There are many ways to explore Paris,but few are as fun as traveling on a bicycle.These handy two-wheelers will get you up close and personal with the capital’s best streets,squares and attractions—without getting painful feet from walking miles on end.
Paris highlights via Cyclo
Forget your worries about the weather and getting worn out,because the Cyclo does away with all that.This covered three-wheeled bicycle will get you to all the capital’s hot spots with ease,thanks to your knowledgeable guide and driver.From the Tuileries gardens,you’ll venture onto Champs Elysées,Palais Royal,the Louvre and more.
Tour via the city’s vélib bikes
This tour introduces you to the Vélib system:Paris’s equal of London’s Boris Bikes,which can be shared by many people.As you switch your bike as you move from station to station,you’ll get the chance to explore independently.It’s perfect for those who don’t like to be shown around too much.
Tour de France bike ride
This is a once-a-year deal,but a great tour if you happen to be in Paris in July.As the Tour de France comes to an end,you can join Fat Tire Tour on a bike ride along the closed roads through Paris.In the morning,while the closing ceremonies are still being set up,you’ll cycle down Champs Elysée,round the Are de Triomphe and finish off at the Eiffel Tower where coffee and bread will be waiting for you.

As I put down the exercise equipment,my brain tries to focus on what my trainer has said.
“Describe that to me,” asked Rob.He is looking for an answer that required me to connect my brain to my body.
Yes,I know.My brain is connected to my body—the thing that has been carrying my head around for the last 56 years.Since completing my undergraduate degree,I have been increasingly immobilized by my working life.Sitting still at a desk,staring at a screen,it’s mostly through my fingers that I connect to my brain.
“I felt great,” I reply.“I could feel it in my back.” Rob is quick to encourage and set up more weight.Then cheerfully he’ll say “okay,next set.”
Every accomplishment in my life has been entered in my head—grades,degrees,promotions,published papers and teaching.But on reflection,I wasn’t paying much attention to my body.
Weightlifting is different.Rob is a trainer and manager at my local gym,my guide in helping me with a single goal—get strong.Despite my age,size and beginner status,Rob has made me feel safe.He is always close by,watching and posing questions.Like “Where did you feel that ” or the more general request,“Describe that for me.”
Early on,I took these as rote pleasantries.Over time,I realized he wanted more than just routine answers.Having shown me how to do an exercise,Rob would encourage me to think about the muscle or chain of muscles as they moved.The questions were a test of that connection.Gradually,I started thinking my way back into my body.Not my body as a whole but as individual,connections to newly identified places.Intentionally.Specifically.Magically.It’s surprisingly difficult.
I am five months into a new way of living with this 56-year-old body.It talks to me in a totally different way now.It reminds me of my capabilities,my muscles calling me to move,demanding to be challenged.And I long to continue this dialogue so that I’m ready the next time Rob says:“Describe that to me.”

B.The author’s fingers may be flexible.

D.Patient explanation.
27.Which of the following may be a suitable title of the passage

