A

While there has been public debate about whether running is good for your health for a long time, experts agree that

running has more benefits than the costs. Some people are concerned that the pressure on your knees and ankles can

be detrimental. While this can be true, there are many things that you can do to reduce your risk of injury.

You should always go to a doctor for advice before you begin any type of exercise program. Then, a good

pair of running shoes can be helpful as your feet hit the ground. They will help protect your ankles by providing

stability to your feet. So it is good idea to visit a specialty(专业) running shoe store. The staff there can suggest shoes

which are ideal for your running style.

In order to learn the proper form, you may get some advice from a friend who has been running for some time,

or even join a running club. They can provide good tips as well as some support and encouragement for you.

Lastly, it is important to start out slowly. When it comes to getting in shape and losing weight , short bursts

of speed followed by periods of slower movement would be proper. Aim for around 30 minutes of exercise a few days

a week. As you get better, you can increase your speed. Always allow your body to rest in between heavy exercise as

your muscles need time to bring energy back.

The flag, the most common symbol of a nation in the modern world, is also one of the most ancient. With a

clear symbolic meaning, the flag in the traditional form is still used today to mark building, ships and other vehicles

related to a country.

The national flag as we know it today is in no way a primitive artifact. It is , rather, the product of thousands of

years’ development. Historians believe that it had two major ancestors, of which the earlier served to show wind

direction.

Early human beings used very fragile houses and boats. Often strong winds would tear roofs from houses or

cause high waves that endangered travelers. People’s food supplies were similarly vulnerable (易受损害的). Even

after they had learned how to plant grains, they still needed help from nature to ensure good harvests. Therefore they

feared and depended on the power of the wind, which could bring warmth from one direction and cold from another.

Using a simple piece of cloth tied to the top of a post to tell the direction of the wind was more dependable

than earlier methods, such as watching the rising of smoke from a fire. The connection of the flag with heavenly

power was therefore reasonable. Early human societies began to fix long pieces of cloth to the tops of totems (图

腾)before carrying them into battle. They believed that the power of the wind would be added to the good wishes of

the gods and ancestors represented by the totems themselves.

These flags developed very slowly into modern flags. The first known flag of a nation or a ruler was unmarked:

The king of China around 1008 B.C. was known to have a white flag carried ahead of him. This practice might have

been learned from Egyptians even further in the past, but it was from China that it spread over trade routes through

India, then across Arab lands, and finally to Europe, where it met up with the other ancestor of the national flag.

8. The best title for the passage would be_________________

A. Uses of Flags B. Power of the National Flag

C. Type of Flags D. Development of the National Flag

9. The earliest flags were connected with heavenly power because_____________

A. they could tell wind direction

B. they could bring good luck to fighters

C. they were believed to stand for natural forces.

D. they were handed down by the ancestors

10. What does the author know of the first national flag?

A. He knows when it was sent to Europe.

B. He believes it was made in Egypt.

C. He doubts where it started

D. He thinks it came from China.

11. What will the author most probably talk about next?

A. The second ancestor of the national flag.

B. The role of China in the spread of the national flag.

C. The use of modern flags in Europe.

D. The importance of modern flags.

D

It was a Sunday and the heavy storm had lasted all night. The morning after the storm, though, was beautiful:

blue skies, warm air and a calm, inviting sea touching the shore gently.

My father realized it was a good day for fishing and invited my sister and me to go with him. I was only 14

and fishing had never been my thing, but I decided to go all the same. I ’m so glad I did.

On the road to the harbour we could see the terrible destruction on the coast, but the harbour itself was in

fairly good shape. After all, it was protected by the arms of a bay that only one tiny channel to the sea. As we got on

board, we noticed two big humps(里脊）in the distance.

On approaching them, we saw it was a mother whale with her baby. We couldn’t believe it---there aren’t any

whales along the coast here. The storm must have driven them across the ocean into the bay, in which the still water

was so badly polluted that nothing could survive.

The little baby whale--- actually as big as our boat-- was obviously stuck and could not move. The mother

dived under the water and camp up suddenly, making big whirlpools(旋涡）and waves. “ she’s trying to help her

baby, but on the wrong side,” my father said. At this point , my father moved our boat in a semicircle to the other side

and, heading the boat towards the baby whale, pushed it gently. With our several gentle pushes the big hump turned

over and disappeared under water. Then it swam up right beside its mum. They struggled in their desperate attempts to

escape but missed the exit and started heading in the wrong direction. We hurried up to the whales and tried to lead

them towards the bay channel. Slowly, they let us lead them, sometimes rising from the water right beside us to

breathe---and to give us a trusting look with those huge eyes. Once they hit their first part of clean water flowing

straight from the sea, the mum gave us a wave with her tail and off they swam into the distance.

In the excitement it had felt like only a few minutes, but we had been with those wonderful animals for almost

an hour and a half. That was the simple and lasting beauty of the day. Nearly four decades later, I still look back

fondly to that golden day at sea.
