time: early morning, noon, and evening. There were little old ladies in gray sweats, young couples in Adidas
shoes, middle-aged men with red faces. "Come on!" My friend Alex encouraged me to join him as he jogged
by my house every evening. "You"ll feel great."
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 (追击) ruining 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.
B. people jogged only during the daytime
C. Alex organized an army of joggers
D. jogging provided a chance to get together
B. Back problems
C. famous joggers
D. physical weaknesses
B. He was very fond of it.
C. He was strongly against it.
D. He thought it must be painful.
B. He found it neither healthy nor interesting.
C. He was afraid of having a heart attack.
D. He was worried about being left alone.
B. he is the only person who hates jogging
C. nothing other than jogging can help people keep fit
D. jogging makes people feel greater than any other sport.

举一反三
On one side stand those who see clothes dryers (干衣机) as a waste of energy and a major polluter of the
environment. As a result, they are turning to clotheslines as part of the "what-I-can do environmentalism (环境
保护主义)."
On the other side are people who are against drying clothes outside, arguing that clotheslines are unpleasant
to look at. They have persuaded Homeowners Associations (HOAs) access the U.S. to ban outdoor clotheslines,
because clothesline drying also tends to lower home value in the neighborhood. This had led to a Right-to-Dry
Movement that is calling for laws to be passed to protect people"s right to use clotheslines.
So far, only three states have laws to protect clothesline. Right-to-Dry supporters argue that there should
be move.
Matt Reck, 37, is the kind of eco-conscious (有生态意识的) person who feeds his trees with bathwater
and reuses water drops from his air conditioners to water plants. His family also uses a clothesline. But on July
9, 2007, the HOA in Wake Forest, North Carolina, told him that a dissatisfied neighlzir had telephoned them
about him clothesline. The Recks paid no attention to the warming and still dried their clothes on a line in the
yard. "Many people e say they are environmentally friendly but they don"t take matters in their own hands,"
says Reck. The local HOA has decided not to take any action, unless more neighbors come to them.
North Carolina lawmakers are saying that banning clotheslines is not the right thing to do. But HOAs and
housing businesses believe that clothesline drying reminds people of poor neighborhoods. They worry that if
buyers think their future neighbors can"t even afford dryers, housing prices will fall.
Environmentalists say such worries are not necessary, and in view of global warming, that idea needs to
change. As they say, "The clothesline is beautiful. Hanging clothes outside should be encouraged. We all have
to do at least something to slow down the process of global warming."
B. clothesline drying reduces home value
C. clothes dryers are energy-saving
D. clothesline drying is not allowed in most U.S. states
B. He is an impolite man.
C. He is and experienced gardener.
D. He is a man of social responsibility.
B. He is an impolite man.
C. He is and experienced gardener.
D. He is a man of social responsibility.
B. Clothesline drying: a lost art rediscovered.
C. Opposite opinions on clothesline drying.
D. Different varieties of clotheslines.
night"s leftovers in the a.m. if you want to.
I know lots of women who skip breakfast (不吃早饭), and they have a ton of different excuses for
doing it. Some say they don"t have time, others think they"re "saying" calories (卡路里), still others just
don"t like breakfast food.
But the bottom line is that eating in the morning is very important when you"re trying to lose weight.
"Eating just about anything from 300 to 400 calories would be better than nothing at all," says Katherine
Brooking, R.D., who developed the super-easy eating plan for this year"s "SELF CHALLENGE". And
even pizza can be healthy if it"s loaded with vegetables, and you stick to one small piece.
Breakfast is one meal I never miss, and the same goes for most weight loss success stories. Research
shows that eating breakfast keeps you from overeating later in the day. Researchers at the University of
Southern California found that breakfast skippers have a bigger chance of gaining weight than those who
regularly have a morning meal.
So eat something in the morning, anything. I know plenty of friends who end up having no breakfast
altogether, and have just coffee or orange juice. I say, try heating up last night"s leftovers-it may sound
crazy, but if it works for you, do it! I find if I tell myself, "You can always eat it tomorrow." I put away
the leftovers instead of eating more that night. Try it … you may save yourself some pre-bedtime calories.
And watch your body gain the fat-burning effects.
