USA Today is a national American daily newspaper published by the Gannett Company. It was set up by Alten“AL”Neuharth in 1982 with the goal of providing a national newspapers in the US market, where generally only a single local newspaper was available. The paper has the widest circulation(发行量)of any newspaper in the US, averaging over 2.5 million copies every weekday. It was the first color newspaper in the US.
The newspaper was also among the first newspapers to use satellites to send the final edition of the newspaper to different locations across the country for printing and final distribution in those regional markets. This allowed the paper to include the most recent news and sports scores in each edition.
Each edition of the newspaper consists of four sections: News, Money, Sports and Life. On Fridays, two Life sections are included: the regular life for movies subtitled Weekend, which features television, films and trends, and a travel supplement called Destinations & Diversions.

USA Today prints each complete story on the front page of the respective(各自的) section with exception to the cover story.

People aren’t walking any more---if they can figure out a way to avoid it.
I felt superior about this matter until  the other day I took my car to mail a small parcel. The journey is a matter of 281 steps. But I used the car. And I wasn’t in ay hurry, either, I had merely become one more victim of a national sickness: motorosis.
It is an illness to which I had thought myself immune(), for I was bred in the tradition of going to places on my own two legs. At that time, we regarded 25 miles as good day’s walk and the ability to cover such a distance in ten hours as sign of strength and skill. It did not occur to us that walking was a hardship. And the effect was lasting. When I was 45 years old I raced –and beat—a teenage football player the 168 steps up the Stature of Liberty.
Such enterprises today are regarded by many middle-aged persons as bad for the heart. But a well-known British physician, Sir Adolphe Abrhams, pointed out recently that hearts and bodies need proper…… is more likely to have illnesses than one who exercises regularly. And walking is an ideal form of exercise--- the most familiar and natural of all.
It was Henry Thoreau who showed mankind the richness of going on foot. The man walking can learn the  trees, flower, insects, birds and animals, the significance of seasons, the very feel of himself as a living creature in a living world, He cannot learn in a car.
The car is a convenient means of transport, but we have made it our way of life. Many people don’t dare to approach Nature any more; to them the world they were born to enjoy is all threat. To them security is a steel river thundering on a concrete road. And much of their thinking takes place while waiting for the traffic light to turn green.
I say that the green of forests is the mind’s best light. And none but the man on foot can evaluate what is basic and everlasting.
28.What is the national sickness?
A．Walking too much B．Traveling too much
C．Driving cars too much D．Climbing stairs too much.
29. What was life like when the author was young?
A．People usually went around on foot.
B．people often walked 25 miles a day
C．People used to climb the Statue of Liberty.
D．people considered a ten- hour walk as a hardship.
30.The author mentions Henry Thoreau to prove that
A．middle-aged people like getting back to nature
B．walking in nature helps enrich one’s mind
C．people need regular exercise to keep fit
D．going on foot prevents heart disease
31. What is the author’s intention of writing this passage?
A．To tell people to reflect more non life.
B．To recommend people to give up driving
C．To advise people to do outdoor activities
D．To encourage people to return to walking
