pieces. she is often called the mother of modern dance.earlier in her life, however, martha did not know that she would become a dancer. at that time, the dancers were looked down on. so marthas parents didnt approve of her desire to dance at the beginning. until 1916, she began her studies at the newly created denishawn school of dancing and related arts, e founded by ruth st. denis and ted shawn, where graham worked very hard to improve her ability to dance because she was considered too old to begin dancing.in 1936, graham made her defining work, chronicle, which signaled the beginning of a new era in modern dance. the dance brought serious issues to the stage for the general public in a dramatic manner. influenced by the wall street crash of 1929, the great depression that followed, and the spanish civil war, it focused on depression and isolation, reflected in the dark nature of both the set and costumes.graham continued to dance past the age of seventy. once again,

redlands university in california. he studies ecological literacyor ecoliteracy , for short. ecoliteracy is the ability to think about and understand the natural processes that make life possible.monty hempel says ecoliteracy gives people knowledge about environmental problems. but he says it does not always work to get them to change their behavior.mr. hempel wrote part of the worldwatch institutes latest state of the world report. he says in his article, some people think that ecoliteracy is just a green form of science literacy. and what i have tried to ask is whether thats enough. in other words, what an ecologically-literate person needs to know might include things like the cycles and the flows, the energy systems, all of those kind of things that we would call the science of ecology. that doesnt seem to lead to action to protect our environmentto protect our life-support system to the level that we need to. just because we know a lot about the environment doesnt mean that we actually act to save it. after all, actions speak louder than knowledge. he adds that people may not be very worried about environmental problems if they seem far away. some people call it psychological distance. a lot of climate issues are worse in the arctic and most of us dont spend time in the arctic. and so, theres a certain distance. but theres also a distance thats happening in the world as it urbanizespeople spending more time in front of screens and less time out in nature. we become, if you will, disconnected from the natural systems that used to be the key to success for a human being. to help children discover the wonders of nature, he adds that children should learn about nature in school. but he also points out we have a high mountain for people to climb from knowledge to action.28. from what monty hempel says in paragraph 3, we learn that .a. knowledge on environment protection is not enoughb. knowledge that children learn at school is uselessc. ecoliteracy can help people understand how nature worksd. people with enough knowledge will protect the environment well 29. what is especially important for environment protection in mr. hempels opinion?a. knowledge. b. action.c. green living. d. psychological distance.30. mr. hempel thinks people show no concern about some environmental problems because _. a. they lack knowledge on environment protectionb. they have no awareness of environment protectionc. some environmental problems are not worse at alld. some environmental problems happened far away31. what can be inferred from the last paragraph? a. experts think it is the best way to learn nature in school.b. climbing a high mountain is a good way to exercise well.c. climbing peoples attitude to environment protection is hard.d. knowledge can help children take action to protect the environment.dthe human body is designed to move. but modern lifestyles and office jobs rarely give us the chance to move around. as we know. were while were eating; we sit in the car and we sit while we watch tv. and many of us sit for many hours at work.new research shows that sitting less than three hours a day might extend your life by two years. peter katzmarzyk, a scientist at the university of louisiana in the southern united states, says that sitting is i ubiquitous in our lives, meaning it is something we do all the time, everywhere.however, mr. katzmarzyk says that does not mean you can sit for the rest of your waking hours. he also says you may exercise often, we cant throw away physical activity. its extremely important. we have 60 years of research showing us that. mr. katzmarzyk and his coi leagues are part of a new generation of researchers studying how sitting all day affects length of life. studies that have assessed the relationship between sitting and mortality （死亡率）or television viewing and mortality are very rare. theres only been a few of them, actually five or six now, in the last four or five years. they found that cutting television time to less than two hours a day could add one-point four years to life.luckily, change is already coming to some offices, especially in the design of desks. a standing desk lets people stand while they work. another new design is called the treadmill desk. a treadmill is an exercise machine that lets you walk in one place. even some u. s. schools are beginning to experiment with desks that are part bicycle to keep children moving. thats one of the strategies that many companies are using now. mr. katzmarzyk also says studying this problem has inspired his team to make a few changes in their own lives.32. the underlined word ubiquitous is closest in meaning to _.a. dangerous b. awkward c. comfortable d. common33. which view agrees with the opinion of mr. katzmarzyk?a. sitting too long may help increase ones life.b. exercise is important and dont sit too long.c. watching tv is bad, but can broaden ones horizons. d. stopping watching tv is a necessary but hard task.34. what does mr. katzmarzyk think of his study in paragraph 4? a. its a relatively new area of study. b. its a hot subject studied by experts. c. its a study that begins too late. d. its not ignored by many experts.35. why are the desks of all kinds designed for those who sit more?a- to give them more comfort. b. to improve their work efficiency. c. to offer them the
