out. When they bought things, they used to carry shopping baskets. But now we don"t reuse things well and
more rubbish has been produced. We throw away 25 million tones of waste in our dustbins (垃圾箱) every
year. That means one family throw away about one thousand kilos of waste.
We have a strong reason to take it as a serious problem! The fact is that lots of rubbish we throw away
could be reused or recycled (回收利用). The so-called rubbish isn"t really rubbish.
The UK is one of the worst recyclers in Europe. In other words, in the UK, they"re recycling only about
8% of their everyday waste. That"s much less than many other countries. Germany recycles 10%, while
Japan recycles 40%. The govemment has set a goal of recycling 30% of their everyday waste by the year
2010. But it looks that it is not easy to reach it. As we know, some habits are difficult to change and some
collection plans are expensive to carry out.
At present, the movement called Recycle Now in the UK tries to change that situation. The Top designer
(设计师) Oliver Heath is a strong fan of the movement. In 2005 he designed the first home built completeiy
from recycled things, including metal cans and glass bottles. "It always makes me excited when I make good
use of those recycled things," he said, " Maybe in the near future, you can also make something from recycled
computer printers, plastic bags, bottle tops or CDs." When his story was reported on TV, more and more
people begin to try his ideas.
Some local (地方的) govemments have set up recycling centres where it"s easy for families to take their
empty bottles and old newspapers. Instead of throwing away the so-called rubbish, some families start doing
more about it.
With the effort of the whole country, we are happy to see some progress in some places in the UK.

Keep in mind that you can have too much of a good thing: over-exercising and exercising in a wrong way can
hurt your body. The following suggestions can help you avoid this.
Warm up before exercise. This helps to prepare your body for activities. It"s especially important in the
morning.
Cool down after exercise. Rather than stop immediately, do a few gentle (轻柔的) activities to avoid aches
and pains (疼痛) later. Exercise with your limits (极限). Build up slowly. Pain is a waming, so never try to
work through it.If you don"t listen to your body, you will hurt yourself. Avoid being thirsty. Water is important
to keep your normal temperature during exercise and prevent tiredness. Wear sports shoes. These shoes can
protect your feet and prevent you from being hurt.
B. Four.
C. Five.
D. Six.
B. Ask our doctor for advice.
C. Have a health examination.
D. Go over these suggestions.
B. Cooling our body down.
C. Drinking enough water.
D. Putting on sports shoes.
B. To avoid aches or pains later.
C. To keep normal temperature.
D. To avoid hurting ourselves.
instead of driving my car? Do I ever play sports for fun? Do I ever take the stairs instead of the elevator? If
you answered no to any or all of the above questions, you are probably out of shape and need to start a fitness
program.
Exercise is very important. It improves your strength and blood circulation (循环). It gives you more
energy. It can help you relax and sleep well, and it can help control your weight. In fact, the U. S. Surgeon
General says that exercise can help prevent heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and osteoporosis (a disease that
weakens the bones).
The first step is to make a program. A good fitness program should be fun. It should involve (包含) both
your arms and your legs, and it should help you to build endurance(the ability to do exercise for a long time).
To make a good program for yourself, first you should think about the types of activities you like to do, what
you think you are able to do, and when you will have time to do it. A good exercise program will involve
cardiovascular activities, such as running, biking, swimming, roller skating, playing soccer or tennis, or
jumping rope. It will also involve weight-bearing exercise, such as weightlifting, and stretching activities.
Also, daily, low-intensity activities such as walking, gardening, dancing, and climbing stairs are good for your
physical health.
So what are you waiting for? Cet off of the sofa and start exercising. Sign up for yoga, tai chi, or pilates.
Join a gym or a running club, or just start walking a half an hour every day. Every little bit helps!
B. a good exercise program should be exciting
C. exercise can help you control your weight
D. it" s not necessary to make an exercise program
B. three
C. four
D. five
B. jumping rope
C. weightlifting
D. climbing stairs
B. A good exercise program can help you a lot to keep healthy.
C. Exercise can improve your strength and blood circulation.
D. Start to make an exercise program when you are out of shape.
something in common: they all need energy to work. Energy has many different forms. One form, electricity,
comes mostly from steam-powered generators (蒸汽发电机). Steam is made by buming coal, oil, or natural
gas. Gasoline(汽油) is another form of energy. Casoline is made from oil. Oil has many other uses. Paints,
fertilizers, and plastics are made from it. We even use it to heat buildings. Coal, oil, and gas are natural
resources (资源). We take them from nature to make our lives easier.
