• 1．Aerial performer Jennifer Bricker was born without legs，but she never let it stop her.
      Wrapped in a loop of red silk hung from the ceiling Jennifer Bricker climbs and twists to the music.Her head hangs down and her strong arms let go as she balances on her back，high above the ground a move that's all the more daring because she has no legs.
      Jennifer was a few months old when she was adopted by Sharon and Gerald Bricker.She had big brown eyes，a bright smile，and huge amounts of energy.When a doctor advised her adoptive parents to carry her around in a kind of bucket，they refused.
      Jennifer soon learned to walk — and run — on her hands and bottom，and grew up fearlessly climbing trees and bouncing on the trampoline（蹦床） with her three older brothers. "My parents didn't treat me differently so I didn't grasp the concept that I was different.I knew I didn't have legs but that wasn't stopping me from doing the things I wanted to do."
      At the age of three she was fitted with artificial legs，but she never really took to them — she moved more freely without.
      In 1996 the Olympic Games took place in Atlanta.Jennifer loved to watch the women's gymnastics team，and especially adored the 14-year-old Dominique Moceanu who competed for the US.When Moceanu and the women's team won gold，Jennifer decided she was going to be a gymnast，too.She took up power tumbling，which involves performing floor exercises down a runway.But Jennifer did not want any allowances to be made for her disability.
      At the age of 10 she took part in the Junior Olympics and by age 11 she was tumbling champion for the state of Illinois.
      Jennifer now travels the world as an inspirational speaker and acts as an aerial performer.

• 3．We all know that exercise is good for your health.But some kinds of sports 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.Researchers say it is not important how far you run.It also does not matter how fast or even how often you run.As an advertisement for Nike says， "JUST DO IT."
      Recently researchers studied more than 55，000 adults.About one-fourth of the adults reported running regularly.The study found these runners were less likely to die of any form of disease than non-runners，including heart disease.In fact，the runners lived，on average，three years longer than the non-runners.
      This study lasted 15 years.During that time，more than 3 ，400 of the individuals died.About 1 ，200 of the deaths were linked to heart disease or strokes.
      One of the researchers is a man named D.C.Lee，a professor of Iowa State University.He said， "Compared to non-runners，runners showed 30 percent lower risk of death by any causes，including heart attacks，strokes and cancer.Also，runners compared to non-runners showed 45 percent lower risk of death by cardiovascular disease（心血管疾病），including heart attacks."
      D.C.Lee and the other researchers found that speed，distance and how often one runs made little difference in reducing the risk of death.The runners in the study ran between 10 and 16 kilometers per hour.Mr Lee said slower runners and those who only ran once or twice a week were helped nearly as much as those who ran faster and further.And also we looked at the running over time and we found that persistent runners （over six years） showed the biggest benefits，as well."

  A．It's time for you to stop running.
  B．Nike has always kept its promise.
  C．You have to run as fast as possible.

  A．Heart disease is the biggest killer of mankind.
  B．Runners can gradually get rid of any diseases.
  C．Heart disease has killed more people than cancer.
  D．Runners are less likely die from cardiovascular disease.
  （4）What can we know according to Mr Lee？

• 9．"Acknowledged，Detective.This is my..."
      He hung up and told the driverless UNATS Robotics car to get him down to the railway station as fast as it could，angry with himself and with Ada—whose middle name was Trouble，after all—for making him deal with a robot before he'd had his breakfast.The name had been his ex-wife's idea ，something she'd insisted on.
      He hadn't thought his ex-wife in years.Well，months.Weeks，certainly.She'd been a brilliant computer scientist at the UNATS Robotics school at the University of Toronto.Now she was settled in her own research lab in Beijing，providing the kinds of software solutions for robot applications.
      He itched to wiretap her，to read her email or listen in on her phone conversations.He could have done that when they were still together，but he never had.If he had，he would have found out what she was planning.
      He could have talked her out of it.
      "And then what，Artie？" said the nagging voice in his head.He couldn't stop her from chasing her own dream—making the smartest robot in the world，especially with their little daughter in her belly.
      "Shut up!" he told the nagging voice.
      Paragraph 1 ：
      In a few minutes，he was at the front gate of the railway station.______
  Paragraph 2 ：
      There she was，standing by a teenage girl who had the same blue eyes as his.______
