React to Difficulties

In life you will constantly be facing challenges, times when it’s tough to feel confident about what will happen in the future. Times like these will have different degrees of intensity and duration. The greater the degree and the longer the duration, the greater the fear and sense of uncertainty will be.

As many of you know, the economy seems to be in a downward spiral right now. Today alone, trillions of dollars are being wiped out in a matter of days. People’s retirement funds are being cut in double digit percentages. Many are facing joblosses in a time when they need income the most. In times like these,it’s a real challenge to have any optimism and confidence that things are going to be better in the near future.

I read an article where a financial expert stated if he went all in with his money today, he’ll be better off six months from today since markets will always rebound, but added he will have many restless nights and will be constantly wondering "what if this time it’s different?"

It’s sometimes difficult to stay positive and motivated to work on your goals especially when all around you there are people so pessimistic about, well, everything in general. People are cutting back on everything. Conversations around the dinner table and water cooler are increasingly about the state of the economy.

Ok, enough negative talk. If you notice, you have some people reacting negatively while others are acting positively. Here’s what makes the difference. You get what you focus on. You can either think about how bad you have it and feel like a victim,or you can use these challenges as a reason to step up and grow from them.

Yes, things look like economy will get worse. The reality, however, really depends on how you look at it and react to this situation.

Like any challenge in life it’s not what actually happens that will determine the outcome it’s what you decide to do about it.

Walking

I live about a half-mile from two gas stations, two miles from Walmart and less than two miles from the mall. These businesses are well within walking distance, but I don’t walk to any of them—I drive. This may seem surprising, but many Americans practice the same habit.

According to the 2010 "National Bicycle and Walking Study" by the U. S. Department of Transportation, 72 percent of trips that are less than three miles in length are made by vehicle. Short distances can be easily traversed by foot rather than by car but only a quarter of Americans are choosing walking or biking as their means of transportation.

A December 2012 study by Gregg L. Furie published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, says that about 25 percent of Americans participate in active transportation. Active transportation is defined as human-powered transportation, such as walking or biking. The results of the study showed that those who participated in active transportation had a lower BMI lower waist circumference, and lower odds of developing hypertension and diabetes.

The "Vital Signs Walking Among Adults" study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention encourages adults to get at least 150 minutes per week of moderate-intensity aerobic activity. However, about half of all adults do not get the recommended amount of exercise, and about one-third reported no physical activity at all The study also showed that walkers were three times more likely to meet the recommended amount of exercise than non-walkers.

In addition to the health benefits associated with active transportation, there are many less obvious benefits as well. The American Automobile Association’s(AAA) annual "Your Driving Costs" study for 2012 revealed that the average annual cost for owning and operating a sedan is $ 8,946. Compared with essentially cost-free foottravel or the $120 annual cost of owning a bicycle, choosing active trans portation saves you money.

Walking is an easily accessible activity that can be done anywhere anytime with anyone. By implementing walking as a primary form of commuting, people can increase their health and decrease their spending. 　　Participating in human-powered transportation also removes some of the stresses of driving from people’s lives. By walking, people can avoid traffic congestion, stop signs, and road rage. Realistically, walking to work could not only be more beneficial, but also more practical than driving.

So, put down the car keys, lace up your walking shoes and prepare yourself for a commute that few choose to experience--walking.

From the first paragraph we can know that(　　)

A.the writer is too lazy to walk to work

B.American people prefer driving to walking in spite of the short distance

C.the writer is very lucky to live not far away from gas stations and shopping malls

D.it is very convenient for the writer to go shopping

12

From the 2010 "National icycle and Walking Study" we can see that. (　　)

A.72% of people prefer to drive cars

B.few people like to travel long distances by cars

C.75 % of people choose driving cars as their means of transportation

D.most people prefer to travel short distances on foot

13

It’s reported that adults don’t do exercises at all. (　　)

A.half

B.one quarter

C.two-thirds

D.one-third

14

Active transportation not only has health benefits, but also (　　)

A.save money

B.lower waist circumference

C.reduces the risks of diabetes

D.save time

15

Walking does great good to people like(　　)

A.removing stresses

B.avoiding traffic jams

C.increasing health and decreasing costs

D.All of the above
