Tired of traditional running? Well, maybe it’s time to try using your hands instead. That’s what Shaun McCarty and other Australians are doing — running on all fours. 1.
McCarthy, who comes from Melbourne, Australia, said he’s the one behind the term “crunning.” “It’s not crawling, it’s not running.” he said. “Crunning is a better workout than running. It puts more of an emphasis(着重)on the body than traditional running does. 2.”
McCarthy thinks that he gets much more exhausted after crunning, so he believes it must burn more calories than running.
3. Some believe crunning could result in bad shoulder injuries or broken noses.
But McCarthy is not worried. Many Melbourne residents have been seen running around on all fours. 4.In the Chinese city of Zhengzhou, crawling, a much slower version of crunning, has been a favourite activity for many years. According to some people there, the exercise is believed to date back two thousand years to the Han Dynasty.
5. Then McCarthy advises you to buy some good shoes, hand gloves and most important of all, a face mask!
A. Ready to give crunning a try?
B. As it turns out, they are not the only ones.
C. Crunning seems more difficult than traditional running.
D. It really exercises your legs and shoulders at the same time.
E. It’s part of the Internet’s latest fitness activities: “Crunning.”
F. However, many are not sure if it is the right exercise for humans.
G. He warns, however, that he can’t say whether crunning is potentially harmful.

I had dressed quite nicely for my first day as a student at St. Anne's College of Further Education. In celebration of this new beginning, I had changed my unusual clothes to formal clothing.
Like many young people my age, I was under the impression that the best way to show your personality was by wearing the kind of clothing that my mother considered was not fit to be seen in public. But for my first day as a student I had made an effort to look what my mother called ‘respectable’.
There were fifteen of us, sitting in the theatre hall, while the head of the drama department, Mr. Wilson, gave us a warm welcoming speech. To my horror (恐惧), he then invited us to say why we had decided to do a drama course. I had no idea what I would say. The truth was that although I had a taste for unusual clothing, I was painfully shy.
My worry grew as it came closer to my turn. One by one, the new students excitedly explained their reasons. Then it was the turn of a girl who I hadn't really noticed until that moment because I was too busy thinking about what I would say. ‘My name’s Tracy and I'm from Blackburn’, she said, and then added no further information.
Everyone smiled politely in silence but I was impressed at her bravery in saying almost nothing even under pressure (压力). I relaxed, knowing that you could get away with saying so little about yourself. It gave me confidence.
After Mr. Wilson at long last let us out of the hall to go to lunch, I managed to find the courage to go up to Tracy. She looked very unfriendly. Taking a deep breath, I introduced myself. To my surprise, she looked up at me and gave me a very bright, sweet smile. That was twenty-seven years ago, and although we never did become famous stars, we're still best friends.
1.Why did the author dress nicely for her first day at college?
A. She felt a need to dress properly.
B. She wanted to fit in with the other students.
C. She was under pressure from her mother.
D. She wanted to look like a great star.
2.Why did the author feel nervous?
A. Because she had never spoken in public
B. Because it was her turn to start first
C. Because she didn't know what to talk about
D. Because the other students were so excited
3.What does the underlined word "It" in Paragraph 5 refer to?
A. Tracy also seemed extremely worried.
B. Tracy hadn't said very much.
C. The other students reacted politely to Tracy.
D. All attention was on Tracy.

I’m part of the Roots & Shoots program founded by Dr. Jane Goodall. The program is intended to make and promote positive changes in the world. As Dr. Goodall says, “What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.”
In Bulgaria, where I live, homeless dogs are everywhere. Many people here turn a blind eye to them. But I cannot ignore the life of a street dog whenever I see one wandering in the street, looking for something to eat. That’s why I’m no longer a food waster. When I see wasted food, I always think of a hungry dog climbing to garbage bins, searching for food that people have thrown there. When eating in a restaurant, I’m not afraid to take leftover food to feed stray cats or dogs.
A week ago, I saw a homeless dog around the garbage bins. Immediately I knelt down, spoke to her softly and ran my hands over her. I could see that she had had puppies. I couldn’t imagine how she could have been able to care for them. Hours earlier, I’d bagged up a plate of leftover fish. As I unwrapped it, she wagged her tail and sniffed at it. She ate all the fish in no time.
It’s sad, isn’t it? I can’t understand why many of us waste so much and think little of it. These homeless animals have taught me that food is precious. Even when I don’t have leftovers with me, I’ll take the time to get something from the grocery store to feed them.
I know my power is small, so I hope that next time you see wasted food, do turn it into worthy food. You have the power to save a life!
1.The author uses what Dr. Goodall says to show__________.
A. how we can develop our business
B. why it is important to be great
C. why the program is popular globally
D. how we can change the world positively
2.What can be concluded from the text?
A. There are few homeless dogs where the author lives
B. The author takes homeless dogs home and raises them
C. Seeing homeless dogs makes the author never waste food
D. People throw food into garbage bins to feed homeless dogs
3.The author took the leftover fish with him to____________.
A. feed a homeless dog he met
B. eat it when he was hungry
C. look for more homeless animals
D. set an example to those who throw away food
4.The author wrote the text to ask us to__________.
A. value our food B. treat dogs as our friends
C. save wasted food for homeless dogs D. raise homeless dogs and cats

How often do you let other people like a bad driver, a rude waiter, or an angry boss, change your mood?
Sixteen years ago I learned a lesson. I got in a taxi, and we took off for Grand Central Station. We were driving in the right lane when all of a sudden, a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver used his brakes, the tires made a loud noise, and at the very last moment our car stopped just 3cm from the back of the other car.
I couldn’t believe it. But then I couldn’t believe what happened next. The driver of the other car, the guy who almost caused a big accident, turned his head around and he started shouting at us. I couldn’t believe it!
My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. So, I said, “Why did you just do that? This guy could have killed us!” And this is when my taxi driver told me what I now call, “The Law of the Garbage Truck”. He said, “Many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of anger and disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they look for a place to dump it. And if you let them, they’ll dump it on you.”
So I started thinking how often I let Garbage Trucks run right over me and how often I take their garbage and spread it to other people.
I began to see Garbage Trucks. I see the load people are carrying. I see them coming to dump it. And like my taxi driver, I don’t take it personally. I just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on.
1.What happened to the author on his way to Grand Central Station?
A. He was caught in a traffic jam. B. He had a fight with his taxi driver.
C. His taxi almost ran into another car. D. His taxi suddenly got a flat tire.
2.When the author saw his taxi driver smile and wave at the driver of the black car, he______.
A. got very angry B. was deeply impressed
C. felt quite disappointed D. praised him for his manners
3.The underlined part “the load” in the last paragraph probably refers to _______.
A. the bad mood B. poor habits
C. waste materials D. great pressure
4.How did the author learn to deal with Garbage Trucks?_______
A. Fight back immediately. B. Call the police for help.
C. Dump it on someone else. D. Smile and move on.
