A lot of us spend most of our working day sitting at the computer without moving at all. So, how does the world keep fit Let's have a look at some of the latest exercises from around the world.
Towerrunning is a sport you can do in the tall buildings of almost any big city. All you need to do is start at the bottom of an office tower and run up all the stairs until you get to the top. Now, towerrunning has become popular with important races taking place in some of the world's tallest towers, like the China World Trade Centre in Beijing.
Piloxing started in the USA. The sport is a mix between boxing, pilates（普拉提）and dance. Piloxing uses the power and speed of boxing, while building your muscles and strength with pilates. All of this happens to non-stop loud music, and you learn some great dance moves too.
Paddle boarding on the ocean might look easy, but it is a tough sport. You need to be strong to keep your balance. The sport was adapted from surfing and it had its roots in Polynesia where people used paddling for both work and play-from transport to catching waves.
Trapeze may remind you of the circus act-people fly, dance and move from side to side through the air. Jules Leotard developed the art of trapeze in the mid-nineteenth century in France. To perform trapeze, people must develop upper-body strength to turn and fly.
Are you ready Even a short amount of exercise every day can help us to feel happier and more relaxed.

In 2009 in a small town, Todd Bol came up with an idea to share his mother's love of reading with others. Bol's mother had been a teacher who had loved reading. He decided to build a wooden box and fill it with books. Bol placed the box of books on a post in his front yard with a sign that read “Free Books”. Soon his neighbours noticed this tiny model of a “schoolhouse”. They began taking the books and replacing them with books of their own. The tiny library allowed people the opportunity to “check out” books day or night.
Bol's friends and neighbours wanted little libraries of their own. Bol built several and gave them away. One of his friends, Rick, believed that Bol's little libraries could benefit more than just local friends and neighbours. With these ideas in mind, Bol and Rick came up with a plan to build over 2,500 Little Free Libraries around the world. They believed that books should be available to all people, no matter where they live or what their background is. To help achieve their goal, Bol and Rick created a website that provides information about the Little Free Libraries and how people can establish little libraries of their own.
Thanks to Bol and Rick, the Little Free Libraries are encouraging people to read more. They didn't just provide books. They also helped build friendships and a sense of belonging among community members. As more and more people visited Bol's little library, they began talking with one another. They shared thoughts, ideas, and stories. They got to know one another. Everyone loved the little library. After all, as Bol says, “It's a magic box with books. People tell us all the time that they've met more people in a week than they have in a lifetime.”
Today there are more than 25,000 Little Free Libraries around the world, and they can be found on almost every continent.
20、From whom did Todd Bol get the idea of Little Free Libraries
A.His mother. B.His teacher. C.His neighbours. D.His friends.
21、Bol and Rick created a website mainly to ______.
A. make more money B.establish online libraries
C.replace paper books with e-books D.provide information and guidance
22、What have the Little Free Libraries brought to the community
A.New buildings. B.More visitors.
C.Friendly relationships. D.Green environment.
23、What can we learn from the story
A.Well begun, half done.
B. Don't judge a book by its cover.
C.A friend in need is a friend indeed.
D.Little people can make a big difference.
For thousands of years, people have trained and studied homing pigeons. These birds adopt a homing spot by the time they are six weeks old. When released from unfamiliar places, they have the unbelievable ability to return to their home.
On its journey home: a pigeon can fly over 500 miles in a single day. In one study, some homing pigeons were released from Africa and flew over 7,000 miles to arrive safely at their home in England. Throughout their journey which took 55 days, they flew a surprisingly straight path home.
Homing pigeons have served people in many ways throughout the years. Hospitals used pigeons to deliver medicine. In World War I, pilots brought the pigeons along as they flew missions. If their plane was disabled, the pilot would release the pigeon with a message stating his location and calling for help. Today, there are over 4 million trained homing pigeons around the world.
We recognize the homing pigeons' amazing ability to navigate（确定方向）, but scientists are still puzzled as to how these birds can return home accurately. Many scientists discovered that the bumps on a homing pigeon's beak contain iron particles （粒子）which are pointing to the North Pole much like a man-made compass.
Scientists arranged an experiment to test the theory that birds use these iron particles to navigate. They placed magnets（磁铁）, which would influence the magnetic field, on the back of pigeons. They found that this prevented some pigeons' ability from flying home. However, many of these birds still navigated effectively. This indicated that the magnetic field is not the only factor involved in the homing pigeon's ability to navigate.
Since then, scientists have found that pigeons can sense sounds that humans cannot hear, and that “sound fields” may also help them navigate. A theory that birds have a highly developed sense of smell that they use to navigate is also being tested. At this time, scientists believe that homing pigeons most likely use a mixture of systems to find their way home.
