4 . Have you ever seen a teenager or an adult riding a small bike? Perhaps it had posts sticking out from both sides of the wheels.     1    

BMX(自行车越野) bikes have a lightweight frame and smaller wheels than other bikes.     2     The sport of BMX began when kids wanted to copy off-speed motorcycle race that were very popular. Today it is a sport with multiple disciplines.

    3     It is an exciting, fast-paced event with off-road tracks, jumps and bends. Up to eight riders race at a time. BMX street riding takes BMX off the competitive stage, and into the city for some fun. The goal is to do as many creative tricks as possible in the environment. BMX park riding originated when people started using skate parks, empty pools or parking lots, discovering new ways to ride. Later, the style was recognized as a sport and parks were created specially for riders to practise in. Lastly, BMX flatland riding differs from all the rest. Flatland uses nothing but a flat surface where the rider balances and does dance-like tricks on the bike.     4     The posts are called pegs and they enable the rider to do more tricks. They can stand on them in flatland BMX or use them to grind(摩擦)or stall in other styles of BMX.

    5     But in reality, it is a sport over 65 years old. Contests such as the X Games and the Summer Olympics are putting BMX back in the spotlight.

A．where did the thrilling sport start?

B．BMX racing is the original form of BMX.

C．They are designed to be fast and user - friendly.

D．It is more than a sport with multiple disciplines.

E．Today BMX is known as a sport for the risk-takers.

F．What you saw was likely not a children's bike, but a BMX bike!

G．Riders of this style of BMX use posts sticking out of their bike wheels.

6 . In a time when a dangerous number of people are overweight, many people seem to have forgotten the most important way to keep healthy and slim---exercise. And as a new study carried out on mice in the lab has shown, exercise done early in life can reward you in your adult years.
A team of researchers at the University of California studied the effects of early exercise on adult physical activity, body mass and eating. They found that early-age exercise in mice has positive effects on adult levels of voluntary exercise in addition to reducing body mass.
“These results may have an effect on the importance of regular physical education in elementary and middle schools,” said Theodore Garland, a professor of biology, who led the research project. “If kids exercise regularly through their school years, then they may be more likely to exercise as adults, which could have far-reaching positive effects on human health and well-being.”
Although the positive effects of early-life exercise lasted for only one week, it is important to note that one week in the life of a mouse is the same as about nine months for humans. “Our results suggest that any positive effects of early-life exercise on adult exercise will need to be kept up if they are to be long-lasting.”
His team of researchers found, too, that all mice that had access to early exercise were lighter in weight than non-exercised mice.
Garland explained that, in general, exercise will stimulate appetite sooner or later. However, it is possible that certain types of exercise, done for certain periods of time or at certain light levels, might not stimulate appetite much, if at all, at least in some individuals.
“If we could understand what sorts of exercise these might be, then we might be able to tailor exercise recommendations in a way that would bring the benefits of exercise without increase in appetite, leading to a better chance of weight loss,” he said.
1. How long do the positive effects of early-life exercise last for a mouse?

A．One day	B．One week
C．One month	D．Nine months

2. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article?

A．More study is needed to better understand the effects of different types of exercise.

D．The new study on mice mainly focused on how exercise affects appetite.

3. The underlined word “stimulate” in the last but one paragraph is closest in meaning to _______.

A．decline

C．vary

D．harm

4. What is the article mainly about?

A．New ways to fight against being overweight.

B．The positive effects of mice.

C．The possible risks of doing exercise.

D．The positive effects of early- life exercise.

7 . In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity; others say that competition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.
I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs. In their single-minded pursuit of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.
However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: “I may have lost, but it doesn’t matter because I really didn’t try.” What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one’s self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve can we discover a new meaning in competition.
