题目列表(包括答案和解析)

  The bicycle is one of the simplest yet most useful inventions(发明)in the world.What is most surprising is that it was not invented earlier, although the great inventor Leonardo da Vinci had drawn pictures for bicycles and also for flying machines and some other things.Those things were not produced(生产)until long after he died.

  A person riding a bicycle uses little energy(能量)to make the bicycle move, and there is no pollution(污染)at all when you are riding.Even so, in developed countries, most people don’t travel to work by bicycle.It is not because the bicycles are expensive or people feel tired if they ride to work.It’s because the number of cars on the roads becomes larger.It certainly becomes more dangerous to ride a bicycle.As a result, more people put their bicycles away and go to work in their cars and, in this way, the situation(情形)is made more serious.Perhaps the best way to make riding safer and more popular is to create paths(开设通道)only for bicycles, and to make it so difficult and expensive for drivers to take their cars into the city that they will go back to using their bicycles.

  Bicycles, a long-forgotten vehicle that seems to belong to the last century, are returning to the streets of Guangzhou, as the city starts to ban the running of motorcycle in urban Guangzhou.

  “Business has never been so good for my shop,” said Chen Yongwu, a bicycle shop owner at the city's Donghua West Road, “I have to work 12 hours a day to meet the demand of my customers.”

  “Even my wife and brother-in-law have to give me a hand lately.”

  Chen originally ran a motorcycle repair shop.He grasped the opportunity of the motorcycle ban, and started his bicycle business soon after hearing about the banning.

  “I sold 23 bicycles on January 2 alone.” Said Chen.

  Bicycle is more convenient and healthier

  “My home is one kilometer from the metro station,” said a middle-aged man who is waiting for his bicycle at Chen's shop, “it is too tiresome to walk to the station, but taking a bus for such a short distance is a waste of money.”

  “So I decided to buy a bicycle.”

  The bicycle costs around 600 yuan, which is equal to the bus fare of half a year.

  “Besides, riding a bicycle to work is much healthier than riding a bus.”

  The bicycle buyers can be categorized into two groups.One group of buyers buy the bicycles for the transportation of small commodities; the other ride the bicycles to work.

  Arising problems

  Riding a bicycle to work may be healthy, but it is not without problems.

  The lack of bicycle lanes has posed a big threat to the safety of the bicycle riders in Guangzhou.

  “I was riding my bicycle on Huifu West Road on day,” said Mr.Zhang, “then suddenly the bus pulled over besides me near the bus station.”

  “I was so frightened at the time, because the bus nearly hit me.”

  The sideways in Guangzhou are usually crowded with foot passengers, so citizens also could not use the sideways.

  “It is worse than walking.”

  Besides, finding a place a park the bicycles could be very difficult, much more difficult then finding a place to park your car.

Different weather makes people feel different.It influences health, intelligence(智力) and feelings.

  In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States.People there have heart trouble and other kinds of health problems during this month.In the Northeast and the Middle West, it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times.People in these states(州) have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March.

   The weather can also influence intelligence.For example, in a 1983 report by scientists, IQ(智商) of a group of students was very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10% lower.The wind can help people have more intelligence.Very hot weather, on the other hand, can make it lower.Students in many schools of the United States often get worse on exams in the hot months of the year (July and August).

  Weather also has a strong influence on people’s feelings.Winter may be a bad time for thin people.They usually feel cold during these months.They might feel unhappy during cold weather.But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer.At about 18℃, people become stronger.

 Low air pressure(气压) may make people forgetful(健忘).People leave more bags on buses and in shops on low-pressure days.People feel best at a temperature of about 18℃.

Are you feeling sad, tired, forgetful, or unhappy today? It may be the weather’s problem.

Different weather makes people feel different. It influences health, intelligence(智力) and feelings.

  In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States. People there have heart trouble and other kinds of health problems during this month. In the Northeast and the Middle West, it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times. People in these states(州) have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March.

  The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a 1983 report by scientists, IQ(智商) of a group of students was very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10% lower. The wind can help people have more intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand, can make it lower. Students in many schools of the United States often get worse on exams in the hot months of the year (July and August).

  Weather also has a strong influence on people’s feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They usually feel cold during these months. They might feel unhappy during cold weather. But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer. At about 18℃, people become stronger.
