In his childhood, Lindbergh showed unusual mechanical ability. At the age of 18, he entered the University of Wisconsin to study engineering. However, Lindbergh was more interested in the exciting, young field of air travel than he was in school. After two years, he left school to become a pilot performing dangerous tricks.Lindbergh made the first nonstop flight alone across the Atlantic Ocean on May 2021, 1927. Other pilots had crossed the Atlantic before him. But Lindbergh was the first person to do it alone nonstop. Lindberghs unusual action gained him immediate, international fame. The press named him “Lucky Lindy” and the “Lone Eagle. Americans and Europeans admired the shy, slim young man and gave him a lot of honors.After the flight，Lindbergh published We ，a book about his flight. The title referred to Lindbergh and his plane. Then, he flew throughout the United States to make speeches to encourage air travel on behalf of the Daniel Guggenheim Fund for the Promotion of Aeronautics (航空学)Lindbergh learned about the pioneer rocket research of Robert HGoddard, a Clark University physics professor. Lindbergh persuaded the Guggenheim family to support Goddards experiments, which later led to the development of missiles, satellites, and space travel.Before Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, Lindbergh took part in the activities against American involvement (参与) in World War .

DAdviser.C Walking is so simple and convenient that it couldnt possibly count as exercise, right? WrongStudy after study shows that regular walking can help you lose weight and reduce your risk of heart disease The study published in Diabetes Research in Clinical Practice shows that the blood pressure of the overweight men being tested improved and the amount of body fat greatly decreased Thats good news, because walking has now become the most popular fitness activity in the United StatesConvenient, simple, and gentle on the joints, walking is perhaps the easiest form of exercise to maintainAccording to a survey, four out of five women who start a walking program continue to walk, while half of women who attempt other types of aerobic exercise(有氧运动), such as swimming, drop out during the first few months Here are some basics for walking exercise Walk at a pace that makes you breathe heavily, but still able to talk Your goal, first and foremost, is to walk five days a week, 30 minutes a walkDo that, and you are getting the base-level amount of exercise that research says should maintain your health and energy Walk for as long as you are comfortable the first week, even if it is just to your mailbox and back.Each following week, increase that amount by no more than 10 percent Start every walk with five minutes of easy-paced walking, about the same pace at which you do shopping, to get your body warmed up.Then, cool down at the end of each walk with another five minutes of easy-paced walkingThis allows your heart rate to gradually speed up and slow down28.

B.Walking for ExerciseC.Different Ways of Exercise D.Is Walking a Type of Exercise?D Two of the saddest words in the English language are“if only”. I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words, because they express regret, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment. My father is famous in our family for saying, “Take the extra minute to do it right”. I always try to live by the “ extra minute” rule. When my children were young and likely to cause accidents, I always thought about what I could do to avoid an “if only” moment，whether it was something minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding (衬垫)onto the sharp comers of a glass coffee table. I dont only avoid those “if only” moments when it comes to safety. Its equally important to avoid “if only” in our personal relationships. We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they had foregonean opportunity to say “I love you” or “I forgive you” . When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday，I told him that it was a holiday for my company and I wouldnt be here. But then I thought about the fact that he 84 years old and I realized that I shouldnt give up an opportunity to see him. I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all. I know there will still be occasions when I have to say “if only” about something, but my life is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that possibility. And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right, or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection, I know that Im doing the right thing. Im buying myself peace of mind and thats the best kind of insurance for my emotional happiness.32. Which of the following is an example of the extra minute rule? A. Start the car the moment everyone is seated. B. Leave the room for a minute with the iron working. C. Wait for an extra minute so that the steak tastes better. D. Move an object out of the way before it trips someone.33.The author decided to go to her office on Good Friday to A. keep her appointment with the eye doctor B. meet her father who was already an old man. C. join in the holiday celebration of the company D. finish her work before the deadline approached.34.The underlined word foregone in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to A. abandoned B. lacked C. avoided D. wasted35.What is the authors attitude to the words if only? A. Positive B. Negative C. Doubtful D.
