Aaron Fotheringham has been an amazing person with backflips(后空翻) and other skateboarding tricks throughout his teens. And his famous backflip has won worldwide notice in the form of Record. Why did his particular backflip earn such a reputation? Aaron was the first person to successfully perform a backflip in a wheelchair. Aaron was born ill. He has been in a wheelchair since the age of 8. Since then, he has even developed a new extreme sport in which wheelchair-bound athletes use their chairs like skateboards or bikes to do tricks. Now Aaron's friends call him "Wheelz", and he says it's huge praise. Though Aaron makes his stunts(特技表演) look easy, doing tricks in a wheelchair is very different from using a skateboard or bike. It's a completely different skill set. If a skateboarder goes into a backflip like Aarons and doesn’t start out with enough rotation (旋转), he or she can bend his or her body to speed up. This allows a skateboarder to make complete rotation in time for a successful landing. But Aaron can't bend his body any more than it is already. That means Aaron has to have everything perfect before going into a backflip. He needs to launch himself to just the right height. If he doesn't, he could fall on the ground completely. "My rotation is so quick that I don't have much time to think," says Aaron. Aaron's stunts take a lot of practice. He tries to make it to the skate park every day to work on his backflip and try out new tricks. Even though he's an excellent athlete, Aaron doesn't always land his stunts perfectly. But Aaron says he doesn't let bad landings stop him. He gets right back up and goes for his backflip again. 【1】What do we know about Aaron? A.He can do backflips as a disabled person. B.He is an excellent skating athlete. C.He has had to sit in a wheelchair since birth. D.He has developed a new game by using chairs. 【2】Being called "Wheelz", Aaron felt________________. A.disappointed B.happy C.angry D.ashamed 【3】What is the most important thing for Aaron to perform a backflip? A.Starting out with enough rotation. B.Bending the body to speed up. C.Reaching a suitable height. D.Having enough time to think. 【4】What would be the best title for this text? A.A Disabled Teen Competes in Adventure Games B.A Teen Performs Excellent Stunts C.A Disabled Teen Wins Respect from Others D.A Teen Performs a Backflip in a Wheelchair |

In many developed countries, people who have high degrees begin to work longer than those who don't. About 65% of American men aged 62－74 with a professional degree are in the workforce (劳动人口), compared with 32% of men who only finish high school. This gap is part of a deepening divide between the welleducated wealthy and the unskilled poor. Rapid technological advance has raised the incomes of the highly skilled while squeezing those of the unskilled. The consequences, for individuals and society, are profound（意义深远的）. The world is facing an astonishing rise in the number of old people, and they will live longer than ever before. Over the next 20 years the global population of those aged 65 or more will almost double, from 600 million to 1.1 billion. The experience of the 20th century, when greater longevity (长寿) translated into more years in retirement rather than more years at work, has persuaded many observers that this shift (变化) will lead to slower economic growth, while the swelling (渐增的) ranks of pensioners will create government budget problems. Policies are partly responsible. Many European governments have abandoned policies that used to encourage people to retire early. Even the betteroff must work longer to have a comfortable retirement. But the changing nature of work also plays a big role. Pay has risen sharply for the highly educated, and those people continue to reap (获得) rich rewards into old age because these days the educated elderly are more productive than the preceding (先前的) generation. Technological change may well reinforce (强化) that shift: the skills that complement (补充) computers, from management knowhow to creativity, do not necessarily decline with age. 【1】What is the common phenomenon in the workforce in rich countries? A. Younger people are replacing the elderly. B. Welleducated people tend to work longer. C. People with no college degree cannot find any job. D. Unemployment rates are decreasing year after year. 【2】In view of the experience of the 20th century, many observers predict that ________. A. economic growth will slow down B. government budgets will decrease C. more people will try to receive higher education D. there will be more competition in the job market 【3】According to the text, what is the result of policy changes in European countries? A. Unskilled workers may choose to retire early. B. More and more people have to go abroad to hunt for jobs. C. People may be able to use computers to do more complicated work. D. Even wealthy people must work longer to live comfortably in retirement. 【4】The underlined word “knowhow” in the last paragraph probably refers to “________”． A. a completely different environment B. practical knowledge and technical skills C. a better understanding of policy changes D. the courage to face difficulties and dangers |

In Australia and other developed countries, consumption (消耗) is viewed as important for economic growth. In recent years, however, concern has grown about the increasing number of people consuming limited resources at a shocking rate. The United States has only about 5 percent of the world's population, yet consumes about 35 percent of the world's energy. Impressive packaging and storage such as refrigeration is a luxury (奢侈) that consumers in developed countries take for granted (认为理所当然). In many parts of the world where refrigeration is either unavailable or too expensive, fresh food is bought daily from open-air markets. These markets make little influence on the environment. They do not use energy to store food and because they mostly operate during daylight hours, no electricity is used for lighting. Packaging is mostly unnecessary, and when needed, is often made from biodegradable (可生物降解的) vegetable matter. These markets still exist in many parts of the developed world, but are an alternative (供选择的) form of shopping. Even in developing countries, shops are fast becoming the main places for consumers. Commercial (商业的) packaging is becoming as much a part of consumption in developing countries as it is in developed countries. Plastic bags, drink cans, and hamburger containers are now thrown into rubbish piles along with banana leaves which are a more traditional form of packaging. In most cases, it all ends up at the local garbage disposal plant and is not recycled. Many people are starting to notice the influence of consumerism on the environment. It is affecting not only the earth, but also our health. Some scientists think that the greenhouse effect has increased due to the production, use and disposal of many of the products we use. 【1】What does the author think of packaging and refrigeration? A.It's quite necessary. B.It's a costly process. C.It's the progress of society. D.It's different from consumerism. 【2】What can be known about the open-air markets in developing countries? A.They are not changing. B.They can't be seen now. C.They are getting less popular. D.They are appearing in more places. 【3】What are rarely used as packaging according to the author? A.Drink cans. B.Plastic bags. C.Banana leaves. D.Hamburger containers. 【4】What's the best title for the text? A.Different Ways of Packaging B.Technology vs. the Environment C.Markets in Developing Countries D.Consumption vs. Economic Growth |
