New Yorkers are gradually getting used to more bicyclers on those hot blue City Bikes.But what about local bike shops? Is City Bike rolling up riders at their expense? At Gotham Bikes in Tribeca,manager W.Ben said the shop has seen an increase in its overall sales due to the bike-share program.“It’s getting more people on the road,”he said.James Ryan,an employee at Danny’s Cycles,said City Bike is a good option for people to ease in a city famous for its traffic jams.“They can try out a bike without buying one.”he said.

Rentals are not a big part of the business at either Gotham Bikes or Danny’s Cycles.But for Frank’s Bike Shop,a small business on Christopher St.,the bike—share program has been bad news.Owner Frank Arroyo said his rental business has decreased by 90% since City Bike was rolled out last month.Arroyo’s main rental customers are European tourists,who have since been drawn away by City Bikes.

However,Ben said the bike—share is good for bike sales at his shop.“People have used the bike—share and realized how great it is to bike in the city,then decide that they want something Dicer for themselves,”he noted.Andrew Crooks,owner of NYC Velo,at 64 Second Ave.,said at first he Was concerned about bike—share,though,he admitted,“I was happy to see people on bikes.It seemed like a great idea,but one that would be difficult to implement(实施).”Crooks said he worried about inexperienced riders’ lack of awareness of biking rules and strong negative reaction from non—cyclists.However,he said.it’s still too early to tell if his business has been impacted.While it’s possible that bike—share will cause a drop in business,Crooks thought that the idea was a positive step forward for New York City.

Imagine this: you get up in the morning and put on a custom printed T-shirt. Then you eat some 3-D printed food and relax on your printed sofa. Perhaps you take a ride in a printed electric car to the hospital to get a printed tooth fitted.

Though some of these things may seem impossible, they’re closer to reality than you might think. The world of 3-D printing is coming to a store near you soon.

The idea of 3-D printing is to produce complicated shapes in a very personalized way. If you want to make a totally new object, you need to make a virtual design in a CAD(computer aided design)file first. Or you can use a 3-D scanner to make a digital copy of an object. Then, based on the design or copy, the 3-D printer makes paper-thin slices out of liquid, plastic, or metal and puts them together to create the object you want.

There are many areas in which 3-D printing can change our lives. One such area is health care. Researchers have developed simple 3-D printed organs, which can be used in life-saving operations. A 17-year-old boy in the US has also recently developed a brain-powered, 3-D printed replacement hand. From heart monitors to fake limbs(四肢), we can soon be living longer thanks to 3-D printed technology.

Another area that 3-D technology looks sure to change is food. Can you imagine being able to print your favorite dishes at home at the touch of a button? Even big companies are behind the trend. Hersheys, one of the largest chocolate makers in the world, recently announced that it would start producing chocolate with the help of 3-D printers. NASA, the US space agency, has reportedly spent $125,000 (767,594 yuan) developing a “3-D pizza printer”.

It is not yet clear how long it will take until 3-D printers are available to everyone. But one thing is for sure: the possibilities are endless.

1.The purpose of the first paragraph is to ________.

A. list some major 3-D printing breakthroughs

B. describe the characters of 3-D printing

C. picture a future life with 3-D printing

D. describe the benefits that 3-D printing has brought to our lives

2.Compared with traditional manufacturing procedures, 3-D printing ________.

A. isn’t practical in daily life

B. relies less heavily on the use of 3-D scanners

C. can produce complicated products in larger sizes or numbers

D. has an advantage in meeting the personal needs

3.We can infer from the article that ________.

A. there is still a long way to go before everyone can have access to 3-D printing

B. 3-D printed organs and limbs are as effective as real ones

C. big food companies are major players in the 3-D printing industry

D. people can create any object with any material by 3-D printing

4.What can be the best title for the text?

A. What is 3-D printing?

B. A new technology-3-D printing.

C. How to use 3-D printing?

D. The development of 3-D printing.

Think about the last time you felt afraid. Was it a fear of height? Did you oversleep on a weekday and fear you’d get into trouble at the office? In any case, you know what it feels like to feel fear.

But one woman doesn’t The woman, code-named “UM”, gave her first-ever interview after years of being studied by a team of researchers. The woman is given a code name because the researchers want to protect her from anyone who would take advantage of her inability to feel afraid.

UM can’t tell you what fear is because she’s never experienced it. “I wonder what it’s like to actually be afraid of something,” she said. The formal name for the disease is Urbach-Wieth disease, which is characterized by a hoarse(粗哑的)voice,small bumps around the eyes, and calcium deposits(钙沉积的)in the brain.

