　　People need to be active to be healthy. Our modern lifestyle and all the conveniences we've

　　become used to have made us keep a long time sitting, such as sitting around in front of the TV or thecomputer, riding in the car for even a short trip to the store and using elevators instead of stairs. That'sdangerous for our health. Physical inactivity is as dangerous to our health as smoking!

　　Add up your activities during the day in periods of at least 10 minutes each. Start slowly . .. and

　　build up. If you're already doing some light activities move up to more moderate ones. A little is good,but more is better if you want to achieve health benefits.

　　Scientists say accumulate 60 minutes of physical activity every day to stay healthy or improve yourhealth. Time needed depends on effort -- as you progress to moderate activities, you can cut down tothirty minutes, four days a week.

　　Physical activity doesn't have to be very hard to improve your health. This goal can be reached bybuilding physical activities into your daily routine.

　　Passage Two

　　Many children do not go to school either because their parents want them at home as carets for

　　siblings, or simply because their parents cannot be bothered to send them. Thousands more are notregistered at any school at all, because of their families' unstable lives.

　　Underlying this dreadful situation there are two central truths. First of all, the problem of childrennot going to school often has more to do with their parents than with the children themselves. Secondly,once children go to school, we need to make sure that the experience is a positive one so that they wantto keep on going.

　　In Britain, the Ministry of Education has introduced a complex package of sticks and carrots topersuade schools to bring truants (children who do not go to school when they should) and excludedchildren back into the classroom. It is paying grants so that a thousand schools can set up special unitsto help these children. Schools receive the grant if they bring a target number of children back toschool; if they do not meet the target, the grant is withdrawn. Parents are the subject of thiscampaign, too: the Home Office has introduced fines for parents who fail to send their children toschool, and has given the police power to pick up truants on the streets.

　　40. According to the text, there are thousands of children who

　　A. live in stable families

　　B. walk around on the streets

　　C. are not registered at any school

　　D. stay at home doing the housework

　　42. The Ministry of Education will take away a school's grant if

　　A. they meet their targets

　　B. children escape from school

　　B. will give money to parents to send children to school

　　C. has given powers to the police to pick up parents

　　D. persuaded children not to escape from school

　　Passage Three

　　We show an amazing tolerance for a form of pollution that is a growing problem: noise. Airplane

　　traffic is increasing by five percent a year. Urban noise is doubling every ten years. By air, land and

　　sea, we are facing an onslaught of noise that is threatening our ability to live in this world.

　　We have granted ourselves the right to make noise. But what about our responsibilities? Have wedeveloped a sense of acoustic responsibility?

　　The evidence suggests that we have not. Many people seem to believe they have an unlimited rightto make noise with cars and motorbikes, and with loud music at home and in the street. In somecountries measures have been taken to force people to make less noise. In Britain, for example, a lawhas been passed preventing people from disturbing their neighbors with music at night.

　　It is widely accepted that we should deal with our rubbish in a responsible way. Noise is in realitya particularly insidious (潜在的) form of rubbish. It destroys community life, pursues us into ourhomes, keeps us from sleeping and is the cause of many stress-related illnesses, as well as hearing loss.

　　Our acoustic environment belongs to all of us. Everyone has the right to use it, but no one has the right to abuse it. Let's start using it responsibly.

　　B. think that cars and motorcycles are disturbing

　　C. feel responsible for their noise

　　D. feel guilty for making loud noise

　　47. The author points out that

　　A. noise cannot be prevented at all

　　B. people do not feel responsible for their rubbish

　　C. noise and garbage are problems that disturb us at home

　　D. we should accept our responsibility for noise as we do for rubbish

　　Passage Four

　　The majority of people in Scotland are in favor breaking away from the rest of the UK andbecoming independent, according to a poll taken just before the 300th anniversary of the Act of Union,which united Scotland and England.

　　A pair of Acts of Parliament, passed in 1706 and 1707 that came into effect on May l, 1707,created Great Britain. The parliaments of both countries were dissolved, and replaced by a new

　　Parliament of Great Britain in Westminster, London.

　　Passage Five

　　Twelve years ago, oceanographer Captain Charles Moore was skippering his yacht the Alguita in

　　the North Pacific. He sailed into a mass of floating plastic rubbish which took him and his crew a weekto cross. This floating rubbish dump is now called the Great Pacific Garbage Patch and doubles the sizeof the USA.

　　The United Nations says there are now 18,000 pieces of plastic in every square kilometre of sea

　　everywhere in the world. A walk along any beach will give you some idea of the seriousness of plasticpollution.

　　The trouble is, when we throw out plastic with the trash, the plastic doesn't go away. Plastic does

　　not biodegrade. It photo degrades into smaller and smaller particles which then enter the food chain.Plastics contain cancer-causing chemicals along the food chain in increasing concentrations and end upin our fish and chips, along with hormone disruptors. Scientists try to tell us that we are killingourselves as well as other animals. At least 200 species are, as I speak, being killed by plastic.Whales, dolphins, turtles and albatross confuse floating plastic, especially shopping bags and six packrings, with jellyfish.

　　Some countries have rebelled and banned plastic bags. And the first was brave Bangladesh. Then

　　China took the same decision. Botswana, Canada, Israel, Kenya, Rwanda, Singapore and South

　　Africa have also banned plastic bags. Notice how many of the world's richest countries are not on thislist. It's an absolute disgrace.

　　Think globally, act locally. A small Australian town is now one step ahead of the rest of theworld. The inhabitants of Bundanoon in New South Wales have banned plastic bottles from the town.We need to follow their example and eliminate plastic from our lives, take care of the earth and vote forpeople we think will do the same.

　　52. The writer says that we can get an idea of how much plastic rubbish there is in the oceans

　　C. sailing across the Pacific

　　D. taking a walk along any beach

　　53. The reader learns that toxic chemicals get into our food

　　A. when plastic becomes small enough to enter our food chain

　　B. because other animals are being killed by plastic

　　C. because plastic does not biodegrade

　　D. from plastic bags from supermarkets

　　54. In the fourth paragraph the writer is angry because

　　A. not many of the world's richest countries have banned plastic bags

　　B. not many countries have banned plastic bags

　　C. countries are not developing countries

　　D. most of the countries are African

　　55. In the final paragraph the writer advises us to

　　B. take individual action

　　C. visit Australia
