Bicycles are very popular in China. In our country you can see bicycles almost everywhere. When you walk on the road, you will find a lot of people riding bicycles to schools, shops and anywhere else. Therefore(因此), China is known as “the kingdom of bicycles”. In China, many families have one or two bicycles.
Compared(與……比) with cars, bicycles have many advantages. First, they are much cheaper than cars. Most Chinese can’t afford cars, but they can afford bicycles. Second, bicycles are small enough to park anywhere, while cars need a larger piece of land to park. What’s more, with lower speed, bicycles are safer than cars.

My teachers suggested that I see a speech specialist (專家) in school.
I never really gave much thought to my speech. If other people understood what I was saying, then that was good enough. I didn’t mind repeating myself many times.
Before testing me, the speech specialist asked me what I thought of having good speech. I told her I thought it was not important.
“Well, when you are in an interview for a job, and they don’t know what you are saying, what are they going to say to you? Nice meeting you, bye,” she said.
Maybe good speech was important. I took part in 20-minute classes each week with the specialist.
After she tested me, she told me that I spoke too fast, and didn’t give enough eye contact (眼神交流). I learned that when I made eye contact with someone, it meant that I was talking to that person, and I could also see what he or she thought about what I was saying.
When my first speech class started, I found that I had been speaking too fast to be understood. Every time I spoke too fast, the specialist stopped me and told me to start again. At first, I got stopped after almost every other sentence. After a while, I felt my speech slow down. I wasn’t sure if people could understand me better, but my friends stopped asking me to repeat myself.
Speech is an important skill to have. If you do have good speech, that’s a good thing, but if you don’t have it, it is never too late to improve.
【小題1】The article is probably taken from       .

A.a(chǎn) newspaper B.a(chǎn)n advertisement C.a(chǎn) detective story D.a(chǎn) science book

a. He spoke too quickly.                 b. He never stopped once he started talking.
c. He seldom kept eye contact with people.  d. He didn’t give others time to ask questions.
A.a(chǎn), b B.b, c C.a(chǎn), c D.b, d

A.the writer’s friends couldn’t understand him
B.the writer still couldn’t make eye contact

D.the writer didn’t slow down

Reading Oliver James'Affluenza, I thought about what often happens at home. My 12-year-old daughter is in tears."I have so take a test tomorrow. I don't understand any of it," she cries out. After shouting and shutting her door, she calms down enough to go through her notes. The following dry I ask her how the test went and the just says "OK,I got a nine".
"Wow. well done!" I say, before she finishes with "But I never get a ten!"
According to James, this obsession with getting top marks has been a bad development, which encourages people to think of education in terms of work and money. To test this, I asked my daughter why she was so worried about her tests. She looked at me as if I was thick. "Well, if I don't get good grades, I won't be able to afford nice things like a car and stuff."
I was quite surprised, because I don't consider myself a pushy parent. But James suggests and it leaves students feeling failures even if they are very bright. He points to the Danish system(體制)of education as a better model. Creating happy citizens who have good social skills is seen as more important than high achievements at school or the needs of business.
For me, I cannot remember the last time I had to work out the area of a circle, recite a Shakespeare poem or grammar rules, yet I have lived a happy life. What I really needed to learn at school was how to make polite conversations, or how to avoid getting into debt or how to develop good personality.
This is in fact similar to what Oliver James really has in mind. And he is looking for schools where students are encouraged to find and follow their own interests, something more like Tongjon. Tongjon has been developed in some Korean private schools. It is quite different from the more rigid system of learning things by heart that is used in Korea, and indeed in many other school systems around the world.
As the Russian poet Pushkin said," Inspiration(靈感)is needed in geometry(幾何學(xué))just as much as in poetry ",and inspiration does not come from endlessly revising for tests or getting worried about them .
【小題1】What does the writer probably think of his/her daughter?

A.She sets herself a goal too high to reach.
B.She should be more polite to her parents.
C.She is hard-working but not very bright.
D.She takes her grades much too seriously.
【小題2】What does the word "obsession"in paragraph 3 mean?
A.A plain and unavoidable fact.
B.A satisfied and very proud state.
C.A practical and widely-used way.
D.A fixed and often unreasonable idea.
【小題3】What can we infer from the passage?
A.Social skills are as important as high grades.
B.Interest in grades can shake self-confidence.
C.The writer regrets not having studied hard at school.
D.Danish educational system is for very smart students.
【小題4】The writer wants to tell us that____.
A.learning happily is the key to self-development.
B.top marks may be helpful to increase one's interest.
C.tests should be improved to give children inspiration.
D.education should meet one's needs for word and money.

Have you been asked for money by some disabled beggars (乞丐) while you’re enjoying shopping?

You may have known several kinds of police, traffic police, and street police. But have you ever heard of energy-saving (節(jié)能) policemen?
A group of 22 of these new policemen went to work last week in Beijing. They go around the city to see the use of energy in hotels, office buildings, shopping centers and other public places. One of their aims is to make sure that these places have set their air conditioning (空調(diào)) no cooler than 26 ℃.

"If everyone sets their air conditioning at 26 ℃, Beijing will save 400 million kilowatt-hours of electricity in one summer. That's one-third of all the usage of the city in the season," said a TV advertisement.
Other Chinese cities, like Wuhan in Hubei Province and Yangzhou in Jiangsu Province, are going to follow Beijing's steps in setting up a similar police team.
From 1986 to 2005, China met 20 warm winters. It means that Chinese cities have to spend billions of yuan solving the environmental problems every year.
To introduce a green life to the public, Beijing also held a show on energy-saving technology and productions last week. It attracted lots of attention.
"We want to tell people that there are certain ways to protect the environment. Each of us can find right ways to do it in our daily lives," said Liu Qianguang, an environmental engineer in Beijing.
【小題1】The job of the energy-saving policemen is ___________.

A.to set the air conditioning cooler
B.to check the use of energy in public places
C.to stop people using air conditioning
D.to make sure that more energy will be produced
【小題2】Beijing will use ___________ million kilowatt-hours electricity in one summer.
A.1200 B.800 C.400D.133
【小題3】Which of the following years' winters were all warm in China?
A.1984-1988.B.1999-2003. C.2002-2006. D.2005-2009.
【小題4】According to Liu Qianguang, ___________.
A.there are few ways to protect the environment
B.it's difficult to find good ways to save energy
C.it's easy for one to do something good for the environment
D.it's not easy for one to do something good for the environment
