课后阅读训练十一Unit 3Period 3Ⅰ. 阅读理解AIn the Netherlands, cycling isn’t seen as an eco-friendly exercise;it’s part of everyday life, as it’s people’s top choice to school and work. “There are more bicycles than residents in the Netherlands. In cities like Amsterdam and The Hague, up to 70 percent of all journeys are made by bike, ”said BBC.So how did cycling become such a popular means of transportation in the European country?In the 1970s, the Dutch government began to improve its cycling infrastructure(基础设施)due to both a social movement demanding safer cycling condition for children and the oil crisis in the Middle East, when oil producing countries stopped their exports to Western Europe.To make cycling safer and more appealing, the Dutch have built the widest cycling network in the world. The country has over 40, 000 kilometers of bicycle lanes and paths, which are clearly marked. They have smooth surfaces, separate signs and lights for those on two wheels.The lanes are wide enough to allow side-by-side cycling and passing.In many cities the bike lanes are completely segregated(隔离的)from motorized traffic. And in many traffic situations cyclists are given priority(优先权)over drivers. Sometimes, where space is limited and both must share, you can see signs showing an image of a cyclist with a car behind accompanied by the words“Bike Street: Cars are guests”.As young people aren’t allowed to drive alone until they are 18, cycling offers Dutch teenagers an alternative form of freedom. The government also makes cycling training lessons a compulsory part of the Dutch school curriculum(课程).Bike parking facilities are everywhere in the country. Cyclists are accommodated in the way motorists are elsewhere. Take Groningen, a city in the northeastern part of the Netherlands, for example. The city’s central train station has underground parking for 10, 000 bikes.For many Dutch people, bikes are trusty friends for life’s adventures. In that kind of relationship it is longevity(长寿)that matters—that’s why many Dutch people ride older bikes.【语篇概述】本文主要介绍了荷兰这个国家的人骑自行车现象。

BAt the beginning of this year, I decided I was going to quit Facebook.I t was challenging, but I made it. And three months later, I’ve learned a few interesting things.I’m no longer surrounded by information that I don’t want. I don’t have to look at new baby pictures posted by someone I haven’t spoken to for 10 years, or read different opinions on whether the dress is blue or white. Instead, I can choose to read news, or get together with a friend to talk about her most recent vacation. Life without Facebook is peaceful.Sure, the first few days felt strange and uncomfortable. To ease thetransition, I replaced some of my Facebook use with things like Instagram and Pinterest. I was also worried I would be missing out socially. As a matter of fact I do communicate with far fewer people now. But I’m having close relationships with the people that I actively seek out. You can really live without Facebook.People were shocked. My mom took it pretty hard. “How will I know what city you’re in this week? How do I know who you’re hanging out with? ”she asked me after I told her I’d quit Facebook. Friends and family knew about my situation through my Facebook profile. I guess it’s no surprise that going through someone’s Facebook page to stay up-to-date on their lives is preferable to just picking up the phone.So many of the apps we use every day are tied to our Facebook profiles. Living in San Francisco, Lyft is my primary method of transportation, and though I was able to ask them to keep my account without Facebook, I no longer had a picture in my profile and drivers looked at me strangely when I got into their cars. I can no longer use Getaround—my primary way of getting out of the city—because you can’t use it at all without Facebook.【语篇概述】本文主要通过作者不再使用手机应用程序脸谱网后的经历, 告诉我们脸谱网在人们生活中的影响。
