26、Whether it’s to improve your fitness, health or environment, taking up bicycle riding can be one of the best decisions you have ever made.
Save the planet
【1】. Twenty bicycles can be parked in the same space as one car. It takes around 5 percent of the materials and energy used to make a car to build a bike, and a bike produces zero pollution.
【2】.
Cycling just 20 miles a week reduces your risk of heart disease to less than half that of those who take no exercise. Studies from Purdue University in the US have shown that regular cycling can cut your risk of heart disease by 50 percent.
Enjoy healthy family time
Cycling is an activity the whole family can do together. It’s kind on your joints, and there’s nothing to stop grandparents joining in too. Moreover, your riding habit can be sowing the seeds for your kids.【3】. Put simply, if your kids see you riding regularly, they will think it’s normal and want to follow your example.
Increase your brain power
Do you want to be smarter and increase your brain power?【4】. That’s because cycling helps build new brain cells in the hippocampus—the part responsible for memory which goes worse from the age of 30. 【5】. It increases blood flow and oxygen to the brain.
Make you happy
Even if you’re not in a good mood, just three 30-minute rides a week can be enough to give people the lift they need.

28、April 22nd every year marks the beginning of Earth Day. Started in the year 1970, it is now celebrated in more than 190 countries each year. Every year, the event is celebrated under a different theme. The theme for 2016 is “Trees for the Earth”.
However, Earth Day is not just an event to be celebrated on one specific day. It is primarily a reminder for all to do our rightful duty every day to save our planet. Below, we have made a list of four things you can do to celebrate Earth Day (apart from planting trees).
Leave your cars at home. Cars, being the greatest source of air pollution, can be left at home this weekend. Travelling via public transport is the better option. Ride a bike or walk if your workplace is not that far away from your home.
Be a little dirty. We don't mean it “that” way. We simply mean to say, don't take a bath. A day or two without a bath won't harm you, but it will certainly do a lot of good for our planet. A daily shower isn't a matter of health; it's a matter of comfort.
Volunteer yourself. This is one of the best things you can do. It will do you good too. Join other like-minded individuals in a common task, such as planting trees, cleaning a park or simply coming up with ways you can preserve mother Earth.
Green-up your home. This is one of the most common things that people do, that is, switch off your lights. However, this is not something you should do just for a day and for only an hour. Switch off all power electricity points whenever they are not in use.
You know what the best way to celebrate Earth Day is? Extend your celebrations. That's right! Do something every day that will improve your surroundings to make the planet a better place to live in. Always remember that every step, every action counts.
【1】Why is Earth Day started?
A.To help people live a healthier life.
B.To call on people to plant trees.
C.To help protect the environment.
D.To use less natural recourses.
【2】What does the author mean by saying “Be a little dirty”?
A.To save water.
B.Never to take a bath.
C.Don't shower on Earth Day.
D.Showering daily is bad to health.
【3】What is the best way to celebrate Earth Day according to the author?
A.To go to work on foot.
B.To be a volunteer.
C.To save electricity.
D.To do small things daily.
【4】Where is the passage from?
A.An environmental magazine
B.A science report
C.A geography text
D.A travel advertisement
29、 You’ve probably heard that brick-and-mortar retail(实体零售) is in trouble. Even industry giants are closing hundreds of stores. Given retail’s gradual change from physical stores to mobile and e-commerce(电子商务), you may be wondering, “What will retail look like in the future?” Nobody knows. But here are a few things you can expect to see based on current technology.
Super-fast delivery is coming. Today, the normal practice is two-day delivery. But if you’ve been paying attention, you know that’s changing. In fact, up to 25% of consumers said that they would abandon their orders if one-day delivery wasn’t available. Of course, that’s just the beginning. Two-hour delivery is coming in the foreseeable future, and Amazon has already been trying 30-minute delivery.
Your kitchen will resupply itself. You won’t have to worry about running out of essentials like coffee, pet food or snacks because your containers will sense stocks(库存) and replace those items without you having to lift a finger. No more waking up to find your coffee store is empty or last-minute rush to the grocery store because you forget to buy pet food.
Know exactly what’s in stock and where to get it. Have you ever gone to a store hoping to buy something, only to learn that it was out of stock? A new feature from Google Home allows people to ask the Google Assistant to find in-stock products at the closest store. For example: “Google, where can I find the Nintendo Switch console?” The assistant will tell you how many stores have it right away and how close they are. Of course, it isn’t currently available for all stores in all locations, but you can already see the future when it has become standard.
Convenience, experience, and options-retail will take on a new look.
【1】How does the author develop the passage?
A.By analyzing and commenting.
B.By clarifying and describing.
C.By asking and answering.
D.By comparing and concluding.
【2】What can we know from Paragraph 2?
A.It is possible to deliver goods within two hours in the future.
B.Consumers can’t get their orders in one day now.
C.The delivery will be in two days in the future.
D.Super-fast delivery has widely been used now.
【3】According to the passage, what will happen in the future?
A.Retail will disappear gradually.
B.Industrial giants will rule the whole retail trade.
C.People will ask the Google Assistant to purchase goods.
D.Shopping will be more convenient and effective.
【4】What’s the best title for the passage?
A.How Will New Technology Change the World?
B.What Will Retail Be Like in the Future?
C.How Will We Run the Retail Trade in the Future?
D.What Benefits Will High-tech Bring in the Future?
