W: It’s 8:00 am, and I’m on the platform at Sullivan Station. I’m waiting for the train to central station. I’m noticing that they’ve made improvements to this station. It’s cleaner, there are benches to sit on, and there’s art on the walls. Because of that, this part of my trip has become more pleasant. Now it’s 8:30. I’ve arrived at the central station. The No. 3 bus is in the weary side, and the bus is often very crowded at this time, so I choose to walk to my office. Still I have to say that trains and buses and walking are all better than driving. Traffic is getting worse every day and parking is more expensive. I guess it’s worth leaving my car at home. This is Jenny Waxlo reporting.

【题目】根据短文理解,选择正确答案。
If you are sitting, please stand up. Move your legs. Touch your toes if you can. Do anything but sit. New research shows that if you cut down on the time you spend sitting, you might live longer. Sitting less than three hours a day might extend your life by two years. Cutting television time to less than two hours a day can add one point four years to life.
The human body is designed to move. The fact is just the opposite. Modern lifestyles and office jobs rarely give us the chance to move around. We sit while we're eating; we sit in the car; we sit while we are watching TV. And most of us sit for many hours at work. Sitting is something we do all the time. On average, Americans sit for four and a half to five hours a day. But that does not make sitting good for us.
Though you may exercise often, that does not mean you can sit for the rest of your waking hours. We can't throw away physical activity. It is extremely important. Even if you exercise for 30 minutes a day, what goes on in the other 23 and a half hours a day is also very important.
Changes are coming to some offices, especially in the design of desks. A “standing desk” lets people stand while they work. Another new design is called the “treadmill desk”. It is an exercise machine that lets you walk slowly in one place. Even some U.S. schools begin to experiment with desks that are part bicycle to keep children moving.
Many companies may not buy a standing desk for everybody. However, they may get five standing desks or a treadmill desk for their employees and put them in a certain place where people can go for an hour a day to answer their emails or talk on the phone. Experts suggest some other activities: take a walk at lunchtime; walk to the offices and talk directly instead of emailing colleagues. All these activities may help you live longer.
(1)Why should people stand up according to the new research?
A.They should touch their toes.
B.Standing more can cure some diseases.
C.Sitting less does people good and may help people live longer.
D.They spend too much time watching TV.
(2)What can we learn about sitting?
A.Sitting is the best position for the body.
B.People usually have to sit for a long time nowadays.
C.The more people sit, the better they will be.
D.Americans sit longer every day than people in other countries.
(3)What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.The walking hour
B.Sitting
C.Standing.
D.Exercising
(4)Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.The new design of desks can help people sit less.
B.The “treadmill desk” is used by people to run.
C.It's better for school students to use standing desks.
D.It's necessary for companies to offer a sitting desk to every employees.

【题目】根据短文理解,选择正确答案。
Paparazzi, (狗仔队)or “paps”, are photographers who take pictures of famous people when they are not at the center of public attention. Paps are different from professional photographers or journalists because they never take ordinary photos.
The goal for paparazzi is to get pictures that no one else will get and then sell the pictures to the buyer who offers the most money — normainly a small newspaper, magazine or website.
There is no law against paparazzi taking pictures in public places. However, there are laws that protect certain individuals. For example, child protection laws stop improper pictures of anyone under 16 from being published.
There is also no law that stops paparazzi from following celebrities(名人) and taking their pictures either. However, if paps are secretly following them and taking pictures of their faces, they could get into trouble.
Most paparazzi hang out on streets and hot spots for celebrities, waiting for the opportunity to take a picture of a star. Many stay on the streets until the early hours of the morning when celebrities are leaving nightclubs and looking a little worse for wear. However, some have other ways to make sure they get pictures. Many paps are in contact with “informers” who know the locations of celebrities at any given time. They then pass the information on to paparazzi. An informer could be anyone — from a restaurant waiter to a salesman.
Most of the time, paparazzi get a bad reputation for following celebrities. But sometimes stars or their managers will contact paps themselves and tell them exactly where and when they will go. What a love-hate relationship between paparazzi and celebrities!
(1)Which of the following things paparazzi might do would be against the law?
A.Taking pictures of famous people in public places.
B.Getting unsuitable pictures of a 10-year-old actress published.
C.Following a famous woman singer secretly and taking her pictures.
D.Hanging out at the places where celebrities often appear.
(2)In order to earn big money a pap has to ________.
A.make friends with famous people
B.sell the pictures to a big newspaper
C.get the only first-hand pictures
D.know the locations of celebrities
(3)The fifth paragraph mainly tells us ________.
A.how much paparazzi pay for the pictures
B.how dangerous paparazzi's job is
C.how paparazzi contact informers .
D.how paparazzi get the pictures
(4)What can we infer from the passage?
A.Paparazzi always take pictures when famous people are tired.
B.Stars hate paparazzi and don't want to be followed.
C.Informers might get paparazzi into trouble.
D.Paparazzi and famous people rely on each other sometimes.
(5)The underlined phrase "hang out" probably means _______.
A.check out
B.keep away

It was a sunny day today and I went to Xishan Park for a spring outing. The moment I entered in the park, a variety of beautiful flowers and green trees come into sight. Attracted by the beauty, I couldn't stop taking photo. As I wandered along the path, enjoy the beautiful view, I noticed something unpleasantly. Two schoolgirls jumped the fence to pick flowers. Obviously they didn't realize that their behavior had done great damage on the beauty of the park. Without delay, I went up and stopped them politely. Quite embarrassing, the two girls came out immediately. Then we took pictures outside the fence. Seeing that, I smiled and something looked nicer in my eyes.

【题目】根据短文理解,选择正确答案。
Canada is one of the few nations in the world to have two official languages:English and French. There are 10 provinces in the country but only one of these—Quebec is known as "French Canada". This is because it was founded by French explorers while British adventurers discovered the rest.
Canada left the Britain in 1867 to become an independent country, and English and French have been recognized as the official languages ever since.
Most people speak English as their first language and the two national television networks broadcast in English throughout the country. Apart from in Quebec and a few places on the east coast, French television is very rare.
The same goes for traffic signs and menus, for example. Outside of Quebec, there are only a few places where you'll see traffic signs in French. In restaurants, it's almost impossible to find French on the menu unless you are in the heartland of French Canada. However, all products sold in Canada must, by law, have labels(标签)and instructions in both languages.
In Canada's English speaking provinces, official bilingualism(双语)means that students can choose to complete a special French language course. Under this programme, they are taught most of their subjects in French. If a student begins the course in kindergarten(幼儿园)or Grade One, it is likely that all their lessons will be in French. However, if they start at junior high school, 25 per cent of the teaching will continue to be in English.
(1)How many provinces are there in Canada?
A.Ten
B.Nine
C.Eleven
D.Two
(2)Which country controlled Canada before its independence?
A.France.
B.Britain.
C.America.
D.Germany.
(3)Which of the following sentences is Right?
A.English is the only official language, though French is also spoken there.
B.The two national television networks broadcast both in English and French.
C.All products sold in Canada must be explained in both English and French.
D.In any restaurant in Canada, you can find French on the menu.
(4)In Canada's English speaking provinces, what does official bilingualism means?
A.Students have to complete a special French language course.
B.Under the programme, the students are mainly taught in English.
C.If a student begins a special French language course, in kindergarten or Grade one all his lessons may be in French.
D.When the students are at junior high school, they will only be taught in English.
