It started off as part of French military training and has since evolved as a sport, founded by Sebastian Foucan and David Belle, to encompass a wide variety of techniques, philosophies and exercises. Park-our now enjoys the devotion of many die-hard fans across the world and has been the source for much inspiration.
But what is park-our? It is the art of using only your body to navigate from Point A to B in the least time possible, which involves besides leaping, climbing and sprinting, various unusual and complex movements to overcome barriers. Just like the James Bond in the movie Casino Royale? Bond jumps down from a roof to a windowsill and then runs several blocks over obstacles on the way. It is just because of Bond’s wonderful performances that the sport has become popular worldwide.
Yes, that’s pork-our, an extreme street sport aimed at moving from one point to another as quickly as possible, getting over all the obstacles in the path using only the abilities of the human body. Park-our is considered an extreme sport. As its participants dash around a city, they may jump over fences, run up walls and even move from rooftop to rooftop.
Park-our can be just as exciting and charming as it sounds, but its participants see much more in park-our than that.
To overcome all the obstacles on the course and in life is part of the philosophy(理念)behind park-our. This is the same as life. You must determine your destination, go straight, jump over all the barriers as if in park-our and never fall back from them in your life to reach the destination successfully. A park-our lover said, “I love park-our, because its philosophy has become my life, my way to do everything.”
Another philosophy we’ve learned from park-our is freedom. It can be done by anyone, at any time, anywhere in the world. It is a kind of expression of trust in yourself so that you earn energy and confidence.

British researchers have found that children’s IQ predicts their probability of becoming vegetarians (素食者) as young adults.
Recent studies suggest that vegetarianism may be associated with lower cholesterol (膽固醇), reduced risk of overweight and heart disease.
“We know from other studies that brighter children tend to behave in a healthier fashion as adults—they’re less likely to smoke, less likely to be overweight，less likely to have high blood pressure and more likely to take exercise.” lead author Catharine Gale said, “This study provides further evidence that people  with a high IQ tend to have a healthier lifestyle.”
In the study, Gale’s team collected data on nearly 8,200 men and women aged 30, whose IQ had been tested when they were 10 years of age.
“Children who scored higher on IQ tests at age 10 were more likely than those who got lower scores to report that they were vegetarian at the age of 30.”Gale said. 
The researchers found that 4.5 percent of participants were vegetarians. Of these, 2.5 percent were vegan, and 33.6 percent said they were vegetarian but also ate fish or chicken.
There was no difference in IQ score between strict vegetarians and those who said they were vegetarian but also ate fish or chicken，the researchers added.
One expert said the findings weren’t the whole answer，however.
“We don’t know the beliefs or attitudes of the parents of the children，nor do we know if there was a particular event that led these children to becoming vegetarian in their teens or adulthood.” said Lona Sandon, and assistant professor at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas.
【小題1】From the article，we know that ________.

A．brighter children are likely to become vegetarians when they are ten.
B．people with a higher IQ will not be overweight
C．brighter children are likely to have a healthier lifestyle
D．overweight may cause high blood pressure
【小題2】What does the underlined word “vegan” in the sixth paragraph mean?
A．Someone who only eats vegetables.
B．Someone who chooses not to eat meat or fish.
C．Someone who likes eating meat and fish.
D．Someone who likes eating vegetables.
【小題3】This study left some unanswered questions EXCEPT “________”．
A．Did the vegetarian children grow up in a family with a vegetarian parent?
B．Did the children eat a primarily vegetarian diet at the age of 10?
C．Were meatless meals regularly served in the participants’ families?
D．Did the vegetarian children really have a high IQ?
【小題4】The main idea of the passage is that ________.
A．the low IQ children will be unhealthier when they grow up
B．being vegetarians can reduce the risk of overweight and heart disease
C．IQ is important to vegetarians
D．high IQ children are more likely to become vegetarian when they grow up

