     For a while, my neighbourhood was taken over by an army of joggers(慢跑者 ) . They  were  there  
all  the  time : early  mornings, noons,and evenings. There were little old ladies in gray sweats, young
couples in Adidas shoes, middle-aged men with red faces. "Come on !" My friend Alex encouraged me
to join him as he jogged by my house every evening. " You'll feel great. "
      Well,  I had nothing against feeling great and if Alex could jog every day, anyone could. So I took up
jogging seriously and gave it a good two months of my life, and not a day more. Based on my experience,
jogging is the most overvalued form of exercise around, and judging from the number of the people who
left our neighbourhood jogging army,l'm not alone in my opinion.
      First of all ,jogging is very hard on the body. Your legs and feet take a  real pounding (重擊) running  down  a  road  for  two  or  three miles. I developed foot,leg, and back problems. Then I read about a
nationally famous jogger who died of a heart attack while jogging,
and I had something else to worry about. Jogging doesn't kill hundreds of people, but if you have any
physical weaknesses,jogging will surely bring them out , as they did with me.
     Secondly,  I got no enjoyment out of jogging. Putting one foot in front of the other for forty-five minutes
isn' t my idea of fun. Jogging is also a lonely pastime. Some joggers say, " I love being out there with just
my thoughts. " Well, my thoughts began to bore me, and
most of them were on how much my legs hurt.
      And how could I enjoy something that brought me pain? And that wasn't just the first week : it was
practically every day for two months. I never got past the pain level, and pain isn't fun. What a cruel  way 
 to  do  it !  So  many  other exercises , including  walking , lead
to almost the same results painlessly , so why jog?
       I don't jog any more , and  I  don't think  I  ever will. I'm walking two miles three times a week at a
fast pace, and that feels good. I bicycle to work when the weather is good. I'm getting exercise, and I'm
enjoying it at the same time. I could never say the same for jogging,and I've found a lot of better ways to
stay in shape.
1. From the first paragraph, we learn that in the writer's neighbourhood ___________. 
A. jogging became very popular
B. people jogged only during the daytime

D. jogging provided a chance to get together
2. The underlined word "them" ( Paragraph 3) most probably refers to _________.

3. What was the writer's attitude towards jogging in the beginning? 
A. He felt it was worth a try.

C. He was strongly against it.
D. He thought it must be painful.
4. Why did the writer give up jogging two months later? 
A. He disliked doing exercise outside.
B. He found it neither healthy nor interesting.
C. He was afraid of having a heart attack.
D. He was worried about being left alone.

For many of us, printed books are satisfying in ways beyond the words they contain. Billions of printed books have been published, read and saved in the 600 years since movable type was invented, so why mess with a good things?
Sony Electronics is doing just that, betting that readers will be won over by the convenience of readability of its new electronic book devices. Sony's reader, the PRS-505, can hold 160 books in its fixed memory, enough to line the shelves on a good-sized wall in the average American home. The $299 device is about the size of a paperback book, but a half-inch thick and weighs less than a pound.
The Sony book reader is revolutionary not only in its storage capacity. The font（字體） is highly readable and adjustable by size. Unlike laptop computers, you can put the Sony in your purse, read it in direct sunlight and even bookmark the pages. And you can connect it to your PC to download books.
Surprisingly, though the reader has liberated the book from paper, electronic books aren't always a bargain. For example, David Baldacci's "Stone Cold" download retails（零售） for $15.19 at the Sony site, while Amazon（卓越網(wǎng)） will deliver a hard copy to your mailbox for $16.19.
The Sony reader also lets you store and play or display music. So what's not to like about the Sony? Well, for many bibliophiles, a lot. Book lovers like to have, hold and keep their volumes, which don't need charging. You can write notes in the margins, and enjoy the ambience they provide on your book shelves.
The need for electronic reading devices is likely to grow as more people worried about the billions of tons of paper used for printed material. Many believe the time will come when devices like the Sony reader are as common as printed newspapers and magazines today.
1．What would be the best title for the passage?
A. The age of the electronic book reader is coming
B. Printed books are out of date
C. The Sony reader meets many readers’ needs
D. The revolution in book readers