B.An Effective Way of Exercise
C.Keeping Muscles Connected
D.Weightlifting:My Favourite Exercise
C
As race season approaches,many runners have the same goal:go faster.But in a study published in the journal Current Biology,researchers show that speeding up might require us to resist our natural biology.By combining data from runners monitored in a lab along with 37,000 runs recorded on wearable fitness trackers,scientists have found that humans’ natural tendency is to run at a speed that conserves caloric loss—something that racers seeking to shave time off their miles will have to get over.
The research group has been studying the mechanics of running in labs for 15 years but hadn’t gotten a chance to study running in the wild before.“We joined the two datasets to gain new insights and combine the more messy wearable data with the gold standard lab experiments to learn about how people run out,” says co-author Jennifer Hicks.
What surprised the team was the consistency they found across the combined datasets.“We had assumed earlier that people ran faster for shorter distances and then would slow their pace for longer distances,” says first author Jessica Selinger.But this wasn’t the case.Most of the runners analyzed stuck with the same speed,whether they were going for a short run or a long one over ten kilometres.
From an evolutionary (进化) standpoint,it makes sense that people would run at the speed that uses the least amount of energy.This caloric conservation is something that has been observed across the animal kingdom.But humans’ reasons for running have changed,and if the goal is speed,there are some tricks runners can use.
Listening to music with a faster pace has been shown to help speed up stride (步伐) frequency,which increases running speed.In addition,picking faster running partners can give you a boost.
Hicks hopes that having large pools of fitness data from wearables will help researchers gain insights about populations.“You can look at connections with the built environment and access to leisure resources and start to layer all of that data to really understand how to improve physical activity and health more broadly,” says Hicks.
28.What do the racers have to overcome during the race
A.Energy consumption. B.Muscle loss.
C.Weakness of humanity. D.Lack of nutrients.
29.What was the team’s initial idea concerning running
A.People would run in the wild rather than in labs.
B.People adjust their speeds to different distances.
C.People run at a constant speed regardless of distance.
D.People possess enormous potential for running faster.
30.Why are “Listening to music” and “picking faster running partners” mentioned in paragraph 5
A.To offer tips on speed increase.
B.To evaluate the advantages of running.
C.To explain the importance of fast running.
D.To reveal the change in human running goals.
31.What’s Hicks’ attitude to the information obtained from wearables
A.Unclear. B.Critical.
C.Doubtful. D.Favourable.
D
Surfing has deep roots,but for the first time,surfers were competing for medals at the Summer Olympics.At Tsurigasaki Beach,40 miles from Tokyo,they were also riding big waves ahead of a storm.
“The incoming tide push over the afternoon does look to provide a lot of fun waves,” reported Kurt Korte,the official surf forecaster for the Tokyo Olympics.He works for Surfline,a company based in Huntington Beach,California.He said while it might rain at Tsurigasaki Beach,it should be a great day for the surfing finals at the Olympics.
While new to the Olympics,surfing has a long history.In pre-Inca Peru and wherever there’s been a nearby ocean,people have long been surfing in one form or another.Ancient warriors in Tahiti and Samoa used to train by surfing.In Polynesia,surfing was also considered an art form.But modern surfing became popular near the start of the 20th century in Hawaii.
Getting surfing to the Olympics was a dream of Hawaiian Duke Kahanamoku more than a century ago.Decades before Hawaii became a U.S.state,he earned five Olympic medals for swimming,starting in 1912.Kahanamoku had grown up surfing with his brothers in Waikiki.A news reporter in the 1960’s once asked him,“Duke,was it more of a thrill for you to win those Olympic Games,or ride some of those big waves you used to ride ” “I think surfing is much more to me,the greatest thrill of my life,” he answered.
Former professional surfer Matt Warshaw said,“Unlike most other sports in competition at the Olympics,so much of surfing depends on Mother Nature:the wind and the waves.”At the moment,these surfers are hoping for some sick waves for the Olympic finals.But with the ocean,you never know.
32.What do Korte’s words suggest
A.It would rain dogs and cats.
B.The surfing event would be rained out.
C.Surfing first became the Olympic event in Tokyo.
D.The coming day would bring satisfactory waves.
33.What can be learned about surfing
A.It has deep roots in the history of Olympics.
B.Ancient warriors in Tahiti used to train by surfing.
C.In Samoa,it was regarded as an art form.
D.Modern surfing gains popularity in Polynesia.
34.What did Matt Warshaw say about surfing
A.Surfing was the greatest thrill of his life.
B.Surfing was the way to get along with his brothers.
C.Surfing counts greatly on the wind and the waves.
D.The conditions of surfing can be predictable before the event.
35.What’s the purpose of the text
A.To introduce. B.To persuade.
C.To entertain. D.To discuss.

