    China is a land of bicycles.At least it was back in 1992 when I travelled the country.Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle.Millions of them,all black.Cars were rare.Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year,I’ve found the opposite is true.There were millions of cars.However,people still use their bicycles to get around.For many,it’s the easiest and cheappiest way to travel today. Bicycles also come in different colours---silver,green,red,blue,yellow,whatever you want.
    It’s fun watching people biking. They rush quickly through crossroads,move skillfully through traffic,and ride even on sidewalks(人行道). Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can’t provide.
    Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture, I decided to buy a bicycle. Great weather accompanied my great buy. I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started to ride.
    My first ride home was orderly(守秩序的).To be safe,I stayed with a “pack”of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times. I didn’t want to get hit.So I took the ride carefully.
    Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States. The streets here were wide,so crossing took time,skill and a little bit of luck.
    I finally made it home. The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air hitting my face and going through my air was wonderful. I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people.Biking made me feel alive.
    【小题1】According to the suthour,why are bicycles still popular in China today?

    A．Because they are traditinal and safe.
    B．Because they are convienent and inexpensive.
    C．Because they are colourful and available.
    D．Because they are fast and environment friendly.
    【小题2】The authour decided to buy a bicycle because he intened ______.
    A．to ride for fun
    B．to use for transport
    C．to experience local culture
    D．to improve his riding skills
    【小题3】How did the suthour feel about his street crossing?
    A．It was boring.
    B．It was difficult.
    C．It was lively.
    D．It was wonderful.
    【小题4】Which of the following best describes the authour’s biking experience?

    Many cities have subways and underground public transportation to take locals and tourists alike rapidly around the city．However, there’s something different about riding a London subway．It may not look different, but the historical value of one of England’s most popular forms of transportation is enough to make riding the subway a must when visiting London．With a little under 300 different stations, the subway can take you almost anywhere you need to go．

    Riding a London subway, a person from other countries will notice one major difference: in London, people do not look at each other．In fact, eye contact is avoided at all times．That’s not rudeness―people are just too busy to bother looking．

    Busy doing what, you ask? Well, they’re certainly not using the time for a moment of quiet thinking．Nor are they reading a book．New technology has replaced quiet habits．Today the only acceptable form of book on the London underground is an e-book．

    Apple must earn a fortune from London commuters（使用月票上下班者）．Since the launch of the iPhone in 2007, over 40,000―yes, that’s 40,000 “apps” have been designed．

    Commuters love them because they are the perfect time-fillers．One “app”, called iShoot, is a game that features tanks．Another one, Tube Exits, tells passengers where to sit on the train to be closest to the exit of their destination．iSteam clouds the iPhone screen when you breathe into the microphone．You can then write in the “steam” on your phone screen．

    For those without an iPhone, another Apple product, the iPod, may be the distraction（消遣）of choice．It’s not just teenagers who “plug in” to their music－iPods are a popular way to pass the time for all ages．

    And if games, e-books and music aren’t enough to keep you occupied, then perhaps you would prefer a film? The development of palm DVD technology means many commuters watch their favorite TV shows or films on the way to work．With all these distractions, it’s amazing that people still remember to get off the train．

    1.Those who want to save time to reach where they go can download ______ to their iPhones．

    A．iShoot

    B．iPod

    C．iSteam

    D．Tube Exits

    2.People in London do not make eye contact on the subway because ______．

    A．they are going to work and have no time to communicate with each other

    B．they are busy playing games, reading e-books, listening to music or watching film

    C．they feel sleepy because of getting up early

    D．they love reading books and do not want to be disturbed

    3.The underlined word “apps” in the fourth paragraph means ______．

    A．computers

    B．fortune from London commuters

    C．computer companies

    D．programs downloaded for the iPhone

    4.Which word best describes the writer’s attitude towards commuters’ behaviors ?

    A．for

    B．neutral

    C．against

    D．hateful

    5.The main idea of the passage is that ______．

    A．London commuters are unfriendly to strangers

    C．Apple has earned a lot of money from selling 40,000 apps

          For many people,  there is only one good reason to go to an amusement park: the roller coaster. But why do People go on roller coasters?

          "Where else in the world can you scream at the top of your lungs and throw your arms in the air?"  Frank Farley asks. "If you did that in most other places, they'd take you to your parents and probably put you through a psychological evaluation  (心理检查)."  Farley is a psychologist at Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

          Roller coasters are often attractive to kids whose lives are stressful or controlled.  "Roller coasters are a way of breaking out of the humdrum (单调 ) of everyday life.  You can let it all go and scream and shout or do whatever you want," Farley says. It has been proved that many adults feel the same way.

          Compared with skateboarding, extreme mountain biking, and other adventure sports, riding roller coasters is safe. Parents usually don't mind when kids go on coasters.  Roller coasters also have a way of bringing people together.  Riders share the thrill and adventure of surviving what feels like an extreme experience.

          Whether you like to ride a roller coaster may depend on your personality.  Psychologists say that there is a certain type of person that naturally seeks out extreme experiences. "They enjoy things like change, variety, and intensity (强度)," says Farley. "These people are actually attracted to thrills."  He describes such people as having Type-T personalities ("T" stands for thrill).

         He also believes that these thrill seekers are more adventurous and creative than other people. Albert Einstein was a Type T. "If nobody liked to seek stimulation (刺激)," he argues, "the human race wouldn't be where it is today."

    1. What is the passage mainly about?

        A. The disadvantages of roller coasters.

        B. The characteristics of roller coasters.

        C. Why many people enjoy roller coasters.

        D. How people act when riding roller coasters.

    2. According to Farley, what will most people feel after riding a roller coaster?

        A. Scared.          B. Confident.    C. Nervous.       D. Relaxed.

    3. If a person is a Type T, he seems to           .

        A. enjoy adventure sports

        B. dislike riding roller coasters

        C. like popular sports

        D. work well with others

    4. According to Farley, to our society, people with Type-T personalities are __

        A. dangerous            B. important    C. useless               D. harmful
