1. D細節(jié)理解題。由題目中的關(guān)鍵同over 700 children in Redondo Beach. California,可回原文定位于第三段。根據(jù)"The students do this once a week."可知，他們每周步行去上學一次，因此D項表述"他們和父母每天步行去上學"是錯誤的。根據(jù)第三段最后一句"It also means to increase their activity,or fitness levels."可知，步行去上學意味著改善健康，排除A;根據(jù)第三段第一句"...walking to school with parents and,in some cases,even their dogs."可知，他們和父母或狗一起去上學，排除B;根據(jù)第四段"It's a good way to make the kids exercise in the morning."可知,步行去上學是讓孩子鍛煉的好方法，排除C。
