阅读短文回答问题。     Jolanda Maas, a leader of a research at the Nivel Institute in Utrecht, has reported the result of the study in
the magazine BioIMed Cen,tral Public Health. It says that people who live closest to green areas in the
countryside walk and cycle less often for shor- ter time than other people.
   " We found that there was either no relationship or only a small one between green space and physical
activity," said Maas."People with more green space walk and cycle less often in their spare time."
     People with 20% of green space walked around 250 minutes each week during their spare time compared
to 180 minutes for those with 80% of green space.
   "This may be because people in the countryside need to use their cars more to get to places such as shops,
schools and the doctor"s office," Maas said. Living near green space also makes no difference in whether
people met NHR (全身健民标准) to get 30 minutes of exercise daily, according to a survey (调查) of 5000
people across the Netherlands (荷兰). "
    The study shows when you just look at how much green space people have,
it is not true people are just more physically active," Maas said."This study shows you don"t really need green
space." 1. Is Jolanda Maas the leader of the research?
   __________________________________________2. Who walk less,people with 20% or 80% of green space?
   ___________________________________________3. How do people in the countryside go to shops, schools and the doctor"s?
   ___________________________________________4. How long are people advised to exercise daily?
  ____________________________________________5. What does the writer really want to tell us?

根据短文内容，判断正(T)误(F)。      These two letters appeared in a newspaper. Both writers have their own ideas on zoos.
     Zoos Do a Good Job
     It is good to keep animals in zoos. I know a lot of people think it is wrong to keep animals in zoos.
However, I believe that zoos have many good points.
     Firstly, zoos are places for people to see many different kinds of animals from all over the world. Without
zoos, most people would never see a real bear or tiger.
     Secondly, zoos look after the animals very well. The animals are always given food and cleaned regularly.
In the wild, it is not always possible for an animal to find food, so sometimes it goes hungry. But animals kept
in zoos never go hungry.
     Thirdly,zoos protect the animals. They offer them safety in danger of becoming extinct (灭绝). But zoos
give these animals a chance to live. Without zoos, there would be fewer kinds of animals in the world.
                                                                                                                                      Maria Smith
      Zoos Are Unnatural
      In Maria"s letter, she says that zoos are good for animals. I am afraid that zoos are not good for animals,
and they are only good for people.
      It is unnatural (非自然的)and unfair to keep wild animals in cages. Most animals are kept in cages. They
are too small for them. In the wild, these animals would travel freely. In zoos, they can"t do this. This is why
the bears and tigers always look so sad.
     Most cages are not very clean either. It is true that zoos give the animals food regularly. But this is not
natural. Wild animals are used to looking for their own food. We should treat animals in the same way that
we treat other people with respect.
     Would anyone be happy if you don"t let him go out of his home? Would Maria like to have lots of people
standing outside her flat looking at her? No, she wouldn"t. And animals don"t like it either.
                                                                                                                                 Philip White (     )1. Maria and Philip have quite different ideas on keeping animals in zoos.
(     )2. In Maria"s opinion, a real bear or tiger can only be seen in zoos.
(     )3. Maria thinks that animals live better in zoos than in the wild.
(     )4. According to Philip, if cages are big and clean enough, tigers and bears will look happy.
(     )5. Maria and Philip both agree that zoos are good for people.
(     )6. In the two letters, they are discussing how to make animals in zoos happy.
