This was the first real task I received in my new schl. It seemed simple: g n the Internet and find infrmatin abut a man named Gerge Washingtn. As I searched the name, I fund that there were tw famus peple having the same name wh lked cmpletely different! One invented hundreds f uses fr peanuts, while the ther led sme srt f army acrss America. I stared at the screen, wndering which ne my teacher meant. I called my grandfather fr a glden piece f advice; let the cin decide. I threw a cin and Ah! Tails (背面)! My reprt wuld be abut the great man wh invented peanut butter, Gerge Washingtn Carver.
Weeks later, I std in frnt f the classrm and prudly read my hmewrk. But things started t get strange. I lked arund the rm, nly t find my classmates with big smiles n their faces and tears in their eyes and my stne-faced teacher. I was cmpletely lst. “What culd be causing everyne t act this way?”
Oh well, I drpped the paper and sat dwn at my desk, burning t find ut what I had dne wrng. As a classmate began his reprt, it all became clear, “My reprt is n Gerge Washingtn, the man wh started the American War f Independence.” The whle wrld became quiet!

Of curse my subject result was awful. Sad but fearless, I decided t turn this arund. I talked t the headmaster Miss Lancelt, but she said firmly: N re-ds; n new scre.

Ten mnths later, I sat in the headmaster’s ffice again, but this time a cmpletely different cnversatin.

The Gvernment’s sugar tax n sft drinks has brught in half as much mney as Ministers first predicted it wuld generate, the first fficial data n the plicy has shwn.
First annunced in April, 2016, the tax which applies t sft drinks cntaining mre than 5g f sugar per 100ml, was intrduced t help reduce childhd besity (肥胖). It is believed that tday’s children and teenagers are cnsuming three times the recmmended level f sugar, putting them at a higher risk f the disease.
Initially the sugar tax was expected t make £520m a year fr the Treasury. Hwever data f the first six mnths shwed it wuld make less than half this amunt. At present it is expected t generate £240m fr the year ending in April 2019, which will g t schl sprts.

Tday’s figures, accrding t ne gvernment fficial, shw the psitive influence the sugar tax is having by raising millins f punds fr sprts facilities (设施) and healthier eating in schls. Helping the next generatin t have a healthy and active childhd is f great imprtance, and the industry is playing its part.

Mst kids can walk int a library r bkstre and find hundreds f bks t read. But it’s nt that simple fr kids wh are blind. They read in a different way. Jenny Lee and ther braille (盲文) transcribers take the printed wrds f a bk and change them int a cde f raised dts. Blind peple can read these dts with their fingers. T knw what braille feels like, take a ballpint pen and press hard nt a piece f paper. Nw turn the paper ver and tuch the raised dt made by the pen pint.
When Lee first saw the dts f the braille alphabet, she wndered if she’d ever be able t read and write them easily. She tk a class and practised hard fr abut six mnths befre she passed the final exam: she had t cnvert 35 pages f a bk int braille. Tday, Lee wrks fr a publisher. One f her jbs is t change children’s bks int braille.
T d this, Lee first types the stry int a cmputer and then uses a cmputer prgram t translate it int the braille cde. Next, she lks ver the translatin several times t make sure it’s mistake-free. After that, a cpy f the braille stry is printed with a special printer. Then Lee and a prfreader wrk tgether t find and crrect any mistakes. When a bk is ready, many cpies f it are printed. Afterwards, sme are sld thrugh websites and thers are sent t libraries.
Smetimes, ging ver a stry again and again gets tiring. That’s when Lee takes a break. Several f Jenny Lee’s c-wrkers, wh are blind, use guide dgs. When the animals aren’t wrking, Lee likes spending a few minutes with them. T her, playing with dgs “is always a pick-me-up in the middle f the day”.
“I lve this missin,” Lee says. “Thrugh my brain pwer and my fingers, I am putting the dts int sme kid’s hands.”

Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shws, while mst likely cntributing t fewer injuries. It des, hwever, have its wn prblem.
Race walkers are cnditined athletes. The lngest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50-kilmeter race walk, which is abut five miles lnger than the marathn. But the sprt’s rules require that a race walker’s knees stay straight and ne ft remain in cntact with the grund at all times. It’s this strange frm that makes race walking such an attractive activity, hwever, says Jaclyn Nrberg, an assistant prfessr f exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass.
Like running, race walking is physically demanding, she says. Accrding t mst calculatins, race walkers mving at a pace f six miles per hur wuld burn abut 800 calries per hur, which is apprximately twice as many as they wuld burn walking, althugh fewer than running, which wuld prbably burn abut 1,000 r mre calries per hur.
Hwever, race walking des nt pund the bdy as much as running des, Dr. Nrberg says. Accrding t her research, runners hit the grund with as much as fur times their bdy weight per step, while race walkers, wh d nt leave the grund, create nly abut 1.4 times their bdy weight with each step.
As a result, she says, sme f the injuries related t running, such as runner’s knee, are uncmmn amng race walkers. But the sprt’s strange frm des place cnsiderable stress n the ankles and hips, s peple with a histry f such injuries might want t be cautius in adpting the sprt. In fact, anyne wishing t try race walking shuld prbably first talk with a cach r experienced racer t learn prper technique, she says. It takes sme practice.
12. Why are race walkers cnditined athletes?
A. They have t fllw special rules.B. They are suitable fr the marathn.
C. They must run lng distances.D. They are gd at swinging their legs.
13. What advantage des race walking have ver running?
A. It’s mre effective in bdy building.B. It’s less challenging physically.
C. It’s less likely t cause knee injuries.D. It’s mre ppular at the Olympics.
14. What is Dr. Nrberg’s suggestin fr smene trying race walking?
A. becming an experienced cach.B. Having a medical checkup.
C. Ding regular exercises.D. Getting experts’ pinins.
15. Which wrd best describes the authr’s attitude t race walking?
A. Objective.B. Negative.C. Dubtful.D. Psitive.