24、When are homing pigeons able to navigate to a homing spot
A.After a long-distance flight. B.Since their birth.
C.When they're six weeks old. D.When they're well-trained.
25、How did the homing pigeon help people in World War I
A.By misleading the enemy. B.By sending messages.
C.By delivering medicine. D.By acting as a GPS.
26、What is the function of the bumps on the homing pigeon's beak
A.Finding the way. B.Keeping balance.
C.Noticing smells. D.Sensing sounds.
27、What do the last two paragraphs mainly talk about
A.Practical uses of the homing pigeon.
B.Training techniques for the homing pigeon.
C.The physical structure of the homing pigeon.
D.The navigation systems of the homing pigeon.
The body gives off many gases. Although some smells may signal a need to bathe or that you ate a certain meal, other gases might point to serious disease. Now, researchers have come up with a system that uses earmuffs to catch the disease-signaling gases. Doctors could get the information as patients wear a set of earmuffs. Results could be ready within minutes.
“The ear is a good place to monitor,” explains Johnson, a biomedical engineer. The ear's skin is fairly thin, he notes. So gases don't have to travel far to get out of the blood and escape through skin pores（毛孔）.
To collect the gases, Johnson and his team selected earmuffs that make a tight seal（密封）with the head. These are the type people often wear to protect the ears from loud noise. His team made two holes in the muff covering one ear. A tube slowly pumped air in one hole. Another tube pulled air out of the second hole and sent it to a sensor.
In their tests, the team found that they could measure changes in the amount of alcohol coming from the skin of the ear. It could work much like a Breathalyzer that police use to test people for driving drunk. The team invited three men. Each had to avoid drinking alcohol for at least three days before taking part. Once in the lab, these men wore the earmuffs and sat for 10 minutes as the system recorded normal gas levels leaving their ears. Afterward, the men drank a big amount of alcohol. About 7 minutes later, the earmuff system tested out a rise in alcohol leaving the skin. After 50 minutes, alcohol levels reached the peak and continued falling until the test was over.
The team then measured other gases by changing out the sensor. With the right sensor, their earmuff system could test out disease. Later, they replaced the earmuffs with a one-eared version to make it a bit more comfortable.
Johnson imagines another possible benefit. The earmuff system could help doctors tell whether a child's ear infections （感染） have been caused by bacteria or a virus. How Each type of infection exudes different gases. That, in turn, could guide how doctors cure the disease.
28、What makes the ear a good place to monitor
A.Its small size. B.Its thin skin. C.Its clean surface. D.Its blood flow.
29、What did Johnson and his team find in their tests
A.Sensors should be examined in time.
B.Drunk-driving tests were ineffective.
C.Serious diseases were difficult to identify.
D.Their system could be used to tell diseases.
30、What does the underlined word “exudes” in Paragraph 6 most probably mean
A.Collects. B.Gives off. C.Cuts off. D.Uses.
31、In which section of a magazine is this passage most likely to appear
A.Politics. B.Business. C.Science. D.Entertainment.

The First Kite
Kites have been around for thousands of years. The first kites were created in China. There are three stories about how the first kite was born.
Many people believe that the kite was created when people watched birds fly. They then attempted to make a light object shaped like a bird that could fly high in the wind.
The second story goes like this. The kite was born as Chinese children sat below a catalpa tree（梓树）.A catalpa tree is known for large leaves and seed pods（荚）, which can be over 10 inches long. The catalpa tree's seed pods have two “wings” that help the seeds move far from the base of the tree. As the leaves and seed pods sailed on an upward wind, the children became inspired to create their own kites.
There is a Chinese legend（传说）telling a different story. When a farmer was working in his field one morning, the wind blew his hat off many times. He had to stop to run after his hat. When the farmer went in for lunch, he had an idea that he could tie one end of a thin rope to his hat and the other end around his wrist （手腕）. That afternoon, he went to work again. A sudden and strong wind swept the hat off his head and carried it high into the sky. But the farmer no longer needed to run after his hat. At that time, he got the idea of making a kite.
The idea for a kite could have been born as people watched birds fly, sat below a catalpa tree or found a way to get back a hat. Like the roots of many inventions, these stories are each inspired by people's experiences or observations of the natural world.
32、Where were the first kites created （不多于两个单词）
33、In the first story, what inspired people to make' kites （不多于五个单词）
34、What gave the farmer the idea of making kites （不多于四个单词）
35、How do people get the ideas for inventions （不多于九个单词）