In the case of UM,the disease has transformed the part of her brain that controls the human response to fear. In the interview, UM talks about an event in her life where she was held at knifepoint and gunpoint, “I was walking to the store,and I saw a man on a park bench.He said. “Come here,please,” so I went over to him. He grabbed me by the shirt,put a knife to my throat and told me he was going to cut me. I told him, “Go ahead and cut me,” I wasn’t afraid at all. And for some reason,he let me go.”

Doctors who have been studying UM’s condition for years have been trying different things that could strike fear into her. They finally figured something out—increasing UM’s carbon dioxide levels.Extra carbon dioxide concentration in the blood is known to cause fear and panic in health individuals. Increasing UM’s carbon dioxide levels did manage to give her a fright.

1.The text starts by_______.

A. challenging the reader

B. solving daily problems

C. listing situations

D. giving explanations

2.Why is the woman with Urbach-Wieth disease given a code name?

A. To tell her case from other patients

B. To respect her privacy

C. To meet the researchers’ demands

D. To ensure her safety

3.From UM’s case,we can know that Urbach-Wieth disease may________.

A. stop the brain from functioning normally

B. lead to a decrease in calcium deposits

C. stop the brain from responding quickly

D. lead to an increase in carbon dioxide

4.What will probably happen to UM from the last paragraph?

A. Dying of the Urbach-Wieth disease.

B. Getting the sense of panic.

C. Experiencing another danger.

D. Speaking with a hoarse voice.

There are times in life when things don’t go as expected. Perhaps an important project of yours ended up in failure. Or you got laid off from your job. Whatever it is, it might make you depressed.

1. Calm down

Before anything else, calm yourself down. Don’t panic. 2. . You can only apply the tips below if you are calm.

2. 3.

When you’re depressed, it’s easy to fall into a cycle of negative thoughts, which makes things look worse than they actually are. It’s important that you break this cycle so that you don’t become a victim of your own thoughts. You may read spiritual texts, motivational books, or inspiring quotes. You may also listen to positive tapes.

3. Remember good things

Our minds tend to focus on the negative and not the positive. 4. . Remember the good things in your life. Remember the good people around you.

4. Forgive

Sometimes one reason you feel bad is because you don’t forgive. Perhaps you had made mistakes in the past and you blamed yourself for it. You need to forgive yourself. Or perhaps someone mistreated you. 5. . I know it’s easier said than done, but as Mahatma Gandhi said: The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.

Would you eat a ready meal from the fridge rather than cook from scratch? Have you been doing Internet shopping rather than going to the stores? What can’t you be bothered to do?

A study into how lazy British people are has found more than half of adults are so idle that they’d catch the lift rather than climb two flights of stairs.

Just over 2,000 people were quizzed by independent researchers at Nuffield Health, Britain’s largest health charity. The results were startling.

About one in six people surveyed said if their remote control was broken, they would continue watching the same channel rather than get up.

More than one third of those questioned said they would not run to catch a bus. Worryingly, of the 654 respondents with children, 64% said they were often too tired to play with them.

This led the report to conclude that it’s no wonder that one in six children in the UK are classified as obese before they start school. Dr Sarah Dauncey, medical director of Nuffield Health, said, “People need to get fitter, not just for their own sake, but for the sake of their families, friends and evidently their pets too. If we don’t start to take control of this problem, a whole generation will become too unfit to perform even the simple tasks.”

And Scotland’s largest city, Glasgow, was shamed as the most indolent city in the UK, with 75% surveyed admitting they do not get enough exercise, followed closely by Birmingham and Southampton, both with 67%.

The results pose serious challenges for the National Health Service, where obesity?related illnesses such as heart disease and cancer have been on a steady increase for the past 40 years and are costing billions of pounds every year.

1.What do lazy British people probably choose to do?

A. Go to stores. B. Catch the lift.

C. Cook from scratch. D. Climb flights of stairs.

2.How many people surveyed don’t play with children because of tiredness?

A. About 419. B. About 333.

C. About 654. D. About 1280.

3.What is the potential result of more and more people, including children, getting obese?

A. People will not get enough exercise.

B. People will not have enough money.

C. People will not be able to do the easy job.

D. People will not cure themselves of heart disease.

4.What is the author’s attitude towards the finding of the study?

A. Indifferent. B. Doubtful.

C. Negative. D. Supportive.
