Do you love running? It is a good exercise, yet many people find it boring. But what if making your morning jog a creative one? Like jumping from walls and over gaps, and ground rolls? Just like James Bond in the movie Casino Royale? Bond jumps down from a roof to a windowsill (窗臺(tái)) and then runs several blocks over obstacles (障礙物) on the way. It is just because of Bonds wonderful performances that the sport has become popular worldwide.
Yes, thats Parkour, an extreme street sport aimed at moving from one point to another as quickly as possible, getting over all the obstacles in the path using only the abilities of the human body. Parkour is considered an extreme sport. As its participants dash (飛奔) around a city, they may jump over fences, run up walls and even move from rooftop to rooftop.
Parkour can be just as exciting and charming as it sounds, but its participants see Parkour much more than that.
Overcoming all the obstacles on the course and in life is part of the philosophy behind Parkour. This is the same as life. You must determine your destination, go straight, and jump over all the barriers as if in Parkour and never fall back from them in your life to reach the destination successfully. A Parkour lover said, “I love Parkour because its philosophy has become my life, my way to do everything.”
Another philosophy weve learnt from Parkour is freedom. It can be done by anyone, at any time and anywhere in the world. It is a kind of expression of trust in yourself that you earn energy and confidence.

C. Where we can do Parkour. D. How Parkour does us good.

While car-sharing is a concept (概念) thats catching on, old-fashioned carpooling where a group of people take turns driving each other to work has always faced a resistance (抗拒). In a study on traffic problems by ABC News, 84% of those who drive to work say that they still do it alone. More than half of those lone riders insist that carpooling is just too inconvenient, and 18% say they simply dont know anyone to share a ride with.
Now technology makes carpooling easier and more fun. NuRide, a company which provided an online carpooling service last year, offers daily travelers in the Washington area not just a web-based list of would-be carpoolers but also a way to arrange a trip online. Heres how it works: rider seekers enter the positions where their trip will begin and end, the time they want to leave and if theyre willing to drive or just ride in someone elses car. The websites search engine then looks for matches and makes lists of the names of traveling companions, along with the car model and the exact time and place to meet for each trip. People who want to share the ride can show their interest in joining in online and then meet their car mates when its time to go.
NuRide users arent riding with total strangers. They are required to provide the name of their employer and a work e-mail address, both of which need to be checked before being listed on the website.
To attract users, NuRide offers a frequent rider prize: anyone who shares a ride gets a $1 credit. So far, 2,300 people have signed up. NuRide CEO Rick Steele said that more than 50,000 rides have been arranged on the website, resulting in 1.4 million fewer miles driven and 650 fewer tons of automobile emissions (機(jī)動(dòng)車(chē)排放).
32. What is the drivers opinion about carpooling according to the study?
A. 18% of them dont know it. B. Many think it is inconvenient.
C. 84% of them accept it. D. Some consider it dangerous.
33. What can NuRide do for its users?
A. Decide car models for them. B. Give them a list of car owners.
C. Help them arrange a shared car trip. D. Find out their car mates true names.
34. What information does a NuRide user need to provide?
A. His age. B. His hobbies.
C. His home address. D. His employers name.
35. It can be inferred that NuRide is helpful in ___ .
A. improving air quality B. promoting driving safety
C. increasing job opportunities D. making people know each other
