From an early age, Ara loved watching the cows in the green fields in her village every day. When she was ten, she asked her parents if they could keep a cow. Her father thought it would take a lot of work and suggested learning about cows from the farmers in the community (社区) first.
The first farm they visited was fantastic, which smelled fresh, like plants and rain. The cows were munching (嚼) on leaves, clean and smiling. They produced (产出) lots of tasty milk. However, the second farm was different. The cows were smelly and covered in dirt. When Ara asked about the milk, the farmers shook their heads.
That night, Ara couldn't fall asleep, wondering what she could do to help the sad cows. Finally, she thought of a plan with her parents. She asked the first farmers if they would help the second farmers, and they agreed. Ara organized (组织)a meeting and the first farmers shared their experience.

Gather together some good friends and take a walk through the streets. This is what many young people in China enjoy doing when they visit a new city. To them, city walk means“hanging around the city"on foot. They often explore(探索) old buildings or small shops, and enjoy a cup of coffee or local(当地的) snacks.
City walk offers them a way to communicate with a city. It also gives them a chance to meet new people. It can be a guided trip for a small group of people or simply a relaxing walk for one or two. They follow one rule: keep away from famous places and big crowds.
In China, the city walk has become popular and has spread from Beijing and Shanghai to smaller citics. Xiao Yiyi is a young woman living in Changsha. Recently she started six city walk trips in different cities. Her plan is to provide (提供) experiences for visitors to“walk in open- air museums".
Her Changsha trip includes(包括) more special sights, such as historical buildings from the19th century and old streets. They even stop to taste the local spicy crayfish(麻辣小龙虾) along the way. Her group is usually made up of about six people. Her events last about half a day.
Some cities, such as Beijing, have included city walks in their plans to help develop cultural tourism. Shanghai has created city walk trips and is trying to help tourists reach much farther places by public transport.
Now, the idea of a city walk is new to most Chinese people. However, people working in the tourist industry believe it has a bright future. Zhang Zhi is a tour guide from Beijing. He said that tourists nowadays are paying more attention to personalized travel services (服务). Many tour guides are also sharing their city walk experiences online to attract(吸引) more customers.

Music helps us exercise, but why does it have this effect(影响) Scientists say there are two main reasons. The first is simple: Music takes our attention away from what we are trying to do. When we listen to a song while exercising, our brain pays attention to the music. For example. after we exercise for 20 minutes, our body might be tired. But we may not feel this right away because we are listening to music. So we exercise a little longer.
Music also motivates us. When we hear dance music, for example, we naturally start to move to the beat(节拍). A joyful song also puts us in a good mood, so we feel happier. This gives us energy and helps us exercise longer. Music with a quick and steady (匀速的) beat is good for exercising. But the music shouldn't be too fast, says scientist Dr. Costa Karagcorghis. Gencrally, songs in the range(范围) of 120-140 beats per minute(BPM) are the best.
A new study by scientist Tom Fritz suggests this is only part of the explanation, however. In an experiment, Fritz put 61 people in small groups. They all then exercised twice. One time, each group worked out while listening to music for six minutes. Another time, they exercised for six minutes on special Jymmin machines. The name Jymmin is a word made up of“jammin” and“gym”. Using these machines, each group made music as they moved. At the end, 53 of the 61 people said the same thing: They felt less tired when they exercised on the Jymmin machines. When they exercise and make music, especially with other people, exercising seems to be easier.
How does Fritz explain this Maybe people did better on the Jymmin machines because they had more control(控制), he says. People created the beat. They could make it go faster or slower. Also, the activity was social. Each group was making music together and having fun. Fritz believes that Jymmin exercise may have other advantages(优势), too. He wants to find out if it can help with some illness. For example, it may even be a good way to treat depression(抑郁).
26. The words“motivates us” in Paragraph 2 probably mean“ ”
A. gives us much hope B. makes us smarter
C. makes us want to exercise D. helps us out of trouble
27. What is a Jymmin machine
A. A tool for listening to music while dancing.
B. A tool to play music and have fun while exercising.
C. A machine for watching music videos while exercising.
D. An exercise machine for creating music while working out.
28. What is the passage mainly about
A. How Jymmin machines work. B. Why music helps people exercise longer.
C. What songs are good for exercise. D. How music helps with some illness.
