         America is a country on the move. In unheard-of numbers, people of all ages are exercising their way to
    better health. According to the latest figures, 59 percent of American adults exercise regularly-up 12 percent
    from just two years ago and more than double the figure of 25 years ago. Even non-exercisers believe they
    would be more attractive and confident if they were more active.
         It is hard not to get the message. The virtues of physical fitness are shown on magazine covers, postage
    stamps, and television ads of everything from beauty soaps to travel books. Exercise as a part of daily life did
    not catch on until the late 1960s when research by military doctors began to show the health benefits of' doing
    regular physical exercises. Growing publicity (宣传) for races held in American cities helped fuel a strong
    interest in the ancient sport of running. Although running has leveled off in recent years as Americans have
    discovered equally rewarding-and sometimes safer- forms of exercise, such as walking and swimming, running
    remains the most popular form of exercise.
         As the popularity of exercise continues to mount, so does scientific evidence of its health benefits. The key
    to fitness is exercising the major muscle groups vigorously (强有力地) enough to approximately double the
    heart rate and keep it doubled for 20 to 30 minutes at a time. Doing such physical exercises three times or more
    a week will produce considerable improvements in physical health in about three months.
    1. It can be learnt from the passage that the health benefits of exercise ____.
    A. are to be further studied
    B. are self-evident
    C. are yet to be proved
    D. are supported by scientific evidence
    2. A growing interest in sports developed after ____.
    A. an increasing number of races were held in American cities
    B. research showed their health benefits
    C. scientific evidence of health benefits was shown on TV ads
    D. people got the message from magazine covers and postage stamps
    3. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
    A. Exercise-The Road to Health
    B. Scientific Evidence of Health Benefits
    C. Different Forms of Exercise
    D. Running-A Popular Form of Sport
    4. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the phrase "leveled off" in the paragraph 2?
    A. Reached its lowest level in popularity.
    B. Stopped being popular.
    C. Stopped increasing in popularity.
    D. Become very popular.
    1-4: D A D C

         I am truly saddened about what is going on in my school district, especially in the school where I am
    currently working.
        Why are so many students not doing well? Why is there such a huge achievement gap between urban
    and suburban students? Just this week, in my school the seventh grade team leader called a meeting to
    discuss academic detention (放学后留校). The purpose of the detention is to allow students who are
    doing poorly a second chance to redo the work. Now if a student did not understand an assignment I
    have no trouble allowing that student to redo a test or give some extra credit work, but if a student did
    poorly because he/she opted(选择) not to do the work out of sheer laziness, that student should not be
    given a second chance.
        And parents should be held accountable for their children. That is another reason why there is such a
    huge achievement gap. All children should be monitored at home in order to achieve great success in
    school. Perhaps it might be a great idea for urban school districts to offer free classes to parents on how
    to help their students at home. Of course this idea is far fetched, after all we do not want to offend the
    parents. What we will do instead is to spend a fortune on teacher training because if the kids are not
    doing well it must be the fault of the teacher. That kind of mindset, if allowed to continue will be a perfect
    recipe for greater achievement gaps.
         I started working at my current school in August and I have been in the teaching field for 25 years.
    What I believe is that you can lead a horse to water but you can't make that  horse drink. You can't
    force kids to change bad habits over  night, nor can we afford to lower standards just so a kid can  pass
    a class.

    1. The seventh grade team leader in the author's school called    a meeting to ________.
    A. analyse the reason for the huge achievement gap between students
    B. find out who is to blame for the huge achievement gap between students
    C. talk about giving students who are doing poorly a second  chance to redo the work
    D. discuss how to narrow the huge achievement gap between students

    2. The author believes that a student can be given a second chance ________.
    A. if he did poorly the first time
    B. for whatever reason he did poorly the first time
    C. if he failed the first time in spite of his efforts
    D. if he comes from a suburban area

    3. In the last paragraph, the author intends to tell us that ________.
    A. a student can make improvement only when he is willing to
    B. teachers are to blame if his students are doing poorly
    C. the school should force those students to work harder if   they're doing poorly
    D. the school should treat different students with different standards

         I am an English teacher, with over 15 years' experience of teaching in London. I started
    the DailyStep audio email lesson service because I noticed that when I started their English
    course, my students' speaking and listening skills were much weaker than their reading and
    writing skills. In my view, this is because education in school does not focus enough on
    communication skills. DailyStep is designed to remedy this situation by offering more practice
    in speaking, listening and vocabulary.
         I am crazy about the English language and it is a real pleasure for me to see the
    development of my students' language skills.
          I majored in (以….为专业)law at university and then worked for three years as a
    researcher and journalist for Sky television and BBC magazines. I decided to change to
    English teaching because of my love of the English language and my wish to move into more
    satisfying work.
          Then I qualified (取得资格)as an English teacher in 1992. My first teaching job was at
    a language school in Covent Garden, London, where I taught examination classes and
    Business English . After two years, I moved to the Nippon Club where I taught General
    English and Business English courses for 9 years. I also developed a unique course called
    British Society & Culture, covering all areas of British life, such as politics, law, e
    ducation & music. At the same time, taught Business, Financial& Law English in the financial
    centre of London. My students included staff (工作人员)from banks and law firms.
          As well as running the DailyStep website, I also provide in-company English speech
    training for companies in London. If you have an important speech coming up and would like
    some information about how I can help you, please email me at jane@dailystep.com.
