     "Our aim is to take our art to the world and make people understand what it is to move," said David
Belle, the founder of parkour(跑酷).
     Do you love running? It is a good exercise, yet many people find it boring. But what if making your
morning jog a creative one? Like jumping from walls and over gaps, and ground rolls? Just like the James Bond in the movie Casino Royale? Bond jumps down from a roof to a windowsill and then runs several
blocks over obstacles on the way. It is just because of Bond's wonderful performances that the sport has
become popular worldwide.
     Yes, that's parkour, an extreme street sport aimed at moving from one point to another as quickly as
possible, getting over all the obstacles in the path using only the abilities of the human body. Parkour is
considered an extreme sport. As its participants dash around a city, they may jump over fences, run up
walls and even move from rooftop to rooftop.
Parkour can be just as exciting and charming as it sounds, but its participants see parkour much more
than that.
     Overcoming all the obstacles on the course and in life is part of the philosophy(理念) behind parkour. This is the same as life. You must determine your destination, go straight, jump over all the barriers as if
in parkour and never fall back from them in your life, to reach the destination successfully. A parkour
lover said, "I love parkour because its philosophy has become my life, my way to do everything."
     Another philosophy we've learnt from parkour is freedom. It can be done by anyone, at any time,
anywhere in the world. It is a kind of expression of trust in yourself that you earn energy and confidence.
1. Parkour has become popular throughout the world because of _____.
A. its founder, David Belle
B. the film, Casino Royale
C. its risks and tricks
D. the varieties of participants
2. The underlined word "obstacles" in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to "_____".
A. streetsB. objects
C. barriersD. roofs
3. Which of the following is true of parkour?

A. It challenges human abilities.
B. It is a good but boring sport.
C. It needs special training.
D. It is a team sport.

4. As its participants move around a city, _____.
A. they can ask for help
B. they may choose to escape
C. they should run to extremes
D. they must learn to

    閱讀理解
         Our children and grandchildren may not have a chance to visit many of the most famous places around
    the world. War, weather, age, traffic and pollution damage these famous places. Looking after these places often costs more than one country can afford.
         In the early 1970s, world governments decided that if they joined together, they would be able to
    preserve our history. If every country paid some money, they said, it would be possible to look after
    important historic places. Also, if they discovered that a monument needed urgent help, they would have
    money for repairs. For these reasons, countries around the world united to form the World Heritage
    Organization in 1972. Today, the organization helps to maintain and restore the most important places from our history.
         However, one of the biggest problems for historic places is vandalism. People sometimes enter the sites and destroy or damage the buildings. At some sites, such as Stonehenge(巨石陣) in England, governments have built high fences to protect the site from vandals.
         There are many different ideas about how to solve the problem of vandalism. Stone experts say that if
    guards patrolled the sites, vandals would not be able to get in. Some experts say that if they fixed more
    television cameras, they would not need so many guards. Other experts say that the best solution is
    education. If people learned to respect history, they would not destroy or damage it. They would also want to spend money looking after old places. For this reason, the World Heritage Organization helps to spread information about the value of historic sites.
    1. According to this passage, ____ is NOT mentioned in Paragraph 1 for the reasons why the famous
    places are damaged?  
    A. people's awareness            
    B. pollution  
    C. war and climate              
    D. traffic
    2. Which of the following shows us the action of vandalism?
    A. Governments build high fences to protect the site from vandals
    B. Guards patrolled the sites and they fixed more television cameras
    C. People enter the sites and cause damage to the buildings
    D. They collect as much money as they can to preserve the buildings
    3. What's the best way to solve the biggest problem of preserving our history?
    A. Every country spends more money looking after these places
    B. To form the World Heritage Organization
    C. Too many guards are needed to prevent vandals getting in
    D. To make people know more about the value of historic sites
