Cities are taking interest in electric scooter-share systems as an affordable transportation to cut down on pollution and traffic jams. The electric scooters, which weigh between 30 and 40 pounds, reach speeds of about 15 mph.
In September 2017，Santa Monica, California, became the first U.S. city to
have an electric scooter-share service. Users find and unlock one of the more than
1，000 scooters with a smartphone app. A ride costs $ 1，and then 0.15 cents for
each minute of riding throughout the beach town.
Bird, the startup operating the scooter-share, picks up the scooters every
night to them, and places the m around Santa Monica each morning ready for people’s use. The company was created by Travis VanderZanden, who once worked in Uber and Lyft, after he realized ridesharing services failed to help with traffic jams and air pollution. Since its September 2017 beginning, Bird’s system has served more than 50,000 riders who have taken 250,000 trips —more than half of which have been in the last month. It’s since expanded (扩张) to Venice, California, and some neighborhoods in Los Angeles and San Diego. Bird plans to expand to lots of markets by the end of 2018.
Competitors，backed by millionaires，are appearing. Two bike-share startups LimeBike and Spin, have spoken of
plans to provide electric scooters in cities this year.
Electric scooters have also gotten the attention of Mayor Pete Buttigieg from South Bend，
Indiana. The city is interested in using them as a way to improve public transportation. South Bend was one of the first to use bike-share systems, which allow people to park ridesharing bikes on public la nd. “We love to be early pioneers，” said Buttigieg. “If we work out the safety problem, we would be open to welcoming the technology.”
“We need to make sure these new transportation systems are lawful and safe for users，”
Constance Farrell，a spokeswoman for the city of Santa Monica told CNN. “We would like to see electric scooters continue to operate in the city. They are in line with our goal of multi-modal living and carbon-light living. ” According to Farrell，there have been eight accidents, including one with a serious head injury，in Santa Monica after the scooters rolled out. Users are required to have a driver’s license (驾照），shouldn’t ride on sidewalks or have other passengers on board.
Bird has given out free helmets to some riders and tells its users to ride in bike lanes, but some users ride on sidewalks, and most U.S. streets don’t have bike lanes.
“The global community of cities is going to have to work this all out for scooters，”Buttigieg said. “They can move unbelievably quickly. That’s ex citing，and a little dangerous. ”
1．Why did Travis create Bird company?
A．Because he received support from millionaires and the government.
B．Because many cities had electric scooter-share services.
C．Because it is lawful and safe to use electric scooters.
D．Because cities need better ridesharing services.
2．The words “ are in line with” in Paragragh 6 probably mean “”.
A．stop B．meet the need of C．change D．are ahead of
3．What can we learn from the passage?
A．Future electric scooters will be very slow and sale.
B．Electric scooters will cause fewer accidents than cars.
C．More cities will try to help with electric scooters service.
D．Future traffic problems will be solved with help of electric scooters.
4．The passage is mainly about .
A．the challenges of the electric scooter-share system in America
B．the advantages and disadvantages of electric scooters in America
C．the introduction of the electric scooter-share service in America
D．the future of electric scooters in public transportation in America

19、With the development of economy, mobile phones are more and more widely used in our daily life. However, some students and teachers have different ideas about if the students should own their mobile phones at school.
Some students think that they may have their own mobile phones. If so, they can contact their parents when necessary. On the other hand, they can read news with it. Besides that, they can easily search for information they need.
However, some teachers are against it. They think that students not only play games but also send answers to each other in exams with mobile phones. What’s worse, students spend too much time on them at night so that they are sleepy in class in the day time.
In my opinion, students needn’t own mobile phones. We must focus on our study. Even if we need call somebody, we can ask our teachers for help.。
