21、 Dressed in a dark blue waterproof (防水) jacket, outdoor shoes and a small backpack, 25-year-old Ye Tian tries to get in an abandoned coking plant in Beijing.
An intern (实习生) for a German company in Beijing, Ye is among thousands of youth interested in city adventures, which they call urban exploration-4urbex' for short.
The aim of this trending (流行) hobby is to explore structures — usually abandoned ruins or hidden areas of the manmade environment. Urban explorers are interested in these sites because they can understand cities from a different angle. Ye, for example, said he enjoyed the contrast between Beijing's two sides.
Widely known scenic spots and historical sites can only reflect the bright side of the city, or what the city wants you to see, Ye said. “But abandoned places show you the past (that is) hidden deep in people's memories."
In the eyes of Pan Ran, who is in her early 30s and works in Canada, an abandoned building can also evoke (引起，唤起) the spirits of those who lived and worked there.
“There are diaries and letters recording the owner's lives,” she said. “And one time, I found a whole box of 8-millimeter videotapes of a family?
Pan couldn't watch the tapes at the site, as the power supply had been cut. She didn't take them away with her either, as there is a very important rule of urbex that you can't remove any souvenirs from a site", Pan said.
While urban exploration can get people to extraordinary places that few have visited, it's sometimes dangerous. Climbing up tall buildings and tip-toeing through abandoned structures can sometimes be a life-threatening affair.
Injuries and even death are not unheard of within the urbex community.
"In the beginning, I was pretty audacious and believed the riskier the places you go, the better photos you get," said Du Tianyu, 22. "But that is not necessarily the case. After doing my calculations, I learned to stop when I reach the limit."
【1】According to the text, why do urban explorers like to visit abandoned places?
A.To escape the crowdedness of cities.
B.To take breathtaking pictures.
C.To appreciate different aspects of a city.
D.To know about the lives of the people who left.
【2】What does Pan say is an important rule of urban exploration?
A.Don't take things from a site.
B.Don't buy souvenirs when exploring structures.
C.Only explore abandoned sites with long histories.
D.Share travel diaries or journals within the urbex community.
【3】The underlined word “audacious” in the last paragraph probably means_____ .
A.cautious B.adventurous
C.passionate D.curious
【4】What's the best title for the passage?
A.Travel in Big Cities B.Visit a City's Historical Sites
C.Experience a City's Life D.See a City's Secrets
22、Traffic problems are an everyday concern in many cities, including Washington, DC. A growing number of Washingtonians are turning to bicycles to get to and from work. In fact, the number of commuters who use bicycles has doubled in the city since 2007.
Ralph Buehler teaches urban planning at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, popularly known as Virginia Tech. He has written a book about urban biking, called“City Cycling.’’ He says there is a reason why urban bike tiding is now becoming more popular.
“Over the last 60 to 70 years. cities in the U. S. have been adapted to the automobile. ”
“Most cities took advantage of the money coming for the interstate highway system, from the federal government, starting in 1956. There was a 90 percent federal match(补贴)so the cities only had to put up 10％. It was very tempting. ”
In the years after World War Two, many Americans moved to suburban communities, just outside major cities, They decided to travel great distances to and from work in exchange for a home in the suburbs. Their cars became a symbol of freedom.
But today, many people believe they can save money by living in the city.
Greg Billing is with the Washington Area Bicyclist Association. “When a person makes a change from 04 using a car to using a bike, they are saving anywhere between 8 or＄9, 000 a year. ”
Ralph Buehler says governments save money when people use bicycles. “Building bicycling facilities is much cheaper than building and maintaining road facilities or public transport. ”
Washington, DC has also taken steps to protect bike riders. It approved a safe passing law and created areas on the road between cars and bikes.
The United States Census Bureau says 4％of the city’s workers ride to work by bike. The only city on the East Coast with more bike commuters is New York.

23、If you simply repeat a behavior for a certain number of days, you’re certain to develop the habit. But habit formation is not so simple.【1】But by employing the following tips, you will speed up the process.
A habit is simply a repeated behavior. Before you can develop a new habit, you will need to set a small, specific behavioral goal. For example, try “doing laundry every Sunday morning” instead of “keeping a more organized home”.【2】It’s a behavior that you can repeat over and over until it becomes a habit.
【3】You are motivated to make the change and you enjoy eating healthy food, but why can’t you keep the habit? Think about the barriers that might be stopping you. Maybe you are too tired to cook after work, so you end up ordering unhealthy take-out meals. Instead of trying to fight through the exhaustion, consider ways to work around the barrier. You could spend one weekend afternoon each week preparing meals for the next five days.
Experiment with to-do lists, daily phone alarms, and any other tools you can use to create reminders. 【4】In addition to creating reminders about desirable behaviors, you may need to remind yourself not to repeat the behavior you want to change.
