Exercise is one of the few factors with a positive role in long-term maintenance of body weight. Unfortunately, that message has not gotten through to the average American, who would rather try switching to “light” beer and low-calorie bread than increase physical exertion. Doctors found that less than one-fourth of overweight adults who were trying to reduce weight said they were combining exercise with their diet. Still, exercise’s supporting role in weight reduction is necessary. A study confirmed that those who dieted without exercise regained almost all their old weight, while those who worked exercise into their daily routine maintained their new weight. If you have been sedentary and decide to start walking one mile a day, the added exercise could burn an extra 100 calories daily. In a year time, assuming no increase in food intake, you could lose ten pounds. By increasing the distance of your walks gradually and making other dietary adjustments, you may lose even more weight.
1).
According to the passage, what is the advantage of exercise mentioned by the author?( )
A、
It can help you keep good health.
B、
It can help you maintain body weight.
C、
It can help you get rid of illness.
D、
It can help you find a good job.

CHICAGO (AP) On Jan. 1, an order went into effect requiring that every checked bag at more than 400 of the nation's commercial airports be screened（扫描检查）for bombs and weapons.
Sunday was expected to be the heaviest travel day since Jan. 1. Yet spot checks on Sunday at several of the nation's airports showed no major delays caused by the new security measures.
At the international terminal for Northwest Airlines at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York, passengers waited up to 30 minutes longer than usual. Their bags were sent through giant screening machines and workers tore open taped boxes and searched through their contents before closing them up again.
Most travelers simply accepted stricter screening developed since the terrorist（恐怖分子）attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, before which only 5 percent of the roughly 2 million bags checked each day were screened for bombs.
The U.S. government has put an additional 23,000 people into airports to carry out the new order.
Sonny Salgatar, a 23-year-old college student flying home to San Diego from Chicago, was told by an airport officer after the first pass that one of his bags was "hot", meaning there was something he couldn't identify and he wanted to open the bag for an inspection.
The "hot" item turned out to be Salgatar's clothing iron.
"Listen, anything they want to do for security is OK for me," Salgatar said.
1).
The new measure was adopted to guard against ____.
A、
terrorist attacks
B、
luggage damage
C、
flight delays
D、
air crash

It was not yet eleven o’clock when a boat crossed the river with a single passenger. While the youth stood on the landing-place searching in his pockets for money, the boatman lifted a lantern. By the newly risen moon, he took a very careful look at the stranger's appearance. He was a young man of eighteen years with brown, curly hair, well-shaped features. His bright, cheerful eyes were nature's gifts, and worth all that art could have done for his adornment ( 装饰 ). And now, as it seemed, he was on his first visit to town. He was wearing a rough gray coat, which was in good shape, but which had seen many winters before this one. In his left hand was a walking stick, and a leather bag in his right hand. The bag seemed not so much stocked. The youth, whose name was Robin, paid the boatman, and then walked forward into the town with a light step, as if he had not already traveled more than thirty miles that day. As he walked, he surveyed his surroundings as eagerly as if he were entering London or Madrid, instead of the little metropolis ( 中心城市 ) of a New England colony
