Since then, the initiative has seen rapid development: More and more schools began to take part in it. Now, the initiative has made its way around the world. Millions of children in more than 80 countries are running The Daily Mile. And it is still moving forward. It has set up a program called The Daily Mile Fit For Life. It is for those aged 11/12+.

A lot of people pay no attention to traffic signals and rules. For example, they drive at a very high speed, run through red lights, drive in the wrong direction, talk and laugh while driving, and turn as they wish without giving signals. They don’t slow down while approaching (接近) cross roads. Here are the results of the survey of traffic accidents. 1. The main cause of traffic accidents is ________. A. driver factors B. vehicle factors C. environment factors 2. Which is NOT the factor from drivers ? A. Drunk driving. B. Speeding. C. Road environment. 3. What is the purpose of the material? A.

The Daily Mile is a free initiative (自由活动计划) for primary schools. It gets children out of the classroom for 15 minutes every day to run or jog (慢跑) with their classmates to make them healthier and happier. Elaine Wyllie started the initiative (措施) in February 2012. At that time, she was the headteacher at St Ninians Primary School in Stirling, Scotland. She was deeply worried that the children at the school didn’t get much exercise. So, she encouraged her class to run around their playing field for 15 minutes every day. The results were amazing, and then The Daily Mile was born. Yet, few had heard of Elaine until 2015 when she won a big prize and met some like-minded people. By March 2016, The Daily Mile Foundation was set up. Since then, the initiative has seen rapid development: More and more schools began to take part in it. Now, the initiative has made its way around the world. Millions of children in more than 80 countries are running The Daily Mile. And it is still moving forward. It has set up a program called The Daily Mile Fit For Life. It is for those aged 11/12+. It hopes to have not only primary schools, but also high schools, colleges, and workplaces take up The Daily Mile initiative. 5. Why did Elaine Wyllie start the Daily Mile? A. To help her students. B. To help her friends. C. To help the children from all over the world. 6. We can know that The Daily Mile ________. A. started more than 15 years ago B. encourages a 15-minute running every day C. made fewer and fewer schools take part in it 7. The program “The Daily Mile Fit For Life” is NOT for those aged ________. A. 6 years old B. 12 years old C. 15 years old 8. The writer wrote the passage mainly to tell us ________. A. the importance of exercise B. the kindness of Elaine Wyllie C. the history of The Daily Mile C When Justin was a child, his parents always let him do lots of housework such as taking out the rubbish and sending newspapers. His childhood friends often felt sorry for him. But when he grew up, he was better than his childhood friends and lived a happier and healthier life. According to a 40-year study, the children will have a richer and a happier future if they work hard in childhood. Helping do the housework is one of the most important childhood activities. These children believe they can do something to the world. They feel they are important members of the world. And because they felt good about themselves, others felt good about them, too. The study collected all the information about these children. It followed them when they were at ages 25, 31 and 47. The researchers compared the children’s mental-health (心理健康) grades with their childhood-activity grades. It showed that children were more healthier when they were active in childhood activities such as doing chores and doing part-time jobs. And these children were more likely to work hard in school and solve problems independently. Working at any age is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility (责任感), independence and confidence (自信). They also help the child understand that people must work together and work toward common goals. 9. Why did Justin’s friend feel sorry for him ? A. Because Justin couldn’t go out to play. B. Because Justin needed to do much housework. C. Because Justin didn’t feel happy to do the housework. 10. According to the study, ________is good for children’s mental health. A studying hard B. solving problems C. doing housework 11. What does the underlined word “goals” mean in Chinese in the last paragraph? A. 目标 B. 角色 C. 记忆 12. What’s the main idea of the passage? A. Childhood activities are good for one’s future. B. Everyone should do chores to be independent. C. Mental health is important for children. D Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it’s hard for you to communicate with your parents, don’t worry about it. Here is some advice for you. Don’t argue with your parents. Don’t try to talk about something with your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won’t listen to you if you are shouting at them. Go somewhere else to cool off. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you think you can’t speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter to them. Try to understand your parents. Your parents may think differently from you. Tell your parents what you think, what you care about and why. Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. Put yourself in their shoes and you may find a better way out. Michael’s mother didn’t agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to an agreement. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days. It is also important to show your love to your parents. Try to do some small things at home, like making them a cup of tea, helping do some chores, and so on. It helps to keep your relationship closer. A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try. 13. The passage mainly talks about the communication problem between ________. A. teachers and their students B. school kids and their parents C. parents and children of all ages 14. What can we know from the story of Michael? A. It’s important to understand each other. B.
