(joggers)

A few months ago, my neighborhood joined an army of joggers. They were there all the time; early morning, noon, and evenings. There were little old ladies in grey sweaters, young couples in Adidas shoes, middle-aged men with red faces. “Come on!”

My friend Alex encouraged me to join him as he jogged by my house every evening. “You'll feel great.”

Well, I had nothing against feeling great, so I took up jogging seriously and gave it a good two months of my life, and not a day more. According to my experience and the number of the people who left our neighbor jogging army, jogging is the most overvalued form of exercise around. I'm not alone in my opinion.

First of all, jogging is very hard on the body. Your legs and feet take a real pounding (重?fù)?/span>) while you run down a road for two or three miles. I developed foot, leg, and back problems. Then I read about a nationally famous jogger who died of a heart attack (心臟病突發(fā))while jogging, and I had something else to worry about. Jogging doesn't kill hundreds of people, but if you have any physical weaknesses, jogging will surely bring them out, as they did with me.

Secondly, I got no enjoyment out of jogging. Putting one foot in front of the other for forty-five minutes isn't my idea of fun.Some joggers say, “I love being out there with just my thoughts.” Well, my thoughts began to bore me, and most of them were on how much my legs hurt.

And how could I enjoy something that brought me pain? And that wasn't just the first week: it was practically every day for two months. I never got past the pain level, and pain isn't fun. So many other exercises, including walking, lead to almost the same results painlessly, so why jog?

I don't jog any more, and I don't think I ever will. I'm walking fast for two miles three times a week, and that feels good. I bicycle to work when the weather is good. I'm getting exercise, and I'm enjoying it at the same time. I could never say the same for jogging, and I've found a lot of better ways to stay in shape.

【1】What was the writer’s attitude towards jogging in the beginning?

A.He felt it was worth a try.B.He was very fond of it.

C.He was strongly against it.D.He thought it must be painful.

【2】Why did the writer give up jogging two months later?

A.He disliked doing exercise outside.B.He was afraid of having a heart attack.

C.He was worried about being left alone.D.He found it neither healthy nor interesting.

【3】What can we learn from the passage?

A.Not everyone enjoys jogging.B.Jogging is an exercise fit for everybody.

C.Jogging will surely cause physical illness.D.Jogging makes people feel greater than other sports.

For Killing Wolves

In Alaska, the wolf almost disappeared a few years ago because people were killing hundreds of them. However, laws were made to protect the wolves. So the wolf population has greatly increased. Now there are so many wolves that they are destroying their own food supply.

A wolf naturally eats animals in the deer family. Many of the animals have been destroyed by the very cold winters and by changes in the wild plant life. When the deer can’t find enough good, they will die.

If the wolves continue to kill large numbers of deer, their prey will disappear some day. The wolves will, too. So we must change the cycle (循環(huán)) of life in the wild land. In another northern state, wolves kill cows and chickens for food. Farmers believe it necessary to kill wolves in some areas.

Against Killing Wolves

According to most stories, hungry wolves often kill people for food. Even today, the stories of the “big bad wolf” still spread among the people.

Actually wolves are afraid of people and they seldom travel in areas where there is a human smell. When wolves eat other animals, they usually kill the very young or the sick. The strongest isn’t killed. No animal would have lived through the centuries if the weak members had lived. It has always been a law of nature.

Researchers have found wolves and their prey living in balance. The wolves keep the deer population from becoming too large, and that keeps a balance in the wild plant life.

The real problem is that the areas where wolves can live are being used by people. Even if wild land is not used for human needs, the wolves can’t always find enough food. So they travel to the nearest place, which is often a farm. Then there is danger. The “big bad wolf” has arrived! And everyone knows what happens next.
