It was December and the snow was falling quietly outside. The four March sisters were sitting around the fire in the living room. They were knitting(织)socks for soldiers(士兵).There was a war and everyone had to help.

Meg was the oldest of the four sisters. She was sixteen. She was very pretty and she loved pretty clothes. Jo was fifteen. She was very tall and thin. She was different from Meg. She didn't care about dresses or hairstyles. She was a tomboy(假小子).Beth was thirteen. She was very shy and quiet and she seemed to live in a happy world of her own. The youngest, Amy, looked like a snow princess with her blue eyes. She loved beautiful things and she was a little vain(虚荣的)?She also thought that she was a very important person.

"Christmas isn't Christmas without any presents," Jo said sadly. "I hate being poor!" Meg said, looking at her old dress.

"Some girls have lots of nice things, and other girls have nothing at all," said Amy. "I don't think it's fair!"

"But we've got Father and Mother, and each other," said Beth.

The four sisters looked happy for a moment when they remembered this.

"But we haven't got Father," said Jo. Their smiles suddenly disappeared. Mr March was far away with the soldiers.

"Mother says our men are suffering(受苦)and we mustn't spend money for pleasure," Meg said."That's why we can't have presents this year."

"Well, each of us has a dollar to spend," said Jo. "What can the army do with four dollars?

Nothing! I don't expect anything from Mother but I'd like to buy a book for myself !" Jo loved reading.

"I want to spend mine on some new music," said Beth. She played the piano and she loved singing.

"I'm going to buy a box of drawing pencils. I really need them!" said Amy. She wanted to be an artist.

"Mother didn't say anything about spending our own money," cried Jo. "We work hard for it so let's buy what we want and have a little fun."

It was true. The two older sisters had jobs. Meg worked as a teacher for the King family and Jo looked after Aunt March, their father's rich, bad-tempered(坏脾气的)old aunt. Beth and Amy helped with the housework.

1.What was Jo's hobby?

A. Knitting. B. Singing. C. Drawing. D. Reading.

阅读下面的短文并用英语回答问题,并将答案写在答题卷上标有题号的横线上。

Have you seen people carrying rubbish bags while jogging? Or their hands filled with old plastic bottles? You might soon. Sweden's latest fitness craze(狂热)-plogging-is making its way to the whole world.

What is plogging? It is a new word made up of part of "jogging" and part of the Swedish words "plocka upp(pick up)", which means picking up rubbish while jogging. By plogging joggers will keep fit and save the world at the same time.

It all began when a Swedish man, Erik Ahlstrom, moved to Stockholm two years ago. This capital city left Erik a strong idea: "It looks like a dump(垃圾场)." His way to make a change is pretty outside the box: he invited groups of joggers-armed with(用……装备)rubbish bags and gloves-to jog through the city and pick up rubbish. Amazingly, it has turned popular and people share photos of the rubbish they collected on the Internet.

It is said that a half-hour of plogging burns about 288 calories(卡路里),while only jogging burns 235 calories. Some parents go plogging with their children at weekends. "It is the best family education. My child learns the idea of environmental protection by plogging. She is only 6," said a father. And a company called Vivobarefoot now will give out a pair of shoes in exchange for 17 plastic bottles.

Plogging is well accepted in many other countries. There are plogging groups in Germany, Australia and the US. In China, it's starting to go popular among exercisers who want to make a difference.

1.Who started plogging?

_____________________

2.What is the meaning of plogging?

_____________________

3.Would you like to go plogging with your parents? Why or why not?
