Mary and her husband Jim had a dog
named Lucky. Lucky was a real character. Whenever
Mary and Jim had
company come for a
weekend visit, they would warn their friends not
to leave their luggage open because Lucky
would help himself to whatever struck
his fancy. Inevitably, someone would forget and
something would come up
missing.
Mary
or
Jim
would
go
to
Lucky
’
s
toy
box
in
the
basement
and
there
the
treasure
would
be,
amid
all
of
Lucky
’
s other
favorite toys. Lucky always stored his finds in
his toy box.
It
happened
that
Mary
found
out
she
had
breast
cancer.
Something
told
her
she
was
going
to
die
of
this
disease. She scheduled the double
mastectomy, fear riding her shoulders.
The night before she was to go to the
hospital she cuddled with Lucky. A thought struck
her-- what would
happen to Lucky?
Although the three-year-old dog liked Jim,
he was Mary’
s dog through
and through.
“
If I die,
Lucky will be
abandoned,
”
Mary thought.
“He won’t understand that I
didn’
t want to leave
him!
”
The thought
made her sadder than thinking of her
own death.
The double
mastectomy was harder on Mary than her doctors had
anticipated and Mary was hospitalized for
over
two
weeks.
Jim
took
Lucky
for
his
evening
walk
faithfully,
but
the
little
dog
just
drooped,
whining
and
miserable.
Finally the day came for Mary to leave
the hospital. When she arrived home, Mary was so
exhausted that she
couldn’
t
even make it up the steps to her bedroom. Jim made
his wife comfortable on the couch and left her to
nap.
Lucky stoo
d
watching Mary but he didn’
t come to her
when she called. It made Mary sad but sleep soon
overcame her and she dozed.
When Ma
ry woke for a second
she couldn’
t unders
tand what
was wrong. She couldn’
t move her head
and her

body felt heavy and hot. But panic soon
gave way to laughter when Mary realized the
problem. She was covered,
literally
blanketed, with every treasure Lucky owned! While
she had slept, the sorrowing dog had made trip
after
trip to the basement bringing his
beloved mistress all his favorite things in life.
He had covered her with his love.

about
dying.

I live about a half-mile from two gas
stations, two miles from Walmart and less than two
miles from the mall.
These
businesses
are
well
within
walking
distance,
but
I
don
’
t
walk
to
any
of
them
—
I
drive.
This
may
seem
2
surprising, but many
Americans practice the same habit.
According to the 2010
“
National Bicycle and
Walking Study
”
by the U.S.
Department of Transportation, 72
percent of trips that are less than
three miles in length are made by vehicle. Short
distances can be easily traversed
by
foot
rather
than
by
car
but
only
a
quarter
of
Americans
are
choosing
walking
or
biking
as
their
means
of
transportation.
A December 2012
study by Gregg L. Furie published in the American
Journal of Preventive Medicine, says
that
about
25
percent
of
Americans
participate
in
active
transportation.
Active
transportation
is
defined
as
human-
powered
transportation,
such
as
walking
or
biking.
The
results
of
the
study
showed
that
those
who
participated in active transportation
had a lower BMI lower waist circumference, and
lower odds of developing
hypertension
and diabetes.
The
“
Vital
Signs
Walking
among
Adults
”
study
by
the
Centers
for
Disease
Control
and
Prevention
encourages adults to get at least 150
minutes per week of moderate-intensity aerobic
activity. However, about half
of all
adults do not get the recommended amount of
exercise, and about one-third reported no physical
activity at
all. The study also showed
that walkers were three times more likely to meet
the recommended amount of exercise
than
non-walkers.
In addition to
the health benefits associated with active
transportation, there are many less obvious
benefits
as well. The American
Automobile Association
’
s
(AAA) annual
“
Your Driving
Costs
”
study for 2012
revealed
that the average annual cost
for owning and operating a sedan is $$ 8,946.
Compared with essentially cost-free foot
travel or the $$120 annual cost of
owning a bicycle, choosing active transportation
saves your money.
Walking is an easily accessible
activity that can be done anywhere anytime with
anyone. By implementing
walking
as
a
primary
form
of
commuting,
people
can
increase
their
health
and
decrease
their
spending.
Participating in
human-powered transportation also removes some of
the stresses of driving from
people
’
s lives.
By walking, people can avoid traffic
congestion, stop signs, and road rage.
Realistically, walking to work could
not only be more beneficial, but also
more practical than driving.
So, put down the car keys, lace up your
walking shoes and prepare yourself for a commute
that few choose
to experience--walking.
11. From the first paragraph we can
know that___b___
A. the writer is too
lazy to walk to work
B. American people
prefer driving to walking in spite of the short
distance
C. the writer is very lucky to
live not far away from gas stations and shopping
malls
D. it is very convenient for the
writer to go shopping
12. From the 2010
“
National bicycle and
Walking Study
”
we can see
that. ___c___
A. 72% of people prefer
to drive cars
B. few people like to
travel long distances by cars
C. 75 %
of people choose driving cars as their means of
transportation
