Get ready to cycle your heart out at these local and overseas destinations perfect for cycling.

1. Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

With more bikes than people, the city has a large number of cyclists. Low speed limits in the centre control the impact of cars, while bike racks( 自行车停放架) on public transport make it easy to travel long distances. You can also find rental shops everywhere.

2. Berlin, Germany.

With over 1000 km of bike paths, the vast majority of which are protected lanes, it's no wonder Berliners love to get around by bike. For the traveller, the major sights are within easy reach on a bicycle. The “Call A Bike” share system allows you to simply lock the bike to any fixed object and call in a code to return it.

3. Paris, France.

Home to the Velib' public bike sharing system that has over 20, 000 bikes, and with 500km of bike paths, Paris cyclists can enjoy the city safe from motorists. A Velib' station is almost always within sight, or just around the next corner.

4. Tokyo, Japan.

Despite being home to one of the most developed public transportation networks on the planet, Tokyo residents still cycle in large numbers. Though the extent of bike lanes is limited, safe drivers ease the tension between car and cyclist. Unique automatic underground bike parking garages are provided when you need to store your bicycle.

5. Perth, Australia.

One of the newest taboos (禁忌) in American society is the topic of fat. Unlike many other taboos, fat is a topic that America talk about often. It is not taboo to talk about fat; it’s taboo to be fat.

The “in” look is thin. In the work world, most companies prefer youthful-looking, slim executives to sell their image and their products to the public. The thin look is associated with youth, vigor and success. The fat person, on the other hand, is thought of as lazy and lacking in energy, self-discipline and self-respect. After all, people think, how can people who care about themselves, and therefore the way they look, allow themselves to become fat? In an image conscious society like the U.S. , fat is “out”.

It is not surprising, then, that millions of Americans have become obsessed (着迷) with staying slim and “in shape”. The pursuit of youthful physical appearance is not, however, the only reason for America’s obsession with diet and exercise.

Recent research has shown the great importance of diet and exercise for personal health. As in most technologically developed nations, the life-style of North Americans has changed very quickly during the course of last century. Modern machines do all the physical labor that people were once forced to do by hand. Cars and buses transport us quickly from point to point. As the result of inactivity and disuse, people’s bodies can easily become weak and vulnerable to disease. In an effort to avoid such a fate, millions of Americans are spending more of their time exercising.

The effects of this new appreciation of the importance of exercise is clear: parks are filled with joggers and bicyclists, physical education programs are enjoying a newly-founded fame and many companies are providing exercise equipment for their employees to use during the work day.

24．In the United States, fat is something ________.

A．people always talk about          B．not regarded as a taboo topic

C．people usually pay no attention to   D．belonging to the same treatment as other taboos

25．What do Americans think of thin people?

A．They are energetic and successful.      B．They are lacking in self-discipline.

C．Their work helps them to look youthful.  D．Their appearances affects their behavior.

26．According to Paragraph 4, which of the following is an example of “inactivity”?

A．Celia takes part in a marathon.      B．Cecilia goes to her office by car.

C．Mary does her housework by hand.  D．Margaret plays badminton every Saturday.

27．Why are parks filled with joggers and bicyclists?

A．Because these parks are fit for sports.

B．Because people now recognize they should do more exercise.

C．Because people are taking part in physical education programs.

D．Because people are enjoying prestigious(受尊敬的) status in parks.

C

Doctors in hospital emergency rooms often see accidental poisonings. A frightened parent arrives with a child who swallowed a cleaning liquid. Or perhaps the harmful substance is a medicine. Or it might be a chemical product meant to kill insects. These are common causes of accidental poisoning.

In cases like this, seek medical help as soon as possible. Save the container of whatever caused the poisoning. And look on the container for information about anything that stops the effects of the poison. Save anything expelled from the mouth of the victim. That way, doctors can examine it.

Millions of people know a way to save a person who is choking on something trapped in the throat. The method is commonly known as the Heimlich Maneuver or abdominal thrusts(腹部按压), which you can do by getting directly behind a sitting or standing person. Put your arms around the victim’s waist. Close one hand to form a ball. Place it over the upper part of the stomach, below the ribs. Place the other hand on top. Then push forcefully inward and upward. Repeat the abdominal thrusts until the object is expelled from the mouth. For someone who is pregnant or very fat, place your hands a little higher than with normal abdominal thrusts.

Red Cross experts say taking these steps can save many lives. But they also warn that abdominal thrusts are not for people who have almost drowned. They say use of the method could delay other ways to re-start breathing in the victim. Abdominal thrusts should be used only in cases where a near-drowning victim is choking on an object.

To learn more about first aid, ask a hospital or organization like a Red Cross or Red Crescent Society for information. There may be training classes offered in your area.

