Ever wonder why there are so many people polluting the earth? Ever say to yourself：Hey, I wish that I could do more to help the environment?

● Ride your bike or carpool (合用汽车).Obviously, youare creating less CO2which will help the ozone(臭氧).
● Make a garden. Even simply grow some plants in your kitchen, which will help produce more oxygen while eating up some of that evil CO2.
● Buy local groceries. It creates less impact on the environment. Besides, you're supporting your local farmers.

● Don't run the water while brushing. It saves you money and helps the water resources.
● Open the curtains. Natural light is much prettier and it will keep the energy usage down.

Susan Scott, 71, is glad that she didn't think about her age when she took up bodybuilding at the age of 59.
“I reinvent myself every ten years. I started my 60s as a bodybuilderand now I'm beginning my 70s as a writer,” she said. “People usually limit themselves by age, and it's discouraging. With age, I remain young at heart.”
Dr Susan started bodybuilding at an age when most are considering retirement though she was an athlete from an early age. As a child in Venezuela, she took to gymnastics and later graduated with a physical education degree.
Then she obtained a master's degree in education and later a Ph. D. in Adult Personal Development. She taught at Cambridge Rindge and Latin High School in Cambridge, Massachusetts, for 16 years, while raising two daughters.
“I started bodybuilding when I met Steve Pfiester, a gym guy who practiced yoga. He invited me to his gym and offered to train me. I started in January and in June he took me to my first competition in Bradenton, Florida,” she recalled.
Dr Susan's photos show that she has devoted long hours to taking care of her body. But she also develops her mind and spirit. On any given day, she gets up at 3 am to read books. At 4:30 am she's out to walk three miles and run another three. This is followed by yoga and a swim at the beach while the sun rises. After writing her journal and working on her book between 8 and 10 am, she hits the gym for at least two hours. “I don't lose track of time,” she said.
Dr Susan's war on ageism has rubbed off on her two daughters, both in their early thirties. “They both take care of their bodies and minds. If you give them a good foundation as a parent, you know that they will always come back to their roots. I tried to remind myself of that during their difficult teen years.”
4. What's Dr Susan's opinion on age?
A. Age cannot be hidden.
B. Age is a state of mind.
C. Every age has its pains and sorrows.
D. Old age is not suitable for further study.
5. What made Dr Susan start bodybuilding?
A. The need of her job.
B. Her youthful dream.
C. Steve Pfiester's influence.
D. Her daughters' encouragement.
6. Which of the following best describes Dr Susan's morning schedule?
A. Dull.
B. Tight.
C. Flexible.
D. Controversial.
7. What can be inferred about Dr Susan from the last paragraph?
A. She will set up a fitness foundation.
B. She will soon return to retirement.
C. She often thinks of her teenage years.
D. She sets an example to her daughters.
C
Imagine the feeling of swinging at a baseball going 100 miles per hour—without leaving your living room, or being in race car as it roars down the track, while you are sitting on the couch.
These are just some of the ways that sports business leaders say virtual reality (VR) will revolutionize how people train for and experience sports. Virtual and augmented（增强的）realities are together known as mixed reality (MR). “American footballers are already using VR to better train their minds andread the field,” Ludden said. “This can allow players to perfect their skills without risking injury.”
Canadian company D-BOX Technologies designs and produces moving seats found in cinema and theme parks. It is now moving into sports, and shows its Formula One (F1) racing simulator（模拟器）. The seats stimulate the force of gravity, speed and every shaking as Fl champion Lewis Hamilton zips around city streets.
A simulation seat uses pre-programed data now. Someday, though, it could use real-time information sent by the car. “They couldbroadcast live content through a network in pop-up theaters around the world,” Ludden said. Say you want to experience the true stress of a batter being up against major-league baseball pitcher. “You can have a heartbeat added to the sensation on the seat and then you can feel it, boom, boom,” Maheu explained. “When he swings and hits the ball, you can have an impact.”
One day, fans around the world could physically experience every game from their favorite player in real time. Ludden said that current and near-future technology could create “augmented stadiums” for live audiences. Panasonic launched its “Smart Venue” plans which included the overlaying of graphics, advertisements, player statistics and replays on the field of play at a pro football game. “If you are seated in the cheap seats, you can see this really useful.” “Fans may someday join in stadium wide games, using the field as a virtual gaming platform,” Ludden added.
8. What does the underlined phrase “read the field” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Get off the playing field.
B. Build up a football court.
C. Judge the situation on the field.
D. Ask players to play on the spot.
9. What does Maheu think audiences can do in the future baseball game?
A. Enjoy live content in any theater.
B. Program the simulation seats in advance.
C. Control the force and speed of the baseball.
D. Experience the real time game with the player.
10. What does Ludden mainly describe in the last paragraph?
A. The origin of VR.
B. A future stadium.
C. An advertisement platform.
D. The expectations of audiences.
11. What is the main idea of the text?
A. VR can improve players' skills for sports.
B. VR increases fans' joy in the baseball game.
C. VR can improve sports experience for players and fans.
D. VR promises a new future for football players and games.
D
These days, football is one of the most popular sports in the world. Given that Neil Armstrong wanted to take a football to the Moon, we could even say that it is also the most popular sport out of this world! The history of the game goes back over two thousand years to Ancient China. It was then known as cuju (kick ball), a game using a ball of animal skins with hair inside. Goals were hung in the air. Football as we know it today started inGreat Britain, where the game was given new rules.
That football is such a simple game to play is perhaps the basis of its popularity. It is also a game that is very cheap to play. You don’t need expensive equipment; even the ball doesn’t have to cost much money. All over the world you can see kids playing to their hearts’ content with a ball made of plastic bags.
Another factor behind football’s global popularity is the creativity and excitement on the field. It is fun enough to attract millions of people. You do not have to be a fan to recognize the skill of professional players or to feel the excitement of a game ending with a surprising twist.
What’s more, football has become one of the best ways for people to communicate: it does not require words, but everyone understands it. It breaks down walls and brings people together on and off the field.
“Some people believe football is a matter of life and death, ...” said Bill Shankly, the famous footballer and manager. “I can tell you with certainty it is much, much more important than that.” This might sound funny, but
one only has to think about the Earth to realize that our planet is shaped like a football.
12. What can we know from paragraph one?
A. Some people like to play football on the Moon.
B. The game called cuju was given new rules today.
C. Cuju is different from football as we know it today.
D. Many people like playing a ball made of plastic bags.
13. According to the author, there are ________ reasons why football became so popular in the world.
A. 3
B. 4
C. 5
D. 6
14. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Football is round.
B. Football is more than just a sport.
C. Our planet is shaped like a football.
D. What Bill Shankly said sounds funny.
15. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A. To talk about the history of football.
B. To express his/her love of football.
C. To explain why football is such a popular game.
D. To prove that he/she is a professional football fan.
