9.Many Americans have been leaving their cars at home and riding to work on bicycles.Andy Clark is the leader of the League of American Bicyclists.His group supports bicycling for fun,fitness and transportation.
Clark says this is good news for the environment.He says riding a bicycle to work does not burn fossil fuel (能源) or creates dangerous pollutions.Experts say the effects are the most important on short trips.The Department of Transportation says fifty percent of Americans drive eight kilometers or fewer to work.Shorter car trips set out more pollution into the air for each kilometer drive.This is because the car engine will set out the harmful air when it warms up before it can work well.
James,a member of Congress (國會),is a strong supporter of bicycle use.He says cities,counties,state governments and state highway transportation agencies are planning the roadways of the future.They are creating roads and paths for bicycles in cities and between communities.
Last year,Portland,the Pacific Northwest city in the state of Oregon,had the highest percentage of bicycle users in the United States.Portland has been doing progressive city planning for many years to create special paths for bike riders.

14.Cellphones help us easily find people anywhere at any time.However,using cellphones too often may cause cancer.It's reported that people who used a cellphone for 10years or more were more likely to get brain cancer.
The suggestions below may help you reduce the risk (風險) of cancer:
◆When using your cellphone,try to keep it away from your body as much as possible.Don't put it under your pillow (枕頭)or on a bedside table when you go to sleep.
◆When you're on the cellphone,use the speaker.In this way,you have just 1/100th of the contact(接觸) with radiation you have when you hold it to your ear.An earphone is also a good idea.
◆Try to keep your conversations short.If you need to talk longer,use an ordinary phone instead.
◆Change ears when you're using your cellphone.Before putting it to your ear,wait until the  person you are calling picks up the phone.
◆Your phone gives out radiation when you talk or text (發(fā)短信),but not when you're listening  or getting messages.Listening more and talking less can lower the risk of cancer.
◆Do not use your cellphone when the signal (信號)is weak or when moving at a high speed,for example in a car or train.At high speeds your phone is trying to pick up signals,and this  increases the radiation it gives out.

任務型閱讀:根據短文內容,填寫下列表格.
Healthy tips on cellphone use
☆Try to (81)keep your cellphone away from your body,both when using it and sleeping.
☆Using the speaker or an (82)earphone is a good way to reduce the radiation.
☆Avoid using a cellphone to make (83)long conversations.
☆Don't press the cellphone to your ear until the person you are calling (84)picks up the phone.
☆Listening more and talking(85)less can lower the risk of cancer.
☆Don't use your cellphone when the signal is (86)weak or when moving at a high speed.

1.A Chinese girl,Lin Fang,is 15years old.She prefers eating snacks.She likes cream biscuits,McDonald's hamburgers and KFC chicken.Sometimes she eats two packages of biscuits a day.So she has become overweight.
Today in China,a lot of children like snacks.They don't eat enough healthy food like vegetables and fruit.It's very bad for their health.Poor eating habits are a serious problem.
Health experts say that children should have healthy eating habits.First,they must eat regular meals and begin with a healthy breakfast.Second,they should have different kinds of foods such as fruit,vegetables,grain,eggs,milk and meat.Third,children shouldn't eat too much junk food.Eating junk food too often is bad for their health,though it is delicious.
If children pay attention to these,they won't become overweight.They will be healthier.Students won't become tired at school,and they will feel energetic when they study.
