It’s good exercise.’

【解析】

试题分析：这篇短文先给我们举了White先生走路去上班的例子，通过这个例子告诉我们，因为现在很多人开车上班，所以对空气造成了污染，因此作者建议，我们应该用更环保的方式去上班。

1.根据短文中He usually goes to work on foot可知，White先生经常走路去上班。这里walks 和原句中的on foot 同义，因为主语是第三人称单数，故填walks。

2.根据短文中then he leaves for his office at a quarter to seven. When he gets to his office, it’s usually about twenty-five past seven.可知，White先生通常6点45分动身去办公室，大约7点25分到达，因此这一路一共花费他大约四十分钟的时间。

3.为什么White先生不开车或坐公交车上班呢？根据短文中He said,“The traffic(交通) is too heavy during the rush hour可知，因为他说在上下班的高峰时刻，路上的交通总是非常的拥挤。

4.这篇短文给我们用White先生走路去上班为例，是想告诉我们，因为现在很多人开车上班，所以对空气造成了污染，因此我们应该用更环保的方式去上班。故短文第二段中So people need more green travel-riding their bikes or walking是整篇短文的主题句。

5.这句话中a quarter to seven的意思是差一刻钟到7点，即6点45分；leave for动身或出发去某地。故本句意为：然后在6点45分，他出发去他的办公室。
