In the Pacific Northwest during winter, 5.15 a.m. might be the middle of night. It is not only dark, but also cold. If you asked me a year ago if I could run early on a winter morning, I would laugh. ,last fall I connected with a friend. She'd been running with a partner in the morning and had forty pounds that year .I knew I could also have the same kind of weight loss. Since her running partner wasn't running, I asked if I could her.
The first two months were ,because we ran twice a week at 5.15 a.m. My body wasn't used to the early hours and every run was difficult. Then it snowed and we took two months . When the roads were clear, we soon were running together five days a week. As I'd changed the route of running, I discovered little that made it even more worthy(值得的)than a little weight loss. As we couldn't see other runners' faces, we said "good morning" to them shining a flashlight(手电筒).Running in the dark made us part of a club. When the sky was clear, I noticed lots of stars. It me of summertime camping and I looked forward to running in warmer weather.
Though I haven't taken off forty pounds yet, it's amazing how much more I have and how much stronger I feel. Because of the morning run, the rest of the day is more productive(有成效的)than before,1 wouldn't say I've a morning person, but l would say morning run is now my thing.

Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft and one of the richest people in the world, is now making efforts to reinvent (以新形式出现)the toilet. Gates has donated a big part of his wealth to charity. Now his charitable organization, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, is looking for future toilets that can improve the living conditions of millions of people.
The flush toilet (抽水马桶)we use today was invented in 1775. While it works well in getting rid of our waste, it also uses a lot of water and needs a costly sewage system(下水道排污系统). Besides, it’s not necessarily practical for the developing world. In some developing countries, lack of toilets leads to poor hygiene(卫生),and that could kill people. According to the World Health Organization, 1.5 million children under the age of five die each year because of hygiene problems.
Last year, the Gates Foundation gave money to eight universities around the world and asked them to start inventing the toilet of tomorrow: a toilet that uses little or no water is cheap and easy to fix, and is safe and hygienic.
At the “ Reinvent the Toilet Fair(展销会)” competition recently held in Seattle, twenty-eight designs were displayed. The winners, from the California Institute of Technology(加州理工学院), were awarded a $ 100,000 prize by the Gates Foundation.
“We couldn’t be happier with the response that we’ve gotten,” Bill Gates said at the event. Many of the new designs would not only greatly improve hygiene in the developing world, but also help change the dependence on traditional flush toilets in developed nations, he said.
1.What are disadvantages of the flush toilet we use today?
A. Wasting a lot of water and energy.
B. Washing a lot of water and needing a costly sewage system.
C. Spending too much time and energy.
D. Improving hygiene and environment.
2.How many designs were displayed at the “Reinvent the Toilet Fair”?
A. Eight. B. Eighty.
C. Eighteen. D. Twenty-eight.
3.What does the underlined word “that” refer to?
A. The flush toilet we use today.
B. The old toilet we used long ago.
C. Lack of toilets in some developing countries.
D. Lack of toilets leads to poor hygiene in some developing countries.
4.Which would be the best title for the passage?
A. Bill Gates of Microsoft B. Revolution (革命) of the toilet
C. Fair of the toilet D. Type of the toilet
