AThey seem like a perfect solution to China’s traffic-clogged streets and polluted air: Bikesharing schemes.They’ve exploded in popularity in the past 12 months, with brightly colored bikes owned by several d ifferent companies flooding China’s major cities. Residents can rent them via apps on their smart phones.But some local authorities say the bikes have become a nuisance and one Shanghai district has taken away almost 5,000 bikes and placed them in a parking lot. Striking aerial(空中的) photos of the orange, yellow, blue, green bikes were widely shared by Internet users in China last week.Despite making citizens’ lives easier, the ever-growing number of shared bikes has paralyzed existing bike parking and management, a statement from the Huangpu district government said.The unregulated parking and riding has caused constant problems and complaints. A guard who works at the Shanghai parking lot said that traffic police had taken away the bikes because they had been illegally parked. He added that the bikes were from seven different bikesharing companies.A spokesperson for bikeshare operator Mobike said it had reclaimed its bikes "after consulting with the government." To prevent the problem happening again, he said the Mobike app would have a new feature from next week that recommended designated(指定的) parking spots.A spokesperson for ofo, one of the companies whose bikes were taken away in Shanghai said "some coworkers are following up on the situation" but di dn’t give further details. The company has one million bikes in operation nationwide. Bluegogo, another bikesharing company, so far has made no comment.Bikesharing is hardly new, but what makes it unique in China is that its usually station free -- which means that users can technically leave the bikes anywhere they want. It’s also cheap. It costs just 0.5 to 1 yuan ($0.07-$0.15) for a 30-minute ride.Shanghai is not the only city in China where bikesharing has had unexpected problems. According to a new research, more than 500 bikes rented out by bikesharing firms were left piled up in the southern city of Shenzhen in January.21. What does the underlined word “nuisance” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. something impressiveB. something creativeC. something importantD. something annoying22. According to the paragraphs 4 and 5, what’s the main problem about Bikesharing in Shanghai?A. There are too many such bikes on the streets.B. They are often parked in the wrong place.C. There are no places to park them.D. They are often taken away by others.23. What makes Bikesharing different in China?A. They are completely new in China.B. They are often free to park.C. They are very convenient.D. They are very colorful.24. What’s the best title?A. The ocean of bikes.B. Free bikes to use.C. Nice rides with BikesharingD. A perfect solution to polluted air.BMy best friend, an optimist, once insisted that I cut her hair. She may have misunderstood my haircutting experience. I had been cutting my own bang(刘海儿)for years, but otherwise my previous clients(客户)included only a horse and two Barbie dolls.“Make it short,” my friend told me, perhaps annoyed by the hot weather. I made it short. It was too bad she needed to renew her driver's license and pose for an updated photo the following week. Even though I apologized, she never asked me for a haircut again. She had learned her lesson. My family has not.In all the years I have known my husband, he has never visited a barber. When he first asked me to cut his hair, I offered to show him my friend’s driver’s license photo. But he was not discouraged. Fortunately, my task was simple, comparable to mowing a lawn(刈草坪). I have since repeated this procedure more than a hundred times. For our two kids, it has never been that easy.When our older son was about nine months old, I decided it was time for baby’s first haircut. I put him into his highchair and gave him a toy. But when I held up my scissors, he arched his back and started screaming, clearly convinced he was in a fight for his life. I put down my scissors. It was not time for my baby’s first haircut.For the next year or so, I performed stealth haircuts, walking quietly into my so n’s room at night and cutting a fewbunches as he slept.As my son grew older and was joined by a little brother, I continued to serve as family barber. My skills improved, but results were mixed. One ill-timed movement could lead to a disastrous result, as I struggled to adjust the rest of a style.25.

While cutting her 9-month-old son’s hair, the author ______.A. did great with her husband’s help.B. finally managed it by using a toy.C. had to give up at the beginning.D. convinced her son to cooperate.CWhere There is No Doctor：A Village Health Care Handbook----David Werner with Carol Thurman and Jane Maxwell．A first-aid guide written especially for the villager but also useful for anyone who cannot get immediate health care．It contains basic treatments for common illnesses such as diarrhea toothache，colds，and flu，as well as graphic chapters on childbirth，skin diseases and nutritional disorders such as acid indigestion and rickets （软骨病）．An extensive chapter on first aid details treatments is given to children，their diseases，and possible illnesses following birth．An extensive index concludes the book．The Twenty-Four-Hour Society：Understanding Human Limits in a World That Never Stops----Martin Moore Ede．As director of the Institute for Circadian Physiology．Moore Ede has devoted his life's work to examining how the body clock works and the effect 24-hourtechnology has on the physiology of humans．Some of the biggest accidents of modern industrial times have occurred at night, including the Exxon Valdez oil spill and those at Three Mile Island and Chernobyl．The author argues that this may be because the humans in charge were suffering from tiredness and lack of sleep, which may have affected their performance．Guidelines for how we may better organize our work schedules are included，as are ways to overcome jet lag and sleep disorders faced by those with busy schedules．Lifespan：Who Lives Longer and Why----Thomas J．Moore．Many commonly held beliefs about lifestyle and longevity are explained here．For example，the author，a fellow at the Center for Health Policy Research at George Washington University，argues that the age of your mother and father has more influence on your lifespan than regulating cholesterol （胆固醇）levels and weight watching．Moore feels that the threat of the flu virus----which kills 100，000people in the United Sates in a bad year and has killed a million people in a single year twice in this century----should receive more serious attention among populations．A discussion of what people really need to concentrate on to live longer is included，in addition to updates on current longevity research．29．Who will find Where There is No Doctor most helpful？A.

Most of them will seldom ever read another non-fiction book, therefore missing out on one of the greatest resources for boosting(推进) their career goals. They don’t realize that reading and constant learning will keep them mentally alert (警觉的) and younger, their memory will improve, they’ll be more decisive, smarter and quicker. In short, constant learning is considered one of the most important success skills.And reading books about a specific subject that is of interest to you regarding your career can give you an added bonus! When you study and learn more about a favorite topic you give your confidence a boost. You can very quickly become an authority in the field. Another tip is to try to read material written by someone with hands-on experience in the field, rather than just theory. The same thing goes for seminars or courses. The person who has hands-on experience has a lot more to offer you.By now you’re probably saying “But I just don’t have the time to read any books!” Well, one way would be to reduce the amount of time you spend reading the newspaper or watching TV. Or you could get up a half hour earlier each day to read undisturbed and, as Brian Tracy says, “milk the golden hour”.But by far the most powerful way of finding the time to learn is making your car your “college on wheels”. We all know that we spend thousands of hours a year driving to and from work. Most people will listen to the radio. But what if you took this time to listen to books on tape? Or what if you listened to tapes on your subjects of interest by experts in the field? By the end of the year you could have the equivalent (对等物) of 2 college terms! Another added bonus of listening to tapes in your car is that the stress of the drive will decrease and you’ll actually arrive feeling more refreshed and relaxed.Careful though, you can become addicted to this successful habit! So start now. It’s never too late to study!32. According to the author, after graduation most people ________.A. don’t know their career goalsB. want to attain further educationC. rarely read books containing factsD. seldom read novels or other books33.

What is the best way of making the time to read?A. Staying up late into the night.B. Getting up half an hour earlier.C. Using the time when you’re driving.D.
