Walk'n Roll to School Day
The School District of Pittsfield, together with the help of many local volunteers, has coordinated Pittsfield's first Walk'n Roll to School Day on October 5. On October 5, children and their parents are encouraged to walk, jog and ride their bicycles to school. This event was created in response to a growing trend in childhood weight related health problems, and to recognize that we all care about the health of our children and the health of our community.
As part of the event, an all-day educational festival will take place at the Darrow Elementary School, focusing on how walking and bicycling to school can improve children's health, and provide numerous other benefits to the community. We will need several volunteers to make this event come off smoothly. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Melissa Thompson at direct line: (352) 643-0129 or fax: (352) 643-0135. You can also stop by her office (located in the administrative office suite) at the Darrow Elementary School.
Dear Melissa,
I just called to talk to you about the Walk'n Roll to School Day, but you were not in the office. I am really excited at the event and am happy to volunteer in whatever capacity you need. I have noticed among my son's friends, that many of them could use some additional exercise. I believe that weight-related problems in children come from not playing outside, and not only from diet. I am so glad the school district has come up with this fun way to encourage walking to school.
You can call me at (352) 728-1100. If I am not in, let me know if there is a good time this week I could stop by to talk to you about this. My son is a fifth grader at Darrow, and I'll be here every day this week to drop him off and pick him up.
Hope to talk to you soon,
Danielle Schroeder

听力原文: In America, self-improvement is a national pastime. Every year, more and more Americans spend their leisure time trying to improve themselves one way or another.
One popular form. of self-improvement is the search for physical fitness. Thousands of Americans who never exercised are now out on the streets jogging in fashionable running suits and expensive gym shoes. They boast of how many miles they nm each day and of how many pounds they lose each week. Others are turning to swimming, tennis, dance and the martial arts to improve their physical fitness.
Instead of running around the park in the morning or evening, other Americans are studying yoga or meditating quietly in their homes. They are seeking to improve themselves by finding peace and quiet.
Adult education is another form. of self-improvement. After a hard day's work, many Americans take evening courses at a kraal high school or a community college. There they can study a variety of subjects. Often these people am preparing to return to the job market or trying to qualify themselves for better jobs. For example, a mother busy raising her children might attend a night school to learn secretarial skills. A secretary might return to study accounting. Some retired people may go back for the education they missed at an earlier age.

To be sure, only children experience some things differently from those with siblings (兄弟姐妹 ). Many feel more pressure to succeed. In the absence of brothers and sisters, only children are also likely to look more exclusively to their parents as role models.
In India, 19-year-old Saviraj Sankpal founded a support group for the tiny number of only children. Among other things, the group does volunteer work to be against the myth (神话) that they're irresponsible (不负责任的). "People think we're pampered (娇惯) and spoiled," says Sankpal, a computer engineering student. "But I'd like to remind them how lonely it can get."
Most only children, however, say they wish for siblings only when it comes to caring for aging, unhealthy parents. Britain's David Emerson, coauthor of the book, The Only Child, says that such a person bears terrible burden in having to make all the decisions alone. Emerson knows from experience: After his father died, he chose to move his elderly mother from their family home, where she was vulnerable (易受攻击的) to house breakers, to a new one with more safety, "The move was quite hard on her, and she might feel that I pushed her into it," he says. "Finally, I am left with that responsibility,"
In the future, more and more only children will likely face similar choices. With working mothers increasing, many families are finding they simply don't have the time, money or energy'to have more than one child. As only children become common, perhaps the world will realize that the accusation (指责) made against them is unfair.
It can be inferred from the passage that only children's parents should______.
A.found a support group for their only children
B.do volunteer work to help their only children
C.let their only children make all the decisions alone
D.set good examples for their only children
Study the following abbreviated essay outline. Then choose the most appropriate concluding paragraph. When computing technology is making an ever-increasing impact on many aspects of the production and life of mankind, computers have been widely applied in almost every field. However, the question of whether there are more benefits than drawbacks for young children using a computer everyday has triggered a wide debate. As far as I am concerned, I tend to believe that the advantages outweigh disadvantages for the following reasons. For one thing, in modern society, computer is used in many different fields such as health, education and business. It has become an indispensable part in our life… For another thing, some computer knowledge is required for the job, so great importance should be attached to it. Some people consider that it is not good for children to use computer everyday, because sitting in front of a screen for too long can damage both the eyes and the physical posture of young children. But we can cope with this problem by limiting the time of using computers and giving proper supervision for them… ...
A、Although, to some extent, computers have brought people great convenience in getting information, entertainment and contact with others, especially for those businessmen, for those youngsters, typically those teenagers who are not rational enough to control themselves, computers should not be allowed to intrude into their daily life.
B、All in all, everything has two sides. Whether computers will do us good or harm all depend on how we use them.
C、In conclusion, I strongly believe that using computer everyday brings more benefits than drawbacks to young children. The most important aspect depends on that the young children need proper guidance.
D、To sum up, computers benefit young children a lot and also bring about some negative influence on children.
