27、How You Open Your Car Door Matters to Cyclists
The“Dutch reach”isn’t a new dance move or a random YouTube challenge. It’s a simple move that can help prevent harm to cyclists. And you might keep your car door safe in the process, too. 【1】
Typically, a person sitting in the driver’s seat of a car opens the door with the hand closest to it. It makes sense since doors are designed to be opened that way. 【2】 But if you happen to do that at the wrong time, you may unknowingly create an obstacle for a passing cyclist. The cyclist might be knocked down off the bike. The car door is likely to be damaged by the fast-moving bicycle.
【3】 However, the car door design and long-time habits have made the process automatically. Luckily,there’s a simple way to solve the problem. Open your car door with your other hand,using the Dutch reach. So instead of using your left hand, reach for the door handle with your right. 【4】 At the very least, you’11 look into your side view mirror to check for any traffic.
The Dutch are used to opening their car doors this way. All Dutch are taught it. It’s part of regular driver education. The technique dates back about 50 or 60 years in the Netherlands. In 2016 an American named Michael Charney started the Dutch Reach Project. He wanted to popularize the practice in the United States. Charney’s efforts may be paying off. 【5】
A.Pull the handle and the door is open.
B.This will force you to turn your body.
C.It is easy to do once you are used to it.
D.People are trying to change the way to open the car.
E.All you have to do is change how you open your door.
F.Several states now include the Dutch reach in their drivers’handbooks.
G.Clearly, the solution is for the person exiting the vehicle to check for traffic.
28、 Tom Savage has quit his job as a research analyst and found a perfect new start sting up his own social enterprise in Madagascar. He tells readers of the UK newspaper the Guardian that they can do likewise and follow their dream.
Every day dozens of Toms are reported in newspapers and magazines and on career websites and blogs. Their real-life tales aren't there to surprise or shock, as a result, many readers are taking on board.
Sophie Collins, 23, is a biology graduate from London. But before starting her course at university in Edinburgh, Scotland, she took a year out and enrolled in an Art Foundation course. “Art makes me happy, even if it won't pay my bills for a couple of years.” said Collins.
The idea that you should be free to follow your dream, whether as a young person or as a middle-aged adult with a well- established career, is on the upgrade.
In schools, students are taught that they can do whatever they want and can be whoever they choose so long as they work hard enough at that dream. People in the public eye, such as Italian classical singer Andrea Bocelli, have given up positions in admirable professions to take their chance on fame. Bocelli was a lawyer before he made it as a singer, selling 70 million albums worldwide.
The media and reality TV talent shows have also played their part in encouraging young people to follow their heart.
In 2006, 18-year-old Ray Quinn, barely out of school, finished second in the British TV talent show The X Factor. He later secured a record deal with Sony.
Each year since then, hundreds of thousands of people have applied to the show, hoping, and expecting, that the chance to realize their ambitions will soon come.
Even if they don't have a particular dream in mind, many young people are encouraged to take a year or two to find where their interests lie, instead of jumping into a job which they may later tire of.
George Evans, 24, is determined to find a job which interests him. “I think most of us recognize that it is happiness and not money that is the ultimate goal,” said the Cambridge University graduate. “Unless you are passionate about your career, you won't truly succeed.”
【1】Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A.Sophie Collins took an art course before entering university to pursue her interest.
B.Andrea Bocelli, who used to be a lawyer, enjoys great success as a classical singer.
C.Ray Quinn achieved his career success though he had performed poorly at school.
D.George Evans thinks happiness counts more than money when choosing a career.
【2】What does the underlined phrase mean?
A.sharing the same boat B.accepting the idea
C.rejecting the concept D.ignoring the fact
【3】What is the main idea of this passage?
A.Choose a career that truly appeals to you.
B.Make efforts to be interested in your job.
C.Make attempts to seek a meaningful career.
D.Build up confidence when seeking a job.
29、Physical activity is important in preventing cardiovascular(心血管的) disease in young people so long as they don’t undertake very intense activity on days when air pollution levels are high, according to a recently released study.
Until now, little has been known about the relationships between the health benefits of physical activity taking place outdoors and the potentially harmful effects of air pollution. Previous research by the authors of the current study had investigated the question in middle-aged people at a single point in time, but this is the first time that it has been investigated in young adults aged between 20—30 years over a period of several years. In addition, the researchers wanted to see what happens when people increase or decrease their physical activity over time.
At each health check-up, the participants completed a questionnaire asking about their physical activity in the past seven days and this information was changed into units of metabolic equivalent task(MET, 代谢当量任务) minutes per week(MET-mins/week). The participants were divided into four groups: 0, 1—499, 500—999 and 1000 or more MET-mins/week. People are recommended to do 500—999 MET-mins/week and this can be achieved by; for example, running, cycling or hiking for 15—30 minutes five times a week, or brisk walking, doubles tennis or slow cycling for 30—60 minutes five times a week.
The researchers used data to calculate annual average levels of air pollution, in particular the levels of small particulate matter that are less than or equal to 10 or 2.5 microns in diameter, known a PM10 and PM25.
Overall, the results show that physical activity is associated with a lower risk of developing cardiovascular disease among young adults. However, when air pollution levels are high, exercising beyond the recommended amount may offset or even reverse the beneficial effects. The study cannot show that air pollution causes the increased cardiovascular risk, only that it is associated with it.
【1】What can we know from Paragraph 2?
A.Outdoor physical activity harms our health.
B.Exercising isn’t advised on serious air pollution days.
C.A first in-depth survey has been done on young adults.
D.Middle-aged people have been the ideal research target.
【2】How do the results come out?
A.By doing research on young adults.
B.By collecting PM10 and PM2.5 data.
C.By making experiments on middle-aged people.
D.By studying a questionnaire on physical activity.
【3】What do we know about the result?
A.Air pollution leads to cardiovascular disease.
B.Cardiovascular disease relates to air pollution.
C.More physical exercise benefits young people.
D.Young adults seldom develop cardiovascular disease.
【4】What would be the best title for the passage?
A.Physical activity & air pollution: when to do more or less physical activity.
B.Physical activity & health benefit: how to prevent cardiovascular disease
C.Physical activity & air pollution: what to do with high air pollution levels
D.Physical activity & health benefit: how to maximize the health benefits of exercising