Many animals recognize their food because they see it. So do humans. When you see an apple or a piece of chocolate you know that these are things you can eat. You can also use other senses when you choose your food. You may like it because it smells good or because it tastes good. You may dislike some types of food because they do not look, smell or taste very nice. Different animals use different senses to find and choose their food. A few animals depend on only one of their senses, while most animals use more than one sense.
Although there are many different types of food, some animals spend their lives eating only one type. The giant panda（大熊貓）eats only one particular type of bamboo（竹子）. Other animals eat only one type of food even when given the choice. A kind of white butterfly（蝴蝶）will stay on the leaves of a cabbage, even though there are plenty of other vegetables in the garden. However, most animals have a more varied diet（多樣化飲食）. The bear eats fruits and fish. The fox eats small animals, birds and fruits. The diet of these animals will be different depending on the season.
Humans have a very varied diet. We often eat food because we like it and not because it is good for us. In countries such as France and Britain, people eat foods with too much sugar. This makes them overweight, which is bad for their health. Eating too much red meat and animal products, such as butter, can also be bad for the health. Choosing the right food, therefore, has become an area of study in modem life.
【小題1】We can infer from the text that humans and animals _________.

A．depend on one sense in choosing food
B． are not satisfied with their food
C．choose food in similar ways
D．eat entirely different food
【小題2】Which of the following eats only one type of food?
A．The white butterfly.B．The small bird.
C．The bear.D．The fox.
【小題3】Certain animals change their choice of food when ___________.
A．the season changes
B．the food color changes
C．they move to different places
D．they are attracted by different smells
【小題4】We can learn from the last paragraph that __________.
A．food is chosen for a good reason
B．French and British food is good
C．some people have few choices of food
D．some people care little about healthy diet

When did you see a polar bear ? On a trip to a zoo, perhaps ? If you had attended a winter activity in New York a few years ago, you would have seen a whole polar bear club. These  “Polar Bears” are people who meet frequently in the winter to swim in freezing cold water. That day, the air temperature was 3 degrees. And the water temperature was a little higher. The members of the Polar Bear Club at Coney Island, New York are usually about the age of 60. Members must satisfy two requirements. First, they must get along well with everyone else in the group; this is very important because there are so many different kinds of people in the club. Polar Bears must also agree to swim outdoors at least twice a month from November through February.
Doctors don’t agree about the medical effects of cold-water swimming. Some are worried about the dangers of a condition in which the body’s temperature drops so slow that finally the heart stops. Other doctors, however, point out that there is more danger of a heart attack during summer swimming because the difference between the air temperature and the water tempreature is much greater in summer than in winter.
The Polar Bears themselves are satisfied with the benefits of cold-water swimming. They say that their favorite form of exercise is very good for the circulatory system (循環(huán)系統(tǒng)) because it forces the blood to move fast to keep the body warm. Cold-water swimmers usually turn bright red after a few minutes in the water. A person who turns blue probably has a very poor circulatory system and could not try cold-water swimming.
The main benefits of cold-water swimming are probably mental. The Polar Bears love to swim all the year round; they find it fun and relaxing. As one 70-year-old woman says, “When I go into the water, I pour my troubles into the ocean and let them float away.”
【小題1】Doctors _________ .

A．have different ideas about the medical effects of cold-water swimming
B．believe swimming is helpful both in summer and in winter
C．enourage people to take part in cold-water swimming
D．point out the possible danger of blood illness during cold-water swimming
【小題2】According to the passage, some doctors believe it is true that _______ .
A．Polar bears are bears swimming in freezing water
B．cold-water swimming can make the body temperature dangerously high
C．you are healthy if cold-water swimming turns your skin color blue
D．cold-water swimming causes more heart attack in summer than in winter
【小題3】The Polar Bears like to swim year-round, for _______ .
A．it is an easy way to keep the body warm in winter
B．they can stay young
C．they find it enjoyable and interesting
D．they might meet fewer troubles in life
【小題4】Which of the following is TRUE according to the text ?
A．The Polar Bear is a club in which people swim to protect polar bears.
B．The club members are all over 60 years old.
C．There is no woman in the club.
D．None of the above.
【小題5】This passage is mainly about _______ .
A．the requirements of the Polar Bear Club
B．a(chǎn) group of cold-water-swimming lovers
C．the Polar Bears’ life in New York
D．doctors’ ideas about cold-water swimming

