The mayor of San Francisco supportsthe bicycle program. He wants to improve theterrible traffic problems in the city.At first, 40 to 60 bikes will be available only to city workers. Peoplewill give their old bikes to the city to use in the program. If this programis successful, one day more than 1,000 bicycles will be available. Everyone,not just city workers, will be able to use these bicycles.People in Fresno, California already have a free bicycle program. In fact,this idea began in Amsterdam over 40 years ago. These programs encouragecitizens to get out of their cars and onto pollution-free bikes.Fresno’s Yell ow Bike Program puts about forty bicycles around the city.The bikes are painted bright yellow so people know they can take them. Whenpeople take a yellow bike, they can ride to work or to shopping areas, andthen leave the bike for the next rider.Some people worry that the free bikes will be stolen. However, thefthasn’t been a problem in free-bike cities by now.While most people think the bike program is a good idea, only a few saythey will use it. “I will still drive my car,” says Joanna Greene. “SanFrancisco has a lot of hills. My office is at the top of Potrero Hill. Idon’t think I’m in good shape. And,wouldn’t I have to carry a helmet with me all the time?”Phil Chung agrees, “There is too much traffic. Riding a bicycle can be dangerous. There are not very many bike lanes.” He continues, “Plus, it’s too cold in the winter. And what if you ride a bike to work, and then there isn’t one to ride home?”Program leaders know there will be problems. But they think it’s worth trying. “It’s not the solution for everyone,” states Sylvia Pass. “But if just one hundred people use it every day, that’s one hu ndred cars thataren’t on the streets, one hundred parking spaces that aren’t used. I think it’s a great beginning.”66. San Francisco provides bicycles to the public because ______. A. there are many bikes available B. many people don’t have cars of their own C. many other cities have already done soD. the traffic problems are terrible67. The following statements are the disadvantages of free-bike program in Sam Francisco EXCEPT that ______.A. free bikes will be stolenB. San Francisco is not flat at allC. riding a bike is not safe enoughD. it will be too cold in the winter 68. What does “I’m in good shape” in the sixth paragraph mean? A. I’m beautiful. B. I’m healthy and strong.C. I have a good figure.D. I’m heavy and strong.69. The program leaders think the program is worth trying NOT because______. A. there will be more problems B. they can’t solve problems for everyoneC. there will be fewer cars on the streets anywayD. there will be more parking spacesBWe’ve all heard the phrase “love is patient”, but one couple in Michigan, took this phrase to a whole new level.

In some cities, thousands of people are already 24 in the streets because there is so little suitable housing—and because 25 are so high. The crime rate isn’t going down. 26 , it is 27 so fast that many people are afraid to go out at night. Traffic jams are so bad that cars don’t move at all for several blocks. These 28 problems have been getting worse, not better, so many people see no 29 for the future of the city.However, not all people believe in the horrible 30 for cities of the future.

In order to find Asia they had to find a way past South America. The man who finally found the way from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific was Ferdinand Magellan. Magellan sailed from Seville in August, 1519 with five ships and about 280 men. Fourteen months later, after spending the cold winter on the coast of Patagonia, he discovered the channel which is now called Magellan Strait(海峡). In November, 1520, after many months of dangers from rocks and storms, the three remaining ships entered the ocean on the other side of South America.They then continued, hoping to reach Asia. But they did not see any land until they reached the islands off the coast of Asia. Before they arrived at these islands, later known as the Philippines, men were dying of starvation. While they were staying in the Philippines, Magellan was killed in battle. The remaining officers then had to get back to Spain. They decided to sail round Africa. After many difficulties, one ship with eighteen men sailed into Seville three years after leaving. They were all that remained of Magellan’s expedition. However, their achievement was great. They were the first men to sail round the world.39.

What Is a Mother to YouDSACRAMENTO(New York Times)—The 2005 Best Ten Citizens of Charity have been honored today by the city government, one of whom is Ms Myrtle Smith. To answer our reporter’s why-question, she told us the following story which, as she put it, had led her to the work for the less fortunate people.It was Thanksgiving morning and in the crowded kitchen of my small home I was busy preparing the traditional Thanksgiving turkey when the doorbell rang. I opened the front door and saw two small children in rags huddling together inside the storm door on the top step.“Any old papers, lady?” asked one of them.I was busy. I wanted to say “no”until I looked down at their feet. They were wearing thin little sandals(凉鞋), wet with heavy snow.“Come in and I’ll make you a cup of hot cocoa.”They walked over and sat down at the table. Their wet sandals left marks upon the floor. I served them cocoa and bread with jam to fight against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started again on my household budget.The silence in the front room struck me. I looked in. The girl held the empty cup in her hands,looking at it. The boy asked in a flat voice, “Lady, are you rich?”“Am I rich? Mercy, no!”I looked at my shabby slipcovers(家具套). The girl put her cup back in its saucer(茶碟) carefully and said, “Your cups match your saucers.”Her voice was hungry with a need that no amount of food could supply. They left after that, holding their bundles of papers against the wind. They h adn’t said “Thank you.” They didn’t need to. They had reminded me that I had so much for which to be grateful.Plain blue china cups and saucers were only worth five pence. But they matched.I tasted the potatoes and stirred the meat soup. Potatoes and brown meat soup, a roof over our heads, my man with a good steady job—these matched, too.I moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room. The muddy prints of small sandals were still wet upon my floor. Let them be for a while, I thought, just in case I should begin to forget how rich I am. And from then on I can’t help doing more.Ms Smith concluded her story with a very sweet smile that was worth millions of dollars, even an amount no one could figure out how large!Sure enough, sometimes a very small matter counts much when it is big enough to change one’s life a little and great enough to make one feel moved and eager to do things one has even never thought of, which oftentimes brings benefits.47.

This kind of surgery is called cosmetic surgery (整形手术), and both menand women are turning to this treatment as a way of keeping their appearance young as well as keeping competitive in their jobs. Men especially are beginning to turn to face-lifts, liposuction (taking fat out of the body), and implants (putting man-made parts into their bodies) to help them look younger. As companies downsize and move younger employees into higher positions, older employees in their late forties and early fifties feel the need to look and act younger in order to stay competitive. A younger look through cosmetic surgery may give an older employee a few more years on the job.These operations are not without dangers, however. One young woman had an eye operation to get rid of the bags under her eyes. She described her experience as terrible. She said, “When he started cutting, I was fully awake. Even though he’d given me an inj ection(注射) near my eyes, I saw everything.”She went on to explain, “I knew I had to keep still because of what he was doing. He was removing fat under my eyes. It took about ten minutes. After he finished I felt I couldn’t walk. I was so weak.”Her troubles did not end after the operation. For two weeks, her eyes were swollen and almost completely closed, and even dark glasses could not hide the side effects of the operation.Liposuction is probably the most popular cosmetic operation in the United States. It seems simple enough. First, a small cut is made over the places where the patient wants the fat removed. Next, a small pipe is put into the cut. A machine is then turned on, and the fat is taken right out of the body. However, as one doctor explained, some problems can happen after the operation. He warned, “Irregular lumps(块) and loose skin can result from this operation. If it is not completely done, liposuction can produ ce a very lumpy result.” Patients often must have more liposuctions to correct the problem.52. What is the main idea of the first paragraph?A.
