City: Hangzhou
Launched: 2008
Size: 2,965 stations / 69,750 bikes
Price：S32.61 deposit(押金)+ time charge
While taking a look at this city, you may see the best bike sharing in the world. As the second on the planet by size, the Hangzhou Public Bicycle System is one of the most common and useful shares, largely because it’s combined with public transportation: a single card can be used in subway，bus，taxi and bike sharing. Residents(居民)and tourists can put down a deposit of 200 Chinese Yuan (about $33) and ride for an hour for free in this scenic city. Each additional hour costs only $ 0. 15. It was also the first new-generation bike-sharing system in China. By 2020 it’s projected to have 175,000 bikes.
City: Barcelona
Launched: 2007
Size: 420 stations / 6,000 bikes
Price: $61.93 per year
Barcelona's Bicycling Program developed Spain’s bike-sharing business in a big way. This program took off like wildfire on wheels, and became four times bigger in one year. It inspired different copycat programs all over the country. Today, Spain has 132 bike-sharing systems. The program is one of the world’s most respected and popular shares. But it is only open to residents and tourists are not allowed to use it.
City: Paris
Launched: 2007
Size: 1,751 stations / 23,900 bikes
Price: S38.52 per year/ $2.26 per day
Paris's bike sharing is the star of the world. Launched in 2007, it is the world’s largest outside of China. Cheap by American standards, you can ride around Paris on a €1.7 day pass--the first half hour of each trip is free. Because this system covers the city with an average of 50 stations per square mile, it’s a favorite with both locals and tourists.

Something Fun
A person is on trial for murder in a court room in Oklahoma. There is strong evidence indicating that he is guilty（有罪的）. However, the body is not found.
In the defense’s (辩护方) closing speech, the lawyer, knowing that his client (委托人) is guilty and that it looks like he’ll probably be seriously punished, decided to play a clever trick.
“Ladies and gentlemen of the jury (陪审团), I have a surprise for you all,” the lawyer says as he looks at his watch. “Within one minute, the person assumed dead in this case will walk into this court room,” he says and he looks towards the court-room door. The jury, somewhat surprised, looks at the door eagerly. A minute passes. Nothing happens.
Finally, the lawyer says, “Actually, I made up the previous statement. But you all waited with expectation. I, therefore, put it to you that there is a reasonable doubt in this case as to whether anyone was killed and insist that you pass a judgment of not guilty.”
The jury, clearly confused, back off to discuss.
A very few minutes later, the jury returned and one of them pronounces a verdict (裁决) of guilty.
“But how?” asks the lawyer in surprise. “You must have had some doubt; I saw all of you stare at the door.”
Answers the jury member, “Oh, we did look. But your client didn’t.”

C
When I was seven years old my mom had cancer. The doctors told us my mom might be saved with surgery (手术). But it could also kill her. She chose to have it.
The day before the surgery I was off school, and my mom planned the best day of my life, everything I
loved at seven and everything that would put a smile on my face. The day began with her waking me up saying, “Kate, I have a surprise for you. Come and see.” The surprise was a doll I had wanted for the longest time. Throughout the day, she told me everything that she thought I would need to know to grow up and be a good person, she told me to be the best I could be and that I would always make her proud. We had a picnic in the park, and it was so cold that we moved to the car. The day was filled with laughter. For the first time in a long time I could see she was really happy. I would never forget her smile, or the way her eyes shone as if we were the same age. It was the best day of my life, and I will never forget the conversations(谈话) we shared.
My mother managed to live through the surgery. Now when I look back, I realize that the best day of my life could be her last and this could be the last day I would remember with her, the last one we shared.

Who needs friends? According to most psychologists（心理学家）we all do, especially nowadays when so many other aspects (方面) of modern life are changing. It seems that having friends keeps us both healthy and happy.
The number of TV series about groups of friends shows just how important friendship is to us. Psychologist Dorothy Rowe says that many of us now turn to our friends, instead of our families, for advice,
comfort and security. One woman named Rebecca she interviewed even told her that if she had got to choose between her husband and her friend, she would choose her friend.
Since our friends mean so much to us, it is not surprising that the happiest marriages are also friendships. "Once the romantic stage of a relationship has passed, it is friendship that holds people together," says Rowe. If the couple do not make some changes, they will either get tired of each other and break up or stay together and seek friendship with others.
But is friendship equally important to women and men? According to author Rhonda Pritchard, women are more likely than men to have close friends. "You tell a friend thing that you'd never tell a partner," says one woman she interviewed. For men, friendship is usually based on doing things together rather than the private conversations that are typical of women friends. Men share time and activities like building a fence or a business, running, riding a bike, fishing or watching football, but they don't often share their feelings.
Although many women find their relationships with a husband or boyfriend is not enough, many men say that their partner is their best friend. Even women who are very happily married are likely to become very unhappy without a close friend and can even find the breakup of a close friendship as painful as the end of a marriage.
Lasting friendships can provide a lot of the same support that families provided in the past, but the perfect situation is to have your family there for you as well. Friendships and family relationships can both change, but a friend will not consider you when making really important decisions in the same way that a family member will.
32. What did Rebecca think about friendship?
A. All of us need friendship.
B. Friends are as important as families.
C. Her friend means more to her than her husband.
D. One need not have too many friends.
33. Why do married men or women look for friendship?
A. They are encouraged by their partners
B. They do not get what they need from their partners.
C. They are not fairly treated by their partners
D. They think their friends are more romantic.
34. What is the main difference between men’s and women’s friendship?
A. Women often do things together with friends.
B. Men often talk to their friends about work and family.
C. Women often talk about business with friends.
D. Men seldom talk to their friends about their feelings.
35.What might women do when a close friendship ends?
A. They feel as upset as when a marriage ends.
B. They share feelings with their partners.
C. They treat their partners as friends.
D. They turn to their husbands for comfort.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

You want to feel confident, right? You want to be able to walk around, knowing you’re a nice person and truly believing it. However, everyone gets insecure at times; that’s life. 36 .
·Smile more
Smiling makes you feel good. It fools your mind into being happier. When you feel good, you’re more likely to think you — as a whole being — are good. 37 .
·Wear your best dress
This point is just a cute way of saying, “Wear what makes you feel good.” 38 . It’s not always a dress, of course; it can be a shirt, a tie, a pair of shoes, or whatever. It doesn’t matter what it is. Just find that object that makes you feel good and wear it.
39 .
A lot of insecurity comes from holding yourself to a standard that someone else makes up. What other people expect of you is irrelevant (不相关的). You know what you’re going through, and you know what you’ve been through, so only you can truly know what you are good at. So free yourself from other people’s expectations.
·Be prepared
If you’re going to a party, be prepared by looking good, feeling good and having some conversation topics in mind. If you’re giving a speech, be prepared by knowing your speech. 40 . Preparation will lead
you to security in the situation.
A．We all have a “best dress”
B．Live up to others’ expectations
C．Let go of other people’s expectations
D．If you’re giving a presentation, practice presenting it
E. So by improving your mood, you build up your confidence
F. When you know your passion in life, it gives you a lot more sense of purpose
G. In fact, here are some things you can do to build up your confidence right now