     For most students, the most difficult part of any exam is the actual studying.Typically, there is so much
material to study that students begin to delay, putting off studying until the night before.After a latenight cram session, students arrive at the exam tired and feeling dazed by large amounts of information they've tried to
absorb.The easiest way to study, for an exam, and avoid the cram sessions, is to make a study plan.
The first step to making a study plan is to decide whether you want to study alone or in a group.When
planning study times and organizing study sessions for a group, the needs and schedules of the group are a
factor.As a result, you must decide whether you will be studying with a group before continuing with making a study plan.
     There are two time elements that are important to an effective study plan.The first time element to consider is the amount of time you have until the exam, while the second is the amount of time during the day that
you can set aside for studying.Try to study for at least two hours per day for major exams, like entrance
exams, and at least thirty minutes per day for lecture exams.If you are limited on the amount of time until the exam, such as one week or less, then you will need to increase your daily study time.Set up a schedule with clearly marked study times for each day.
     The content to be studied depends on the type of exam.For placement exams, entrance exams, and
licensure exams, there are no specific textbooks or prior lecture notes.There are, however, commercially
available review guides, and textbooks and lecture notes from past classes often contain a great deal of
material that will help with the exam.By looking at the content areas  of the test, you can determine what
readily available material to study.For coursebased exams, textbooks and lecture notes are both ideal study content.Break the content into chunks(塊), and then assign specific chunks to the study times that you have
listed on your schedule.
     Once you have set up study times and assigned material to them, it is time to study.When reading
textbooks, take notes on the information.With lecture notes, write notes in the margin.Use a highlighter.The
idea is to make key information readily available for review.In addition, making notes and looking up ideas
to supplement notes reinforces the material in your mind.Quiz yourself as you finish each area you are
studying to determine what you still need to review.
     Study plans are as unique as the person making them.The most effective study plan will take into
account your schedule, the times each day when you are able to study without interruption, and the amount of material that needs to be reviewed.By spreading out the study times and breaking up the information,
you make it easier to absorb and retain the necessary material before the exam.
  1    The easiest way to study for an exam and avoid the cram sessions
Making a  study plan
   2    or solo An important   3  :the needs and schedules of the group

     For years children in the industrial areas of Europe and America seldom left their smoky cities to see
the beauty of the countryside.Not that the woods and fields were always far away, but they were too far
from the city to permit people to make a round trip between morning and nightfall.What's more, factory
workers did not have enough money to send their children on country holidays away from home.
     In 1907 a young German schoolmaster had an idea which changed this state of affairs.He decided to
turn his little schoolhouse into a dormitory for the summer holidays.Anyone who brought his sleeping bag
and cooking equipment along could stay there for a very small amount of money.The idea was a success.A few years later the schoolhouse was far too small to hold so many young people who wanted to stay there.So, a dormitory was set up in an old castle nearby.This was the first Youth Hostel.
     Today young students and workers of every country can meet in the hostels and get to know each
other.Some spend a week or more in the same hostel, seeing the surrounding sights and meeting the people of the area.Other youths go on foot or by bicycle from place to place, spending a night or two in one
hostel, then going to the next.
     Sometimes an informal program will be organized after the meal, with dances, songs, or short talks
followed by a question period.One can learn a lot about other places, just by meeting people who come
from these places.For this reason, a few weeks spent "hostelling" can be just as useful a part of one's
education as classes in school.
1.  The reason why children in the industrial areas seldom left their smoky cities was that ________.
A.  they didn't like the beauty of the countryside at all
B.  their parents' income was not high enough to pay for the cost
C.  they couldn't make a round trip between morning and nightfall because of the distance
D.  Both B & C
2.  Paragraph 2 mainly tells us ________.
A.  how the first Youth Hostel began
B.  how to turn little schoolhouse into a dormitory for the summer holidays
C.  what the students should carry when spending summer holidays in the countryside
D.  the reason why spending summer holidays in the countryside
3.  According to the passage,, the following are the mentioned advantages of hostelling EXCEPT
________.
A.  enjoying the beauty of the countryside
B.  broadening their outlook and knowledge
C.  making new friends
D.  avoiding doing their homework
4.  用30詞左右概括文章大意
