21、Europe loves bicycle
Cycling isn’t always easy. Busy streets, noisy horns, and inadequate bike lanes and parking areas can make it an uphill battle. But not even these difficulties can stop Europeans passion for cycling. According to BBC,bicycles outsold cars in 26 of the European Union’s 28 states last year.
In some European countries just like Denmark and the Netherlands, people really love bicycles.
But BBC reported that Spain is also embracing bicycling: for the first time on record, bicycles outsold cars in the country in 2012.
And it’s becoming a continent-wide phenomenon. “people ride to work and take their bikes to the grocery
store,” Bill Strickland, executive editor of Bicycling magazine, told Reuters.
So what has led to cycling’s growing popularity in Europe?
“Cycling is a safe, clean, healthy way to get around,” the Daily Star concluded. “it not only reduces traffic congestion and pollution, abut also contributes to public health.”
Bike-friendly policies have also contributed to the phenomenon.
Dozens of cities have joined a European Union initiative(倡议) to make bicycles on the par with (与......平分秋色) cars as a form of urban transport. Quite a few cities such as Stockholm, London, Florence and Munich now offer extensive networks of well-marked bike lanes.
Copenhagen take it as a step future by keeping bicycles and motor vehicles physically separate as much as possible. On these routes, stoplights are adjusted to the rhythms of bicycles, not cars. And the routs are lined with bicycle pump stations that are designed to the Daily Star.
For people living far from city centers, getting to work by bicycles alone may not be time-efficient. That’s why many European countries now allow cyclists to bring their bicycles onto subway trains.
Europeans are also creative in solving parking problems. The Daily Star reported that Amsterdam has come up with a high-tech solution: you lock your bike to a rack (架子), which then revolves underground. When you want your bike back, the rack rotates (旋转) it back to the surface.
【1】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article?
A. In Denmark, all bike lanes are separated from motorized traffic.
B. In Copenhagen, cyclists are given priority (优先) over drivers in many traffic situations.
C. Bicycles are not allowed to be taken onto subway trains in most European countries.
D. Amsterdam’s cycling network and underground parking system is the most advanced in the world.
【2】The underlined word “embracing” in Para3 is closest in the meaning to _____.
A. getting worries about
B. taking little interest in
C. accepting gladly
D. including as a part of something larger
【3】What’s the purpose of the underlined sentence?
A. It shows the popularity of bicycles.
B. It shows why people dislike bicycles.
C. It serves as an introduction of why Europeans like bicycles.
D. It serves as a warning of difficulty in riding a bicycle.
【4】More and more Europeans prefer bicycles because ________.
A. They think cycling is a safe, clean, healthy, inexpensive way to get around.
B. Cars are usually caught in traffic jams.
C. Governments require them to do so.
D. It is convenient to park their bicycles.
22、As digital devices have taken over society, “keyboard activity” is now often recommended as a substitute(替代物) for early handwriting, a new study notes. 【1】.
“Some schools in Norway have become completely digital,” notes Audrey Vander Meer, the new study’s leader, who works at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim. 【2】. The human brain has developed to interact with the world in as many ways as possible, she notes. She believes that young children should learn to write by hand successfully, and, at the same time learn to manage a keyboard.
【3】. Her new findings prove this. This is because writing and printing involve complex movements that activate more areas of the brain. The increased brain activity, “gives the brain more ‘hooks’ to hang your memories on,” she explains.
Think about it. The same movement is required to type each letter on a keyboard. By comparison, when we write, our brain needs to think about and recover memories of each letter. 【4】. And we need to control our hands to press a pen or pencil to shape the different letters. All of these use and connect more areas of the brain.
Along the way, these processes appear to “open the brain up for learning”, says Vander Meer. 【5】. She expresses her worries.
Vander Meer also points out that taking notes by hand stimulates “visual note-taking”. Rather than typing blindly, the visual note-taker has to think about what is important to write down. Then, key words can be “interlinked (互连的) by boxes, and arrows, and supplemented by small drawings”.
A.Young kids should learn several basic drawing skills.
B.It is believed that typing may be easier for young children.
C.Using a pen involves more of the brain than using a keyboard.
D.It has to be done by hand, not necessarily typing on a keyboard.
E.So learning through only one format—digital—could be harmful.
F.She measures brain activity to better understand learning and behaviors
G.It is also necessary for us to use our eyes to watch what shapes we are writing.
23、Hello, everyone! I have read over fifteen interesting stories in the past few weeks. And many of them tell me what to do with the problems in my daily life. Now I’m sharing some of them with you.
Story 1
A boy once found a jar (罐子) full of nuts in his mother’s kitchen and he put his hand in to help himself get as many as he could. When he tried to take his hand out of the jar, however, he found that the opening was too narrow (狭窄的) for his fist (拳头) to pass through.
“What shall I do?’’ he cried. “My hand will be stuck (卡住) in this jar.” Just then his mother came in. “Really,” she said, “there’s nothing to make such a fuss (大惊小怪) about. Try taking half as many nuts as you have in your hand, and you’ll find your hand will come out of the jar quite easily.”
Story 2
A woman walks up to a little old man, rocking (摇动) in a chair on his porch (走廊).
“I couldn’t help noticing how happy you look,” she says. “What’s your secret for a long, happy life?”
“I smoke three packs a day, drink a case of whiskey (威士忌) a week, and never exercise.”
“Wow, that’s amazing,” says the woman, “How old are you?”

The world is waiting for your gift.
The world is waiting for you. 【3】 Sure, other people may be able to sing, but they’ll never be able to sing exactly like you. Sure, other people can write, but they’ll never be able to write from the same point of view in which you write.
