    yoga

     
    Yoga is a kind of sport. It is very popular around the world now. Everyone, young and old can do yoga. It’s good for both men and women.

        Why do people like yoga? There’s a short answer and a long answer to that question. The short answer is that yoga makes you feel better. Practising, breathing exercises and thinking make you healthier in body, mind and spirit.
    For many people, that's enough of an answer, but there's more if you are interested.
    Yoga began in India about 5,000 years ago. At that time, people wanted to be free, healthy and live a long life, so this kind of exercise was born. The early yoga was part of a religion (宗教). It was usually taught one to one—one teacher with one student. Yoga is an Indian word that means “to join together”. There are three parts of yoga altogether: exercise, breathing and meditation (沉思). In the past, people paid more attention to the spirit. The idea be­hind the exercise was to join the mind, body and spirit as one. Yoga can give you peace, help you feel relaxed, and have fewer worries and illnesses.   204

    The air pollution was so bad in Harbin, in China, on October 21,2013 that the city had to close roads and schools, and cancel* hundreds of flights from its airport.
    News reports said the smog (a mixture of smoke and fog) was so thick that people couldn’t see more than 10 or 20 metres in front of them.
    It is also said that people could not even see the person standing next to them. The city’s website said: “You can’t see your own fingers in front of you.”
    The local people said there was a “burning” smell in the air. Many people covered their noses and mouths with scarves or masks*.
    The pollution was caused on several factors* including: farmers burning off old corn stalks* and crop stubble*; coal*-fired heating systems; and low winds that allowed the smoke to remain over the city.
    The smog had been building up for several days. It became worse when the city turned on the public heating system, which uses coal to heat millions of homes and offices in the city.
    Harbin has a population of more than 10 million people. It lies in northeastern China, where cold winter weather can last up to six months. The main fuel* there is coal, because it is cheaper than other types of fuel.
    Air pollution from burning coal can cause health problems like heart disease. During the smog crisis* in Harbin, the number of people taken to the hospital with breathing problems was 30% higher than usual.
    The city government is trying to reduce its use of coal by adding more insulation* and better roofs and windows to buildings to reduce heating needs. It has also used cleaner fuel for cars and factories.

    C．To reduce its use of coal.

    Sports can help you keep fit and close to nature. However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should realize that sport you choose might have great influence on the environment.
    Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also lots of water. Besides, huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses（球场）in good condition. This causes major environmental changes. For example, in the dry places of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for (为...承担责任） serious water shortage(短缺) in some local areas.
    There are many environment-friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don't need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes, and you don't have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also help you stay healthy. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and keep thin.
    Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener than by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be "green gyms." They are better replacements(替代) for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership(会员身份)． And best of all, it's free.
    小题1:Which of following does the author most probably support according to the passage?

    Different types of maps have different uses.
    Tourist maps, for example, have signs to show places of interest in an area. When tourists read these maps, it is easy for them to find where to go and what to see in a place and it is easy for them to go and find their ways to these places. 

    Road maps show large areas so that people can plan long journeys. Different types of roads are given different numbers. For example, if you want to go to Wood Green, you just follow No. 621 Road and keep looking at the road signs.

    Distribution maps (分布图) use colors or signs to show facts about an area. For example, where different languages are spoken, how many people live in an area, how cold and hot some places are, or whether a place is short of water.

    Some maps, such as railway maps, use straightlines to show everything. This is easy for people to read. Trains are fast. People don’t have to think about small places they go past. They just need to know the two ends of their trips.

    小题1:Jim is going to Beijing Zoo. Which map does he need most?
    A．A tourist map.B．A road map.
    C．A distribution map.D．A railway map.
    小题2:How can you tell different roads on road maps?
    A．By using different colors.B．By finding the numbers.
    C．By following No. 621 Road.D．By looking at the road signs.
    小题3:Why do railway maps use straight lines?
    A．Because railways are straight.
    B．Because people like straight lines.
    C．Because people can read them easily.
    D．Because railways have only two ends.

    Carmen Arace Middle School is situated in the pastoral town of Bloomfield, Conn., but four years ago it faced many of the same problems as inner-city schools in nearby Hartford: low scores on standardized tests and dropping enrollment（入学注册）. Then the school’s hard-driving headmaster, Delores Bolton, persuaded her board to shake up the place by buying a laptop computer for each student and teacher to use, in school and at home. What’s more, the board provided wireless Internet access at school. Total cost: $2.5 million.
    Now, an hour before classes start, every seat in the library is taken by students who cannot wait for getting online. Fifth-grade teacher Jen Friday talks about different kinds of birds as students view them at a colorful website. After school, students on buses pull laptops from backpacks to get started on homework. Since the computer arrived, enrollment is up 20%. Scores on state tests are up 35%.
    Indeed, school systems in rural Maine and New York City also hope to follow Arace Middle School’s example. Governor Angus King had planned using $50 million to buy a laptop for all of Maine’s 17,000 seventh-graders – and for new seventh-graders each fall.
    In the same spirit, the New York City board of education voted on April 12 to create a school Internet portal（入口）, which would make money by selling ads and licensing public school students. Profits（盈利）will also provide e-mail service for the city’s 1.1 million public school students. Profits will be used to buy laptops for each of the school system’s 87,000 fourth-graders. Within nine years, all students in grades 4 and higher will have their own computers.
    Back in Bloomfield, in the meantime, most of the kinks have been worked out. Some students were using their computers to visit unauthorized（非法的）websites. But teachers have the ability to keep an eye on where students have been on the Web and to stop them. “That is the worst when they disable you,” says eighth-grade honors student Jamie Bassell. The habit is rubbing off on parents. “I taught my mom to use e-mail,” says another eighth-grader, Katherine Hypolite. “And now she’s taking computer classes. I’m so proud of her!”
    小题1:The example of Carmen Arace Middle School in the passage is used to ______.
    A．show the problems schools are faced with today
    B．prove that a school without high enrollment can do well
    C．express the importance of computers in modern education
    D．tell that laptops can help improve students’ school performance
    小题2:According to the writer, students in New York City’s public schools will ______.
    A．enjoy e-mail service in the near future
    B．make money by selling ads on websites
    C．all have their own laptops within nine years
    D．become more interested in their studies with laptops
    小题3:The underlined word “kinks” in the last paragraph most probably means ______.
    A．plansB．projectsC．problemsD．products
    小题4:From the passage we learn that ______.
    A．a school Internet portal is the key to a laptop program
    B．the laptop program also has a good influence on parents
    C．students slowly accept the fact their online activities controlled
    D．the laptop program in public school is mainly for the eighth-graders
