevolution movement. When a Teen Talk Barbie was programmed electronically to say “Math class is tough”,she was criticized by a national women"s group and was regarded as a bad stereotype. Some of her critics also say she"s a bad influence because she"s too thin and encourages anorexia,that she has run through too many stereotypes(固定模式),and that she lends too much significance to the fantasy stages of child"s play.
In some Muslim countries, substitute Barbie dolls have been developed that promote traditional values,with their modest clothing and profamily backgrounds. They are widely seen as an effort to resist the American dolls that have flooded the market.
Toy seller Masoumeh Rahimi welcomed the dolls,saying Barbie was “foreign to Muslim culture” because some of the dolls have little clothing. She said young girls who play with Barbie,could grow into women who reject Muslim values. “I think every Barbie doll is more harmful than an American missile,”Ms. Rahimi said.
小题1:The writer mentioned “miniskirts and pantsuits”(in Paragraph 4) to imply that ________.
A.these are the only clothes a doll should wear |
B.these are very traditional American clothes for women |
C.there are a range of different life options available for women |
D.readers should wear these clothes more often |
A.an illness of refusing to eat |
B.giving up math study |
C.the wearing of inappropriate clothes |
D.a decrease in people"s imagination |
A.children who like Barbie dolls won"t be so serious when they grow up |
B.Muslim Barbies are the same as American Barbies |
C.Muslim societies are generally more conservative than western societies |
D.Americans have no worry about Barbie"s influence on children |
As we chatted away about our travel, I could hear people around us talked about 39 business meetings. It wasn’t long before I __40 that these people were used to flying in luxury. They are 41 people I thought.
We noticed that the stewardess(女乘务员)was working non-stop to ensure the 42 of the first class passengers. She could not walk by a seat without receiving a(n) 43 . I thought how much she must love her job, 44 she smiled kindly at each person while 45 to their needs.
As the stewardess walked by our seats near the 46 of the flight, I looked at her and said, “Thank you and I hope you’ll have a great night.”She stopped at our seats with a look of 47 , bent down, looked at me and said, “Excuse me?” I 48 my words and she smiled in a rather 49 way, almost as if I had asked her a question that she did not know how to answer. After a few moments she said, “I can 50 you work with the public.”“Why do you think so?” I asked. She answered very quietly, “Because you are the _51 passenger here to say thank you and I really 52 your kindess.
The sense of belonging to the elite(精英)group of people in first class 53 as we heard her words. Our seats in luxury offered us 54 a comfortable ride. We were reminded that without 55 we would be flying in no class.

What, therefore, is the purpose of foreign travel for people who are not on business? What do tourists hope to experience in a foreign country that they cannot experience at home? Why travel to foreign countries at all? The answer could be that people are very interested in the past. It is a nation’s history that is its main attraction. Most of today’s tourists travel overseas to find out what foreign countries and cultures used to be like, not what they are like today. The words “cultural tourism” are now part of the language of tourism, and it is the museums and works of art in many countries that are their main attractions.
If they are lucky—and have had sensible, strong governments—many countries also usually have at least a few beautiful places for tourists to visit.
Finally there is perhaps a nation’s greatest attraction: its people. A nation is not just its historical buildings, its works of art or beautiful places, it is also the people who live in it. This is why a country such as Thailand attracts millions of people every year. They come mainly because of the friendliness of the Thai people. It is why the Pacific Islands are also so popular. There may not be much to see or do in Fiji, but there are lots of friendly, smiling people to make visitors feel welcome.
小题1:The passage is mainly about .
A.the importance of tourism | B.different foreign cultures |
C.how to plan an overseas trip | D.why people travel to foreign countries |
A.are similar to one another | B.share the same aircraft |
C.do not have good hotels | D.do not offer a warm service to foreigners |
A.hotels | B.history | C.cars | D.programs |
A.visiting lots of museums | B.traveling overseas |
C.studying the history of a foreign country | D.tourists being interested in a nation’s past and ideas |
First of all, in terms of polluting the environment, driving a car is the worst act an average person can commit. Beijing now finds itself at the top of the list of the most polluted capital cities in the world with Mexico City in the second place. Research also shows that by 2010 around 90% of total pollutants in Shanghai have come from cars. These pollutions are extremely dangerous to our health. They can damage the lungs, cause cancer, and damage the brain.
Apart from environmental problems, relying too much on cars also creates social problems such as traffic jams, road accidents, and noise pollution. The jeeps that proudly drive through the Hutongs in Beijing as if they are in a race often annoy me, and to make it worse, these drivers seldom respect cyclists.
Of course, we cannot forget the convenience that cars bring us when we need to travel far, but I often find it faster to cycle from one place to another within the city of Beijing, especially with the growing traffic jams.
Since people travel further and more frequently than before, cars will certainly be important in the future. At the same time, however, let us work hard to make sure that this invention brings us a more convenient lifestyle rather than trouble and disease. Let us make good use of cars.
小题1:What is this passage mainly about?
A.Environmental problems. |

C.do something good and meaningful |

A.The author doesn’t want a car. |
B.The author agrees that a car offers freedom to travel. |
C.The author suggests that we should rely on bicycles. |
D.The author thinks that the invention of cars leads to many problems. |
A.The author is troubled by the way jeeps are driven in the Hutongs of Beijing. |
B.The author thinks that Hutongs are too narrow for jeeps to drive through. |
C.The author thinks that the jeeps are too noisy. |
D.The author is worried that more accidents are caused by jeeps than any other cars. |
A.Cars are only convenient for people traveling far. |
B.We should all give up cars and ride bicycles. |
C.Cars have brought us more convenience than troubles. |
D.We should choose between the car and the bicycle according to the situation. |