One of our biggest fears nowadays is that our kids might some day get lost in a “sea of technology” rather than experiencing the natural world. Fear-producing TV and computer games are leading to a serious disconnection between kids and the great outdoors, which will change the wild places of the world, its creatures and human health for the worse, unless adults get working on child’s play.
Each of us has a place in nature we go sometimes, even if it was torn down. We cannot be the last generation to have that place. At this rate, kids who miss the sense of wonder outdoors will not grow up to be protectors of natural landscapes. “If the decline in parks use continues across North America, who will defend parks against encroachment（蠶食）?” asks Richard Louv, author of Last Child in the Woods.
Without having a nature experience, kids, can turn out just fine, but they are missing out a huge enrichment of their lives. That applies to everything from their physical health and mental health, to stress levels, creativity and cognitive（認(rèn)知的）skills. Experts predict modern kids will have poorer health than their parents — and they say a lack of outside play is surely part of it; research suggests that kids do better academically in schools with a nature component and that play in nature fosters（培養(yǎng)）leadership by the smartest, not by the toughest. Even a tiny outdoor experience can create wonder in a child. The three-year-old turning over his first rock realizes he is not alone in the world. A clump of trees on the roadside can be the whole universe in his eyes. We really need to value that more.
Kids are not to blame. They are over-protected and frightened. It is dangerous out there from time to time, but repetitive stress from computers is replacing breaking an arm as a childhood rite of passage（通過(guò)儀式）.
Everyone, from developers, to schools and outdoorsy citizens, should help regain for our kids some of the freedom and joy of exploring, taking friendship in fields and woods that strengthen love, respect and need for landscape. As parents, we should devote some of our energies to taking our kids into nature. This could yet be our greatest cause.
【小題1】According to the passage, children without experiencing nature will _________.

A．be less healthy both physically and mentallyB．keep a high sense of wonder
C．be over-protected by their parentsD．change wild places and creatures for the better
【小題2】According to the author, children’s breaking an arm is _________.
A．the fault on the part of their parentsB．the result of their own carelessness in play
C．the natural experience in their growing upD．the effect of their repetitive stress from computers
【小題3】In writing this passage, the author mainly intends to _________.
A．blame children for getting lost in computer games
B．show his concern about children’s lack of experience in nature
C．encourage children to protect parks from encroachment
D．inspire children to keep the sense of wonder about things around

There has been an outpouring of love for a 23-year-old disabled woman whose dog was killed in front of her while a groomer(美容師) tried to trim(修剪) its claws.
Calls and e-mails came from as far away as the Upper Peninsula and Arizona as well as Oakland and Macomb counties, offering Laurie Crouch, who uses a wheelchair because of multiple sclerosis(硬化癥), everything from dogs to money, such as that from Jason Daly of Roseville who said, “ I would like to buy her a new dog.”
A story about the death of Crouch’s pet, Gooch, was printed on the front page of Macomb Daily. Crouch said a man sat on the dog to trim its nails. Gooch died after one claw was trimmed.
Crouch yelled at the groomer to stop when she saw Gooch was struggling to breathe, but she said she was ignored. “If I could have walked, I would have put my hands on her and pulled her off my dog and physically stopped her, but I can’t do that.” Gooch was not a trained service animal, but naturally helped Crouch by picking up things for her.
“This case is absolute animal abuse(虐待),” Larry Obrecht, division manager of the Oakland County Animal Shelter in Auburn Hills, said.
People who read the story contacted Oakland Press to offer help. A message, from Rebecca Amett of Giggles N Wiggles Puppy Rescue, in Roseville, said, “We have puppies to donate … and want to help the young woman who lost her service dog.”
“When Gooch was with me, I was happy,” Crouch said, “I think I can be happy again but no animal can replace Gooch. There’s never going to be another Gooch out there but I think I will find a dog that can bring me joy again.”
【小題1】What does the passage mainly tell us?

A．A disabled woman’s service dog.
B．A cruel groomer killed a disabled woman’s dog.
C．People’s love for a disabled woman who lost her dog.
D．Disabled woman loves to have the dog as company.

