In this way he couldstay more active.Plus, we didn’t have to push a tricycle around the neighborhood.I thought he even wanted to sleep with his bike. He got on, rode, and had a huge smile on his face. When we went out for a walk, he would ask me politely if he could ride his bike. I said yes. Then he would play for a long time and didn’t want to go home. He rode all the year round,regardless of theseason.This year, we had him join in a program called SprocKids started by our local mountain bike club. As you can imagine, my little mountain biker showed great enthusiasm for it. On the first night, he tried riding over the obstacles, which made me worried and frightened. One obstacle was even taller than me, but he persisted.Later, one day, he found an old bike in the storeroom. It was mine. He called me out and said, “Mommy, will you go biking with me?” I was surprised because I hadn’t biked since high school, but I decided to go cycling with him.I was highly awarded for my efforts. On the one hand, I took part in anactivity with mychild. And I didn’t have to do all the work by pushing or carrying him. It was an activity he loved and he told me about every path and every move excitedly. On the other hand, we developed a closer bond.In my opinion, it’s important for kids to stay active. And paren ts’encouragement is very important for them to stay active. But words of encouragement are not enough. It’s better if parents can do physical activities together with their kids.24.

It suggests that strangers hoping to hit it off would do better to play to their similarities rather than trying to impress the other person with attributes which make them unique.To find out how important similarity was to forming relationships, researchers from Wellesly and the University of Kansas approached more than 1,500 random pairs, including romantic couples, friends and acquaintances, and asked them to complete a survey about their values, prejudices, attitudes and personality traits.The information was then compared to see how similar or different each pair was and to seewhether people in longer relationships had more in common. It revealed that all pairings held similar life views even if they had only just met.In a second experiment, the researchers surveyed pairs who had just met in a college classroom setting, and then surveyed the same pairs later. There was virtually no change in beliefs over time suggesting that if couples go into a relationship hoping to change the opinions of the other it is unlikelyto work.Prof Bahns from Wellesly College said, “Though the idea that partners influence each other is central in relationships research, we have identified a large domain in which friends show verylittle change—personality, attitudes and values, and a selection of socially-relevant behaviors.”“Anything that disrupts the harmony of the relationship —such as areas of disagreement,especially on attitudes, values, or preferences that are important—is likely to persist.”“Changeis difficult and unlikely; it’s easier to select people who are compatible with your needs and goals from the beginning.”However, the researchers warn that the quest for similarity in friends could result in a lack of exposure to other ideas, values and perspectives.28. According to the first paragraph, what should we do to get on well with strangers?A. We should care about theirfeelings. B. We should keep adistance with them.C. We should emphasize our common ground.D. We should impress them with our uniqueness.29. What is the purpose of the surveys?A. To explore how to make goodfriends. B. To know theresponden ts’personalities.C. To prove relationship is based onsimilarities. D. To confirm thepossibility of love at first sight.30. Prof. Bahns believed that .A. we can change each other over timeB. it is better to make friends with like-minded personsC. people with different personalities are happier togetherD. most people are willing to change their values for their friends.31. Which proverb can be used to describe the result of the research?A. Like father; like son.B. Birds of a feather flock together.C. Love me, love my dog.D. A friend in need is a friend indeed.DROME, Sept 11 (Reuters)—The food the world wastes accounts for moregreenhouse gasemissions than any country except for China and the United States, the United Nations said in a report on Wednesday.Every year about a third of all food for human consumption, around 1.3 billion tons, is wasted, along with all the energy, water and chemicals needed to produce it and dispose of it. Almost 30 percent of the world’s farmland, and a volume of water equivalent to the annual discharge of the River Volga, are in effect being used in vain.In its report entitled “The Food Wastage Footprint”, the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) estimated that the carbon footprint of wasted food was equivalent to 3.3 billion tons of carbon dioxide per year. If it were a country, it would be the world’s third biggest emitter after China and the United States, suggesting that more efficient food use could contribute substantially to global efforts to cut greenhouse gases to limit global warming.In the industrialized world, much of the waste comes from consumers buying too much and throwing away what they do not eat. In developing countries, it is mainly the result of inefficient farming and a lack of proper storage facilities.“Food wastage reduction would not only avoid pressure on scarce naturalresources but alsodecrease the need to raise food production by 60 percent in order to meet the 2050 population demand,” the FAO said. It suggested improvingcommunication between producers andconsumers to manage the supply chain more efficiently, as well as investing more in harvesting, cooling and packaging methods.It also said consumers in the developed world should be encouraged to serve smaller portionsand make more use of leftovers. Businesses should give surplus food to charities, and develop alternatives to dumping organic waste in landfill.32. The author quotes certain figures in the second paragraph toshow .A. the quantity of food productionB. the serious situation of food wasteC. the amount of global food consumptionD. the influence of global greenhouse effect33. What should developing countries do to reducefood waste?A. To build more storage equipment.B. To purchase right amount of food.C. To improve the food supply chain.D. To invest less in the food processing.34. What does the underlined word “surplu s”in the lastparagraph mean?A. Nutritious.B. Healthy.C. Extra.D. Safe.35. What is the best title forthe text?A. Stop food waste.B. Protect water resources.C. Protect agricultural fields.D. Cut down greenhouse emission.第二节（共5 小题；每小题2 分，满分10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
