30、ke travelling have their reasons. They believe that travelling can help them expand their horizons, especially in the geographical and historical field. They also think that touring will give them more chances to enjoy different kinds of food and experience new things that would never be brought by
31、other activities. But those who dislike travelling also have some reasons. Travelling, in my opinion, does more good than harm. More importantly, it broadens (拓 宽) our mind. We can get in touch with other civilizations (社会文明), cultures, customs and ideas. Through history, most people travelled becau
32、se of necessity (必要性)not for pleasure. People travelled just in order to remain alive. They searched for food to eat or places to live in. They sometimes ran away from enemies. This is not to say that no one ever travelled just for the fun of it. In ancient times, for example, rich Romans travelled
33、all the way to Greece to take part in the Olympic Games, and to celebrate festivals. Of course, some people decided to travel just out of curiosity (好奇心). They wanted to find out what it looked like beyond the horizon (地平线). Also business travel has existed for centuries. Traders could not only make
34、 money but also learn to speak several languages and be introduced to different cultures. So, travelling does open our eyes and draw new ideas to us. There is no doubt that we can get much from it. 1According to the passage, why did most people in the past travel? AFor fun. BFor knowledge. CTo get e

36、B The world itself is becoming much smaller because of modern traffic and communication means. Life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago, but it has brought new problems. One of the biggest problems is pollution. To pollute things means making them dirty. Pollution comes in many wa
37、ys. We see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it. Man has been polluting the earth. The more people, the more pollution. Many years ago, the problem was not so serious because there were not so many people. When the land was used up or the river was dirty in one place, man moved to another place.
38、But this is no longer true. Man is now slowly polluting the whole world. Air pollution is still the most serious. Its bad for all living things in the world, but it is not the only kind of pollution. Water pollution kills fish and does great harm to our body. Noise pollution makes us angry more easi
39、ly. Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. They stop people from burning coal in houses and factories in the city, and from putting dirty smoke into the air. Pollution by SO2 is now the most dangerous kind of air pollution. It is caused by heavy traffic. We are sure that if there are fe
40、wer people driving, there will be less air pollution. The earth is our home. We must take care of it. That means keeping the land, water and air clean. And we must take care of the increase in pollution at the same time. 4Why is our world becoming much smaller? ABecause there is more and more pollut
41、ion. BBecause science and technology have developed. CBecause the earth is being polluted day and night. DBecause the earth is blown away by the wind every year. 5What was life like hundreds of years ago? AIt was much easier than it is today. BIt was as easy as it is today. CIt was much harder than

43、rom Detroit. “While a number of studies have looked at the presence of sidewalks and their association (关联) with physical activity, very few have examined the condition of the sidewalks，” said Jamila L. Kwarteng, who led the new study. Kwarteng and her co- workers studied 919 adults in poor and midd
44、le- class neighborhoods in Detroit, asking them how much they exercised and how often. The researchers also walked around the neighborhoods and studied the condition of sidewalks and streets. According to the results, people who lived near more uneven (不平坦的) sidewalks would be less active. That was
45、especially the case for younger people. “We found that better sidewalk condition was associated with increases in physical activity among women and men，” Kwarteng said. Kwarteng said although its possible that sidewalk condition affects how much time people spend outside being active, its only one w
46、ay. “Another reason for the result is that people hating physical activity choose to live in neighborhoods that are run- down (破旧的)，”Kwarteng said. “Maybe thats because its less expensive to live there.” Following a neighborhood over a long time and seeing if activity levels change with sidewalk con
47、dition would be a better way of understanding how much effect the sidewalks have. “This study makes sure an association between sidewalk condition and physical activity，” Kwarteng said. “Further studies should try to explain why this is.” Most homeowners with the freedom to choose between neighborhoods will probably pick the one in better condition. “Good living environments should be available to all people，” Kwarteng said. “Cities should implement (贯彻) policies that keep sidewalks in good condition to increase physical activity among people.” _ _ _ _ _
