In recent years，plank exercise （平板支撑） has become more and more popular.It's easy to find a proper place to do plank exercise.You can even do it with a chair!But you need to use a stable chair to make sure your safety.It is dangerous if the chair moves during exercise.Moreover，doing plank exercise regularly may bring you lots of benefits.
Performing plank exercise as a daily home exercise before or after school will not only speed up your metabolism （新陈代谢），but also keep your metabolic rate （速率） high all day long.Doing it regularly will make you burn lots of calories （卡路里）.This is especially useful if you have to sit in the classroom for hours every day.A high metabolic rate will help you lose weight and keep in good shape.

"I am not an American，" Mark Twain （1835-1910）once said. "I am the American."
He had good reason to say so.A Nobel winner in literature，US playwright Eugene O'Neill called him "the true father of American literature". "Mark Twain is all of our grandfathers，" agreed William Faulkner，another Nobel winner.
Twain is someone Americans are taught to love.Older relatives，English teachers and the media often praise him.But when you actually take the time to read The Adventures of Tom Sawyer，which was first published 140 years ago，you will find that his work is more wonderful than you could ever have imagined.
The novel describes a young boy named Tom Sawyer growing up in a small town along the Mississippi River.He explores the countryside on a riverboat with his friends，falls in love with girls，starts secret clubs and searches for treasure.Twain's idea of childhood is magical—a time of imagination，wonder and，of course，adventure.
Most importantly，through the eyes of Tom Sawyer，Twain cleverly makes fun of the US culture.For example，Tom hates going to church，and Twain uses Tom to make fun of its old traditions.
Twain's writing is full of these kinds of critical （批评的） points about the culture and the society of the US at the time.That's why he is so beloved in the US—he wasn't afraid to express his opinions，and he did so clearly.
For instance，Twain didn't like US wars abroad，and he wrote openly about it in a newspaper article in 1900.He also believed strongly in women's right to vote in elections （选举） and gave a famous speech on the subject，called "Votes for Women"，in 1901.
"Tom was a talented hero once more—the pet of the old，the envy of the young." Twain wrote in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.But he could just as well have been describing himself.
26.Why are two Nobel winners mentioned at the beginning？ ______
A. To show they were as successful as Mark Twain.
B. To show how American literature developed.
C. To show Mark Twain's influence.
27.What is most special about the novel The Adventures of Tom Sawyer？ ______
A. It describes how a young boy grows up.
B. It cleverly makes fun of the US culture.
C. It presents a magical idea of childhood.
28.How does the writer show Twain was fearless to voice his opinions？ ______
A. By giving a speech.
B. By giving examples.
C. By using sentences from his book.
29.What can we infer from the underlined sentence in the last paragraph？ ______
A. Mark Twain was very much like Tom.
B. Mark Twain was a hero in American literature.
C. Mark Twain should be more confident in himself.
30.What's the main purpose of the passage？ ______
A. To introduce Mark Twain's life experience.
B. To recommend the novel The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.
C. To explain why Mark Twain is deeply loved by Americans.
