Race walking (竞走) shares many fitness benefits with running, research shws, while mst likely leading 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 thrugh mst f the leg swing (摆动) 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. Race walkers mving at a pace f six miles per hur wuld burn abut 800 calries (卡路里) hur, which is almst 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 desn’t d as much harm t the bdy 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 assciated with 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 cnsult (咨询) a cach r experienced racer t learn prper technique, she says. It takes sme practice.

It was Christmas Eve when my elder sister and decided t pen ur presents befre ur mm gt hme frm wrk. She usually came hme abut an hur after we gt hme frm schl, which we thught was plenty f time t take a peek at the gifts under the tree.
My elder sister pened present after present while I was rdered t stand guard at the big windw in ur frnt rm. Finally, when my sister’s curisity was satisfied, we traded places.
After unwrapping a few presents, I fund it faster t pen ne end f a present and peek inside. “Cl! Mm and Dad gt me head phnes fr my stere!” I pulled the headphnes ut f the bx and was abut t put them n when my sister shuted, “Quick! Wrap it back up! Mm’s cming!”
I put the headphnes back hurriedly in the bx but my hands were shaking. My heart punded harder as I tried t get the tape t stick. I had just finished burying the package with my headphnes in it when my mther came int the frnt rm. I jumped up and said, “Hi, Mm!” She smiled at me and said “Hi” back, but didn’t appear t suspect a thing. My heart began t slw as I tk a deep breath.
On Christmas mrning, my sister and I smiled and gave award-winning perfrmances when we pened ur presents — again. “Headphnes!” I shuted. “Thanks, it’s just what I wanted.” After everything had been pened, my sister and I lked at each ther, and ur eyes met. Our secret was safe, but smehw Christmas mrning didn’t feel the same.
My sister and I never pened ur Christmas presents early again. I dn’t knw if it was that pening ur gifts fr the secnd time just wasn’t as much fun as the first time, r if we came t clse t getting caught and didn’t want t think abut what ur mther wuld have dne t us.

There seems t be a lt f talk these days abut what is fair, and what is nt. Mst peple tend t believe life shuld be fair. Sme f the 99% seem t believe life has smehw treated them unfairly, and sme f the 1% feel life hasn’t treated them fairly enugh. My questins are these: What is fairness? Is life fair? Shuld life be fair?
We clearly have n chice abut hw we cme int this wrld. We have little chice early in life. But as we grw lder, chices abund. I have lng believed that while we have n cntrl ver the beginning f ur life, the majrity f us have the ability t influence the utcmes we attain. Fairness is a state f mind, and mst ften, an unhealthy state f mind. Our state in life cannt, r at least shuld nt, be blamed n ur parents, ur teachers, r ur sciety—it’s largely based n the chices we make, and the attitudes we adpt.
Life is full f examples f the uneducated, the mentally and physically challenged peple brn int war-trn areas, wh culd have cmplained abut life being unfair, but wh instead chse a different path. Regardless f the challenges they faced, they had the character t chse cntributin ver cmplaint.
I agree that challenges exist. I agree that many have an uphill battle due t the severity f the challenges they face. What I disagree with is the attempt t use fairness t slve all prblems in the wrld. Rules and rders dn’t create fairness, but peple’s desire and determinatin can wrk arund mst life challenges.
It desn’t matter whether yu are brn with a silver spn, plastic spn, r n spn at all. A friend f mine came t this cuntry frm Africa in his late teens, barely spke the language, drve a cab while wrking his way thrugh cllege, and is nw the president f a technlgy services firm. Stries such as this are all arund us-they are nt miracles, nr are they the rare exceptin. They d, hwever, demnstrate blindness t the mindset f the fairness.
22．What des the underlined wrd “abund” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．Change fully.B．Remain the same.
C．Exist in numbers.D．Disappear cmpletely.
23．What pinin des the writer agree with?
A．Mst f us can influence the results we achieve.
B．Our backgrund determines ur chices.
C．Peple’s desire and determinatin create unfairness.
D．We shuld depend n fairness t slve all prblems.
24．What is the primary purpse f the text?
A．T prmte effrts ver cmplaint.
B．T stress the imprtance f fairness.
C．T share an inspiring stry f a friend.
D．T prve that fairness is a state f mind.
25．Which f the fllwing can be the best title fr the text?
A．Fairness Is JusticeB．Life Is Nt Fair—Deal With It
C．Fairness Cmes FirstD．Fairness Creates Chances