The Growing Popularity of Cycling
They say once you learn how to ride a bike,you never forget.Most of us learnt when we were kids,and many still strap (系好) on our helmets,put our feet on the pedals,and shoot off for a ride around the streets.In recent times,cycling has seen a boost in popularity. 36
First,let’s look at the health benefits.Cycling can improve your cardiovascular (心血管的) health and burn excess body fat.Strengthening your leg muscles in your calves (小腿肚) and thighs (大腿). 37 A long ride in the countryside could help you to clear your mind,or de-stress.But it’s not only about your body and mind—there are also some plus sides for your wallet’s health.
Cycling can be a great way to commute (通勤) or get about town. 38 If you drive to work,sometimes finding somewhere to park can be a nightmare,whereas finding somewhere to chain your bike up can be much simpler.Then,on the train,there are challenges at stations and other commuters speaking loudly on their phones to deal with.And if you’re worried about safety,there are designated cycle lanes in many major cities.Wearing high-visibility clothing is another way to improve your safety when cycling on the roads.
39 It can help you to reduce your carbon footprint.Not pumping out fumes into the atmosphere is better for the planet and your own environment.
So,whether people want to cycle for their health,getting about town,their wallet,the environment,or a combination of all of them— 40
A.The popularity of cycling is on the rise.
B.By cycling,you save money on fuel or train fares.
C.Finally,cycling can also be good for the environment.
D.Cycling except for transport,also can be used for fitness.
E.And cycling’s benefits aren’t just physical,but mental as well.
F.What makes it so appealing to people to straddle their bikes once again
G.I feel very relaxed by cycling,but the body was able to quickly reach the amount of exercise!

What Duran did find instead was an unfounded 44 .“People say that if you’re over 190 pounds you shouldn’t be on a skateboard,” he says.
Determined to do something to 45 the description of plus-size people in sports,Duran set up Chub Rollz—a skateboarding community for overweight skateboarders.To encourage plus-size people to 46 the fun sport,Duran created a list of recommended 47 for them.He also hosted skateboarding classes to teach beginners.
The comments on Chub Rollz have been 48 .Following an article about his action on the Internet,Duran received a lot of messages from 49 showing thanks for giving them courage to stand on skateboards.
Duran believes a lot more needs to be done to 50 body image stereotypes (成见).“Maybe skateboard shops should create a 51 environment for us and all types of boards should be made—everyone is making lighter products,but sometimes we need other 52 ,” he explains.For those 53 about taking up their favourite sports due to their 54 ,Duran has this to say,“Be 55 to yourself,as you’re often your worst critic (批评家).That you don’t see it doesn’t mean you can’t do it.”

“What am I doing wrong ” Jasmine Wilson thought to herself as she breathed heavily.And her breaths could be heard from nearby but were drowned out by the firm steps of several pairs of feet hitting the ground,each desperately pushing forward to get to the finishing line before the other.It was her first track meeting,and she had almost given up midway through the race.
She didn’t know why she decided to choose track and field as an after-school activity.As many times as she thought out her reasons as to why she chose to do a sport that requires a lot of hard training instead of something easier,she simply assumed that since it was from her interest,she was willing to try it out.
Track practices were much harder than she thought and very exhausting.At least,that’s what it felt like to her.When she observed her teammates,they were effortlessly working hard.She wanted to be like them,but it was difficult.
“Ms.Wilson,do you have a goal in mind ” Smith Jones,the coach of the track team asked Jasmine one day after practice.“I just want you to think about that.What are you running for Who are you running for What will you get out of this experience,and how will that help your overall goal These are questions that you really need to consider,Ms.Wilson.” The older woman placed a hand on Jasmine’s shoulder with a firm look.“You don’t have to answer me right now,but I look forward to finding it out from you.”
Now,at the race,small beads of sweat ran down the sides of her flushed face and dripped onto the faded letters of the high school track team’s uniform,which was close to her skin.Jasmine could barely focus on the present moment because her heart was pounding too loud in her ears.
“Wilson!Ms.Wilson,are you alright ” The familiar voice made her come back to her senses.

