22、On James Owen’s 70th birthday, he saw a video of himself walking with difficulty up to the stage where he was giving a talk. “I looked like an old man,” says Owen, who built a successful career on Wall Street.
He was about 25 pounds overweight and had chronic trouble with his back, knees, and shoulders. But instead of giving in to age, Owen decided to set an ambitious five-year goal: He wanted to be pain-free, and he decided the way to get there was through exercise — even though at the time he couldn’t do a single push-up.
Owen began his new exercise regimen (养生计划) by walking, though he became out of breath after five minutes. But that didn’t discourage him. He kept at the walks every day, along with some stretching. Once he had those basics done, he started weight lifting and hired a personal trainer to teach him and to design a routine he could follow on his own. The last piece was finding other activities he enjoyed, which turned out to be cycling and swimming.
In less than five years, Owen was able to do three sets of 50 push-ups each and walk for miles each day. And yes, he was free of aches and pains.
Owen used his experience to write a book called Just Move! A New Approach to Fitness After 50, in which he details how older adults can safely get off the couch and add more movement to their lives. The key: getting started, even if you walk just three blocks, which was all he could manage at first. “Think of it as movement, not exercise,” he says. “The key is slow and steady progress.”
Now 81 and retired, Owen exercises an hour a day, six days a week. “It is the best investment I’ve ever made in my life,” he says.
【1】Why did Owen make up his mind to do exercise?
A.To celebrate his 70th birthday.

A.The exercise he preferred to do.
B.The routine his trainer designed for him.
C.The difficulty he met during exercise.
D.The process he undertook to keep fit.
【3】What advice did Owen give to the people after 50 in his book?
A.They should invest on Wall Street.
B.They should only do some slow exercise.
C.They should do exercise step by step.
D.They should exercise an hour a day
【4】what does the underline word “investment” in the last paragraph mean?

24、When Shakespeare was twenty-one, he went to London to try his fortune in that great city, and a very interesting place was the London of his day.
There was the famous London Bridge and St. Paul’s Cathedral, and palaces and markets and long streets full of shops.
Then, too, there were the daily crowds where people from all over the world could be seen. Knights,scholars and the highwayman (拦路强盗)or thief,who had been infamous for his clever robberies, passed by each other. Here, also, were noblemen dressed in gold, from Italy and Spain and France; slaves from Spanish America, sea captains and ministers, soldiers and servants—all held by chance or interest within the gray walls which circled London, and whose gates gave welcome to as strange a crowd as could be found in the world.
Into this curious crowd came Shakespeare, quick to see and eager to learn. And before long all these strange sights were as familiar to him as the faces of his own town’s residents. Each one told its story to him so plainly that, as before he had learned the secrets of the fields and woods, so now he learned men and men’s interests that make up the great world.
And he learned these lessons so well that when he came to write his plays, he made such use of them as no writer ever made before or since; for it is the use of this knowledge of the world, combined with his own genius, that makes Shakespeare the greatest dramatist that has ever lived.
【1】Which of the following best describes Shakespeare?
A.Shakespeare got inspiration to write from his hometown, London.
B.Shakespeare was eager to make friends with the noblemen in London.
C.Shakespeare became the greatest dramatist owing to his own genius.
D.Shakespeare was good at observing and learning from the daily life.
