26、Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature. However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment.

Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses （球场） in good condition. This causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.

There are many environment-friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don’t need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don’t have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control.

Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be “green gyms”. They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it’s free.

27、Parking in the CBD of any Australian city is expensive, hard to come by and often an unavoidable headache.

But Rylan Kindness, a 16-year-old entrepreneur (企业家) from Brisbane, thinks he might have the answer to this problem.

It was after Rylan realized his parents were spending hours to try and find parking deals in the city that he came up with the idea for a centralized system. This system shows users the best price for parking in the area they want and offers users a daily deal with a discount.

Rylan now doubles as a high school student and the CEO of Parking Deals Australia, a role he took on four months ago when he launched the business from his bedroom.

Parking Deals Australia isn’t even Rylan’s first business. When he was barely 11, Rylan came up with an idea to sell wholesale (批发的) scooter parts (儿童滑板车配件) online, purely because he just wanted some extra money. On the side, he’s succeeding in other passions as well.

And despite Rylan clearly being a high-achiever and having a knack (诀 窍) for business, he admitted it hasn’t always been smooth sailing.

“I’ve learned so many crazy things through trial and error. Every day I fail somewhere but I always try to get better. My biggest failure was when I first set up everything and thought it was what everyone else would like but it’s a shock when you see people not enjoying what you’re doing. It makes you want to cry a little bit but then you polish the product and keep going, ” he said.

While Rylan didn’t want to say exactly how much his now-bustling company is worth, he did admit he’s making a tidy profit.

“I earn more in one day than I was earning for three months work in a cafe but I’m investing it all back into the business. what I’ve learned is that if you’re starting a business just to make money, you’re definitely going to fail. I’m there to help millions of people and that’s what really gets me going, ” he said.

Rylan’s goal with Parking Deals Australia is to take it countrywide.

“We want to be everyone’s second step in their parking journey and save millions of people millions of dollars, ” he said.

【1】According to the article, the centralized system can ________.

A．find free parking areas

B．analyze users’ parking habits

C．show the nearest parking lot for drivers

D．recommend the cheapest parking spaces

【2】What can we learn about Rylan Kindness?

A．He got the idea for the parking system from his parents.

B．He started to display a talent for business when he was about 11.

C．He left school to run his own company four months ago.

D．He started his first business by setting up Parking Deals Australia.

【3】Rylan’s business experience ________.

A．has shown him that the beginning is the most difficult time

B．has taught him to work through failures by improving

C．has pushed him to attempt crazy things, even when he fails

D．has inspired him not to care too much about others’ opinions

【4】What was Rylan’s main purpose for starting his business?

A．To earn some extra money for making bigger investments.

B．To become one of the most successful entrepreneurs in Australia.

C．To help people while making a profit.

D．To expand his influence on a national scale.

28、Students perform less well in final exams if smartphones are allowed in class, for non-academic (非学业的) purposes in lectures, a new study in Educational Psychology finds. Students who don’t use smartphones themselves but attend lectures where their use is acceptable also do worse, suggesting that smartphone use damages the group learning environment.

Researchers from Rutgers University in the US performed an in-class experiment to test whether dividing attention between smartphones and the lecturer during the class affected students’ performance in within-lecture tests and a final exam. 118 students at Rutgers University took part in the experiment during one term of their course. Smartphones were not allowed in half of the lectures and allowed in the other half. When smartphones were allowed, students were asked to record whether they had used them for non-academic purposes during the lecture.

The study found that having a smartphone didn’t lower students’ scores in comprehension tests within lectures, but it did lower scores in the final exam by at least 5%, or half a grade. This finding shows for the first time that the main effect of divided attention in the classroom is on the length of time in keeping memory, with fewer things of a study task later remembered. In addition, when the use of smartphones was allowed in class, performance was also poorer for students who did not use them as well as for those who did.

The study’s lead author, Professor Arnold Glass, added: “These findings should alarm students and teachers that dividing attention is having a not obvious but harmful effect that is damaging their exam performance and final grade. To help manage the use of smartphones in the classroom, teachers should explain to students the alarming effect—not only for themselves, but for the whole class.”

This is the first-ever study in an actual classroom showing a relationship between losing attention from smartphones and exam performance. However, more researches are required to see how students are affected by using smartphones after school.

【1】What is the purpose of paragraph 1?

A．To present the main findings of the experiment.

B．To explain how the experiment was carried out.

C．To give details about the result of the experiment.

D．To suggest what should be done for teachers and students.

【2】We know from the experiment that having a smartphone in class ________.

A．had no bad effect if students do not use them

B．caused an average 5% drop in students’ scores

C．made it harder for students to keep things in mind

D．had a bad effect on students’ performance in all tests

【3】What’s Professor Glass’ attitude towards using smartphones in class?

A．He was against it.

B．He was in favor of it.

C．He cared little about it.

D．He doubted the findings.

【4】What is the research team likely to do next?

A．To find out ways to improve students’ memory.

B．To call on schools to ban smartphones completely.

C．To study the influence of using smartphones after class.

D．To do researches on focusing attention in actual classrooms.

29、   Vegetarianism is growing in popularity in a lot of countries. And now, South Africa is one of them. Today, more and more South Africans are experimenting with the vegetarian (素食者) way of life by cutting meat out of their diet.

Some others are exploring veganism. Vegans (纯素者) are similar to vegetarians but they avoid all animal based products, including mike and eggs. Some vegans even do not eat honey. There is no official count of how many vegans there are in South Africa. But the interest has led to the birth of vegetarian and vegan restaurants in Johannesburg, the nation's economic center. And this year, Africa's first big vegan and plant-based festival was held in Cape Town. The Vegan & Plant Powered Show took place at the end of May.

But veganism can be a lonely road for many South Africans. The country is Africa's top consumer of meat from cows, pigs and sheep, based on information from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. Many South Africans express shock at the thought of giving up meat, which is central to celebrations and spirituality.

This is an issue for many African vegans, including Anesu Mbizvo. “In African traditional culture, a big part of a family's worth is their livestock (家畜), which decide the wealth of a family. And so when an African kills an animal at a gathering, it's thought that he would give away his wealth.” But she adds, “Offering home grown vegetables would not be considered to be valuable. I think that thought mainly prevents some people of African cultures from being vegans.”

Some South Africans are finding their path somewhere in the middle, Thirty-one-year-old Thandiwe Ngubeni is a communications specialist. She still eats meat but less and less of it as time goes by. “I feel more energetic when I eat a vegan meal. It actually gives me more energy.”

【1】What can we learn about vegans?

A.They can drink milk. B.They eat some animal meat.

C.They enjoy opening vegan restaurants. D.They refuse any product based on animals.

【2】What mainly stops some Africans being vegans according to Anesu Mbizvo?

A.Too many animals in the wild. B.Traditional views of livestock.

C.The influence from other countries. D.Not enough vegetables in the restaurant.

【3】What do we know about Thandiwe Ngubeni?

A.She is a vegan. B.She is an animal specialist.

C.She expects to eat more meat. D.She eats less and less meat.

【4】What can be the best title for the text?

A.Vegans'Behaviors Are Too Extreme. B.Vegetarians Are Not Popular Any Longer.

C.Many South Africans Welcome a Vegan Lifestyle. D.Meat in South Africa Will Become Less Delicious.
