American children aren't the only couch potatoes out there.Nearly one third of children in the world spend three hours a day or more watching TV or playing computers，according to a study of over 70，000 teens in 34 nations. From Argentina to Zambia，Regina Guthold of the World Health Organization in Geneva and her colleagues found that most children aren't getting enough exercise. "In terms of physical activity levels，we did not find much of a difference between poor and rich countries，" Guthold told Reuters Health. "Growing up in a poor country does not necessarily mean that kids get more physical activity."
The study，published in The Journal of Pediatrics，looked at 72，845 schoolchildren aged 13 to 15 from Africa，North and South America，Asia，Europe，and the Middle East.
The researchers defined enough physical activity as at least an hour of exercise outside of gym class at least five days a week.Children who spent three or more hours a day watching TV，playing computer games，or chatting with friends—aside from time in school or time spent doing homework—were considered as .The researchers found only one quarter of the boys and 15 percent of the girls were getting enough exercise bythese definitions .A quarter of the boys and nearly 30 percent of the girls sat too much and didn't get enough exercise.
Children in Myanmar were the least sedentary，with 13 percent of boys and 8 percent of girls classified as sedentary.
Girls were less active than boys in every country except for Zambia.Uruguay had the highest percentage of active boys，at 42 percent，while Zambia had the lowest，at 8 percent.Girls from India were the most active，with 37 percent meeting exercise definitions，while girls from Egypt were the least active，with just 4 percent getting enough exercise.
While the study didn't look at the reasons behind the lack of physical activity in various nations，Guthold guessed
that urbanization （城市化） could be a factor as well as being able to use cars and TVs.She said schools can help children become more active by having physical education classes and educating students about the importance of exercise.
5.What does the underlined word "sedentary" in paragraph 4 mean？______
A. Addicted.
B. Flexible.
C. Inactive.
D. Unhealthy.
6.What can we know from the study？______
A. Boys from Uruguay were the most active.
B. Most girls from India got enough exercise.
C. Children in Europe get more physical activity.
D. Boys are more active than girls in every country.
7.How does the writer present the findings of the study？______
A. By using quotations and taking examples.
B. By listing figures and making comparisons.
C. By asking questions and providing answers.
D. By presenting facts and drawing conclusions.
8.Which of the following factors probably lead to children's lack of physical activity？______

B
Just being intelligent （聪明的） doesn't mean someone will be successful.And just because someone is less intelligent doesn't mean that person will fail.That's one take-home message from the work of people like Angela Duckworth，who works at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia.
Like many other scientists，Duckworth wondered what makes one person more successful than another.When digging deeper，Duckworth found that the people who performed best shared a quality independent of intelligence.They had what she now calls grit （毅力）.Duckworth developed a set of questions to test it.She calls it her "grit scale （量表）."
I n one study of people 25 and older，she found that as people age，they become more likely to stick with a
project.She also found that git increases with education.People who finished college scored higher on the grit scale than people who quit before graduation.People who went to graduate school after college scored even higher. She then did another study with college students.Duckworth wanted to see how intelligence and grit influenced performance in school.So she compared scores on college-entrance exams，which measure IQ，to school grades and scores on the grit scale.Students with higher grades tended to have more grit.That's not surprising.Getting good grades takes both smarts and hard work.
But some people counter that this grit means success.Among those people is Marcus Crede，a professor at Iowa State University in Ames.He recently pooled the results of 88 studies on grit.Together，those studies tested nearly 67，000 people.And grit did not predict success，Crede found.
However，he thinks grit is very similar to someone's ability to set goals，work toward them and think things through before acting.
"Study habits and skills，test anxiety and class attendance are far more strongly connected to school grades than grit，" Crede says. "We can teach students how to study well.We can help them with their test anxiety，" he adds. "I'm not sure we can do that with grit."
9.What can we know from the first two paragraphs？______
A. Intelligence determines success.
B. Not all smart people will succeed.
C. Duckworth redesigned a grit scale.
D. Grit decides how intelligent one might be.
10.What might influence a person's grit according to Angela Duckworth's findings？______
A. Lifestyle.
B. Family.
C. Personality.
D. Education.
11.What does the underlined word " counter" in paragraph 5 mean？______
A. Comment.
B. Disagree.
C. Recognize.
D. Warn.
12.What can be inferred from the last paragraph？______
A. Grit can hardly be taught.
B. Grit can be improved easily
C. Grit is strongly related to test anxiety.
D. Grit has nothing to do with school grades.
C
With enough money，it's possible to do something unbelievable in Dubai and now you can add another to the list — walking on the moon.Recently，Canadian architectural company Moon World Resorts announced plans to construct a ﹩5 billion resort （度假村） that looks like the moon in Dubai.
The project，named Moon Dubai，is meant to help visitors experience space tourism，which allows guests to find out what it is like to walk on the moon.The resort will be very luxurious and contemporary，with a lot of components inside that one would already know — for example，a wellness area，residential properties，restaurants，a convention center，and a spa，each with a lunar twist （月球扭）.It will also include a training platform for space agencies and astronauts.
Space tourism currently comes with a big price tag，and it's a barrier to entry for most travelers.However，the moon resort experience will be significantly cheaper.A walk on the lunar surface of the moon resort is much more affordable at ﹩500.
"Moon Dubai will significantly impact every aspect of the UAE's economy，including tourism，transportation，commercial and residential real estate，infrastructure，financial services，aviation and space，energy，agriculture，technology and of course education，" says Michael R.Henderson，co-founder of Moon World Resorts. "It will be the largest and most successful modern-day tourism project in the MENA region，doubling annual tourism visitations to Dubai based on its global appeal，brand awareness and unique multiple integrated offerings."
Whether the project will eventually take off is currently unknown.If the design can be successful，it will require a 12-month pre-development planning program and a 48-month building process.But the company's plan is viable （可行的）.Moreover，Henderson estimated that the moon resort could open in 2027.
13.What do we know about the moon resort？______
A. It is designed to send people to the moon.
B. It is a cheaper option for space tourism.
C. It serves as a platform for scientists to explore space.
D. It provides visitors with space classes taught by astronauts.
14.What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about？______
A. The features of the moon resort.
B. The key role of tourism in Dubai.
C. The potential value of Moon Dubai.
D. The purpose of carrying out Moon Dubai.
15.What stage is the moon resort at？______

B. Design.
C. Operation.
D. Construction.
16.What is the main purpose of this text？______

At the end of the day，I designed a little goodbye program for the students.I had prepared dozens of small paper bags in advance，each containing a chocolate bar and a small card with encouraging messages，such as"Where there is a will，there is a way" "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step"and"A friend in need is a friend indeed".The cards also had my names on them.
