In the United States, elementary and middle schools are advised to give students two and a half hours of physical activity a week.
Yet many schools across the country have reduced their physical education programs. Criticism（批評(píng)） of the cuts has led in some places to efforts to give students more time for exercise, not less.
A study reported that life expectancy（壽命） has fallen or is no longer increasing in some parts of the United States. The situation is worst among poor people in the southern states, and especially women. Public health researchers say it is largely the result of increases in obesity（肥胖）, smoking and high blood pressure. They also blame differences in health services around the country.
A study found that only four percent of elementary schools provided daily physical education all year for all grades. This was true of eight percent of middle schools and two percent of high schools. The study also found that twenty-two percent of all schools did not require students to take any P.E.
Charlene Burgeson is the executive director of the National Association for Sport and Physical Education. She says one problem for P.E. teachers is that schools are under pressure to put more time into academic subjects. Also, parents may agree that children need exercise in school.
But experts say P.E. classes have changed. They say the goal has moved away from competition and toward personal performance, as a way to build a lifetime of activity. These days, teachers often lead activities like weight training.
Some parents like the idea of avoiding competitive sports in P.E. class. Yet others surely dislike that idea. In the end, schools may find themselves in a no-win situation.

  1. 1.

    . How many reasons have caused some Americans’ life expectancy to fall?

    1. A.
      Three.
    2. B.
      Four.
    3. C.
      Five.
    4. D.
      Six.
  2. 2.

     The underlined part “that idea” (the last paragraph) refers to _______.

    1. A.
      competitive sports
    2. B.
      a lifetime of activity
    3. C.
      no-win situation
    4. D.
      uncompetitive exercise
  3. 3.

    . From the passage we can infer that _______.

    1. A.
      physically active children have more chances to be fit when growing up
    2. B.
      most American schools let students take physical activity enough
    3. C.
      the older a student is, the less exercise he gets
    4. D.
      not all parents think exercise is good for students
  4. 4.

    . The passage mainly tells us about _______.

    1. A.
      school and students’ health
    2. B.
      how to make children healthy
    3. C.
      American schools’ physical education

One way to request for general donations is to tie it into a campaign like “Buy-A-Brick to Help Build a School in Bolivia”.  Make sure you have some literature to give people as well as a registration form(登記表) that includes name, address, and how many bricks the person purchased.
University Funds
If you are a student, one major source of funding is your own college or university. Many school clubs can raise a certain amount of funds through student activities. See if your club is suitable.
Letter Writing
One of the most effective ways of raising money is to do a letter campaign to as many relatives, friends, former teachers, etc. as possible. Sending a detailed letter to over 100 friends and relatives explaining the program and what you hope to accomplish while you’re on it will help you reach your goal.
Parties, Dances, Music
Use the “Who Do You Know” principle. Do you have a friend in a band? Do you know the owner of a bar or restaurant? Some simple events include playing in a band at a club, and your group gets the cover charge or a percentage of the drink sales.
Exhibitions
This is limited to people with professional art genius. If you are an artist, you can ask friends to help you hold exhibitions and donate your profit to charity or give people who need financial help.
Note: Please remember there are some people who are not so lucky as we are and it’s our duty to help them.

  1. 1.

      What can you do?
    4. D.

Once a neighbour stole one of Washington’s horses. Washington went with a police officer to the neighbour’s farm to get the horse, but the neighbour refused to give the horse up; he claimed (聲稱) that it was his horse.

SYDNEY (AFP) — Thousands of people sat down to breakfast on the Sydney Harbor Bridge on Sunday after the bridge was closed to traffic and carpeted with grass for the first time for a giant picnic.
About 6,000 early riser were on the steel bridge from 6:30 am to take part in the two-hour event designed to show Sydney’s best food and outdoor lifestyle.

Throughout our childhood our parents taught us to say “thank you” and it has become a habit — something we say automatically (自動(dòng)地), along with “please”. And because of this we have forgotten just how important gratitude is and how essential it is in leading fulfilled (感到滿足的) lives.
Just for a minute, think of all the things you are grateful for, such as loving friends, good health, great holidays as well as everyday items such as a comfortable home, TV, and clean water. The list, in fact, could go on and on.
Now focus on events that have made you angry — it’s raining, the car won’t start, and a colleague (同事) makes you annoyed. You start to feel unhappy, and that is something that certainly does not make you feel good！
In fact, we have the ability to choose how we feel — it’s just our perception (認(rèn)識(shí)) of how things are. But for most of us, it just doesn’t seem easy.
Let me give you an example: it’s a rainy day, and immediately most people will start to complain, telling everyone who will listen what a miserable day it is, with the result that they end up feeling miserable themselves. But look at it another way and despite wet clothes and hair, both will dry perfectly well and no lasting harm has been done. And in addition to this, because of rain, we not only live in a green and beautiful landscape, we are also able to grow a lot of fruit and vegetables.
There really is no obvious reason for feeling miserable — in fact there is a great deal to be grateful for. It all depends on what we think about things.
Realize what a difference having gratitude can make to your life. That’s why gratitude is so special — use it to feel good!

  1. 1.

    What do we usually do automatically according to the author?

    1. A.
      Focus on good things.                                 
    2. B.
      Prefer to feel good.
    3. C.
      Express thanks orally.                                 
    4. D.
      Take many things for granted.
  2. 2.

    By the example in the fifth paragraph, the author advises us to _____.

    1. A.
      see things in a different way                         
    2. B.
      refuse the unchangeable things
    3. C.
      ignore the harm bad weather does                 
    4. D.
      listen to others’ complaints patiently
  3. 3.

    By writing the passage, the author mainly wants to tell us _____.

    1. A.
      to think twice before we act                         
    2. B.
      to be grateful for what we have
    3. C.
      it is no use making complaints                      
    4. D.
      saying “thank you” has many disadvantages

On the first day of the new term, I met my new headmaster at the school gate. “Follow me, please!” he said. He had a quiet, kind voice. He took me into my new classroom and left. In front of me, thirty pairs of eyes looked at me. I knew he had told the students that I was blind. I could almost feel the question behind their eyes: Blind? I felt the answer too: If she’s blind, this should be good! I heard quiet voices in a corner of the classroom. For a moment, I felt afraid. I knew at once that I had to be strong.
“Class,” I said as loudly as I could. “I may be blind. But I am not foolish. Take those naughty smiles off your faces, and stop talking, please!” Of course, I could not see their faces; I just guessed that some of them were smiling. The class were quiet. They were very surprised. I knew that I had done the right thing.
As the days went by, the students had more surprises. I could smell when the children were eating sweets. I could easily hear combs going through hair, students passing messages, and so on. Once I found a girl passing a message to a friend. I took the message to the teachers’ room. A teacher read it to me. On one side it said, “Do you think she can see?” on the other it said, “I think so. She always knows what we’re doing.”
Soon the students stopped being naughty, and started to work hard. Before long, they brought in photos of their families for me to look at; I knew then they were my friends. I also knew they had forgotten that I could not see.
