1 . Why are the neighbours moving out?

B．They can’t afford the high rent.

C．The landlord doesn’t keep his word.

2 . It’s well-known that being in green spaces is good for physical and mental health.     1     A population-based study published in Scientific Reports looked at the effect of urban waterways on mental health and found that proximity (接近) to water increased positive feelings of wellbeing.

“If you’re in a body of water, your internal state just becomes calm,” Dr Natalie Azar, NBC News medical contributor, told TODAY. “    2     However, we’ve never really been intentional about it.”

Being near water gives people a consciousness of something greater than themselves. The sounds and movement of water can get people to focus their attention and this invites calm. “You don’t have to go to the coast to experience this wellbeing,” said Azar. “Any waterway will do, including lakes, rivers, canals or ponds.     3    ”

A new study conducted by King’s College London has also proved that spending time near urban canals and rivers is linked to feeling happy and healthy, stressed a press release from the college. Moreover, it has found that urban waterways are superior to feelings of wellbeing than just being near the ocean.

“    4     This means their capacity to improve mental wellbeing is likely to be due to the multiple benefits associated with both green and blue spaces,” said Andrea Mechelli, professor of early intervention in mental health at King’s College London.

The study has also found that there are continuous improvements to mental wellbeing for up to 24 hours after visiting urban waterways.     5     In England and Wales, people have access to 3,218 kilometers of rivers and canals that are readily accessible. In fact, 9 million people live within 1 km of a canal—something that is easily walkable.

A．These results remain to be tested.

B．Even a flowing fountain will work.

C．This is good news for urban people.

D．It’s something that I think we’ve all experienced.

E．Our findings show that blue spaces are naturally calming.

F．Canals and rivers contain not only water but also trees and other plants.

G．Now scientists have discovered blue spaces are also connected to better mental health.

8 . Every Saturday morning, at 9 am, more than 50,000 runners set off to run 5km around their local park. The Parkrun phenomenon began with a dozen friends and has inspired 400 events in the UK and more abroad. Events are free, staffed by thousands of volunteers. Runners range from four years old to grandparents; their times range from Andrew Baddeley’s world record 13 minutes 48 seconds up to an hour.

Parkrun is succeeding where London’s Olympic “legacy” is failing. Ten years ago on Monday, it was announced that the Games of the 30th Olympiad would be in London. Planning documents pledged that the great legacy of the Games would be to level a nation of sport lovers away from their couches. The population would be fitter, healthier and produce more winners. It has not happened. The number of adults doing weekly sport did rise, by nearly 2 million in the run-up to 2012-but the general population was growing faster. Worse, the numbers are now falling at an accelerating rate. The opposition claims primary school pupils doing at least two hours of sport a week have nearly halved. Obesity has risen among adults and children. Official retrospections continue as to why London 2012 failed to “inspire a generation.” The success of Parkrun offers answers.

Parkun is not a race but a time trial: Your only competitor is the clock. The ethos welcomes anybody. There is as much joy over a puffed-out first-timer being clapped over the line as there is about top talent shining. The Olympic bidders, by contrast, wanted to get more people doing sports and to produce more elite athletes. The dual aim was mixed up: The stress on success over taking part was intimidating for newcomers.

Indeed, there is something a little absurd in the state getting involved in the planning of such a fundamentally “grassroots”, concept as community sports associations. If there is a role for government, it should really be getting involved in providing common goods-making sure there is space for playing fields and the money to pave tennis and netball courts, and encouraging the provision of all these activities in schools. But successive governments have presided over selling green spaces, squeezing money from local authorities and declining attention on sport in education. Instead of wordy, worthy strategies, future governments need to do more to provide the conditions for sport to thrive. Or at least not make them worse.

10 . Complete the passage with the correct forms of words.

There are     1    (current) six Disneyland Theme Parks in the world: Walt Disney World Resort (near Orlando, Florida), Disneyland Resort (Anaheim, California) Disneyland Paris, Tokyo Disney Resort Hong Kong Disneyland Resort,     2     Shanghai Disney Resort. Disneyland was the brainchild of Walt Disney (1901-1966), who wanted to provide a place for families to amuse     3    (they). He also had the problem that many people wanted to visit The Walt Disney Studios when they     4    (tour) southern California, but as The Walt Disney Studios at the time focused nearly entirely on     5    (make) animated films and had no sound stages,     6    (costume), or sets, there was very little to show visitors except a few men in small rooms hunched over drawing boards. After Disneyland Resort had been in     7     (operate) for several years, Walt Disney realised that the area around the park did not offer enough room for further expansion, and thus fulfil all his many dreams for the park,     8     included a futuristic planned community. For this reason, he began building Walt Disney World Resort in Florida as     9     vacation destination. However, Disney died of lung cancer before it could     10    (finish), and only a part of his final dream was ever realised.
