Secondary school teachers said that older teenagers were especially likely to miss out, because the time spent on physical education for 1416 yearolds had fallen in the past five years. Teachers said that increased pressure to produce exam results was leading to children being pulled out of PE lessons. One in three said exam pressures were behind the decline, and they said subjects such as English and Maths had been given more time at the cost of PE. Almost all of the teachers from the 487 schools said PE should be more valued for its advantages to young people. Mental health experts also warned that cutting down on exercise could increase children39。s mental health problems. Cal Strode, spokesman for the Mental Health Foundation, said cutting PE time would be shortsighted and dangerous. He said, It is worrying to hear that PE is being cut at a time when students are facing problems with stress and anxiety in increasing numbers. There39。s a close relationship between mental and physical health. Tom Madders, director of campaigns at charity Young Minds, said, Schools39。 cutting down on physical education because of exam pressures is worrying. Schools that value health also do better in study, so it makes sense to keep good health, rather than putting children under more pressure. Rising exam stress has been raised as a problem by experts who warn that children are under greater pressure because of a petitive jobs market. Ali Oliver, an expert, said, The PE is good for physical and mental health. So cutting down physical education time is depriving young people of these advantages at a time when they need them most.（1）What do we know about the text?

John was so busy with his work that he couldn39。t go back home. When he passed by a flower shop in the evening, an idea came to his mind, I39。ll send mom some roses（玫瑰）.While John was picking his flowers, a young man went inside. How many roses can I get for only five dollars, Madam? he asked. The assistant（店員） was trying to tell him roses were as expensive as forty dollars a dozen（一打）. Maybe he would be happy with carnations（康乃馨）. No, I have to have red roses, he said. My mom was badly ill last year and I didn39。t get to spend much time with her. Now I want to get something special, it has to be roses, for roses are her favorite. After hearing it, John said he would pay the rest of the money for the young man. Moved by both of them, the assistant said, Well, lovely young men, thirty dollars a dozen, only for you. Taking the roses, the young man almost jumped into the air and ran out of the shop. It was well worth twentyfive dollars that John paid to see the exciting moment. Then John paid for his dozen of roses and told the assistant to send them to his mother. As he walked out, he felt nice. Suddenly he saw the young man crossing the street and going into a park. But soon John realized it was not a park but a cemetery（墓地）. Crying, the young man carefully put down the roses, Mom, oh, Mom, why didn39。t I tell you how much I loved you? God, please help me find my mom and tell her I love her. Seeing this, John turned and quickly walked to the shop. He would take the flowers home himself.（1）John spent altogether（總共） in the flower shop that day. A.$5B.$25160