A．offer help and care to Laurie Crouch.
B．give their angry voice to the groomer.

  People believe that climbing can do good to health. Where can you learn the skill of climbing then? If you think that you have to go to the mountains to learn how to climb, you’re wrong. Many Americans are learning to climb in city gyms(體育館). Here, people are learning on special climbing
wall. The climbing wall goes straight up and has small holding places for hands and feet.
How do people climb the wall? To climb, you need special shoes and harness(保護(hù)帶) around your chest to hold you. There are ropes(繩索)tied to your harness. The ropes hold you in place so that you don’t fall. A beginner’s wall is usually about 15 feet high, and you climb straight up. There are small pieces of metal that stick out for you to stand on and hold on to. Sometimes it’s easy to see the new piece of metal. Sometimes, it’s not. The most difficult part is to control your fear. It’s normal for humans to be afraid of falling, so it’s difficult not to feel fear. But when you move away from the wall, and the ropes hold you, and you begin to feel safe. You move slowly until you reach the top.
Climbing attracts people because it’s good exercise for almost everyone. You use your whole body, especially your arms and legs. This sport gives your body a complete workout. When you climb, both your mind and your body can become stronger.
【小題1】The most difficult thing to do in wall climbing is _______.

A．to tie ropes to your shoes B．to control your fear
C．to move away from the wall D．to climb straight up
【小題2】The word “workout” underlined in the last paragraph most probably means _________.

No doubt that you know about Charities. Here it is another chance for you to know more. Difficult times often bring out the best in people. And this was the case for basketball star Yao Ming, who hosted a television show in Shanghai that raised US$300,000 to help researchers find a cure for SARS. Fundraising, or charity, is an act of goodwill towards others. Charities in the West have more flexible ways. Look at a typical day for Ruth, a wealthy woman in the UK, for example. Ruth wakes up in the morning and collects her post. There’s a letter addressed to her with a picture of a half-dead, beaten horse. It’s from a charity asking Ruth to donate money to save the animals. The door bell rings and there, on Ruth’s doorstep, is an old woman asking for money to help the aged. She turns on the television, hears sad music and sees a picture of a wide-eyed child dying of hunger in Africa with an appeal for money to help the child. Ruth then goes shopping for a dress to wear to that evening’s large party for the rich and famous. The ticket cost her a small fortune, but she doesn’t mind because most of the money is going to a charity that fights AIDS. She feels good about going because she’s helping the sick. Within five minutes of walking down the street, Ruth has passed a charity shop. She doesn’t stop because she doesn’t think she’d find a suitable dress there—it’s full of old, secondhand clothes. But, many other people enter and but all sorts of bargains. Edna, a little old lady, looks after the shop. Any profit it has made goes to a cancer charity. Now that she has retired, she has plenty of spare time to offer her services for free.
For people like Yao Ming, Ruth and Edna, charity is a virtue that holds the same importance in life as faith and hope. “As you look back on your life, the moments that stand out are the moments when you have done things for others,” said Scottish author Henry Drummond.
【小題1】Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the story as a way of fundraising    ?

A．Charity party B．Charity post 
C．Charity TV program D．Charity for beggars. 
【小題2】What does the word “raise” in the first paragraph mean    ?
A．Collect together B．Donate 
C．Increase D．Bring to someone’s attention. 
【小題3】We can infer from the passage that    .
A．Yao Ming donated US$300,000 to help researchers find a cure for SARS 
B．Edna may not be a rich lady but she is willing to do something for others 
C．Ruth leads a busy life and she feels very tired 
D．Ruth is angry because so many people ask her for money every day 
【小題4】What’s the writer’s attitude towards charity    ?
A．The writer thinks it’s something only people like Ruth can afford to do 
B．The writer just wants to inform us of the different ways to practice charity 
C．The writer thinks it’s a virtue and admires the people who practice it 
D．The writer doesn’t make it clear in the story 
【小題5】The underlined part in the last paragraph probably means that    .
A．when you look back sometimes, you need stand out 
B．when you want to do something for others, you need stand out 
C．the moment you stand out, you can do something for others 
D．what impresses people deeply is what they have done for others
