Despite its ambitious name, the event was limited almost entirely to Italy, where the couple arranged a number of events: a reverse bicycle race in which the last rider was declared the winner; an afternoon of grandfathers reading poetry to children, etc. One Monday in late February, 2008, the couple staged a New York version of the Day of Slow Living. It has to be a Monday, the worst day to try to slow down. Bruno explained. Bruno was wearing a police cap, mirrored sunglasses, and a sandwich board stating, Caution! Speed-walking camera is in action! He flagged down passers-by and handed them postcards printed with fourteen slowmandments. For example, No.4: Write your text message on your cell phone with no symbols and get in the habit of starting with Dear No.7: Avoid being so busy that you dont have time for yourself. Bruno told the passers-by to read them once a day and keep the doctor away. Many said, I cant do this. New York is too fast. Bruno admitted. But many stopped, they read and said. This one is good for me, because trying to slow down is like trying to stop smoking. When asked about their plans for the future.

The couple tend to choose busy cities to promote the idea. New Yorkers have a negative attitude towards slow living. 20.D Can you imagine a catfish bigger than a boy? There are more than 1,000 kinds of catfish; 28 species are found in the United States lakes and rivers. This huge family has some mighty strange members. Lets meet a few. Walking catfish. Natures feisty little catfish, found in southern Florida, has an extra lung for breathing on dry land. When its swimming hole dries up, the walking catfish waddles on stiff forward fins in search of another lake or stream. If an enemy attacks, the fish flares（展开）its top and front fins and leaps at the attacker to scare it off. Armored catfish. This catfish has heavy, bony plates protecting its body. The shell makes the fish difficult to bone. To cook it, throw the fish whole into a fire. When it is done, break it open for eating. Some armored catfish are found in Florida, but the 100-pounders live in South America. Rounding out the family of strange catfish are talking catfish, which make growing sound when you pull them from the water; climbing catfish, which move quickly up shore brush in search of food; electric catfish, which can deliver a mild shock; and blind catfish, which settle in the inky blackness of underwater caves. Blind catfish find food through taste buds in their eight whiskers（须）. Most catfish have four whiskers on the upper jaw and four on the lower jaw. Sensory holes on these whiskers help the fish smell and taste food even in the muddiest of water. The United States does not have catfish anywhere near the size of those in South America. But in some large U.S. rivers, blue and flathead catties do top 100 pounds. 七选五 爱智康 （1） The purpose of the passage is to . A. B. C.
