   When it comes to exercise,most of us fit into one of the two groups — those who keep a regular exercise habit and those who think about being more active but can’t seem to have a plan to do it consistently. Whatever your attitude to exercise,there’s another form of physical activity that many of us car-loving people can do to get enough movement in general.

Studies have shown that putting away your car and walking, biking or taking public transport to work can have a significant positive influence on your health by improving spirits, reducing body weight and lowering the risk of heart disease.

It’s not surprising that taking a bus or a train regularly leads to a more physically active lifestyle. Just think about what comes with using public transport. Those who travel to work without a car walk to stations, climb stairs, often stand while waiting for their bus or train, and then finally travel on foot or by bicycle to their destination. Such active transport can make up for the inactive time spent in work and school environments.

There’s no doubt that the improving public transport system in the city is influencing the way people work and live. But though the public transport system is improving, it is not within easy reach of everyone who would like to use it.

Bike-sharing programs are also growing in popularity(普及)and helping to bridge a gap in the crowded city public transport system. These programs allow users to easily book, ride and return a borrowed bike. Bike-sharing programs help people who might still need to travel some distance between the end of the bus or the underground line and their final destination. They also offer an opportunity to residents and visitors to travel freely around the city without being trapped in a car.

【小题1】What exercise does the author suggest for car-lovers?
A.Form a habit of taking exercise regularly.
B.Make a plan for exercise and take time for it.
C.Take a bus or a train and thus do some walking.
D.Live near the sports center for enough exercise.
【小题2】How can we make up for the inactive time we spend at work?
A.By taking public transport to work.
B.By taking a drive to the countryside for fresh air.
C.By climbing stairs and standing during breaks.
D.By making a plan for exercise and stick to it.
【小题3】What remains a disadvantage of public transport despite its improvement?
A.It’s too expensive and always comes late.
B.It’s too crowded and uncomfortable for travel.
C.It’s usually out of reach for most people.
D.Sometimes it can’t meet people’s demands.
【小题4】What can be known about bike-sharing programs?
A.They can prevent people from being trapped in accidents.
B.They help to improve the city’s public transport system.
C.They are beginning to replace public transport.
D.They are beginning to appear in some large crowded cities.

An aspirin a day keeps the doctor away. Aspirin has long been praised as a wonder drug and has been in your family since you can remember. Not only does it cure pain, it also lowers the risk of heart attack and stroke. But taking the pills daily may not work for everyone.
Although taking an occasional aspirin or two is safe for most adults to use for headaches,body aches or fever, daily use of aspirin can have serious side effects. Up to 60 per cent of us,both healthy people and those being treated for all types of heart disease may have some level of resistance to aspirin’s benefits.
Aspirin keeps platelets(血小板) from sticking, lowering the risk of clotting(结块).People who are aspirin­resistant still get pain relief but not the full blood­thinning effects.
How do you know whether you’re resistant?New blood tests can help your doctor decide whether to give you a different medicine, especially if you’re at risk or are being treated for heart disease. The tests aren’t yet widely available, but it doesn’t hurt to ask.
People taking aspirin daily should limit the amount of alcohol they drink because of its additional blood­thinning effects and potential to upset your stomach. Thus you should not have more than one drink if you’re a woman or two drinks a day if you’re a man. Does daily aspirin treatment differ between men and women?Recent studies have focused on the effects of aspirin in women,finding that its effects differ between the sexes, and for women, between age groups.
All in all, aspirin is still an effective, affordable and simple option for many people at risk of heart attack and stroke. Though it is readily available, always check with your doctor before starting daily aspirin treatment.
【小题1】Aspirin has got the reputation of a wonder drug because ______.
A.an aspirin a day keeps the doctor away
B.it can make people feel less painful
C.it helps to prevent heart attacks and strokes
D.it doesn’t have any serious side effects
【小题2】Which of the following statements about aspirin is TRUE?
A.Aspirin does have blood­thinning effects.
B.If you are resistant to aspirin, you won’t feel pain.
C.People taking aspirin won't suffer from heart attacks.
D.60 per cent of people couldn't benefit from aspirin.
【小题3】What do we know about the blood tests mentioned in the fourth paragraph?
A.The new examination doesn’t hurt at all.
B.The tests only help aspirin­resistant people.
C.Doctors do the tests to test new medicines.
D.Only some people have ever taken the tests.
【小题4】We can infer from the passage that ______.
A.drinking alcohol will make people feel uncomfortable
B.drinking alcohol could influence the function of aspirin
C.alcohol has much greater effects than aspirin on blood­thinning
D.people should not drink any alcohol while taking aspirin daily
【小题5】What does the writer think of taking aspirin daily?
A.People should be careful to make this decision.
B.This treatment is effective, affordable and simple.
C.It could be used to cure heart attack and stroke.
D.Old women should not start this kind of treatment.

Twelve years ago, Danny called me from a dark, damp subway station. “A baby!” he shouted. “Get down here, and flag down a police car or something.” By nature, Danny is a remarkably calm person, so when I felt his heart pounding through the phone line, I ran.
When I got to the subway station, Danny was holding a light-brown-skinned baby, about a day old. The baby had been wrapped in an oversize black sweatshirt and left on the ground in a corner behind the gate.
Three months later, Danny appeared in family court to give an account of finding the baby. Suddenly, the judge asked, “Would you be interested in adopting this baby?” The question stunned everyone in the courtroom, except Danny, who answered, simply, “Yes.”
“But I know it’s not that easy,” he said.
“Well, it can be,” assured the judge before barking out orders to allow me to be a parent-to-be.
My first reaction, when I heard, went something like: “Are you crazy? How could you say yes without consulting me?”
In three years as a couple, we had never discussed adopting a child. I was an ambitious playwright working as a part-time word processor. Danny was a respected yet wildly underpaid social worker. We had a roommate, who slept in our living room, to help pay the rent.
We knew how many challenges couples usually faced when they wanted to adopt. And while Danny had patience and selflessness, I didn’t know how to change a diaper(尿布), let alone nurse a child. I didn’t trust the system and was sure there would be obstacles. Also, I couldn’t handle parenthood. So I promised myself I wouldn’t get attached.
The caretaker held him and then placed him in my arms. But when the baby stared up at me, with all the innocence and hope he represented, I, like Danny, was completely hooked.
【小题1】Why did the author rush to the subway station?
A.Because Danny finally found their long lost son.
B.Because she sensed Danny met something urgent.
C.Because Danny was knocked down by a police car.
D.Because Danny wasn’t a remarkably calm person by nature.
【小题2】How did the author react on hearing Danny’s answer to the judge’s question?
A.Surprised by the question.
B.Crazy to be a parent-to-be.
C.Annoyed at Danny’s decision.
D.Interested in adopting this baby.
【小题3】It can be inferred from the last paragraph that_________.
A.the author will adopt the baby
B.the caretaker will take the baby away
C.the couple love each other very much
D.the baby will bring hope to the family
【小题4】What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A.To introduce a story of a poor family.
B.To inform people of how to adopt a baby.
C.To call on people to donate money to them.
D.To show human’s kindness and love by nature.