28．According to the first paragraph, which of the following is NOT the common cause of accidental poisonings?

A．A cleaning liquid     B．Poisonous insects 

C．A harmful medicine   D．Dangerous pesticide(杀虫剂)

29．The underlined word “expelled” in paragraph 2 can be replaced by “_________ ”.

A．coming out B．taking up   C．going away D．getting down

30．Why abdominal thrusts are not for people who have almost drowned?

A．Because it is hard to perform    B．Because it is no need to do so

C．Because people are unwilling to attempt rescue efforts

D．Because it could hold up other ways to re-start breathing in the victim

31．What is the author’s purpose in writing this text?

A．To promote medical research   

B．To share some knowledge about first aid

C．To show how to perform abdominal thrusts

D．To help people deal with accidental poisoning

D

A recent study by Citi Retail Services found that a growing number of people are embracing digital wallets or e-wallets, due in large part to their convenience and ease of use.

E-wallets have been called the future of real-world payment technology. With major players like Alipay, WeChat and Apple Pay becoming popular, it seems to be a safe bet that a change in consumer payment technology is coming soon.

CNN reporter Paul Ripley experienced a day in Beijing without his wallet. "In China's largest cities, you can definitely survive without carrying a pocket full of cash and credit cards-as long as you've got your smartphone. "He paid for breakfast by scanning a QR code on the window of a hole-in-the-wall restaurant. All he had to do was to enter a password and the transaction was complete.

Unlike the situations in the US and other countries, "China doesn't have a really money-making credit card system, so Chinese people just skipped credit cards and went straight to mobile payments." Gu Yu, co-founder of the new payment app Mileslife, told CNN. He also pointed out the advantages of mobile payments."No coins or bills that can be lost or stolen, electronic receipts, the ease of keeping rack of spending-and of course, no wallet taking up space."he said.

However, if we want to make e-wallets a mainstream trend a lot of things will have to change over the coming years. Perhaps one of the most important things that need to be changed is how people regard e-wallets.Linda Barrabee, research director for NPD Connected Intelligence, said in a statement."In order to promote on-the-go consumer transactions(交易) and commerce, wireless carriers, credit card companies, and e-commerce companies need to make sure the process is convenient, simple, and secure for consumers."

32．More consumers tend to use e-wallets because they are       .

A．handy     B．enjoyable   C．economic     D．fashionable

33．Paul Ripley's example is used mainly to show that       .

A．Life in Beijing has become the most advanced in the world.

B．Smartphone payments are available in every part of China now.

C．Mobile payments are popular in large cities in China like Beijing.

D．You can buy anything you want using mobile payments in Beijing.

34．Which of the following statement is NOT true according to the passage?

A．There will be no more cash or credit card payments in the near future.

B．Digital-wallets will save up much space in your bag when you go out.

C．How people consider digital wallets will influence the popularity of digital wallet.

D．The Chinese credit card system has partly caused the popularity of digital wallets.

35．What is the last paragraph mainly about?

A．E-wallets will be definitely a mainstream trend in our life.

B．E-wallets is much safer and more convenient than traditional payments.

C．There is still a long way to make e-wallets become the main trend in our life.

D．E-commerce companies will make great profits by using e-wallets in the future.

One afternoon, many years ago, I went to pick up my mother from work. I got there a little early so I    41     the car by the roadside and waited for her.

As I looked   42   the car window, there was a small park where I saw a little boy, around one and a half to two years old,   43   freely on the grass as his mother watched from a short   44  . The boy had a big smile on his face   45   he had just been set free from a   46  . The boy would then fall to the grass, get up, and without   47   or without looking back at his mother, run as fast as he could, again, still with a   48   on his face, as if nothing had happened.

Kids, when they fall down, they don’t consider their falling down as a failure.   49  , they treat it as a learning experience. They feel compelled to try and try again until they   50  .

Not only was I impressed by the boy’s courage, but I was   51  touched by the manner in which he ran. With each attempt, he looked so   52  , so natural, without signs of fear, nervousness, or of being disappointed. His only   53   was to run freely and to do it effectively as he could.

How to Protect Our Eyes

Eye is the window of our mind. We use our eyes to see everything around us. Without eyes, nothing is left beside you but darkness.

But nowadays, the number of myopia among students increases sharply. We can see more and more students around us wear glasses and the glasses on the nose are getting thicker and thicker. It not only has a strong impact on our study, but also makes our daily life inconvenient.

How to protect our eyes? It’s not right to keep your eyes working for a long time. You’d better not read in a strong or poor light. Don’t read in bed or on a moving bus. Remember to keep your books away from your eyes for about a foot and do eye-exercises every day. What’s more, a balanced diet is necessary.

Follow my advice and form a good habit. It’s time to say goodbye to thick glasses.
