1. I say this a lot because it’s important: you need to walk more. There are a few main reasons why I’m so fond of walking, also known as moving frequently at a slow pace.

2.

Walking might not be as effective as other forms of exercise, but frequent walking will help anyone with two functioning legs that allow movement who would otherwise meld into the couch lose some body fat.

It’s good for your brain.

Walking does much more than work the area underneath your neck. The farther an older person can walk in six minutes, the better he or she performs on memory and logic tests. Folks who perform poorly on the walking test tend to have reduced grey matter volume in certain sections of their brains.

It reduces stress.

3. Go for a walk, preferably in a natural setting. For me, it’s the beach of the Malibu hills. For others, it might be the woods or even a park.

It prevents falls in the elderly.

Walking on uneven, natural ground like hiking trails，improves balance and reduces falls in the elderly. 4. The earlier you start habitually walking, the better your ability to navigate the land without falling will be.

It gives you a chance to think.

When we walk, we think. And because walking is a low-difficulty effort, we can direct our executive functioning to more internal matters. We work through problems, come up with ideas, replay conversations, scheme, and discover solutions. 5.

A. It modestly reduces body fat.

B. It lowers blood pressure, especially after meals.

C. Don’t wait until you’re already at risk of falling, though.

D. What do I do when I need to get away from a particularly stressful day?

E. Try to keep the walk as close to the meal as possible to aid in weight loss.

F. Even though some of you may be tired of me saying this, it needs saying.

G. Or maybe we just think about that funny dog we saw on the way to work the other day.

If you need glasses to read this, you are among the majority of Chinese students. That’s because most students in China are short-sighted which means they can only see things close up and distant things will be blurry. Four-fifths of high school students wear glasses and now more and more children in primary school need glasses, too.

This epidemic of poor eyesight has two very simple causes: too much time spent indoors studying and too little time spent outdoors playing. Reading and writing for hours and hours, sometimes in poorly lighted rooms, causes eyesight to weaken. But students have to do this because there is so much pressure on them to succeed in school. And because they spend so much time indoors at school and at home, they have less time to spend outdoors enjoying the sun.

The sun, as a consequence, is important in developing good eyesight. Exposure to daylight releases a chemical in the eyes that prevents, or at least delays, short-sightedness. According to a study by Ian Morgan of Australian National University, Australian children and Chinese children have the same level of eyesight before they start school, but once they enter primary school, Chinese children only spend about an hour a day outside, while Australian children spend three to four hours each day in the sunshine. The result is that while about 40 percent of Chinese primary school students need glasses, only three percent of Australian children do.

Wearing glasses may not seem like a big deal. For some, wearing glasses can even be an opportunity to make a fashion statement. But poor eyesight at a young age can have serious long term consequences. As you get older, your eyesight can worsen and lead to things like macular degeneration(黄斑变性), a condition of the eyes for which there is no cure and which can eventually lead to blindness.

With all that in mind, don’t you think it’s time to give your eyes a break? Try spending a little less time inside and go for a walk in the park, instead. It’s the healthy thing to do and your eyes will thank you for it.

1.What does the underlined word “blurry” mean?

A. unpopular.　　 B. unpleasant.

C. unclear.　　 D. unconscious.

2.How should the students protect their eyesight according to the passage?

A. They should study less and less.　　 B. They should stay longer outdoors.

C. They should wear sun-glasses.　　 D. They should have a longer rest in bed.

3.It can be inferred from the passage that _____ is to blame for the poor eyesight of Chinese children.

A. the ever-worsening bad weather　　 B. the ever-increasing burden of study

C. the ever-decreasing sunny days　　 D. the ever-decreasing period of study time

4.What is the purpose of this article?

A. To explain why Chinese students are poor-sighted.

B. To admire Australian children’s good eyesight.

C. To criticizethe present education system.

D. To call on people to protect Chinese children’s eyesight

It’s OK to say you’ve never heard of grime—unless you’re from the UK. That’s because this music was invented in the UK in the early 2000s.

To someone who’s not familiar with underground music culture, it’s easy to get confused between hip-hop and grime since they are both noisy. And many people didn’t bother to tell them apart, until earlier this month when grime stars like Stormzy and J Hus led this year’s Mobo— “music of black origin”—award nominations (提名) in the UK.

Just like UK electronic music and hip-hop, from which grime drew influence, it mostly reflects the thoughts of young people. But different from hip-hop, grime singers sing in dialects with strong accents, giving a special flavor to their songs.

Lady Leshurr, known as the "Grime Queen said that she once tried to hide her accent, as she didn’t want people to judge her. But one day, she realized that she didn’t need to change herself just to please others. And there’s no doubt that this is the most basic and important quality of grime music: be yourself.

Also different from the hip-hop culture, which usually focuses on being rich, grime singers pay more attention to social phenomena (现象) like the European refugee (难民) problem and the gap between the rich and poor.

Although still quite young, grime seems to be getting favored by more and more people. In 2016, the English grime artist Skepta won the Mercury Prize with his album Konnichiwa, beating big names like David Bowie and Radiohead. However, no matter whether grime is one day accepted by the mainstream music world or not, one thing is for sure: in grime, singers always stay true to themselves.

1.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A. Electronic music.　　 B. Hip-hop.

C. Grime music.　　 D. Black music.

2.What can be learned about grime singers?

A. They care too much about themselves.

B. They refuse to be judged by others.

C. They tend to take social responsibility.

D. They show strong independence qualities.

3.What does Skepta’s success suggest?

A. Grime is gradually getting recognized.

B. Singers should try to be themselves.

C. Grime has become mainstream music.

D. It is easy to win the Mercury Prize.

The neighbor looked at Sharon，shock written all over her face．She gulped（哽住）a few times，and then，smiling，held out the bread，part of a batch she had shared all over the neighborhood．"I brought you a nice loaf of cucumber bread．I hope you like it．"
