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. Skyrocketing 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 cuts down 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 greenways.

9．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.

10．What is Paragraph four mainly about?

A. Benefits of biking.B. Pollution caused by cars.

C. Methods to use the bikes.D. Measures to decrease pollution.

11．Which of the following is true of Nice Ride?

A. China has better public bike systems.

B. It will take the place of taxi companies.

C. It attracts more people to choose biking.

D. The government lacks money to support it.

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

A. To seek advice for Nice Ride.

B. To compare Nice Ride with libraries.

C. To raise money for bike-share programs.

D. To introduce the bike system in public places.

For many people,being on the job might just sound like a picnic compared to a day at home filled with housework,meals and childcare.Even for those with a happy family life,home can sometimes feel more taxing than work.

In a new study,researchers at Penn State University found significantly and consistently lower levels of cortisol（皮质醇）released in response to stress,in a majority of subjects when they were at work compared to when they were at home.This was true for both men and women,and parents and people without children.

Both men and women showed less stress at work.But women were more likely to report feeling happier there. Men were more likely to feel happier at home.Experts say there are other reasons why work is less stressful than home for many."Paid work is more valued in society,"says Sarah Damaske,the lead researcher on the study. "Household work is boring and not particularly rewarding."

We get better at our job with time and the increased competence means less stress and more rewards.Yet none of us,no matter how long we've been doing it,ever truly feels like an expert at parenting or even at marriage.

The support and friendship of co-workers also offer stress relief.At home,meanwhile,stress spreads and accumulates（积累）quickly."That's the reason why most housewives wish they were the bread earners,"Dr.Damaske says.

Much of the advice to families and couples include the warning to "leave work stress at the office" and even to change our mind-set （思维定式）from work to home,for example,a walk around the block.The recent findings,though,suggest  our home life,not our attitude,might be due for some change.

13．Which of the following can replace the underlined word "taxing"?

A. stressful.    B. cheerful.  C. worthwhile.    D. rewarding.

14．What did the research in the second paragraph prove?

A. Men felt better at home.              B. Women felt they had less time.

C. Women were easier to feel happier.     D. Most people felt more stress at home.

15．According lo the recent findings,what should we change to solve the problem mentioned?

A. Our attitude.    B. Our mind-set. C. Our home life.    D. Our working style.

　　Eyesight plays a very important role in our daily life. Every waking moment, the eyes are working to see the world around us. Over forty percent of Americans worry about losing eyesight, but it’s easy to include steps into our daily life to ensure healthy eyes. Here are five suggestions for a lifetime of healthy eyesight:

﹡Schedule yearly exams. 16． Experts advise parents to bring babies 6 to 12 months of age to the doctor for a careful check. The good news is that millions of children now can have yearly eye exams and following treatment, including eyeglasses.

﹡Protect against UV rays (紫外线). Long-term stay in the sun creates risk to your eyes. No matter what the season is, it’s extremely important to wear sunglasses. 17．

﹡Give your eyes a break. Two-thirds of Americans spend up to seven hours a day using computers or other digital products.  18．  Experts recommend that people practice the 20/20/20 rule: every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break and look at something 20 feet away.

﹡19．  As part of a healthy diet, eat more fruits and vegetables each day. Vitamins C and E help protect eyesight and promote eye health.

﹡Practice safe wear and care of contact lenses (隐形眼镜). Many Americans use contact lenses to improve their eyesight. While some follow the medical guidance for wearing contact lenses, many are breaking the rules and putting their eyesight at risk.  20． Otherwise, you may have problems such as red eyes, pain in the eyes, or a more serious condition.

A. Eat your greens.

B. Eye care should begin early in life.

C. They can properly protect your eyes.

D. Stay in good shape by taking more vitamins.

E. Parents usually don’t care about their own eyesight.

F. Always follow the doctor’s advice for appropriate wear.

G. This frequent eye activity increases the risk for eye tiredness.

 How will our continuously growing population affect our way of life, our environment, even our planet? No matter how you look at it, we will face 41_extremely serious problem. By the middle of the 21^st century, we 42_(use) up all the oil that drives our cars if at the rate we’re going. Even if scientists develop some new 43_(way)of feeding the human race, the crowded conditions on the earth will make 44_necessary for us to look for open space somewhere else. But none of the planets in our solar system are able 45_(support) life at present.

However, 49_his idea is turned into reality, humans have a long way to go. On the one hand, Venus is much 50_(hot)than the earth; on the other hand, there is only a tiny amount of water there.

It was a Sunday afternoon. I am playing in the park with my friend when I saw an old man lying on the ground. I tried to help him standing up, and he couldn’t move and seemed in pain. Not knowing what to do, I asked my friend call an ambulance. Soon the ambulance arrived at. We helped carry the old man into the ambulance. The doctor praised us for that we did, which made us very happily.
