Skateboarding has become one of several non - traditional activities that PE teachers around America are introducing to inspire kids to exercise regularly. Some PE classes feature

in-line (滚轮) skating, yoga, and even rock climbing. Experts have called those types of activities “the new PE”.

Such activities are part of a larger effort to help kids develop lifelong fitness habits and to keep them from becoming overweight. Now, 9 million U.S. children and teens are overweight. Obesity (肥胖) can lead to health problems such as diabetes and heart disease later in life.

“Our children and youth are becoming unhealthy and obese,” says Lindsey Johnson. “Skateboarding is a great activity that keeps kids doing physical movement and gives them new skills and interest.”

Some schools don’t allow skateboarding because they say it is dangerous. Cendali, however, argues that regular practice eliminates a great deal of the danger. “We teach students how to do it and how to do it safely,” he says.

Some people say skateboarding teaches life lessons. “Skateboarding t eaches kids to believe that if they stick with something they will finally succeed,” says education expert Richard Sagor of Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Oregon.

Skateboarding inspires kids not to give up in learning difficult skills. “It’s natural f or kids to want to learn and get better at things,” adds Sagor. “When it comes to skateboarding, they’ll try a trick hundreds of times before they succeed.” That same effort could be made in schoolwork.

Eric Klassen agrees that skateboarding requires kids to stop saying a task is too hard for them. “A baby will attempt to walk 600 to 900 times before he or she is successful,” says Klassen. “We tell students that they shouldn’t say ‘I can’t do it’ unless they’ve tried 600 to 900 times.”

5. Skateboarding is introduced into American schools to ______.

A. encourage students to compete bravely in competition

B. teach students how to deal with risks

C. prevent students suffering from heart disease later in life

D. help students form the habit of doing sports

6. T he underlined word “eliminates” in Paragraph 4 probably means “______”.

A. reduces

B. increases

C. adds

D. brings

7. What life lesson do kids learn from skateboarding?

A. To succeed in life you have to learn skateboarding.

B. You will succeed in life if you don’t give up.

C. Only after failing 600 to 900 times can you succeed.

D. There is no hard work after learning skate-boarding well.

8. What would be the best title for the passage?

A. The dangerous PE

B. Skills of skateboarding

C. The new PE

D. The change of PE

C

Today most Chinese teenagers are happy to be favored by two parents and four grandparents in their families. But have you ever thought about how to take care of four to twelve old people when you grow up and get married? This could be a problem for most Chinese youths as China is entering a new stage of an aging society.

An aging society refers to one where 10 percent or more of its population is over 60. By the end of 2007, Chinese over 60 years old had made up 11.7 per cent of the nation’s total population.

“China is getting old before becoming rich,” said Cai Chuang, a professor at the
