A Color Run at School

What Is a Color Run?

The event is usually a 5K untimed run. Participants are doused （浇涂上） from head to toe in a different colored

powder at each kilometer mark. This activity inspired by the Hindu festival of Holi is perfect for promoting community and

happiness.

A color run is a fun event perfect for schools. As the kids jog through the route, their white T-shirts turn rainbow

colors. It is a way to promote health and activity among children. Schools can choose whether they want to host a color run

by themselves or have one organized by an event organizer.

Why Should I Take Part in a Color Run?

Taking part in a color run will help you improve your overall physical health. It’s a great way to burn calories and get

out. You will also be able to meet new people.

How to Set Up a School Color Run?

To set up a school Color Run, you will first need to decide what time you want it to start. Then, you will need to

contact the principal at your school. They will then tell you if there is enough space available at the named location. You

will need to inform the class teachers and include information in the student handbook. Next, you should contact the

Sonia Denoncourt is one of the most successful celebrities in the world of women’s soccer. She made her name doing

what many still think of as a “man’s job” --refereeing(裁判) soccer matches.

The Canadian began her career as a referee in 1978, at the age of 14. She worked her way up, and in 1994, became the

first female international FIFA referee. Sonia was the first woman to referee a top men’s professional game, in EL Salvador

in 1996. A year later, she became the first female to referee a men’s first division game (甲级队) in Brazil. She has refereed

at thousands of games at all levels, including over 100 international games, three World Cups, and two Olympic Games.

Her goal has always been to encourage more young women to become involved in the game. She accepts that it can be

difficult, but she is sure that progress is possible. “I became a top referee and I’m from Canada, which is not a huge

footballing nation,” she said. “So if I can do it, anyone can. And I wouldn’t change anything about my life because my

career has given me excellent opportunities.”

In 1994, there were only four female referees on FIFA’s list. In 2008, this figure had risen to552--over 18 percent of the

3,000 listed FIFA referees and assistants. She is now Head of FIFA Women’s refereeing and continues to promote the role of

women in soccer. However, there is still a long way to go in the battle for equality in the game.

It is still very unusual to see a female referee at the top international tournaments. Some people say this is because the

women referees aren’t fit enough to work at the highest level. But for Sonia, this is simply an excuse to hide the widespread

opposition to women doing what is considered a “man’s job”. “It’s a social thing,” she says. “In some countries women in

positions of authority are just not accepted.” Even Sonia admits, “Football is still a man’s world.” However, things are

changing, thanks to pioneering women like Sonia.

4．Which of the following can best describe Sonia Denoncourt?

A．Strong and patient. B．Tough and generous. C．Determined and committed. D．Strict but humorous.

5．What can we learn from paragraph 4 about Sonia?

A．She has never been accepted as a referee.

B．She has had a great impact on women’s refereeing.

C．She has won the battle in competing with male referees.

D．She has already considered herself as a leading referee.

6．What made women have difficulty in working as referees according to Sonia?

A．Being unfit. B．A lack of experience.

C．Weak physical power. D．Deep-rooted opposition to women.

7．What is the best title for the text?

A．A Woman Doing a Man’s Job. B．A Woman Having Her Dream.

C．A Woman Bringing about Changes. D．A Woman Involved in International Games.

We truly are what we eat-and what our ancestors ate. Food has changed who we are and how we developed for

hundreds of thousands of years. From processing to preserving to cooking, what humans did and continue to do to food

played a big role in shaping our evolution.

Processed food isn’t just a modern invention, created in factories from artificial ingredients. It is as old as humanity

itself and may have helped create our species. Processing doesn’t necessarily mean adding chemicals-it also includes hitting

or slicing(切片) or changing the food in any way before eating. Compared to our ancestors, modern human teeth, jaws and

faces have gotten smaller relative to overall skull size because of making food easier to chew, especially from cooking.

Processing food also led to a huge gain in leisure time. The less time people spent chewing, the more time they had to

develop complex oral language.

Cooking food was one of the biggest changes in human history. Researchers believe it could have occurred between

1.8 million and 400,000 years ago, Harvard professor Richard Wrangham said, according to National Geographic. Cooking

increases the energy and nutrients we get from food. Without cooking, according to the BBC, an average person would have

to eat around 5 kilos of raw food to survive and we’d have to spend most of the day chewing.

Cooking food also breaks down its cells, so our stomachs need to work less to absorb the nutrients our bodies require.

“This,” said Professor Peter Wheeler from Liverpool John Moores University, UK, “freed up energy which could then be

used to power a larger brain. The increase in brain-size mirrors the reduction in the size of the gut(肠道).”

Processed food literally shaped us as a species and made us human-the only species on Earth who can cook.

8．What can we know about processed food?

A．It is mostly created from artificial ingredients. B．It appears at least since the beginning of human beings.

C．It makes food easier to cook. D．It changes the way we talk.

9．What is the benefit of cooking food to humans?

A．It practices human chewing skills. B．It saves energy for humans to develop brains.

C．It reduces food digestion of humans. D．It costs human more leisure time.

10．What does the underlined word “mirrors” in paragraph 4 mean?

A．Reflects. B．Benefits. C．Influences. D．Functions.

11．What is the main idea of the passage?

A．Humans changes as food decreases. B．Processing food makes who we are today.

C．Cooking food makes where we are today. D．Humans develop gradually as food changes.

According to the IUCN Red List 32, 000 species are threatened with extinction. Although we might be working hard to

help some species come back from the brink (边缘), we might also be eating some threatened species without even realising

it.

Searching industrial fishing records, researchers identified almost 100 endangered species being sold as seafood, and

this is done legally. When sold, these fish are not required to be labelled according to species, so consumers have no way of

knowing what they’re eating, let alone whether they’re endangered or not.

The team stresses that this is only the tip of the iceberg, as they only looked at a specific section of records and
