41、ne hour earliertheir increasedtime: early morning, noon, and evening. There were little old ladies in gray sweats, young couples inAdidas shoes, middle-aged menwith red faces. “ Come on! ” My friend Alex encouraged meto joinhim as he jogged by myhouse every evening. “You ll feel great.”Well, I had n

42、othing against feeling great and if Alex could jog every day, anyone could. So I took upjogging seriously and gave it a good two months of my life, and not a day more.

43、 neighborhood jogging army. I m not alone in my opinion.First of all, jogging is very hard on the body. Your legs and feet a real pounding （追擊） ruining downa road for two or three miles. I developed foot, leg, and back problems. Then I read about a nationallyfamous jogger who died of a heart attack

44、while jogging, and I had something else to worry about.Jogging doesn t killhundreds of people, but if you have any physical weaknesses, jogging will surely bring them out, as theydid with me.Secondly, I got no enjoyment out of jogging.

Somejoggers say, “I love being out there withjust my thoughts ” Well, my thoughts began to bore me, and most of them were on how much my legshurt.And how could I enjoy something that brought me pain? And that wasn t just the first week: it waspract

46、ically every day for two months. I never got past the pain level, and pain isn t fun. What a cruelway to do it! So many other exercises,including walking, lead to almost the same results painlessly, so why jog?I don t jog any more, and I don t think I ever will. I m walking two miles three times a w

47、eek at afast pace, and that feels good. I bicycle to work when the weather is good. I m getting exercise, and I m enjoying it at the same time. Icould never say the same for jogging, and I ve found a lot of better ways to stayin shape.52. From the first paragraph, we learn that in the writer s neigh

The underlined word“ them ” （Paragraph 3） most probably refers to _ .A. heart attacks B. Back problems C. famous joggers D. physical w

50、und it neither healthy nor interesting.C. He was afraid of having a heart attack.D. He was worried about being left alone.56.

51、 fitD. jogging makes people feel greater than any other sport.EA simple piece of clothesline hangs between some environmentally friendly Americans and theirneighbors.On one side stand those who see clothes dryers（ 干衣機 ） as a waste of energy and a major polluterof the environment. As a result, they a

52、re turning to clotheslinesas part of the “ what-l - can do environmentalism（環(huán)境保護主義 ）.”O(jiān)n the other side are people who are against drying clothes outside, arguing that clotheslines areunpleasant to look at. They have persuaded HomeownersAssociations（HOAs）access the U.S. to banoutdoor clotheslines, b

53、ecause clothesline drying also tends to lower home value in the neighborhood.This had led to a Right-to-Dry Movement that is calling for laws to be passed to protect people s rightto use clotheslines. So far, only three states have laws to protect clothesline. Right-to-Dry supportersargue that there

54、 should be move.Matt Reck, 37, is the kind of eco-conscious（ 有生態(tài)意識的 ）person who feeds his trees with bathwaterand reuses water drops from his air conditioners to water plants.His family also uses a clothesline. But on July 9, 2007, the HOA in Wake Forest, North Carolina, told himthat a dissatisfied

55、neighlzir had telephoned them about him clothesline. The Recks paid no attention tothe warming and still dried their clothes on a line in the yard. “ Many people say they areenvironmentally friendly but they don t take matters in their own hands,” says Reck. The localHOA hasdecided not to take any a

56、ction, unless more neighbors come to them.North Carolina lawmakers are saying that banning clotheslines is not the right thing to do. But HOAsandhousing businesses believe that clothesline drying reminds people of poor neighborhoods. They worrythat if buyers think their future neighbors cant even af

57、ford dryers, housing prices will fall.Environmentalists say such worries are not necessary, and in view of global warming, that idea needs tochange. As they say,“ The clothesline is beautiful” . Hangingclothes outside should be encouraged. We all have to do at least something to slow down the proces

58、s ofglobal warming.”57.
