Some PE classes feature in-line (滚轮) skating, yoga, and even rock climbing. Experts have called those types of activities “the new PE”.Such activities are part of a larger effort to help kids develop lifelong fitness habits and to keep them from becoming overweight. Now, 9 million U.S. children and teens are overweight. Obesity (肥胖) can lead to health problems such as diabetes and heart disease later in life.“Our children and youth are becoming unhealthy and obese,” says Lindsey Johnson. “Skateboarding is a great activity that keeps kids doing physical movement and gives them new skills and interest.”Some schools dont allow skateboarding because they say it is dangerous. Cendali, however, argues that regular practice eliminates a great deal of the danger. “We teach students how to do it and how to do it safely,” he says.Some people say skateboarding teaches life lessons. “Skateboarding teaches kids to believe that if they stick with something they will finally succeed,” says education expert Richard Sagor of Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Oregon.Skateboarding inspires kids not to give up in learning difficult skills. “Its natural for kids to want to learn and get better at things,” adds Sagor. “When it comes to skateboarding, theyll try a trick hundreds of times before they succeed.” That same effort could be made in schoolwork.Eric Klassen agrees that skateboarding requires kids to stop saying a task is too hard for them. “A baby will attempt to walk 600 to 900 times before he or she is successful,” says Klassen. “We tell students that they shouldnt say I cant do it unless theyve tried 600 to 900 times.”5. Skateboarding is introduced into American schools to _.A. encourage students to compete bravely in competitionB. teach students how to deal with risksC. prevent students suffering from heart disease later in lifeD. help students form the habit of doing sports6. The underlined word “eliminates” in Paragraph 4 probably means “_”.A. reduces B. increases C. adds D. brings7. What life lesson do kids learn from skateboarding?A. To succeed in life you have to learn skateboarding.B. You will succeed in life if you dont give up.C. Only after failing 600 to 900 times can you succeed.D. There is no hard work after learning skate-boarding well.8. What would be the best title for the passage?A. The dangerous PE B. Skills of skateboardingC. The new PE D. The change of PECToday most Chinese teenagers are happy to be favored by two parents and four grandparents in their families. But have you ever thought about how to take care of four to twelve old people when you grow up and get married? This could be a problem for most Chinese youths as China is entering a new stage of an aging society.An aging society refers to one where 10 percent or more of its population is over 60. By the end of 2007, Chinese over 60 years old had made up 11.7 percent of the nations total population. “China is getting old before becoming rich,” said Cai Chuang, a professor at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. The population increase that has powered Chinese growth for three decades will give way over the next ten years to a rapid aging of the society. This will lead to weaker economic growth, because of a lack of labor resources.As a result of the family planning policy, it is expected that the countrys total working population will decrease after 2015.China is not the only country getting old. More than 60 countries have become aging societies and one in three people in the European Union is a senior citizen. However, experts said that China doesnt have a highly developed social security network to support the old. Social security is an insurance program protecting those in need, including the old, the disabled and others.9An aging society is a society that . Aless than 10% of its population is over 60 B10% or more of its population is over 60Cthere are four old people in a family Dmost of its population is over 6010If China enters an aging society, _.Athere will not be enough labor resourcesBthe family planning policy will be endedCeveryone needs to take care of four to twelve old peopleDChina will have a highly developed social security network11What does Cai Chuang mean by saying “China is getting old before becoming rich.”?AChina will be an aging society, then be a developed country.BChina will be a rich country before being an aging society.CAn aging society will affect Chinese economy development.DChina will stop developing because of its aging problem.12The passage mainly talks about .
