In 1943， when I was 4， my parents moved from Coeur d’Alene， Idaho， to Fairbanks， Alaska， where adventure was never very far away.

We arrived in the summer， just in time to enjoy the midnight sun. All that sunlight was fantastic for Mom’s vegetable garden. Working in the garden at midnight tended to throw her timing off， so she didn’t care much about my bedtime.

Dad was a Railway Express agent and Mom was his clerk. That left me in a mess. I usually managed to find some trouble to get into. Once I had a little fire going in the dirt basement of a hotel. I had tried to light a barrel （桶） of paint but couldn’t really get a good fire going. The smoke got pretty bad， though， and when I made my exit， a crowd and the police were there to greet me. The policemen took my matches and drove me home.

Mom and Dad were busy working in the garden and Dad told the police to keep me， and they did！ I had a tour of the prison before Mom rescued me. I hadn’t turned 5 yet.

As I entered kindergarten， the serious cold began to set in. Would it surprise you to know that I soon left part of my tongue on a metal handrail at school？

As for Leonhard Seppala， famous as a dog sledder （駕雪橇者）， I think I knew him well because I was taken for a ride with his white dog team one Sunday. At the time I didn’t realize what a superstar he was， but I do remember the ride well. I was wrapped （包裹） heavily and well-sheltered from the freezing and blowing weather.

In 1950， we moved back to Coeur d’Alene， but we got one more Alaskan adventure when Leonhard invited us eight years later by paying a visit to Idaho to attend a gathering of former neighbors of Alaska.

24. What can be inferred about the author’s family？

A. His father was a cruel man. B. His parents didn’t love him.

C. His mother didn’t have any jobs. D. His parents used to be very busy.

25. What happened when the author was 4？

A. He learned to smoke. B. He was locked in a basement.

C. He was arrested by the police. D. He nearly caused a fire accident.

26. What can we learn about Leonhard Seppala？

A. He was good at driving dog sleds. B. He was known by few people in Alaska.

C. He often visited the author’s family after 1950. D. He had a white dog team to help people in need.

27. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text？

A. To look back on his childhood with adventures. B. To describe the extreme weather of Alaska.

C. To express how much he misses Leonhard. D. To show off his pride in making trouble.

C

Do you love running？ It is a good exercise， yet many people find it boring. But what if making your morning jog a creative one？ Like jumping from walls and over gaps， and ground rolls？ Just like James Bond in the movie Casino Royale？ Bond jumps down from a roof to a windowsill （窗臺） and then runs several blocks over obstacles （障礙物） on the way. It is just because of Bond’s wonderful performances that the sport has become popular worldwide.

Yes， that’s Parkour， 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. Parkour is considered an extreme sport. As its participants dash （飛奔） around a city， they may jump over fences， run up walls and even move from rooftop to rooftop.

Parkour can be just as exciting and charming as it sounds， but its participants see Parkour much more than that.

Overcoming all the obstacles on the course and in life is part of the philosophy behind Parkour. This is the same as life. You must determine your destination， go straight， and jump over all the barriers as if in Parkour and never fall back from them in your life to reach the destination successfully. A Parkour lover said， “I love Parkour because its philosophy has become my life， my way to do everything.”

Another philosophy we’ve learnt from Parkour is freedom. It can be done by anyone， at any time and anywhere in the world. It is a kind of expression of trust in yourself that you earn energy and confidence.

28. What can we learn about Parkour？

A. It is a team sport. B. It needs special training.

C. It is a good but boring sport. D. It challenges human abilities.

29. Moving around a city， Parkour’s participants ___ .

A. should run to extremes B. may choose to escape

C. must learn to survive D. can ask for help

30. What do the philosophies of Parkour involve？

A. Dreams and success. B. Sports and extremes.

C. Excitement and popularity. D. Determination and freedom.

31. What is the text mainly about？

A. What Parkour is. B. When we can do Parkour.

C. Where we can do Parkour. D. How Parkour does us good.

D

While car-sharing is a concept （概念） that’s catching on， old-fashioned carpooling where a group of people take turns driving each other to work has always faced a resistance （抗拒）. In a study on traffic problems by ABC News， 84% of those who drive to work say that they still do it alone. More than half of those lone riders insist that carpooling is just too inconvenient， and 18% say they simply don’t know anyone to share a ride with.

Now technology makes carpooling easier and more fun. NuRide， a company which provided an online carpooling service last year， offers daily travelers in the Washington area not just a web-based list of would-be carpoolers but also a way to arrange a trip online. Here’s how it works： rider seekers enter the positions where their trip will begin and end， the time they want to leave and if they’re willing to drive or just ride in someone else’s car. The website’s search engine then looks for matches and makes lists of the names of traveling companions， along with the car model and the exact time and place to meet for each trip. People who want to share the ride can show their interest in joining in online and then meet their car mates when it’s time to go.

NuRide users aren’t riding with total strangers. They are required to provide the name of their employer and a work e-mail address， both of which need to be checked before being listed on the website.

To attract users， NuRide offers a frequent rider prize： anyone who shares a ride gets a $1 credit. So far， 2，300 people have signed up. NuRide CEO Rick Steele said that more than 50，000 rides have been arranged on the website， resulting in 1.4 million fewer miles driven and 650 fewer tons of automobile emissions （機動車排放）.

32. What is the drivers’ opinion about carpooling according to the study？

A. 18% of them don’t know it. B. Many think it is inconvenient.

C. 84% of them accept it. D. Some consider it dangerous.

33. What can NuRide do for its users？

A. Decide car models for them. B. Give them a list of car owners.

C. Help them arrange a shared car trip. D. Find out their car mates’ true names.

34. What information does a NuRide user need to provide？

A. His age. B. His hobbies.

C. His home address. D. His employer’s name.

35. It can be inferred that NuRide is helpful in ___ .

A. improving air quality B. promoting driving safety

C. increasing job opportunities D. making people know each other

The Writer’s Block

Whatever you have to write， the idea of a blank page can be very discouraging. Here are a few easy tips to help you overcome your writer’s block.
