Like all big cities， Paris has a traffic problem： lots of cars. lots of traffic jams and lots of pollution from exhaust fumes（废气）. So the city began a scheme（计划）to improve the situation。

Under the Velib scheme （'Velib’ comes from velo liberte, or ’bicycle f reedom') people can take a bicycle， use it for as long as they want， and then leave it at the same or another bicycle station. The first half—hour—on the bike is free， but if you don't return it after 30 minutes, you have to pay。

But it’s only € 1 a day or€ 29 a year! The bicycles are heavy （25kg）， and they are all grey and have baskets. There are about 20，000 of them in the city, and around 1，450 bicycle stations. So there are a lot more Velib stations than the 298 subway stations!
Paris is not the first city to have a scheme like this。

But not everybody thinks it's a great idea。

One Parisian said. “These bicycles are only for short journeys。

If people want to travel across the city, they won't use a bicycle-they'll still use their cars。

”
A city spokesman said, “The bicycle scheme won’t solve all our traffic problems, of course. But it might help reduce air pollution. Traffic， together with factory fumes, is a big problem。

There aren't any simple answers to traffic problems and pollution in cities. But unless we do something now， there will be more traffic jams and temperatures will continue to rise， so the problems in our environment will get worse。

The bikes might help people to lead a healthier life，
too. “

D. No money。

6. Why do some people disagree with the Velib scheme?

The world is filled with smart, talented, educated and gifted people。

We meet them everyday.
A few days ago，my car was not running well. I pulled it into a garage and the young mechanic had it fixed in just a few minutes。

He knew what was wrong by simply listening to the engine.
I was amazed。

The sad truth is， great talent is not enough.
l am constantly shocked at how little talented people earn。

I heard the other day that less than 5 percent of Americans earn more than ＄ 100，000 a year. A business consultant who specializes in the medical trade was telling me how many doctors and dentists struggle financially. It was this business consultant who gave me the phrase，” They are one skill
a way from great wealth.”
There is an old saying that goes，”Job means ’just over broke'". And unfortunately,
I would say that the saying applies to millions of people. Because school does not think financial intelligence is intelligence, most workers "live within their means" They work and they pay the bills. Instead I recommend to young people to seek work for what they will learn，more than what they will earn。

When I ask the classes I teach, "How many of you can cook a better hamburger than McDonald's？ " almost all the students raise their hands. I then ask，“So if most of you can cook a better hamburger, how come McDonald's makes more money than you?"The answer is obvious：
McDonald's is excellent at business systems. The reason why so many talented people are poor is that they focus on building a better hamburger and know little or nothing about business systems. The world is filled with talented poor people. They focus on perfecting their skills at building a better hamburger rather than the skills of selling and delivering the hamburger。

8。

What can we know about the mechanic from paragraph 1？
A。

He is a talented person。

B. He is always amazing。

C. He has a good sense of hearing.
D. He is good at making money.

What does the underlin ed part "live within their means” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Live in their own circle。

B. Do in their own way。

C. Live within what they earn。

D. Spend more than they can afford。

10. What makes talented people earn little in the author ’s opinion?
A. Lacking financial intelligence.
B。

Not working hard enough.
C。

Not making full use of their talents。

D. Having no specialized skills。

11。

What does the text mainly want to tell us？
A. What schools should teach students.

A recent study suggests that vitamin D pills can help speed up the time taken for burns to heal and prevent scarring（结疤)。

The vitamin， which is produced naturally in the body when the skin is exposed to sunshine， is believed to help protect against burning.
Previous studies have shown that vitamin D pills help decrease redness and swelling after sunburn, and may be one of the reasons why the body produces the chemical.
The research from Birmingham University， has found they may also help relieve other types of burn. Researchers monitored 38 patients who had suffered serious burns for a year and
recorded their levels of vitamin D。

They found that those with the highest levels of vitamin D had better wound healing and fewer scars。

Professor Janet Lord said：“Low vitamin D levels were associated with worse results in burn patients including life—threatening infections(感染),death and delayed wound healing. Major burn injury severely reduces vitamin D levels and adding this vitamin back may be a simple, safe and cost-effective way to improve the condition for burn patients。

" Professor Lord and her team are now focusing on finding out why there is a rapid loss of vitamin D in patients immediately following burn injury and hope that they may be able to prevent this in future。

The amount of reduction in patients’ vitamin D levels was not related to the severity （严重程度） of the burn， so levels may also be decreased in minor burn injury, suggesting taking vitamin D pills could also help people with everyday burns. Public Health England now recommends that all Britons take vitamin D pills in the winter because it is impossible to make sufficient quantities in the darker months.
12. What does the new study find?
A。

People with low vitamin D levels get burned easily.
B. Vitamin D helps with the recovery from burn injury。

C。

Vitamin D pills aid in reducing the swelling from burns。

D。

Vitamin D is more beneficial to serious burns than minor burns.
13. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs？
A. The severity of one's burn reflects his vitamin D levels。

B. Vitamin D pills are more needed in the autumn months。

C. Burn patients lacking vitamin D are at high risk of infection。

D. Minor burns have no effect on patients’ vitamin D levels.
14。

What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. The researchers.
B. Vitamin D pills。

C。

Previous studies。

D。

Some kinds of vitamins。

15. Which of the following can be the best title of the text?
A。

Vitamin D: A Necessity for Our Health
B。

Vitamin D Pills: When Are They Needed?
C. Vitamin D: How Much Does the Body Need?
D. Vitamin D Pills: Heal Burns ＆. Prevent Scarring

Dear Jack，
_________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________
Yours,
Li Hua 【答案】Dear Jack，
As we all know， the earth is becoming warmer and warmer. It is human activity that has caused this global warming. A low—carbon lifestyle is the key to handling this big problem facing the earth。

To fulfill it， we should do our part in our daily life。

First, turn off the taps， the lights and so on when we are not using them。

It is a good idea to recycle everything recyclable in our daily life。

What's more, motor vehicles use a lot of energy. So walk or ride a bike if we can。

All of us should take action now! If we can make small changes in our way of life, we can make a big difference to the earth。

Yours,
Li Hua。