In the recently pened Our Brken Planet exhibitin in Lndn’s Natural Histry Museum, a small piece f dark material cvered with faint hles is n shw in a display cntainer. The ndule(小块) culd easily be mistaken fr cal, but its true nature is much mre interesting.
The ndule is a cmbinatin f metals and ceangraphers have discvered trillins f them n Earth’s cean flrs. Each is rich in sme f the mst imprtant elements fr making the electric cars, wind turbines and slar panels that we need t replace the carbn-emitting mtrs, pwer plants and factries nw damaging ur climate.
These ndules culd therefre help humanity save itself frm the ill effects f glbal warming, argue mining cmpanies wh say their explitatin shuld be rated an internatinal pririty. By mining up chunks(块) frm the deep we can slw the burning f ur planet’s surface.
“We desperately need substantial amunts f metals cntained by these ndules t build electric cars and pwer plants,” says Hans Smit, chief executive f Flrida’s Oceans Minerals, which has annunced plans t mine fr ndules. “We cannt increase land supplies f these metals withut having a significant envirnmental impact. It’s ur nly alternative. ”
Other researchers disagree, hwever. They say mining deep-sea ndules wuld be disastrus fr ur already stressed, plastic-ridden, verheated ceans. Delicate, lng-living residents f the deep — shells, fish, crals and squids — wuld be erased by mining. At the same time, mud with pisnus metals wuld be sent upwards t disturb marine fd-chains.
“It is hard t imagine hw seabed mines culd wrkably perate withut destrying the cean species,” says UK marine bilgist Helen Scales, a view shared by David Attenbrugh, wh has called fr a pause n all deep-sea mining plans. “In this case it means the destructin f an ecsystem, an issue wrth the best attentin frm every entity(实体) invlved. ”he says.
Fr better r wrse, these mineral ndules are ging t play a critical rle in determining ur future — either by releasing us frm ur current eclgical headaches r by stimulating even mre fatal utcmes.
29．Which f the fllwing best describes the ndule n display?
A．An interesting artificial artwrk.B．A difficult-t-tell chunk f cal.
C．An ceanic piece rich in metals.D．A cntainer fr electric materials.
30．What d the underlined wrds “ur nly alternative” in the paragraph 4 refer t?
A．New technlgy fr pwer plants.B．Massive prductin f electric cars.
C．Land explitatin fr mre minerals.D．Underwater mining fr specific metals.
31．What is David’s majr cncern fr deep-sea ndule explitatin?
A．The disrderly mvements f cean species.
B．The disturbance f eclgical balance at sea.
C．The peratinal wrkability fr seabed mining.
D．The uneven distributin f prfits amng entities.
32．Why d the mineral ndules play a critical rle in determining ur future?
A．They can be used bth fr gd and fr bad.
B．Their explitatin can bring ppsing effects.
C．They cntain beneficial and harmful elements.
D．Their expliters cannt reach agreement till nw.
When I was 9 and walking n the rad, the peple f my village frwned at me, a yung girl in a schl unifrm. They asked Dad, “Why waste yur mney like this?” Dad said nthing and tld me t walk ahead. Educatin was very imprtant t him. He wuld sit us dwn and paint a picture with clrs f the future he saw fr us in every letter we wrte, in every math prblem we slved.
Hwever, tday as I sit at my wedding, there are still plenty f clrs all ver the rm: red n my nails, gld necklaces arund my neck, and white rses lying in the center. Wmen in pink frm all ver the village sit in a circle playing the hand-drum. My uncle spared n expense when it came t decratins, jewelry and clthing — which was irnic(讽刺的), because bviusly, he had n ther financial ptin but t marry ff his 15-year-ld niece wh was declared his respnsibility after the tragic death f his sister and brther-in-law. But it was a matter f izzat he said, nt wanting t cheaper himself.
Izzat, what a funny wrd. It was s delicately placed n the shulders f every wman in this sciety, getting heavier as she grws lder yet smehw weaker — the tiniest wind can tear it t pieces. Izzat. Maybe ne day I’ll live in a village where izzat is trn up thrugh marrying a girl twenty-three years yunger than yu, and by selling ff yur nly daughter because there was n ther slutin fr yur pr family.
Maybe ne day, I’ll live in a wrld where the birth f a girl isn’t fllwed by a sigh r a ‘Never mind. Next time. ‘On that day, we’ll hand ver crayns t ur yung girls, and watch them clr ur wrld; we’ll tell them: deepen the blue f the sky by flying planes thrugh them, paint the grass greener with every ftball match yu play and leave traces f silver frm the surgical knife in yur hand — take any ther clr yu need and draw rainbws upn rainbws until they’re enugh t build a bridge t yur dreams. One day, fr sure.
