  According to a recent report, about 15% of the people in the UK are members of gyms. But are they more likely to be fit?

A study found that gym members were 14 times more active than people who didn't belong to any health club. Gym members did six hours more exercise a week, and this activity did make them fitter than non­gym members. They also spent less time sitting down every day than non­gym members.The results were the same for men and women.

The study included 405 people between the ages of 30 and 64, and the main characteristics of those who were gym members were the same as those who were not. “But gym members did more training than non­gym members，” said the lead author, Elizabeth Schroeder of the University of Illinois.

While it might seem clear that gym members exercise more and are healthier than non­gym members, Schroeder says this has not been directly shown before. However, the study is only designed to show a tie between gym membership and more exercise. It may be that active people like to join gyms. In the study, people who exercised as much as gym members were also in good health.

You can get the same benefits wherever you exercise. This study shows a gym membership can make you do more exercise, but other research shows that exercising outside has other help. Outdoor activity can make you feel happy about life—especially if you run through a forest.

Outdoor exercise is also more interesting than going to the gym. The first five minutes of outdoor exercise is especially helpful in making people feel good. But Schroeder says that a gym may also encourage greater exercise because it can be social and fun.

24．What did the new study find out?

A．Gym members had healthier eating habits.

B．There were fewer women gym members than men.

C．Gym members were more active than non­gym members.

D．Gym members did at least eight hours of exercise a week.

25．In the study, researchers studied ________.

A．30 gym members and 64 non­gym members

B．people from different age groups

C．some sports lovers

D．405 people who exercise outdoors

26．What does the underlined word “benefits” in paragraph 5 probably mean?

A．Help.   B．Need.    C．Advice.   D．Injury.

27．Which of the following statements will Elizabeth Schroeder agree with?

A．Women should do more gym exercise.

B．We should be careful with outdoor training.

C．Outdoor exercise is better than gym exercise.

D．It is easier to keep exercising if you go to the gym.

My First Marathon

A month before my first marathon, one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train. Yet, I was determined to go ahead.

I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P．E. class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball. I didn't do either well. He later informed me that I was “not athletic”．

The idea that I was “not athletic” stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s, I realised running was a battle against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic. It was all about the battle against my own body and mind. A test of wills!

The night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldn't even find the finish line. I woke up sweating and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself.

Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces(鞋带) became untied. So I stopped to readjust. Not the start I wanted!

At mile 3, I passed a sign：“GO FOR IT, RUNNERS！”

By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly.  Despite the pain, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.

By mile 21, I was starving!

As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan. She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a．m. or questioned my expenses on running.

I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. In fact, I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.

Determined to be myself,  move forward, free of shame and worldly labels(世俗标签), I can now call myself a “marathon winner”．

28．A month before the marathon, the author ________.

A．was well trained          B．felt scared

C．made up his mind to run    D．lost hope

29．Why did the author mention the P．E. class in his 7th year?

A．To acknowledge the support of his teacher.

B．To amuse the readers with a funny story.

C．To show he was not talented in sports.

D．To share a precious memory.

30．How was the author's first marathon?

A．He made it.              B．He quit halfway.

C．He got the first prize.      D．He walked to the end.

31．What does the story mainly tell us?

A．A man owes his success to his family support.

B．A winner is one with a great effort of will.

C．Failure is the mother of success.

D．One is never too old to learn.

Every year thousands of tourists visit Pompeii, Italy. They see the sights that Pompeii is famous for—its stadium and theatres, its shops and restaurants.The tourists do not, however, see Pompeii's people. They do not see them because Pompeii has no people. No one has lived in Pompeii for almost 2,000 years.

Once, Pompeii was a busy city of about 22,000 people. It lay at the foot of Mount Vesuvius, a grass­covered volcano. Mount Vesuvius had not erupted for centuries, so the people of Pompeii felt safe, but they were not. In August of AD 79, Mount Vesuvius erupted. The entire top of the mountain exploded, and a huge black cloud rose into the air. Soon stones and hot ash began to fall on Pompeii. When the eruption ended, Pompeii was buried under roughly 20 feet of stones and ashes. Almost all of its people were dead.