We can classify (分类) natural resources as either renewable or nonrenewable. Coal, oil, and gas are
nonrenewable. They take millions of years to form. Some scientists predict that we will run out of oil and
gas in 50 to 100 years. Coal is more plentiful. So it may last for hundreds of years. Resources such as wood
and water are renew- able. They can be grown or recycled naturally. They can, however, become limited
from overuse.
We have developed some altemate (替代的) sources of energy. But these sources have disadvantages. For
example, hydroelectric power, or energy from running water, affects the ecology (生态) of surrounding areas.
Nuclear power (核电), another altemate source, presents the threat (威胁) of nuclear accidents. There are also
problems related to the storage (储存) of nuclear wastes. Solar and wind energies aren"t consistent. We can"t
depend on them. Geothermal energy, caused by heat from inside the earth, is tapped by drawing steam and
hot water from pools and geysers. This energy source, like most others, isn"t fully developed.
It"s time to get serious about energy. We must find practical, alternate energy sources. If we wait too long,
it will be too late. We will run out of coal, oil, and natural gas. Then we won"t have the resources to make
altemate energy sources.

in the neighborhood on her 121st birthday.
When it comes to long life, Jeanne Calment is the world" s recordholder. She lived to the ripe old age of
122. So is 122 the upper limit (限制) to the human life span (寿命)? If scientists come up with some sort of
pill or diet that would slow aging, could we possibly make it to 150-or beyond?
Researchers don"t entirely agree on the answers."Calment lived to 122, so it wouldn"t surprise me if
someone alive today reaches 130 or 135," says Jerry Shay at the University of Texas.
Steve Austad at the University of Texas agrees. "People can live longer than we think," he says. "Experts
used to say that humans couldn"t live past 110. When Calment blew past that age, they raised the number to
120. So why can"t we go higher?"
The trouble with guessing how old people can live to be is that it" s all just guessing."Anyone can make up
a number," says Rich Miller at the University of Michigan. " Usually the scientist who picks the highest number
gets his name in Time magazine.
Won"t new anti-aging techniques keep us alive for centuries? Any cure, says Miller, for aging would
probably keep most of us living until about 120. Researchers are working on treatments that make the life
span of mice longer by 50 percent at most. So, if the average (平均) human life span is about 80 years, says
Miller, " adding another 50 percent would get you to 120."
So what can we leam from this little disagreement among the researchers? That life span is flexible (有弹
性的), but there is a limit, says George Martin of the University of Washington. "We can get flies to live 50
percent longer," he says. " But a fly"s never going to live 150 years." Of course, if you became a new species
(物种), one that ages at a slower speed, that would be a different story, he adds.
Does Martin really believe that humans could evolve (进化) their way to longer life?"It" s pretty cool to
think about." He says with a smile.
B. Old people are creative.
C. Women are sporty at 85.
D. Women live longer than men.
B. scientists cannot find ways to slow aging
C. few people can expect to live to over 150
D. experts aren"t sure how long one can live
B. Steve Austad.
C. Rich Miller.
D. Ceorge Martin.
B. The average human life span cannot be doubled.
C. Scientists believe mice are aging at a slower speed than before.
D. New techniques could be used to change flies into a new species.
cities. Their answer is the bicycle, or bike.
In a great many cities, hundreds of people ride bicycles to work every day. In New York City, some bike
riders have even formed a group called "Bike for a Better City". They claim that if more people rode bicycles
to work there would be fewer automobiles in the downtown section of the city and therefore less dirty air
from car engines.
For several years this group has been trying to get the city government to help bicycle riders. For example,
they want the city to paint special lanes-for bicycles only-on some of the main streets, because when bicycle
riders must use the same lanes as cars, there may be accidents. "Bike for Better City" feels that if there were
special lanes, more people would use bikes.
But no bicycle lanes have been painted yet. Not everyone thinks it is a good idea. Taxi drivers don"t like the
idea-they say it will slow traffic. Some store owners on the main streets don"t like the idea-they say that if there
is less traffic, they will have less business. And most people live too far from downtown to travel by bike.
The city government has not yet decided what to do. It wants to keep everyone happy. On weekends,
Central Park-the largest open place in New York-is closed to cars, and the roads may be used by bicycles only.
But "Bike for a Better City" says that this is not enough and keeps fighting to get bicycle lanes downtown. Until
that happens, the safest place to bicycles may be in the park.
B. cars
C. planes
D. ships
B. The Central Park is closed to cars on weekdays.
C. "Bike for a Better City" members ride bicycles to work.
D. Accidents won"t happen if cars and bikes are on different lanes.
B. the main streets are not wide enough
C. the city government can"t help to paint the lanes
D. there"s no need for most people to travel by bike
B. "Bike for a Better City" and the city government
C. the government"s idea on traffic and city pollution
D. a suggestion on the city problems of traffic and pollution
