Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature．However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment．

       Some sports are resource-hungry．Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water．Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses in good condition．This causes major environmental effects．For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas．

       There are many environment-friendly sports．Power walking is one of them that you could take up today．You don’t need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don’t have to worry about resources and your purse．Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit．If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones．Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control．

       Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials．But the final goal should be “green gyms”．They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers．Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces．There is no special requirement for you to start your membership．And best of all, it’s free．

4．Which of the following is the author most probably in favor of?

I graduated in 2004 and moved to Israel, making a career as an English teacher. I am always looking for interesting projects to get my students more inspired to learn the language. Through Facebook, I saw that Kirstin, a friend of mine, was teaching at a school in an East African country. I contacted Kirstin and asked her if she would like to do a letter exchange between my students in Jerusalem and her students in Tanzania.

It took a while to wait for Kirstin’s answer because Internet access is not easy to come in the countryside of Tanzania, but when she finally was able to connect, she responded with a huge yes.

Two months later, a package arrived. The students gathered around my table in class, and we went over the letters together. “My name is Nelson,” one letter read. “I am 13 years old. I live in Njombe, Tanzania. I like to play ball, to ride a bike, and to read books.” Below the handwritten letter was a colorful drawing of a boy wearing traditional Tanzanian clothing.

My students were excited. “This is so cool! What a great project,” shouted one of my students, Hadas. This was followed by a group of students asking if we could travel to Tanzania to meet their new friends. One student, Nir, suggested maybe they could simply become friends on Facebook instead. “The kids don’t have Facebook accounts. And there’s very limited Internet access in their area of Tanzania, I explained to them.

It was hard for my students to imagine that there were places in the world where teens did not have online social networking systems.

The pen pal project gave my students the chance to not only practice their English, but to also learn about other areas in our world.

8. Why did the author get in touch with Kirstin?

A. To get to know East Africa.

B. To learn English online from her.

C. To let two classes write to each other.

D. To ask her for advice about teaching English.

9. How did Kirstin react to the author’s request?

A. She turned it down. B. She accepted it willingly.

C. She replied immediately. D. She never showed up online.

10. What was the attitude of the author’s students toward the project?

A. Disappointed. B. Uncaring.

C. Favorable. D. Doubtful.

11. What is the best title for this text?

A. Two Heads Are Better Than One

B. A friend In Need Is A Friend Indeed

C. How Writing Letters Improves People’s Relationships

D. How A Class Pen Pal Project Connected Two Continents

D

The bus stops in the Dutch city of Utrecht are as beautiful as they are practical. Now, 316 bus stops feature a green roof that adds some life to the city, while also storing rainwater, catching dust, and providing some much needed shade during the warmer months. This project is good for the honey bee population that is attracted to the plants on the roof. To keep up this successful ecosystem, municipal（市政的）workers drive around in electric cars, taking care of the mini gardens.

Another one of the biggest benefits to come out of these green stops is the improved air quality. Smoking, cars, and bacteria all contribute to polluting the air we breathe. These eco-friendly public spaces act as an air purifier for city people, though humans aren’t the only group that benefit from them.

Utrecht has also made great efforts towards moving their transportation system away from gas-guzzling（高耗油的）buses. The city replaced 10 gas-guzzling buses with electric powered buses and plans to have only CO2 inactive buses on the road by 2028.

The buses have a system that records the driver’s efficiency and rider’s comfort levels. Drivers can win prizes based on how safe and comfortable the ride was. The city is also one of the most bicycle-friendly places in the world. Roads have been redesigned for cyclists’ convenience and there is a new state-of-the-art 6,000 space bicycle parking area that is located beneath Utrecht’s central train station.

Utrecht offers prize money to keep citizens energized and motivated to live greener lives. There are even prize money for people to transform their roofs into green roofs too. Achieving the goals of an eco-friendlier city takes cooperation and Utrecht is leading the way to protect our environment.

12. What is special about the bus stops in Utrecht?

A. They are eco-friendly.

B. They can save a lot of energy.

C. They are artificially-intelligent.

D. They can provide electric power for buses.

13. What can we infer about the changes to the transportation system in Utrecht?

A. Not all buses are gas-guzzling at present.

B. Gas-guzzling cars have been completely replaced.

C. Only electric private cars are allowed on the roads.

D. Buses have air purifiers fixed on them.

14. What might passengers think of the bus service in Utrecht?

A. Buses are always too crowded.

B. Buses are often behind schedule.

C. Buses are too big for redesigned roads.

D. Buses are generally comfortable and safe.

15. What are people living in Utrecht encouraged to do?

A. Give up smoking. B. Create gardens on their roofs.

C. Paint their roofs green. D. Buy more honey.
