　　四篇文章分别选自TheGuardian (卫报), ScientificAmerican (科学美国人), Huffington Post (赫芬顿邮报)，The Christian Science Monitor( 基督教科学箴言报)。文章的日期分别为2015年7月5日，2016年6月25日，2016年7月1日，2016年6月28日，一般都是近一两年的文章，大多为当年6月或7月份的文章，因此今后在复习的过程中大家也可以多阅读当年中旬各杂志中相对贴近生活的文章，为阅读考试奠定扎实的`基础。

　　Text 1 Parkrun

　　原文本身也仅有558字，删减了一小部分，两处词汇改动后成为阅读理解的Text 1. Parkrun 很流行，网上搜索会发现很多国家都为此建有专门的网站。让我想起近几年各大城市举行的马拉松比赛，有个朋友只要能报上名都会参加，每次都跑完全程，拿到了纪念奖牌，也是一件蛮有意义的事情，至少他的坚持和毅力真得让人佩服。

　　Every Saturday morning,at 9am, more than 50,000 runners set off to run 5km around their local park.The Parkrun phenomenonbegan with a dozen friends and has inspired 400 events in the UK and moreabroad. Events are free, staffed by thousands of volunteers. Runners range fromfour years old to grandparents; their times range from AndrewBaddeley’s world record 13 minutes 48seconds up to an hour.

　　Parkrun is succeeding whereLondon’s Olympic “legacy” is failing. Ten years ago on Monday, it wasannounced that the Games of the XXX Olympiad would be in London. Tony Blair told the InternationalOlympic Committee that London had the power to motivate “millions more youngpeople in Britain and across the world”. Planning documents pledged thatthe great legacy of the Games would be tolever(level) a nation of sport lovers away from their couches. Thepopulation would be fitter, healthier and produce more winners. It has nothappened. The number of adults doing weekly sport did rise, by nearly 2 millionin the run up to 2012 – but the general population was growing faster. Worse,the numbers are now falling at an accelerating rate. The opposition claimsprimary school pupils doing at least two hours of sport a week have nearlyhalved. Obesity has risen among adults and children. Official postmortemscontinue as to why London 2012 failed to “inspire a generation”. The success ofParkrun offers answers.

　　Parkrun is not a race but a timetrial: your only competitor is the clock. The ethos welcomes anybody. There isas much joy over a puffed-out first-timer being clapped over the line as thereis about top talent shining. The Olympic bidders, by contrast, wanted to getmore people doing sport and to produce more elite athletes. The dual aim wasmuddled: the stress on success over taking part was intimidating for newbies(newcomers). Parkrun started with a 5km loop of apark and a watch. The Olympic plans were replete with platitudes, a few tens ofmillions in funding, at least 88 regional and national coordinators, reps andpartnerships, and jargon promising “more accountability for delivery of keytargets”, improvement “mechanisms” and support “based on best practice”. Allthis was well-intentioned, and some money and initiatives meant that somesports clubs did get useful ideas and resources. But bound tomes and managementtiers devised by civil servants have sucked the life out of the aim:galvanising individuals to challenge themselves, get fitter and healthier, andfeel better about themselves.

　　Indeed, there is something alittle absurd in the state getting involved in the planning of such afundamentally “grassroots” concept as community sports associations. If thereis a role for government, it should really be getting involved in providingcommon goods – making sure there is space for playing fields and the money topave tennis and netball courts, and encouraging the provision of all theseactivities in schools. But successive governments have presided over sellinggreen spaces, squeezing money from local authorities and declining attention onsport in education. Instead of wordy, worthy strategies, future governmentsneed to do more to provide the conditions for sport to thrive. Or at least notmake them worse. ThenParkrunners and anybody inspired to cycle to work, try tennis or form aneighbourhood football club can simply get on with doing it.

　　Text2 kids’ screen use

　　这篇文章的主题很显然也是近几年特别热议的一个话题，每对父母肯定都为此感到焦虑。但要知道孩子对screen的依赖一是他们处在这样的一个时代不可避免的，另外父母自身也对孩子造成了很大的影响。这篇文章告诉我们孩子会因为父母沉溺于screen无暇及时给予回应会让孩子陷入极度的不安之中。当然孩子偶尔玩一会也能让父母解放出来去处理一些自己的事情，放松自己。电子产品也并不是猛如虎，只不过父母们要合理使用，正确引导吧!

　　这篇文章本身超级长，所以只把考试选取部分所在的两节挑选出来。为了编辑成为适合考试长度的文章，删减力度还是蛮大的。
