Jim Johnson,a mail carrier,was an institution in the leafy Westmoreland,
Westhaven and Westover Hills neighborhoods,just north of downtown Wilmington.
where he delivered much more than the mail.He knew all the kids and their pets by
name;he carried in the groceries;he took note of unlocked doors,offered gardening
advice.and taught more than a few young boys the art of the curveball.When he
wasn't doing all that,Jim was running across a checkerboard of green lawns (
to ensure the local postal service did not fall short ofits daily promise.
Though the postal service is often disparaged now,the trust in local postal
service lives on.In many communities,that trust is won every day when life-saving
medicine,greeting cards,social security checks,college acceptance letters
even the bills-appear in mailboxes in front of the houses.
After more than three decades,Jim approached his final days on the job much
like any other.He drove a boxy postal truck to North DuPont Road for the first
unofficial stop of the day.Butch,a dog who belonged to one of the neighbors,was
waiting just like every day before.And just like every day before,he got into the
jump seat and they were off.On the route,Jim and Butch had become inseparable.
Now,the dog and the mailman would ride off to retirement together.At every stop.
Jim accepted the parting good wishes of families that had become his own.There
were tears and laughter,and hugs filled with warm memories.
It's been 33 years since Jim left the route.but we are still reminded of the
deep bond established betweenmmyand etercrer.That's what the postal
service means to us.
24.What do we know about Jim Johnson from the first paragraph?
A.He's open-minded.
C.He's warm-hearted.
B.He's sharp-eyed.
D.He's strong-willed.
25.What does the underlined word"disparaged"in paragraph 2 mean?

C.Investigated.
26.What did Jim do besides daily delivery on his final days of work?
D.Suspended.

C.He prepared a retirement party.
B.He sent presents to his friends.
27.What is the author's purpose in writing the text?

Jane Jacobs spent her working life advancing a distinct vision of the city-in
particular focusing on what makes a successful urban community.At the heart of
her vision is the idea that urban life should be an energetic and rich affair.whereby
people are able to interact with one another in dense (and exciting urban
environments.She prefers disorder to order,walking to driving.and diversity to
uniformity.
For Jacobs,urban communities are organic beings that should be left to grow
and change by themselves and not be subject to the grand plans of so-called experts
and officials.The best judges of how a city should be-and how it should develop
一
are the local residents themselves.Jacobs argues that urban communities
are best placed to understand how their city functions,because city life is created
and sustained through their various interactions.
Jacobs notes that the built form of a city is crucial to the life of an urban
community,especially the sidewalks.The streets in which people live should be a
tight pattern of crossed sidewalks,which allow people to meet,talk,and get to know
one another.
Such a complex but ultimately enriching set of encounters helps
individuals know their neighbours and neighbourhood better.
5
Diversity and mixed-use of space are also.for Jacobs,key elements of thsuban
form.The commercial.business,and residential elements of a city should not be
separated out but instead be side by side,to allow for greater integration of
people.There should also be a diversity of old and new buildings.and people's
interactions should determine how buildings get used and reused.
Finally,urban communities grow better in places where a critical mass of
people live,work.and interact.Such high-density spaces are,she feels,engines of
creativity and vitality.They are also safe places to be,because the higher density
means that there are more "eyes on the street":shopkeepers and locals who know
their area and maintain a close watch over the neighbourhood.
28.What does Jacobs find most important for a successful urban community?
A.Efficient public transport.
B.Strong interaction between people.
C.Uniform style of buildings.
D.A comparatively large population.
29.Who does Jacobs think should make decisions on urban development?
A.Local residents
B.Government officials.
C.City planners.
D.Construction workers.
30.How does Jacobs suggest sidewalks be built?
A.Lined with plants.
B.Painted with clear signs.
C.Tightly connected.
D.Convenient for the old.
31.According to Jacobs,the "eyes on the street"bring a sense of
A.pride
B.comfort
C.security
D.urgency
D
Want to leam a new language or get A's in college exams?Previous studies
have shown that exercise can help stimulate the areas of the brain that convert (
new information into long-term memory.A new study has taken this information
one step further and found the best time when exercise can help maximize learning.
Building upon past research that found exereise releases biochemicals that
improve mental function,scientists at Radboud University and the University of
Edinburgh conducted a study to determine when exercise was most beneficial to
learning
Participants-72 healthy male and female adults-were first asked to
perform a computer test that challenged their visual and spatial leaming.After the
test,all of the subjects watched nature documentaries,but two-thirds of them also
6
exercised.Half of the exeriser did circuit training on an exercise bike for 35
minutes immediately after the test.The other half did the same exercise but not until
four hours after they had been tested
Two days later,all of the participants retumed to the lab for a recall test,and
thcy4 ere connected to MRI(共振成像)machines to assess their brain activity.
The participants who exercised four hours after taking the computer test were able to
recall what they had leamed most accurately.Their brainwaves also showed more
consistent levels of activity,indicating that their brains were less taxed to remember
what they had learned.
According to this research,the best time to exercise to improve learning is four
hours after studying But why?That's one question the researchers have yet to
answer.Another question left unanswered is the level of exercise that might best
improve leaming.I've run enough marathons to prove the fact that my brain is
anything but sharp during or after a tough workout.But the researchers noted
that light workouts might not give the brain enough of a biochemical boost to
improve learning.
32.What did the new study aim to explore?
A.When exercise is best for leaming.
B.What biochemicals are good for health.
C.How brainwaves should be measured.
D.Which area of the brain is the most active.
33.What were all the participants asked to do during the experiment?
A.Train on bicycles.
B.Do mathematics exercises
C.Play computer games.
D.Watch films about nature.
34.Why did the participants retum to the lab two days later?
A.To do a medical examination.
B.To have their memory tested.
C.To get their workouts recorded
D.To finish their previous tasks.
35.What might the author's marathon running prove?
A.The findings of the study are reliable.
B.Long-distance runners are often smart.
C.Studies on the marathon are not enough.
D.Hard exercise may not sharpen the brain.
