It all happened one afternoon in Carl's backyard a few years ago. We had just finished playing stickball, and I was about to go home.
“Wait a minute,” Carl yelled. He ran into his house and cameback with a book for me to take home and read. All he said was, “See if you like it.”
I said ly nothing. I kept the book for a couple of weeks and then returned it unread. Carl never asked me if I liked it or not. During the following two years Carl lent me three more books. Each time I returned them unread.
A few days after graduating from high school, Carl asked, “Benny, which college are you going to?”
“I'm not going to college.” I said.
“Why not?” he asked.
“Because my father can't afford the tuition (学费).” I answered.
“Is that it?” Carl asked. “Yes,” I said.
I lied. I had no intention of going back to school now that I was out. The following day, Carl knocked on my door and handed me a check for seventy-five dollars from his father along with the bookMartin Eden.“I think that should do it.” he said.
Once again I was in shock. I was working full-time in my brother's bakery. I attended two classes atWayneUniversitypart-time at night. Halfway through the semester, after receiving failing grades on exams and essays, I decided there was no way I would ever become a good student and get satisfactory grades. I dropped out
of college.
One day, curious, I picked up the book, thinking Carl was trying to tell me something. Despite difficulty, I pressed on.

Humans are the only creature that gets around by standing up and putting one foot in front of the other. Our ability to walk upright has allowed humankind to travel great distances and survive changing climates, environments and landscapes.
Countless scientific studies have found that walking is really good for us and this simple act can provide a number of healthimplications, which help people live longer. In fact, a walking routine, if done properly, might be the only exercise people need.
How much walking should one aim for? You’ve likely heard we need 10,000 steps a day. That’s about 5 miles.
But contrary to popular belief, this recommendation doesn’t come from science. Instead, itis from a 1960s advertising campaign to promote a pedometer (计步器) in Japan. Perhaps because it’s a round number and easy to remember, it stuck.
Since the 1960s, researchers have studied the 10,000-steps-a-day standard and have turned up mixed results. Although 10,000 steps is certainly a healthy and worthwhile goal, it’s not fit for all.
For instance, a recent Harvard University study involving more than 16,000 senior women found that those who got at least 4,400 steps a day greatly reduced their risk of dying early when compared with less active women. The study also noted that these benefits continued up to 7,500 steps. This 7,500 mark isn’t surprising: It’s similar to common public health recommendations, such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s recommendation of 150 minutes of moderate (适度的) physical activity a week for adults.
12. What does the underlined word “implications” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Benefits
B. Problems.
C. Habits.
D. Manners.
13. Where does the 10,000-steps-a-day standard come from?
A. A Harvard University study.
B. Science research on health.
C. A pedometer advertisement.
D. Public health recommendation.
14. What can we know from the last paragraph?
A. 7,500-steps-a-day standard is the best choice for all.
B. More than 16,000 old people were involved in the study.
C. Those who walk at least 4,400 steps a day won’t die early.
D. 150-minute moderate exercise a week for adults is advised.
15. What does the author mainly want to tell readers?
A. The more you walk a day, the healthier you will be.
B. We can benefit from continuous and proper walking.
C. Walking upright helps humankind to explore the world.
D. Advertisements can always tell us some scientific suggestions .
