Part Ⅱ 阅读理解
阅读下面短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中选出最佳选项。
A small study in a coastal town asked 240 pupils a simple question: do you walk or cycle to school, or are you driven? Researchers then tested how well each child could focus in the first lesson. The results were modest but steady. Children who travelled under their own power — on foot or by bike — settled into class a little faster and made fewer careless mistakes on a short memory task.
The difference was not huge. No one is saying a scooter will turn a C student into an A student. But the finding fits a larger pattern. Movement, even a gentle ten-minute walk, wakes up the body and clears the head before the school day begins. Children who arrive by car often step straight from a seat into another seat, with no gap in between.
The researchers were careful to note that not every family can choose. Rain, distance and safety all matter, and some children live too far to walk. The point, they said, is not to blame parents but to notice the small wins: a parked car a few streets away, or a walk with a friend, can be enough.
Schools in the town have since painted footprints on the pavement leading to the gate, a quiet nudge toward happier, calmer mornings.
1. What did the study mainly find?
A. Walking to school improves focus a little.
B. Children driven by car get better grades.
C. Cycling to school is dangerous.
D. Memory tasks are too hard for pupils.
2. What does "settled into class" mean in the text?
A. Sat at the back of the room.
B. Became calm and ready to learn.
C. Finished the homework early.
D. Arrived after the lesson started.
3. Why were the researchers careful in their conclusion?
A. The study was too small to trust at all.
B. Not every family can choose to walk.
C. They did not like cars or buses.
D. The children refused to join in.
4. What did schools do after the study?
A. Banned all cars near the school.
B. Painted footprints on the way to the gate.
C. Gave a bike to every pupil.
D. Made the lessons much shorter.
