17.Jumping across cities

Forget about expensive gyms,the new sport in cities is ree-running.Since it started in a Paris suburb around 1995,free-running has attracted lots of fans in cities around the world.Instead of walking normally,free-runners jump over or around anything-cars,buildings,trees,or streetlights-in their way.
One of the sport's inventors told our reporter how free-running started.
It was boring where we lived.There was nothing for us to do after school.We had done playground games like football and basketball when we were kids but we wanted something new and exciting.We started learning how to jump and run between buildings-and we loved it.Walking is a waste of time.Free-runners have to use their imaginations.Everything-a tree,a streetlight-is part of our outdoor gym.We're like children because we have never stopped playing in the street.
The sport's website has lots of rules,for example,don't break  people's  windows,don't jump on flowerbeds and don't be rude to people who want you to stop.Safety is also very important.You must start with the easy moves-you have to do thousands of small practice jumps before you try anything difficult.If you made only one mistake,you might hurt yourself badly.
A local person said,"It's good that young people have something to do.But when they jump off buildings like cats they sometimes frighten other people."
 
Don't try this at home the basics of free-running
Blind Jump a jump where you can't see the landing spot.
Tic-tac run and put your foot on a small step,go forward and jump over the next thing.
Basic Jump run and jump,land on two feet while bending your knees.To finish roll into head-over-heels.
Cat Jump run towards a wall,put both hands on the top of the wall and jump through your arms.

D.a(chǎn)mong famous sportsmen
37.Free-runners shouldn'tC.

12.Since the first Earth Day in 1970,American have gotten a lot"greener"toward the environment."We didn't know at that time there even was an environment,let alone that there was a problem with it,"says Bruce Anderson,president of Earth Day USA.
But what began as nothing important in public affairs has grown into a social movement.Business people,political leaders,university professors,and especially millions of grass-roots Americans are taking part in the movement."The understanding has increased many,many times,"says Gaylord Nelson,the former governor from Wisconsin,who thought up the first Earth Day.
According to US government reports,emissions (排放) from cars and trucks have dropped from 10.3million tons a year to 5.5tons.The number of cities producing CO beyond the standard has been reduced from 40to 9.Although serious problems still remain and need to be dealt with,the world is a safer and healthier place.A kind of"Green thinking"has become part of practices.
Great improvement has been achieved.In 1988there were only 600recycling programs; today in 1995there are about 6,600.Advanced lights,motors,and building designs have helped save a lot of energy and therefore prevented pollution.
Twenty-five years ago,there were hardly any education programs for environment.Today,it's hard to find a public school,university,or law school that does not have such a kind of program."Until we do that,nothing else will change!"say Bruce Anderson.

35.According to Anderson,before 1970,Americans had little idea aboutC.
A.the social movement     B.recycling techniques
C.environmental problems  D.the importance of Earth Day
36.Where does the support for environmental protection mainly come from?A
A.The grass-roots level. B.The business circle.
C.Government officials.  D.University professors.
37.What have Americans achieved in environmental protection?D
A.They have cut car emissions to the lowest.
B.They have settled their environmental problems.
C.They have lowered their CO levels in forty cities.
D.They have reduced pollution through effective measures.
38.What is especially important for environmental protection according to the last paragraph?A
A.Education. B.Planning. C.Green living. D.CO reduction.

I love deserted dogs.They are certainly different from other dogs-not because they are"damaged",but because they are thankful.They  (53)C   know they have been given another chance and they love you   (54)A   it.
Monti has now become used to his new life with me.He is happy and  (55)B  and has almost fully recovered from the palsy.My family will be forever grateful for his heroic deed that granted us that extra precious time with our mother.
