III.阅读表达
There are many different types of transportation which I could use to travel 40 miles from my home.
The type of transportation I would choose how fast I need to get there and how much money I have. Some possibilities are walking,horseback riding,driving,or using a taxi,bus,or train.
The most economical choice is walking. It costs nothing and is healthful,but it is time-consuming. The average person can walk about 4〜5 miles per hour,so this trip would take at least 10 hours to complete. That means I would probably have to spend the night somewhere along the way. If I have to spend money for a hotel,then this choice really isn’t free. Besides,I might arrive at the end tired and with sore feet!After walking comes animal transportation. In my area,horses are not common,so it wouldn’t be a likely choice. I believe that a 40-mile trip would take 2 or 3hours on a horse. If I had free access to a horse,the cost would be minimal. Of course,I'd have to know how to ride!
With a car,the travel time is minimal,with only the cost of gasoline to consider. However,I don't own a car,and car rentals are expensive. Shared taxis are one form of affordable transportation,with 4 or 5 people sharing the cost of a car trip to the same destination. The only disadvantage is finding people to share the fare with me. Fortunately,I live in an urban area,where there are buses and trains to ride. One of these would be my first choice.
In short,the kind of transportation depends on how fast I need to get to my destination and how much money I have. If I need to get there fast,and money isn’t important,I can hire a private taxi. Since I don't own my own car,I don't have that option,and I have never walked 40 miles in one trip. I usually depend on the buses and trains,and would do so in this circumstance. They are cheap,dependable and reliable.

III.阅读理解
People aren’t walking any more—if they can figure out a way to avoid it.
I felt superior about this matter until the other day I took my car to mail a small parcel. The journey is a matter of 281 steps. But I used the car. And I wasn’t in any hurry,either. I had merely become one more victim of a national sickness ：motorosis.
It is an illness to which I had thought myself im-mune (免疫的) ，for I was bred in the tradition of going to places on my own two legs. At that time,we re-garded 25 miles as a good day's walk and the ability to cover such a distance in ten hours as a sign of strength and skill. It did not occur to us that walking was a hardship. And the effect was lasting. When I was 45 years old I raced —and beat—a teenage football player the 168 steps up the Statue of Liberty.
Sudh enterprises today are regarded by many middle-aged persons as bad for the heart. But a well-known British physician,Sir Adolphe Abrahams,pointed out recently that hearts and bodies need proper exercise. A person who avoids exercise is more likely to have illnesses than one who exercises regularly. And walking is an ideal form of exercise—the most familiar and matural of all.
It was Henry Thoreau who showed mankind the richness of going on foot. The man walking can learn the trees,flowers,insects,birds and animals,the significance of seasons,the very feel of himself as a living creature in a living world. He cannot learn in a car.
The car is convenient means of transport,but we have made it our way of life. Many people don't dare to approach Nature any more;to them the world they were born to enjoy is all threat. To them security is a steel river thundering on a concrete road. And much of their thinking takes place while waiting for the traffic light to turn green.
I say that the green of forests is the mind's best light. And none but the man on foot can evaluate what is basic and everlasting.