(Text 3)
W:When I do push-ups,should I bend my elbows so that my nose touches the ground

(Text 4)
M:Mr Black is driving me crazy!I have tried my best,but he is always saying I am still far from success.

(Text 5)
W:What do you think is the best way to get to our branch office in New York

W:My dream job is to become a diplomat on behalf of my country.That’s why I came to Japan to learn Japanese and hopefully obtain a master degree in international relations.I hope to work for the Indian Embassy in Tokyo.
M:That must be pretty competitive.In my country,America,many students want to learn international relations,too.
W:It’s very competitive,but I think if you know a certain language that not many people speak,it gives you a competitive advantage.
(Text 8)
M:Cathy,I’ve been putting on a few pounds.What can I do to lose weight
W:Well,I exercise a lot.I go running at least three times a week.More than that,I enjoy playing tennis...Different sports use different muscles and all of them help to lose weight.
M:Yeah.Actually,one of the problems is that I actually exercise a lot,so maybe it’s my diet.
W:It could be and so in that case you might want to eat something perhaps more nutritious or maybe even less of what you do eat.Maybe,I eat three meals a day and I try not to snack in between.
M:That’s pretty tough!Actually,you see my problem is that I like junk food.I have to choose,either I eat less or I eat a better diet.What do you think is more important
W:I think if you are exercising then you should just eat what you want and eat less.
M:Eat less.OK.This is going to be tough.
(Text 9)

W:Oh yeah Where are some of the places you’ve lived
M:Mostly,we were overseas.We spent a total of ten years in Korea,Germany,and Okinawa,Japan.We were transferred back to the States three years ago,but I think my parents would have liked to live overseas for at least 20 more years.

M:I’m a student at Purdue University.
W:Oh really What are you studying

Technology companies usually focus their benefits on making people stay in the office longer:ping-pong tables,game rooms,on-site training rooms;some even offer laundry services.We,ABC Company,don’t do any of these.Instead,we focus on benefits that get people out of the office as much as possible.We designed our benefits system to reflect that.Here are some of the benefits we offer to get people away from the computer.
Vacation:For the last three years in a row,we’ve worked with a professional travel agent to prepare different travel packages that employees could pick from as a holiday gift.Everything is paid for and included.Specific,pre-arranged trips—whether for a family to go to Disneyland or a couple to tour Spain or singles to go to Lijiang,China—have helped make sure people actually take their vacations.
4-day Summer Weeks:From May through October,everyone who’s been with the company for more than a year gets to work just four days in a week.This started out as “Friday’s off”,but roles like customer support and operations need to cover all hours.
To come up with the best ideas,you need a fresh mind.These travel and me-off benefits help everyone stay sharp.

Life lies in movement.Ladies and gentlemen,let’s take exercise together.To love sports is to love our life.
That’s all.Thank you.
第二节
When she looked up,it was the coach of their team,Smith Jones.“Coach ” called Jasmine,who looked like she was at the edge of crying.“I can’t do this.It is too tiring and hard,and I couldn’t hold on.” Jasmine was interrupted by the coach,“Don’t you remember those questions I asked you the other day I wanted to see your determination towards reaching your goal! Believe in yourself and your ability to succeed in doing everything and it’ll pay off eventually.Right now,this is just another obstacle that you need to overcome.I believe you.” After hearing her coach’s words,Jasmine was lost in thought.
Jasmine took a deep breath and suddenly felt full of energy.Wiping the beads of sweat away from her face,she now wore a confident expression.“I will get better,no matter how long it takes or hard it may be,” she thought.Thinking of this,she used up all her strength to march on.One circle.Another circle...She kept on running bitterly until she came to her final lap.She gathered up all her strength to rush for the finishing line.The classmates congratulated her,and then she caught a glimpse of her coach,who was smiling at her,nodding.Jasmine ran towards her,giving her a bear hug.“Thank you.It is you who accompany me until the end of the competition and make me realize that I can make it,” exclaimed Jasmine excitedly.
