【題目】 You must have heard about jogging(慢跑)as a popular way of keeping fit, but what about plogging? Plogging is a mix of jogging and picking up litter, coming from the Swedish phrase "plocka upp". It started as an organized activity in Sweden around 2016 and then spread to other countries step by step. For exercising, plogging is much better than simply running, because it provides changes in body movements by adding bending(彎曲), squatting() and stretching(伸展).

As 2018's hottest fitness way, plogging has become popular in more than 40 countries, from the US to France and Australia to Thailand. The idea of plogging is to pay attention to environmental protection as well as physical health — to care for Mother Nature as well as your body. “I run a lot and I love to spend time in nature. When I find litter out in the woods, it makes me sad and a bit angry. Plogging is a natural way to do something about that,” Tesch said.“It’s so easy to just pick up the litter and put it in the nearest bin, and it makes you feel that you’re making a difference!”

Have you noticed people jogging while carrying trash bags recently? Or running along with hands full of dirty plastic bottles? You might do soon! Because plogging has reached China. Olivier, a Frenchman married to a Chinese girl, began promoting(促進(jìn))plogging in Huizhou, Guangdong Province, back in April. He and his wife were the only ones doing it at first, he said, but the craze soon caught on. The couple have set up a WeChat group for people to learn more about plogging. Currently there are more than 100 people from different parts of the country in the group to take an active part in the environmental movement. In honor of World Environment Day this year, the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China(中國工商銀行)started plogging campaigns (運(yùn)動)in 280 cities, attracting 13,000 people to join in.

Plogging can be done almost anytime and anywhere, and costs almost nothing. Will you take it up?

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,回答下列問題。

1What’s the meaning of the word “plogging”?

2Where did the activity first start?

3Up to 2018, how many countries has the activity spread to?

【題目】 Do you know we are living in the world of mass media? Mass media are tools of communication and allow us to record and pass information rapidly to a large,scattered audience.

However,have you imagined what life would be without the media? Are you a media addict who would go mad after two hours without TVfriend requests,exciting online games and your mobile—or would you easily survive?

Recently,university students around the world were asked to volunteer in a global experiment called UnpluggedIt was designed to see how young people would react if they were asked to observe a total media ban(禁止)by unplugging all forms of media devices for 24 hours.

Unplugged is being run by Dr. Roman Gerodimos,a lecturer in Communication and Journalism at Bournemouth UniversityThe experiment is now over but he doesnt yet know the full findings. Howeverduring the experiment,Dr. Gerodimos said there were already signs of how much the exercise affected volunteersHe said: Theyre reporting withdrawal(孤僻)symptoms,overeating feeling nervous,isolated and disconnected.

During their 24-hour ordealthree volunteers had to endure one intrusion from the media: a BBC reporter plus cameraman who followed them around for the dayThey were asked to write down 100 lines about their day offline,but of course,they all waited until the next day when they had access to their laptops.

Elliot Day wrote: “Today,my whole morning routine was thrown up into the airDespite being aware of the social importance of the media,I was surprised by how empty my life felt without the radio or newspapers.

From Caroline Scott,we read: “I didnt expect it,but being taken away from the media for 24 hours resulted in my day-to-day activities becoming so much harder to carry out than usual… I didnt break out in a cold sweat like Dr. Roman Gerodimos expected us all to,but its not something I would like to do again!”

And Charlotte Gay wrote: “I have to say the most difficult item for me to be without has been my mobile; not only is it a social gadget,its my main access point of communication.

Earlier in the year,a UK government study found that in the UK we spend about half our waking hours using the mediaoften plugged into several things at onceAnd a recent study by Nielson found that on average,US teenagers send and receive over 3,000 texts per month—thats about six texts per waking hour.

3What does the writer think about the mass media?
