B

Driving a car is more stressful than traveling by bus, according to a new research. A study by Dr David Lewis will be used as a major part of the Greener Journeys campaign. The aim is to persuade motorists up and down the country to abandon their cars for one billion journeys in the next four years — in favor of traveling by bus.

Dr Lewis, from the University of Sussex, conducted an experiment in which the heart rate and EDR (皮肤电反应) of 30 volunteers were measured when taking identical or similar journeys by car as a driver and by bus as a passenger. The results indicated that stress was, on average, 33% lower when traveling by bus.

EDR measures the change in the response of a person’s skin to anxiety or stress. EDR can be a hidden stress. This type of stress can have long-term physical and emotional impacts. Taking a bus can produce long-term benefits.

Dr Lewis said there are three main factors that make driving a car stressful: heavy traffic causes the brain to work harder, traffic jams cause a build-up of anger and there is a sense of frustration that a person is “wasting one’s life” because few things can be done at the same time as driving. The study shows that driving in traffic jams now outweighs (超过) any previous benefits that driving in a private car once gave.

The Greener Journeys campaign will encourage people to get out of their cars and go by bus where it is convenient and realistic to switch. Claire Haigh, a spokesman for Greener Journeys, said the findings might persuade drivers — who were already concerned about CO2 emissions — that traveling by bus had health benefits as well as environmental ones. One fifth of motorists would be prepared to change to public transport for reasons to do with the environment. Just one double-decker bus can take 75 cars off the road, fairly reducing emissions levels.

A. reflects people’s ability in sports        B. isn’t as obvious as anxiety or anger

C. has an immediate effect on health       D. may create long-term benefits

D

They have frightened some and attracted others. They are Wenlock and Mandeville, mascots of the London Olympic Games.

Since both of them have a camera for an eye, they are called one-eyed mascots. Their cameras will capture every great event on their journey to 2012. And they both have a taxi light on their heads, like the world-famous London black cabs. Wenlock’s head shape is meant to represent an Olympic podium and the three medals won in each event. Mandeville’s head features the three Paralympic colors.

Wenlock is the name of the English village considered by many to be the birthplace of the modern Olympics. People think its local games inspired Baron Pierre de Coubertin, who founded the International Olympic Committee.

The other mascot’s name is a reference to the village of Stoke Mandeville, where the Paralympic movement began.

The mascots are a central part of London’s business strategy and will feature in everything from T-shirts to tea towels. No doubt they will be seen under children’s arms as their favorite toys.

The 2012 Committee Chairman, Sebastian Coe, said, “We want them to be part of our fan base. We want them to engage with young people. They have in large part been designed and driven by what young people want.”

Young fans like their mascots to come with a backstory. Children’s author Michael Morpurgo came up with the idea that the mascots origin was from the last drops of molten steel left over from the construction of the Olympic Stadium.

Adults and organizers might argue but the most important audience for Wenlock and Mandeville are children. Ten-year-old Kira, from Essex in England, wrote to the BBC to say: “I think they are lovely! I love the Olympics and so does my sister!”

68. The two mascots are designed to have one eye each to represent _______.

A. a London taxi light                   B. a camera to record great events

C. a medal they will win                 D. the Olympic color

69. One of the mascots is called Wenlock because ________.

A. a famous cartoon figure is called Wenlock

B. it is the name of the village considered to be the birthplace of the modern Olympics

C. the first modern Olympic Games took place in the small village

D. the Paralympic movement began in the small village

70. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The mascots are made from the last drops of molten steel left over from the construction of the Olympic Stadium.

B. The mascots are designed and created by young people.

C. The mascots are mainly designed for the organizers’ business strategy.

D. Ten-year-old Kira liked the two mascots of the London Olympic Games.
