There’re plenty of bike stations near parks and other car-free areas. The programs we looked at in major cities work the same way. You buy a 24-hour pass. During the time, you get an unlimited number of 30-minute rides. If you go over your given half-hour ride time, you start paying fees for each following 30-minute period. Here are some of the biggest bike-share program in America.
Minneapolis: Nice Ride Minnesota
Station : Minnehaha Ave. & Minnehaha Pkwy
How much: $ 6 for a 24-hour pass.
How it works: The first 30 minutes are included in the pass; $ 1.50 for the second 30 minutes; $ 4.50 for the third 30 minutes; later $ 6 for every half an hour.

22、 Each year, the makers of the World Happiness Report survey people from more than 150 countries and try to explain a recipe for bliss (极乐). Wealth, to some extent, tends to raise contentedness, but several regions are more satisfied than their money alone can explain. Some secrets to a happy existence include solid social support, a long life expectancy, plenty of freedom, and a lack of corruption (腐败).
Somalis (索马里人) enjoy close families, as their national culture tends to put family in the first place. The resulting support network of female relatives lessens the burdens of childcare on working mothers. Despite a civil war that’s been going on since 1991, surveys suggest it’s one of the most contented countries in Africa.
Most Central Asian nations remain dictatorships(独裁), so Uzbekistan (乌兹别克斯坦) stands out within the region— and the World Happiness Report indicates that a sense of freedom is a big mood booster. The country has taken some temporary steps against the strict and cruel government since long-term dictator Islam Karimov’s death in 2016, making the Uzbeks hopeful.
Costa Rica’s Nicoya Peninsula (柯雅半岛) is a “ Blue Zone” — a place where locals frequently live past 100. The national average is 81 years, which is already far above Latin America’s average of 75. This longevity varies relatively little across income levels: The poorest Costa Ricans die at a rate 1.5 times higher than the wealthiest, while in the US it’s closer to 3.4.
Despite bone-chilling winters, Finland is the happiest country on Earth. Slimmer wage gaps and government approval like long-term paid parental leave and free health care might be key; these benefits relieve stressors, giving citizens fewer reasons to frown.
【1】According to paragraph 1, which of the following factors contribute to a happy existence?
① a long lifespan ② a low birth rate ③ solid social support ④ wealth and freedom
A．①②③
B．①②④
C．①③④
D．②③④
【2】What do Somalis and Finland have in common, according to the article?
A．They have similar GDP levels.
B．They have pleasant weather conditions.
C．They have peaceful national atmosphere.
D．They have sound systems for married females.
【3】In the case of Costa Rica, which of the following statements is true?
A．Costa Rica is wealthier than the US.
B．Costa Rica is known for its slim wage gaps.
C．Personal income has little to do with longevity.
D．Few locals are over a hundred years old.
【4】From which is the text probably taken?
A．A textbook
B．A magazine
C．Instructions
D．A brochure
23、Is Listening to a Book Better than Reading It?
Picture yourself sitting at home in a quiet reading space, ignoring the world around you, absorbed in a tale. You read the introduction, instantly became interested and now you’re in the middle of an absolute page-turner. But, there’s a hot debate — physical books vs. e-books vs. audiobooks. Does the device you’re using to read affect your reaction to the book?
【1】 There’s attention span, reasoning, reading fluency, memory and language comprehension. Reading is known to strengthen communicative ability, vocabulary and increase emotional intelligence and social awareness. So, whichever way you’re reading, there are definitely benefits.
But, let’s look at the pros to reading with your eyes — that’s physical books and e-books. 【2】 This is because when you can actually see the words, your attention is held more closely. Add to this the fact that with physical books you can go back and find any part you missed, especially if your mind wanders, which will likely happen at some point or other.
On the other hand, there’s the audiobook. Headphones in, you’re switched off from life and the story really comes alive, almost like watching a film — in your head. From a scientific perspective, listening to an audiobook is likely to help you develop a fellow feeling as you hear the emotion of the narrator. 【3】 Hearing the story engages different parts of the brain, increasing the intensity and imagery, making you enjoy it more. Yet, going back to attention period, with an audiobook it’s true that it’s much harder to go back and listen again.
【4】 Perhaps, next time you find yourself browsing bookshop shelves, also consider the format. It may just change your whole literary experience.
A．They help us become continuous readers.
B．They can help to remember information better.
C．Generally, reading uses several areas of the brain.
D．We can more easily understand the changes in tones.
E．All in all, it seems that there are advantages to both physical books and audiobooks.
F．According to a research from Oxford University, audio books affect our reading reaction most.
24、 The coffee giant Starbucks is once again a popular search on the Internet, and there are people who think that coffee is now replacing tea as the most popular drink in China. But, is that really so?
Starbucks opened its biggest café shop in the world in Shanghai this Wednesday. The coffee giant says this will not only give customers the usual great coffee, but also give them the full experience of how the magical coffee beans get roasted to become those wonderful drops that make up their favorite drinks. It is like the Willy Wonka factory for coffee lovers. The company is expanding aggressively, and opening a new store every 15 hours on average in China.
China has very rich and splendid tea culture. What seems like the most enjoyable thing is to drink a cup of tea on a quiet day that is full of “Zen” (禅) spirit. But the fast-pace of life sometimes doesn’t allow that. So there are tea shop owners locating their shops in the downtown area in order to provide quick service for customers. Take Heytea for example. It’s one of the most highly rated tea shops and it has now opened several new branches in the business areas of big cities like Beijing. Waiting in lines for longer than one hour is common. China’s consumption of tea is immeasurable. According to a research of USC Institute, in China, the average person consumes 400 cups of tea per year.
So it is unlikely that coffee can replace tea as the country’s main drink any time soon. The expanding coffee shops are not there to replace tea, but to provide people with another choice that they can use to enjoy life.
