So in 2007, the city began a plan called Velib to improve the situation.Under the Velib plan people can take a bicycle, use it for as long as they want, and then leave it at the same or another bicycle station. The first halfhour on the bike is free, but if you don’t return it after 30 minutes, you have to pay. There are about 20，000 of them in the city, and around 1，450 bicycle statio ns.Paris is not the first city to have a plan like this. Lyon started a “free” bicycle plan many years ago. And not everybody thinks it’s a great idea. One Parisian said, “These bicycles are only for short journeys.”A city spokesman said, “The bicycle plan won’t solve all of traffic problems, of course. But it might reduce pollution levels in the air. Traffic, together with factory smog, is a big problem. Everyone knows about global warming. It’s because there’s so much pollution in the world. The bikes might help people to lead a healthier life, too. There aren’t any simple solutions to traffic problems and pollution in cities. But unless we do something now, there will be more traffic jams and temperatures will continue to rise, so the problems of our environment will get worse.”1.

In prehistoric (史前的) times, people in Africa and Europe painted pictures of animals and people in caves. Graffiti (涂鸦) has been found at ancient sites in Greece, Italy, Syria and Iraq. In the Roman town of Pompeii in Italy, archaeologists found a lot of graffiti written in Latin, including political and romantic messages, and even some magic spells!In the 1970s, young people in New York used pens to write their names, or “tags”, on walls around the city. One of the first “taggers” was Demetrius, a teenager from a Greek family. He wrote his tag on walls in his neighborhood and in subway stations on the way to school. Other teenag ers saw Demetrius’s tag and starte d writing their own tags on walls, buses and subway trains all over New York. Then, some teenagers stopped using pens and started using paints. Their tags were bigger and more colourful and appeared on trains, buses and walls around the world. In the 1990s and 2000s, a lot of graffiti artists started to make pictures too.In many countries, i t is a crime to paint on walls and s treet artists can have problems with the police. In other countries, street art is permitted in certain places. Nowadays, street art is more popular with the public. In some cities, there are street art festivals. In Bristol in the UK, there is a street art festival in August every year. Artists paint all the buildings in a street. Lots of people come to watch the artists and take photos. Street art can be seen in galleries (美术馆) too. There have been exhibitions of street art in galleries in Paris, London and Los Angeles.Most street artists are young people who paint in their neighborhood or home city. Many of them use the Internet to communicate and share photos of their pictures with other street artists around the world. Although we don’t know what will happen to street art in the future, we can be sure that it is here to stay!6.

A professor in music and music education at the University of NSW, Robert Walker .argues that all students should study t he works of Western classical composers such as Haydn and Tchaikovsky.Professor Walker says students are missing out on an important part of the culture heritage(遗产)because they fail to study classical music ,as the little music that children learn at school is mainly pop. The lack(缺乏)of music teaching is serious, especially in government schools where there are not enough specialist(专业的) music teachers.A national review in 2005 made 15 suggestions ,but Professor Walker said it still failed to deal with the lack of classical music taught in schools.“I’m not against pop music, but it’s very simple and not difficult either to play or to sing,”ProfessorWalker says.”But classical music is challenging and although it is part of America’s culture heritage ,most children learn it only through Hollywood films.”“At least children ought to know what’s happening in Western culture .It’s part of culture heritage,”he says.”Asian students know more about Western classical music than most children in the West.”Professor Walker has taught music and music teachers in Britain , Canada and Australia and is a former chief(首席的) examiner for the International Baccalaureate and a former chairman of the research committee of the International Society for Music Education. Professor Walker says no school curriculum(课程) in Australia lists a piece of music that children should study, such as the Mendelssohn’s.“This lack of standard texts means that some children can be brought up totally on Western classical music,others on Elvis Presley,or on any music the teacher wants to teach .The situation should be changed as soon as possible,”he says.11.What’s the problem in music education in Professor Walker’s opinion?A.Children know nothing about their culture heritage.B.Classical music education isn’t valued in schools.C.Pop music is simple and not difficult to play and sing.D.
