Kyle Cassidy and three other members of the Running Group were stretching on the grounds of the University of Pennsylvania，waiting for a few slow members to start.The Penn colleagues and other community members meet three days a week for a roughly 30-minute jog and an occasional lecture.It's not your normal exercise chatter— during some runs，one of them gives a talk.The topics range from the brain to Bit coin.
But on this day last January，it would not be their normal run.The first sign was the man who ran past them very fast. "Probably running a 7：15 pace （per mile），" Cassidy thought admiringly.
Cassidy discovered why the man was so fleet of foot when another man ran by，yelling， "Help!He took my phone!"
Hearing that，the group did what running clubs do：They ran，chasing the suspect down the streets until he quickly hid into a construction site.The runners went separate ways.Cassidy ran around to the far side of the site to cut the thief off while the others wandered the neighborhood hoping he had abandoned the stolen phone in a backyard.
No luck.Then they asked the residents（居民） whether they'd seen the guy.When they knocked on the door of one house，they were in surprise.They didn't know the thief had already come out of the construction site and was hiding behind a bush by that very house.As the owner opened the door，the suspect suddenly rushed out from behind the bush ...and right into the arms of the campus police，who had joined the chase shortly behind the runners.
The members of this running group are not passionate runners.But they do understand the benefit of a little exercise. "Running is typically a useless sport where you turn fat cells into heat，" Cassidy said. "But occasionally it can be useful，and here was one of those opportunities."

2．The size of the British Isles often leads people to think that the languages spoken in its countries of England，Scotland，Wales and Northern Ireland are somewhat the same.At first，visitors are often surprised to find that they have difficulty in understanding the accents and dialects of certain regions.Even in England there are many different dialects.
Experts believe that for most English people，the places they come from are very important to them.Accents are clues to where people were born and where they grew up.Although some people may change the way they speak during their lifetime，most people carry at least some evidence of their accents and dialects throughout their lives.In addition to the regional accents of England，there can also be class differences among the accents.People are often able to make instant and unconscious judgments about a stranger's class by listening to his or her accent.Both the words and the pronunciation of an individual reflect his or her social position.
It is agreed that in England，the kind of English spoken by a person plays a leading role that generally is not important in North America.The importance of accents and their cultural and social relationships are well represented in films and on television in Britain.The film My Fair Lady based on George Bernard Shaw's 1912 play Pygmalion is often said to be a wonderful example of how social class and the accent were，and still are，linked in Britain.

3．Ever since I graduated from high school I've worked in the factories surrounding my hometown every summer.However，making the transformation between school and full-time blue-collar work during the break never gets any easier.For a student like me who considers any class before noon to be unacceptable，getting to a factory by 6 o'clock each morning is suffering.My friends never seem to understand why I'm so relieved to be back at school or that my summer vacation has been anything but a vacation.
There are few people as self-confident as a college student who has never been out in the real world.People of my age always seem to overestimate the value of their time and knowledge.In fact，all the classes did not prepare me for my battles with the machine I ran in the plant，which would jam whenever I absent-mindedly put in a part backward or upside down.
The most stressful thing about blue-collar life is knowing your job could disappear over night.Issues like being laid off and overseas relocation had always seemed distant to me until my co-workers told me that the unit I was working in would shut down within six months and move to Mexico，where people would work for 60 cents an hour.
After working 12-hour shifts（輪班）in a factory，the other options have become only too clear. "This job pays well，but it's hell on the body，" said one co-worker. "Study hard and keep reading." she added.When I'm back at the university，skipping classes and turning in lazy re-writes seems too irresponsible after seeing what I would be doing without school.All the advice and public-service announcements about the value of an education that used to sound stale（陳腐的）now ring true.
My experiences in the factories have inspired me to make the most of my college years before I enter the real world for good.

（2）What can we infer about most college students？
A．They do better in the real world.
B．They are confident when they work.
C．They think too highly of themselves.
D．They are expert at handling machines.
（3）What is the biggest pressure for blue-collar workers？
A．A low income.
B．The lack of security.
C．An unstable location.
D．Less break.
（4）How did the working experiences change the author？
