move," said David Belle, the founder of parkour (跑酷).
Do you love running? It is a good exercise, yet many people find it boring. But what if making your
morning jog a creative one? Like jumping from walls and over gaps, and ground rolls? Just like the
James Bond in the movie Casino Royale? Bond jumps down from a roof to a windowsill and then runs
several blocks over obstacles on the way. It is just because of Bond"s wonderful performances that the
sport has become popular worldwide.
Yes, that"s parkour, an extreme street sport aimed at moving from one point to another as quickly as
possible, getting over all the obstacles in the path using only the abilities of the human body. Parkour is
considered an extreme sport. As its participants dash around a city, they may jump over fences, run up
walls and even move from rooftop to rooftop.
Parkour can be just as exciting and charming as it sounds, but its participants see parkour much more
than that.
Overcoming all the obstacles on the course and in life is part of the philosophy behind parkour. This is
the same as life. You must determine your destination, go straight, jump over all the barriers as if in
parkour and never fall back from them in your life, to reach the destination successfully. A parkour lover
said, "I love parkour because its philosophy has become my life, my way to do everything."
Another philosophy we"ve learnt from parkour is freedom. It can be done by anyone, at any time, anywhere in the world. It is a kind of expression of trust in yourself that you earn energy and confidence.
B. the film, Casino Royale
C. its risks and tricks
D. the varieties of participants
B. objects
C. barriers
D. roofs
B. Excitement and popularity.
C. Dreams and success.
D. Determination and freedom.

hospital, just weeks before he hoped to resurrect (复活) his four-decade long career with a series of
sold-out shows in London. The pop superstar was taken to the University of California at Los Angeles
medical centre last night, and doctors tried resuscitation (使苏醒,使复活) in the ambulance. He did not
regain consciousness and was reported dead about three hours later.

at the time attempted to resuscitated him."
A spokesman for the UCLA medical centre said, "When he arrived at hospital at approximately
l:14pm, a team of doctors attempted to resuscitate him for a period of more than one hour, but they
were unsuccessful." Police said they were investigating, which is the standard procedure in such cases.
Jackson"s death brought a tragic end to a long decline from his peak in the 1980s when he was music"s
greatest all-around performer, a uniter of black and white music who shattered the race barrier on MTV. His 1982 album Thriller, which included the blockbuster hits Beat It, Billie Jean and Thriller is still the
best-selling album of all time, with over 50m copies sold worldwide.
The world famous entertainer had planned a series of 50 concerts in London from 12 July. Although

taking action to be prepared, you can lessen the impact of an earthquake on your family. Set aside
some emergency supplies, and teach your family what to do at home during and after a disaster. You
could be without help for up to 72 hours, so learn to cope for at least that long.
Movement of the ground is seldom the actual cause of death or injury. Most casualties (意外) result
from partial building collapse and falling objects and debris, like toppling chimneys, falling bricks, ceiling
plaster, and light fixtures. Many of these conditions are easily preventable.
Because earthquakes occur without warning, it"s important to take steps now to prepare, so that you
know what you can do and how to respond-constructive, protective action is possible.
Have on hand for Any Emergency- Ideas for Home, Workplace, and Car.
Because you don"t know where you will be when an earthquake occurs, prepare disaster supplies.
B. parents
C. the public
D. teachers
B. Keep away from high buildings.

is increasing by five percent a year. Urban noise is doubling every ten years. By air, land and sea, we are
facing an onslaught of noise that is threatening our ability to live in this world. We have granted ourselves
the right to make noise. But what about our responsibilities? Have we developed a sense of acoustic
responsibility?
The evidence suggests that we have not. Many people seem to believe they have an unlimited right to
make noise with cars and motorbikes, and with loud music at home and in the street. In some countries
measures have been taken to force people to make less noise. In Britain, for example, a law has been
passed preventing people from disturbing their neighbors with music at night.
It is widely accepted that we should deal with our rubbish in a responsible way. Noise is in reality a
particularly insidious form of rubbish. It destroys community life, pursues us into our homes, keeps us
from sleeping and is the cause of many stress-related illnesses, as well as hearing loss. Our acoustic
environment belongs to all of us. Everyone has the right to use it, but no one has the right to abuse it.
Let"s start using it responsibly.
B. pollution
C. sound
D. rubbish
B. British law protects people from their neighbors" music at night.
C. The level of noise produced in cities is twice as high now as ten years ago.
D. Noise can sometimes cause hearing loss.
B. call for people to make less noise
C. compare rubbish and noise
D. describe people"s attitude to noise

From: Jakie Mok, Secretary; Sports Development Committee
Date: May 20, 2010
A Week ago, "Sports for Life" programme was sent to the parents, requiring them to select a sport
they wanted their child to play. Since then, our staff have received lots of calls from parents asking for
more information about it. Here is a memo (备忘录) for your reference when you answer the phones:
Sports 1: Basketball
We expect that this will be the most popular of the four sports. Therefore, students should be advised
to sign up as soon as possible. Students will take a private bus to and from Kwun Tong Sports Park. To
cover the cost of hiring a bus, each student will have to pay $10 each time. There will be four basketball
courts available for our use with one teacher watching over each game.
Sports 2: Gym
We will be using St. Peter"s Memorial Park. There are two reasons for choosing this park. First, it is
not very busy and crowded before 6:00 pm. Second, it has a lot of trees with plenty of shade. Students
must bring along two bottles of water to prevent thirst. Three activities, skipping, jogging, outdoor
aerobics (有氧运动), all of which are free of charge, will be arranged. And there will be a teacher on
duty for each of the activities.
Sports 3: Hiking. (远足)
Hiking will take place at Kowloon Peak. The activity will start at 2:30 pm and finish 90 minutes later.
Three teachers will accompany the students, and a hiking instructor will accompany each group of 15
hikers. Each instructor will cost $ 75/hr.
Sports 4: Swimming
The Kowloon City Aquatic Centre is a 10-minute walk from our school. Four teachers will go to the
pool and conduct the goings-on from the poolside. We will only be able to reserve the pool for one hour
(i.e. 2:45pm to 3:45pm). Only students skillful at swimming can take up this activity. The pool will have
two lifeguards present. Girls must wear a swimming suit. The cost is $10 per visit.
