阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A,B,C,D四个选项中，选出最佳选项并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
B
Sometimes, you feel down or unhappy and it is hard to come back to your high spirit. So if you're having a bad day and need a boost，then help is just a click away.
A website is trying to offer people positive(积极的)messages from strangers to cheer them up. It announces to be“the nicest place on the Internet"，where happy people can present their positive thoughts and feelings to those who are in low spirits.
The website, thenicestplaceontheinter.net, lets people post videos of themselves blowing kisses and leaving positive and encouraging messages to lift visitors' spirits.
The website was created by Jeff Lam and is considered to help many people out when they feel low. The well-known artist who lives in San Francisco said he came up with the idea when he and his friend Lauren were having one of those bad days.
"We tried to become cheerful，but none of the usual methods seemed to be working. Not music. Not food. What we hoped was something positive, honest and good.So with only a camera and work-free weekend, we created‘The Nicest Place On The Internet," he explained on his website.
One user of the site, Joseph Meehan, 27, from Birmingham, said,“it's a fun and exciting website. I visit every once in a while when I'm missing my friends or family. I think it could really be a help to people that are feeling down or sad. It may even stop them from doing something stupid. You can also post your video to the website, and they add it to the series. It's very easy to share the love.”
Mr. Lam is now working on a new project that allows people to leave positive voicemails for strangers. The idea is that strangers send an audio(声音)diary by leaving a voicemail and then anyone can listen to it.
The underlined word "boost" in paragraph 1 probably means
| A．鼓舞 | B．放松 | C．休闲 | D．提高 |
The website was created in order to_______
| A．provide a place for those who want to post their videos |
| B．discover something positive, honest and good |
| C．recommend positive voicemails on the website to people |
| D．offer something positive to cheer people up |
According to the text, which of the following is TRUE?
| A．Jeff Lam is working on a new project to collect more audio diaries. |
| B．Jeff Lam met a lot of difficulties during the time of creating the website. |
| C．Joseph Meehan has got help from the website and supports it. |
| D．Joseph Meehan has shared his own positive videos with strangers. |

We all know that exercise is good for your health. But some kinds of exercise may be better than others. Running, for example, may help to protect against heart disease and other health problems. Running may also help you live longer.
Recently, researchers studied more than 55,000 adults. About a quarter of the adults have a good habit of running. The study found these runners were much healthier than non-runners. In fact, the runners lived, on average（平均）, three years longer than the non-runners.
Running may be good exercise, but it can be difficult on the body. Here are commonly shared ideas among fitness experts（健身专家） to lower the risk of injury（受伤） for people who are new to running.
⊙Take it easy.
Do not run too much, too soon or too fast. Most people get running injuries when they push themselves too hard. The body needs time to get used to increases in distance（里程） or speed.
⊙ Get good running shoes.
There is no single best shoe for every runner. You should find the shoe that offers the best fit and support for your feet. More importantly, you should have a new pair of shoes every 500 to 800 kilometers.
⊙Take good notes.
Take time after each run to write down notes about what you did and how you felt. Look for things that happen again and again. For example, you may find that your knees hurt when you run sometimes. But perhaps you feel great when you have a rest between running days. These notes will help you make the best plan for running.The writer wants to tell us in the first paragraph ____________.
| A．good health comes from running |
| B．running is the best exercise |
| C．health problem can be solved by good exercise |
| D．not all exercise is equally（同样的）good |
In the second paragraph, we know ____________.
| A．a good habit of running may help you live longer |
| B．the number of non-runners was getting smaller |
| C．three quarters of 55,000 adults were new to running |
| D．the hope to live three years longer drives people to exercise |
Increases in distance or speed depend on ____________.
| A．what the fitness experts say |
| B．whether you have the best shoes |
| C．how your body feels |
| D．why you start running |
The purpose of taking notes is to ____________.
| A．remind you of where to have new shoes |
| B．help you find the way of running that fits you |
| C．take a rest between running days |
| D．help you do some research on exercise |
The passage is written to ____________.