For centuries, Pompeii lay buried under stone and ash. Then, in the year 1861, an Italian scientist named Ginseppe began to uncover Pompeii. Slowly, carefully, Ginseppe and his men dug. The city looked almost the same as it had looked in AD 79. There were streets and fountains, houses and shops. There was a stadium with 20,000 seats. Perhaps the most important of all, there were everyday objects, which tell us a great deal about the people who lived in Pompeii. Many glasses and jars had some dark blue color in the bottom, so we know that the people of Pompeii liked wine. They liked bread, too; metal bread pans were in the bakery. In one bakery there were 81 round, flat loaves of bread—a type of bread that is still sold in Italy today. Tiny boxes filled with a dark, shiny powder tell us that women liked to wear eye­makeup.

32．Why do large numbers of people come to Pompeii each year?

A．To find the volcano.          B．To shop and eat there.

C．To watch sports and plays.     D．To see how Pompeiians lived.

33．Why had so many Pompeiians remained by volcanic Mount Vesuvius?

A．The city nearby offered all kinds of fun.

B．The area produced the finest wine in Italy.

C．Few people expected the volcano to erupt again.

D．The mountain was beautiful and covered with grass.

34．Why did the city uncovered look almost the same as it had looked in AD 79?

A．Ginseppe and his men dug it slowly and quickly.

B．The city was buried alive and remained untouched.

C．Scientists successfully rebuilt the city with everyday objects.

D．Nobody had lived in the city ever since the volcano erupted.

35．What do we know about the Pompeiians who lived 2,000 years ago?

A．They lived more or less the same as Italians now do.

B．They liked women wearing all kinds of makeup.

C．They enjoyed a lazy life with drinking and eating.

D．They went back to Pompeii after the eruption in AD 79.

A little girl whose parents had died lived with her grandmother and slept in an upstairs bedroom.

One night there was a fire in the house and the grandmother died while trying to rescue the child. The fire spread quickly, and the situation was terrible.

Neighbours called the fire department, then stood helplessly by, unable to enter the house because flames blocked all the entrances. The little girl appeared at an upstairs window, crying for help, just as word spread among the crowd that the firefighters would be delayed a few minutes because they were all at another fire.

Suddenly, a man appeared with a ladder, put it up against the side of the house and disappeared inside. When he reappeared, he had the little girl in his arms. He delivered the child to the waiting arms below, then disappeared into the night.

An investigation revealed that the child had no living relatives, and weeks later a meeting was held in the town hall to determine who would take the child into their home and bring her up.

A teacher said she would like to raise the child. She pointed out that she could ensure her a good education. A farmer offered her an upbringing(抚养) on his farm. He pointed out that living on a farm was healthy and satisfying. Others spoke, giving their reasons why it was the child's advantage to live with them.

Finally, the town's richest resident rose and said, “I can give this child all the advantages that you have mentioned here, plus money and everything that money can buy.”

Throughout all this, the child remained silent, her eyes on the floor.

“Does anyone else want to speak？” asked the meeting chairman. A man came forward from the back of the hall. He walked slowly and appeared to be in pain.

Paragraph 1：

When he got to the front of the hall, he stood directly in front of the little girl and held out his arms.

A Heroic Teen Missed a Competition but

Saved an Injured Woman

Last Saturday, Liu Wei, a senior school student of our school, helped an injured woman. On that day, Liu Wei was on his way to the hall where the English speaking competition took place when a woman fell off her bicycle carelessly. The woman struggled to get to her feet but failed, because her right leg was bleeding badly. Without any hesitation, Liu Wei came to her assistance. He applied pressure to the bleeding area and then tied his handkerchief firmly to the wound. Finally, he took the woman to the hospital nearby. It was at that time that he realised it was too late for the competition—he missed it.

In order to give the woman in need a hand, Liu Wei gave up the competition. As his fellow schoolmates and teachers, we should learn from him.

Paragraph 1：

When_he_got_to_the__front_of_the_hall,_he_stood_directly_in_front_of_the_little_girl_and_held_out_his_arms. His hands and arms were terribly scarred. The little girl cried out, “This is the man who rescued me！” With a leap, she threw her arms around the man's neck. She buried her face in his shoulder and sobbed for a few moments. Then she looked up and smiled, stating happily she would live with him.

Paragraph 2：

When_asked_about_her_choice,_the_girl_gave_people_the__reasons_firmly. She said in a low but determined voice, “I really desire to get a good education that will give me chances to live my dreams. Besides, I know that money means a lot to me since I have no relatives to rely on. But it's the man who saved my life when I was desperately facing a fire like that. Without him, I wouldn't be here, waiting for a new choice. I hope that I can do whatever I can to pay back his kindness.”
