12.最近一段时间,共享单车在城市的大街小巷随处可见,它给人们带来便利的同时,各种问题及不文明现象也随之而来.请你根据所见所闻,说说自己的看法并提出建议,以"Bike Sharing"为题写一篇英语短文.
注意:
1.词数100左右;
2.可适当增加细节,以使行文连贯.
Nowadays bike sharing is increasingly popular in some cities as it provides an effective solution to the"last mile"problem to schools or to workplaces.It is not only a greener method of transportation but also provides a user-friendly experience.However,the new form has also led to problems such as arbitrary parking,deliberate destruction and theft.
I think the bike-sharing service companies have faced a challenge to improve the offline business management to meet the demand of the users.More importantly,every user has responsibility to obey the rules to make the bike-sharing develop in a more standard way.All in all,I hope the new win-win trend could have a bright future..

9.Brain-training software may be a waste of time.People who played"mind-boosting"games made the same modest cognitive gains as those who spent a similar amount of time surfing the web."It didn't really make any difference what people did,"says Adrian Owen of the Medical Research Council Cognition,who tested brain-training software on volunteers recruited through a BBC television program.
Owen and his colleagues asked 11,000 volunteers to take tests to measure their reasoning ability and verbal and spatial(空间的)memory.Participants then spent six weeks playing on one of two computer programs,or just surfing the web for pleasure.In one program,which imitates commercial brain-training software,the volunteers solved simple mathematics problems and puzzles that tested their memories.The other was designed specifically to boost cognitive abilities such as reasoning and planning.
After six weeks,the participants underwent a second round of cognitive tests.Both groups who played the games made modest improvements,yet so did the web surfers.Skills learned via the programs didn't transfer to the cognitive tests,even when they relied on similar abilities,says Owen.For instance,people who played a game in which they had to find a match for a briefly overturned card struggled at a similar test that used stars"hidden"in boxes,"Even when the tests were conceptually quite similar we didn't see any improvement,"says Owen.He concludes that brain-training software only makes people better at the specific tasks they have been practicing.
Yet Klingberg,who founded a cognitive-training firm called Cogmed,is indignant at the conclusion that all brain training is bunk.The participants in Owen's study didn't practice for long enough and there was no quality control over what practice people did,he says."Asking subjects to sit at home and do tests online,perhaps with the TV on or other distractions around,is likely to result in noisy data,"he says."This paper does in no way disprove that the brain is plastic or that cognitive functions can be improved by training."Owen counters that his team's research took place in settings similar to the ones people are likely to practice in."This is what people are doing.They're sitting at home on their computers doing brain training."

32.The purpose of Owen recruiting volunteers to do the first round of tests isA.
A.test their reasoning ability and verbal and spatial memory
B.support the BBC television program in his way
C.prove how much information participants can remember
D.detect differences among people in memorizing information
33.From the second round of cognitive tests,Owen concludes thatD.
A.all participants have made much recognizable improvement dramatically
B.participants have developed reasoning ability to solve complicated problems
C.participants can make greater improvement in solving very similar problems
D.participants performed better in certain tasks they have practiced for a long time
34.What's the meaning of"indignant"?C
A.Surprised.
B.Agreeable.
C.Mad.
D.Dishonest.
35.What is the passage mainly about?A
A.There is a debate about whether brain-training software is effective.
B.We should concentrate on brain-training software in our daily life.
C.Brain-training software is useless to most people.
D.It is important to improve reasoning ability and spatial memory.
