The junior high school graduates have to take a P.E. test in many places around China. The full marks are usually 30 points and it counts for much in the senior high school entrance exam.
In Nanjing, the test is held in April. Students have the test in their own schools. Each student is tested on three sports. They can choose long jump, basketball dribbling(运球) or volleyball. The pull-up is for boys and girls can choose the sit-up. Both boys and girls must skip in the test.
Most students find the test easy and more than 90％of them can get full marks. That’s because they have been training for it during the three whole years. Students in Junior Three usually do lots of practice in P.E. classes. The training makes the test easier than it seems to be.
Students in Nanjing don’t need to run a lot for the test, but students in Beijing must do lots of running for the test. Running is one of the sports in test. So in P.E. classes, they usually run a lot. Sometimes they have to run 3,000 meters in one class. Most teachers and parents welcome the P.E. test. They say it helps students build up their health.

【推荐1】Students aiming to enter Tsinghua University this year had better be able to swim or be prepared to learn swimming and pass a swim test since the top university will not grant bachelor’s degrees if they cannot swim.
This September, would-be freshmen at Tsinghua University will have to take swimming courses if they fail a swimming test at the beginning of their university life, and they won’t receive their degrees if they cannot swim before their graduation, according to a message at a university staff meeting days ago, the Beijing Daily reported on Monday.
Potential freshmen with chronic diseases, skin disease or hydrophobia, once examined and affirmed by medical staff, don’t need to take the required test or course.
Plans are for freshmen to take the test during their military training. In the test, students will pass the test if they can swim 50 meters, no matter whether they choose the breaststroke, butterfly, stroke, freestyle or backstroke. Those failing the test have to take a compulsory swimming course.
“Now Tsinghua University will test students in long-distance running and swimming, so students with poor sports performance will have to overcome a lot of difficulties once they enter the university,” said a student surnamed Zhang from the Second High School Attached To Beijing Normal University.
However, students don’t need to worry much, since Liu Bo, head of the Division of Sports Science and Physical Education, said relevant statistics showed that 90 percent of students can swim after taking the compulsory swimming course in their second year of university, and the remaining 10 percent will receive instruction after class provided by teachers, without paying extra tuition.
And seeing the ability to swim as a must for students to earn their degrees is not something new in Tsinghua University, as this ability was listed on its school regulations in the early 20th century.
“As early as 90 years ago, Tsinghua University required that students cannot graduate from the university or study overseas if they cannot swim, though the requirement didn’t work later on since the swimming pools at the campus could not accommodate increasingly more students” said Liu.

【推荐2】First aid is a very useful skill to have. By learning it, you could save someone’s life in the unexpected situation. But in China, less than one percent of adults have first aid skills, according to the communication website.
The Ministry of Education (MOE) has realized this. On August 24, it issued (发布) a statement along with the Red Cross Society of China. It has asked all public schools in China to provide first aid courses, including CPR (心肺复苏) training, as part of their health classes. Then, how does CPR help? CPR is an important first aid skill that can save victims (受害者) of the cardiac arrest (心搏停止). The first few minutes are very important. If CPR is correctly performed on the victim within the first four to six minutes, the victim will have a better chance to survive. So Chinese students should learn how to do CPR.
A survey from the Development Research Center of the State Council shows that 64.6 percent of schools already have these courses. However, the results are not good. According to MOE’s statement, future results are expected to be better.
Other countries have also made efforts to provide first aid training for their people. In 1966, the US government said police officers, firefighters (消防员), middle school teachers and college teachers must receive CPR training. A 2017 survey showed that 65 percent of Americans had received CPR training. In Switzerland, all people are asked to learn first aid skills. In Germany, 80 percent of people have received first aid training.

【推荐1】When was the last time you went for a walk? Where did you go? What was it like? It’s obvious (显而易见的) that walking is good for you.
According to an early research, walking is thought to be a great kind of exercise. It can help us keep physical fitness and control our weight.
For these reasons, we decided to ask a few people about their walking habits.
“I often go for a walk before lunch in the park near where I work. I find it’s great for building up my appetite (食欲) and the lunch tastes much more delicious.” James Barnes.
“I go walking every weekend. It’s the same route but it’s always different. In spring when the flowers come out, the colors are incredible (出奇的美).
“I live in the city and often walk home instead of taking the underground.” Declan Smith.
“London is a great place to walk. I can walk from my home to where I work right through Regent’s Park, with its tall, majestic tree.” Simon Tressel.
“I’ve been getting ready for the Moon Walk, which takes place in May.

