10 . When Simon Cane was in the second grade, he began learning about all the ways humans have an impact on the environment and really took those classroom lessons to heart in a way that set him apart from his schoolmates at his elementary school, P. S. 81, in the Bronx. “He told me we drove too much and made too much pollution,” his dad, Jonathan Cane, told Runner’s World. So Simon convinced his parents to start hanging their clothes to dry, taking the stairs instead of elevators, and other “green” measures.

“For much of kindergarten and first grade I rode my bike to Simon’s school with him on the back,” Jonathan said. As Simon got bigger, though, it wasn’t practical for him to ride on the back — because there was no place to put away Simon’s bike. So, most of the time they drove the 1.5 miles to school.

But in 2019, when Simon was going into third grade, the 8-year-old boy came up with a new way to help the planet: running the 1.5miles to P. S. 81. And Jonathan promised his son he’d join him for as long as he wanted.

“We did a test run one day in August, and decided to give it a go. To be honest, I thought he’d blink (眨眼) after it got really cold or rainy, but he never did,” Jonathan said.

He recalled one day when the weather was particularly bad. “It’s raining out there today,” he told Simon. And Simon said, “Well then we’re going to get wet!” He took pride in toughing it out, and it became a fun family routine.

Since the start, Simon has run with his dad and their black dog, Lola, and has even inspired his mom, Nicole Sin Quee, to join in. They soon became known as “the family that runs to school”.

1. What can we infer about Simon when he was in the second grade from the first paragraph?

A．He was unwilling to take the stairs.

B．He often helped his family wash clothes.

C．He cared about taking care of the environment.

D．He was more intelligent than most of his schoolmates.

2. How did Simon usually go to school in first grade?

A．His father carried him on the bike.	B．His father drove him there.
C．He went to school by running.	D．He took the school bus there.

3. How can we describe Simon according to the fourth paragraph?

A．He was so hesitant.	B．He was quite impatient.
C．He was very stubborn.	D．He was rather determined.

4. What can we know about Simon’s family?

A．They leave their black dog at home when they run.

B．Simon’s mother was persuaded to run by her husband.

C．Simon’s mother participates in the run influenced by him.

D．They run to Simon’s school only in order to build their bodies.
