高二英语阅读理解强化训练附解析Day 85
Passage 1
Looking for a fun Earth Day activity? You may want to try
plogging, or picking up litter while jogging. Strange as it may
sound, the new “sport" is becoming popular with runners
worldwide? many of whom are posting photos of themselves and
friends holding bags of trash on social media.
Plogging is the idea of Erik Alstrom. In 2016, after moving to
Stockholm in northern Sweden, Alstrom showed concern over
the amount of trash on the road during his daily bike ride to work.
Thus, he began plogging during his daily runs.
Other joggers soon joined Alstrom, and the activity became
so popular that official “plogging" events started all across
Sweden. As plogging became popular on social media, the new
“sport" began to spread beyond Sweden, first to other European
countries and then worldwide.
The official online “Plogga" group now includes members
from over 40 countries, all the way from United States cities like
Ohio to Thailand and Ecuador. Many school running clubs are
also getting in on the action to encourage people, staging
competitions that reward the runners with the heaviest trash
bags.
As it turns out, plogging is not only good for the
environment but also a healthy way to exercise. According to
Swedish fitness app Lifesun, an average person burns about 288
calories while plogging for half an hour.
This is about 50 calories more than he/she would burn when
just jogging. Additionally, the constant squatting(蹲) to pick up
litter increases the plogger's flexibility, while lugging(费力地拖)
around the increasingly heavy garbage bags helps strengthen
his/her arm muscles.
On this Earth Day, be sure to put on your running shoes, carry
a trash bag or two, and go plogging. Or better still, start a
plogging team at school, or around your neighborhood, and
make every day Earth Day!
