I’m Barbara Sloan. I am 51. My friendship with Michele lasted for a long time before we met each other. Michele was six months older than me. We started writing to each other as teenagers but it was 36 years before we came to face to face in 2013.
Over the years, we also exchanged of our families and gifts. In 1988, I married (与……结婚) Alan. Michele sent me a watch. When my first child Lindsey was born in 1991, she sent me a nice dress. After Duncan and Robert were born, I received a toy bear and a nice book about how to take care of children from her.
In June, 2013, I flew to France to meet Michele and we spent a very happy week together. I thought of staying for another week but Alan called me because Robert was ill (生病的). So I had to come back.
After I came back to England, I keep the habit of writing to Michele every month as usual.

Sports can help you keep fit and close to nature. However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should realize that sport you choose might have great influence on the environment.
Some sports are resource—hungry. Golf(高尔夫), as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also lots of water. Besides, huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses (球场) in good condition. This causes major environmental changes. For example, in the dry places of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for (为…承担责任) serious water shortage(短缺) in some local areas.
There are many environment—friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don’t need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes, and you don’t have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also help you stay healthy. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and keep thin.
Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment—friendly equipment and buying products(产品) made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be “green gyms.” They are better replacements(替代) for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms(体育，体育馆) play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership(会员身份). And best of all, it’s free. Which of following does the writer most probably support according to the passage?
| A．Bicycling around the lake. |

| C．Playing basketball in a gym. |
| D．Swimming in a sports center. |

Long, long ago a man went to India and he had never been there before. When he got there, he saw a lot of fruit, but much of it was expensive because they couldn’t grow much because there was little water. Finally he saw a big basket of some very red and long fruit. And it was the cheapest in the shop.
So he went up and asked, “How much each kilo?” and the shop keeper said, “Two rupees(卢比).”Two rupees in India was nothing. So he bought a whole kilogram of the fruit and started eating it. But after he ate some of it: oh, my god! His eyes watered, his mouth watered and burnt, and his face became red. He jumped up and down, saying, “Ah! Ah! Ah!”
But he still continued to eat the fruit! Some people who were looking at him shook their heads and said, “You’re crazy, man. Those are chilies(辣椒)!You can’t eat so many! People use them as a condiment, but only a little bit to put into food for taste. You can’t just eat them like that.” But the silly man said, “No, I can’t stop! I paid money for them, and now I’ll eat them up. It’s my money!”
And you think that man was silly, right? We sometimes do a lot of things like that. We spend money, time or effort doing something. And even though it’s been a long time, hard experience tells us it won’t work, and we know there’s no more hope, we still continue just because we’ve put money, time, effort and love in to it. Just like the man who ate the chilies and felt so bad but couldn’t stop because he didn’t want to waste the money he’d paid.
So even if you’ve lost something, let it go and move on. That’s better than continuing to lose.The man chose to buy the red and long fruit only because .
| A．he hadn’t eaten it before | B．he was hungry |
| C．it was cheap | D．he hadn’t seen it before |

Which of the following sentence is TRUE?
| A．The man went to India to buy fruit. |
| B．The man didn’t want to waste money. |
| C．The man bought the fruit because it was expensive. |
| D．India can grow a lot of fruit. |
From the passage, we can learn that_________.
| A．we shouldn’t waste money |
| B．we shouldn’t eat chilies |
| C．we shouldn’t buy something cheap |
| D．letting something go is better than keeping on losing |
