Right in front of the Minneapolis Central Library, a row of green bikes sits parked in a special stand. Each bike is designed with the logo " Nice Ride"-the name of the city's bike-share program.
Nice Ride bikes are a lot like the library books that people come here to borrow. To rent a bike ,you simply use your membership card at a Nice Ride bike station. Members can rent one of l,200 bikes from 138 stations throughout Minnesota's largest city. People use the Nice Ride bikes to go to work, to go out on business ,or just to enjoy the city's many bike paths.
The rise of bike-share programs like Nice Ride is encouraging more people than ever to choose biking over driving. Rising gas prices and concerns about the environment have also gotten people to dust off their bike helmets ,pump air into flat tires ,and hit the road.
Why ride? Not only is biking good exercise but switching from a car to a bike also reduces the amount of pollution in the air. Carbon dioxide , a greenhouse gas linked to climate change , is one of the many polluting substances that come out of a car's tail pipe.
Bike-share systems are found around the world in cities like London, Paris, Barcelona, and Melbourne , Australia. The largest program-with 70,000 bikes-is in Wuhan, China.
To make roads friendlier to non-motorists, the U. S. Department of Transportation has invested more than a billion dollars in cycling and pedestrian projects in recent years. The money went toward building thousands of miles of on-street bike lanes and pedestrian- only passages called green ways.
16. If one wants to use the bike ,it's a must to _____.
A. give away a bicycle
B. know Nice Ride well
C. pay the cost in advance
D. get a membership card
17. Which of the following can people do with the bikes?
A. Earn a living.
B. Enjoy bikeways.
C. Compete in a race.
D. Rent them out to others.
18. Paragraph 4 is mainly about ______ .
A. benefits of biking
B. pollution caused by cars
C. methods to use the bikes
D. ways to reduce pollution
19. Which of the following is true of Nice Ride?
A. It will take the place of taxi companies.
B. China has better public bike systems.
C. It attracts more people to choose biking.
D. The government lacks money to support it.
20. The author's purpose in writing this text is to ______.
A. raise money for bike-share programs
B. seek advice for Nice Ride
C. compare Nice Ride with libraries
D. introduce the public bike system

My friend Robert started a new job this week and he's been in the training class for two days. The employer has a very strict dressing code-dark blue shirts and pants.
On the first day, an older gentleman in his class did not have the proper clothes and he was strictly told that he would be fired if he didn't have the right clothes the next day. He explained, "Sir, I had been told about this, but because of my larger size, it's sometimes difficult to find the right clothing for a price I can afford."
Last night, Robert and I decided that this old man shouldn't lose the chance of work simply because he couldn't afford the clothes. I had some cash on hand and Robert took it with him this morning just in case it was needed.
When training started this morning, the trainer was ready to fire the older gentleman. "You have 10 minutes to be in proper clothes," he was told. At this point, Robert spoke up and asked if he could have 10 minutes to get him the clothes. He then ran out to the store and bought the proper-sized pants and a shirt; he returned with both and gave them to the older man.
The older gentleman began to cry and told him that he couldn't accept such a gift from a stranger. Robert told him he had to because he had lost the receipt(收据) and couldn't return them-a little white lie. The pants were a perfect fit, the shirt was a bit tight but he was able to keep his job.
"My wife and I tried to gather together some money last night, but we didn't have enough to buy the clothes," he told Robert. "It's unbelievable to me that a person would do such a thing for only knowing me a day!"
More unbelievable is how good it has made Robert and me feel to do this.

A. be punished

C. put off the training class
D. lose his job
22. The money which was spent buying the clothes belonged to _____.

23. How did Robert persuade the older man to accept the clothes?
A. He told the older man that he would lose his job if he didn’t take them.
B. He told a lie that the clothes didn't fit himself.
C. He told the older gentleman that he could save money and return it later.
D. He told the older gentleman that he had no way to send them back.
24. Why didn’t the older gentleman wear the right clothes as required by the trainer?
A. He didn’t care about the job opportunity.
B. He was too fat to find the right size for himself

My husband and I stayed with him for the weekend but had to return to our jobs on Monday. Local relatives would help Dad get home form from the hospital and look after him. But I wanted to let him know that we cared too, even when we weren’t with him.

They hid notes in the cereal(麦片) box, under a hairbrush, next to the phone or even in the microwave oven. For days, their grandparents would smile as they discovered these signs of our love.
So as I tidied Dad’s kitchen and made up a bed for him downstairs in the living room, I wrote some notes. Some were pract ical, “Dad, I put the food in the fridge so it wouldn’t go bad.” Some expressed my love, “Dad, I hope you will sheep well in your new bed.” Most notes were downstairs where he would stay for several weeks until he recovered strength, but one note I hid upstairs under his pillow, “Dad, if you have found this note, you must be feeling better. We are so glad!”
Just like his medicines strengthened him physically, these “emotional vitamins” w ould improve his spiritual health. Several weeks later, in one of our regular phone calls, I asked Dad how he was doing. He said, “Pretty good. I just found your note under my pillow upstairs!”

选项中有两项为多余选项。

Are you new to experiencing relationships? Well, let me give you advice on having a healthy and possibly long-term relationship.
1. Be an honest person with them. Do not hide things from them. Do not lie. Don't be afraid
to say things that are not very flattering(令人愉悦的) about yourself. Getting them to trust you is the most important element in any relationship. If there's no trust, there's nothing. 31 仅
2. Make sure you give them respect. Now respect isn't just simply treating her or him nicely.
32 You have to learn to adjust to their liking. Basically, learn to study your partners' moods,
wants and needs. Don't just think about yourself, think about what your partners need out of it as well.
3. Make sure you are encouraging to your partners. Always be willing to help them and give
them honesty and be positive at the same time. Make them feel you are someone they can really depend on and build a future with. This is an important step in a relationship. 33 慘瀕赁谟辦
4. Make sure you' have a good sense of humor with them. Laughter is the key to happiness.
Laugh a lot with them, and joke with them. Laughter may seem silly, but it's the secret to a lot in life. It will keep the sparks alive. 34 權鰷鬢殒谯爷磯壯嘍撟蛺總颖骈谙掼胀闶凄宾劲狯诹蚁庞钤谊槨櫞拢驹
5.Make sure the communication is good. This usually goes along with trust, so always
communicate how you feel even if it's something that upsets you 35 If they did something that made you unhappy, tell them about it in a respectful manner. It's important to communicate this
to them, not to keep it bottled up.
A. There's a lot more to it.
B. Show them your personality.
C. Instead of screaming, talk to them:
D. Laughter keeps the relationship strong and lasting.
E. So please be honest and they'll learn to open up to you.

Dear headmaster,
I’m writing to persuade you to allow us to surf the Internet in the computer room. We know you are afraid that we may be exposed to unhealthy websites. Actually, ever coin has two sides. It depends on how we make use of the Internet. We do think that the Internet has more advantages when used in a proper way.
First of all, there are a lot of learning resources on the Internet and we can make good use of them. In addition, we can broaden our horizons and keep ourselves informed of the latest news home and abroad. Last but not least, as teenagers, we are forming our own judgment and are able to tell right from wrong. We will stay away from unhealthy websites.
I do hope you can take my suggestions into consideration.
Yours sincerely
Li Ming。