B. things left undone
C. meals made of vegetables
D. pizza topped with fruit
B. Many people have wrong ideas about breakfast.
C. There are some easy ways of cooking a meal.
D. Eating vegetables helps save energy.
B. be careful about what you cat
C. heat up food before eating it
D. cat calorie-controlled food
B. who want to lose weight
C. who stay up late
D. who eat before sleep
they city put a chain link fence around the park and started bulldozing (用推土机推平) the trees and grass to
make way for a new apartment complex. When I saw the fence and bulldozers, I asked myself, "Why don"t
they just leave it alone?"
Looking back, I think what sentenced the part to oblivion (别遗忘) was the drought (旱灾) we had about
four years ago. Up until then, Southway Park was a nice green park with plenty of trees and a public swimming
pool. My friends and I roller-skated on the sidewalks, climbed the tress, and swam in the pool all the years I
was growing up. The park was almost like my own yard. Then the summer I was fifteen the drought came and
things changed.
There had been almost no rain at all that year. The city stopped watering the park grass. Within a few weeks
I found myself living across the street from a huge brown desert. Leaves fell off the park tress, and pretty soon
the trees started dying, too. Next, the park swimming pool was closed. The city cut down on the work force
that kept the park, and pretty soon it just got too ugly and dirty to enjoy anymore.
As the drought lasted into the fall, the park got worse every month. The rubbish piled up or blew across the
brown grass. Soon the only people in the park were beggars and other people down on their luck. People said
drugs were being sold or traded there now. The park had gotten scary, and my mother told us kids not to go
there anymore. The drought finally ended and things seemed to get back to normal, that is, everything but the
park. It had gotten into such bad shape that the city just let it stay that way. Then about six months ago I heard
that the city was going to "redevelop" certain worn-out areas of the city. It turned out that the city had planned
to get rid of the park, sell the land and let someone build rows of apartment buildings on it.
The chain-link fencing and the bulldozers did their work. Now we live across the street from six rows of
apartment buildings. Each of them is three units high and stretches a block in each direction. The neighborhood
has changed without the park. The streets I used to play in are jammed with cars now. Things will never be the
same again. Sometimes I wonder, though, what changes another drought would make in the way things
are today.
B. Confused.
C. Upset.
D. Curious.
B. It was dangerous.
C. It because crowded.
D. It had turned into a desert.
B. The crime.
C. The beggars and the rubbish.
D. The decisions of the city.
B. people would have to desert their homes
C. the city would be fully prepared in advance
D. the city would have to redevelop the neighborhood

business model is on the rise. Actually, the past decades has seen more and more forests disappearing
and globe becoming increasingly warm. People now realize that this unhealthy situation must be changed,
and that we must be able to develop in sustainable (可持续的) ways. That means growth with low carbon
or development of sustainable products. In other words, we should keep the earth healthy while using its
supply of natural resources.
Today, sustainable development is a proper trend in many countries. According to a recent study, the
global market for low-carbon energy will become three times bigger over the next decades. China, for
example, has set its mind on leading that market, hoping to seize chances in the new round of the global
energy revolution. It is now tryuing hard to make full use of wind and solar energy, and is spending a huge
amount of money making electric cars and high-speed trains. In addition, we are also seeing great growth
in the global markets for sustainable products such as palm oil (棕榈油), which is produced without cutting
down valuable rainforest. In recent years the markets for sustainable products have grown by more than
50%.
Governments can fully develop the potential of these new markets. First, they can set high targets for
reducing carbon emissions (排放) and targets for saving and reusing energy. Besides, stronger arrangement
of public resources like forests can also help to speed up the development. Finally, governments can avoid
the huge expenses that are taking us in the wrong direction, and redirecting some of those expenses can
accelerate the change from traditional model to a sustainable one.
The major challenge of this century is to find ways to meet the needs of growing population within the
limits if this single planet. That is no small task, but it offers abundant new chances for sustainable product
industries.
B. it consumes natural resources
C. it brings severe damage to forests
D. it makes growth hard to continue
B. China is the leader of the low-carbon market.
C. High-speed trains are a low-carbon development.
D. Palm oil is made at the cost of valuable forests.
B. forbid carbon emission
C. develop public resources
D. encourage energy conservation
B. explore new natural resources
C. make full use of natural resources
D. deal with the major challenge
B. To compare two business models.
C. To predict a change of the global market.
D. To advocate sustainable development.
