touch with nature.However，whether you are on the mountains，in the waves，or on the grassland，you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment.Some sports are resource­hungry.Golf，as you may know，eats up not only large areas of countryside，but also tons of water.Besides，all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses(球场) in good condition.This causes major environmental effects.For example，in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain，golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.There are many environment­friendly sports.Power walking is one of them that you could take up today.You don't need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes；and you don't have to worry about resources and your purse.Simple and free，power walking can also keep you fit.If you walk regularly，it will be good for 5your heart and bones.Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious，sleep well and have better weight control.Whatever sport you take up，you can make it greener by using environment­friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials.But the final goal should be “green gyms”They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers.Members of green gyms play sports outdoors，in the countryside or other open spaces.There is no special requirement for you to start your membership.And best of all，it's free.【语篇解读】

normal park with tea rooms，boat rides and a pet's corner.Since then it has grown to become the UK's leading family­run theme park and the fourth most popular theme park in the UK.The park's motto is “Family Run for Family Run”Drayton Manor Theme Park stands in an area of 280 acres and boasts 36 rides in total，including 4 roller coasters and 3 water rides.Within the park is a 15­acre zoo which houses over 100 species of animals.Drayton Manor is proud to be the first in the world for some of its rides.For instance，the Apocalypse is the world's first stand­up tower drop ride and G Force is the world's first X Car Coaster(apart from its original design in Germany)If you fancy a camping holiday at Drayton Manor，there is a 75­pitch camping and caravan(宿营拖车) site with onsite facilities such as toilets，showers(for the disabled，too)，and security.Not only are you situated on the park itself，but you are also close to a large number of other local attractions and facilities.7A day at Drayton Manor is fun for all the family.Unfortunately，there are height restrictions on some of the rides.Children over 1.4 m can ride on all the rides by themselves.Children between 1.4 m and 1 m must be accompanied by an adult to enjoy some rides.There are several rides which children shorter than 1 m are not allowed to ride on.There are numerous places to eat and drink，so you will never need to go hungry.And for the smaller children at Drayton Manor，there is Robinson's Land which had some big events happening in 2010.All in all，Drayton Manor has something for the whole family and is well worth a family day trip this summer.For opening times and ticket prices，check out Drayton Manor Home Page.【语篇解读】 本文主要介绍了一个英国著名的主题公园。12What's the best title for this passage?AThe Zoo at Drayton ManorBA