【推荐2】Every April, people from all over the world gather in Boston for a foot race called the Boston Marathon. Running in this race is a goal for many people around the world. Most people who run in the Boston Marathon are serious about the sport. They wear shoes that cost a lot of money. People who run long distances buy new shoes every three or four months. They might spend more than four hundred dollars on shoes in a year!
But are these shoes necessary? Can shoes actually protect runners? Today’s spotlight is on people who run without shoes — barefoot runners. Every year, some people run the Boston Marathon without shoes. Ted is one of them. He has run without shoes for seven years. Ted believes that running without shoes is better for his body. He also thinks that barefoot running makes him run faster and gently.
More and more people are trying to run without shoes. The thinking is that running shoes block out the feeling of the running surface. When runners cannot feel the running surface, they often develop a bad running form. They hit the ground too hard with their feet. However, barefoot runners can feel the ground. This means that barefoot runners do not hit their feet as hard on the running surface. Ted and other barefoot runners believe that they do not get as many injuries.
1. Which expresses that the Boston Marathon runners are serious about the sport?| A．They wear cheap shoes. |
| B．They run without shoes. |

【推荐3】For some students, getting better grades can seem like an impossible task sometimes. Just paying attention in class or studying hard isn’t always enough. Are there other ways for students to improve their grades? For students and parents who have ever wondered if this is possible, they can rest easy now. Research suggests that a person who likes doing activities can improve their grades.
Scientists think that those students who are active are not just exercising their bodies, but also exercising their brains. In turn, they can be able to improve their grades at school.
In the most recent study, researchers found that when children played for half an hour each day, they were better at organizing their schoolwork and learning “difficult” subjects, such as maths.
What does this mean for children who aren’t active? Researchers think that if kids don’t get enough activities, they are going to be at a disadvantage when it comes to school performance.
In the research experiment, a group of children skipped (跳跃) with ropes, played basketball and did a number of other games or exercises. Another group of children didn’t do any activities. They took part in testing both before the experiment and after the experiment. Testing was mainly for maths and reading skills. Results showed that the children in the activity group did better on the tests than those who had no activity.
All work and no play will not only make Jack a dull (迟钝的) boy, but will also negatively affect his grades in school, according to a new study in the Journal of Pediatrics.
Parents complain (抱怨) children today are actually less active and they always worry about their grades. Dr. Belton, an expert, said, “If you’d like to see your kids do better in school, have them close their books, set down their pencils and go outside to play.”

【推荐2】The number of buses, taxis and other transportations on Kenya’s roads is growing every day.
Now, the country’s first electric-powered motorbike is being made. The motorbike is designed（设计）to cut down on pollution. It’s much cheaper so that most of people can afford it.
Most motorbikes used in Kenya depend on gas as fuel（燃料）, but not this new motorbike. Its energy comes from sunlight.
Three university students developed the new motorbike. It receives the sun’s energy, stores it in batteries（蓄电池）and uses it to charge（充电）the electric motorbike.
Robert Achoge is one of the student inventors. “Our hope is that by the fifth year, we will be able to cover the whole Kenya with the electric motorbike in order to improve the environment and provide affordable transport.”
The students have set up a fueling station for the motorbikes in Nairobi. Riders can charge the motorbikes in the station. The small battery can run for 70 kilometers when they’re fully charged. Once the power is used up, the motorbike has to return to the fueling station while another charged battery is connected to the motorbike. The US African Development Foundation is providing some money for two solar-powered charging stations in the Kenyan port of Kisumu.
Each motorbike costs about $700. One motorbike rider says the new motorbike costs less to ride than motorbikes running on traditional fuel. “When talking about buying fuel, there is no need. It’s basically good for everyone. Even though you won’t carry quite a heavy load, you can go with it anywhere.”
A Nairobi dealership is selling the motorbikes. Businessman Kennedy Kusimba hopes they will become popular. “We also know they are more reliable, compared to the gas-powered motorbikes. They are more useful and they will last longer.”
1. Why is the first electric-powered motorbike designed?| A．To cut down on pollution. | B．To provide more ways of transport. |
| C．To make most people richer. | D．To show the hard work of some students. |
