21、 What is the most popular way to travel in the whole world，not counting a human being's two legs？You say by car？No.Train？Wrong again.Airplane？I'm sorry，but you're not even close.The most popular way of going from one place to another is by bicycle.And it is a surprise to most Americans.After all，we see thousands of cars each day.We don't see nearly as many bikes.
In the United States most bike riders are either young people or adults bicycling for exercise.About nine million bikes are sold in America each year.Nearly three million are sold to adults.The rest are to children.But in the rest of the world，far more people use the bike as their main way of traveling.They ride bikes to work，to school，and to stores.
Bicycles have been around for a long time-about 300 years.You would not like to ride around on those early bikes，though.They didn't have any pedals(脚蹬).The riders had to push along with their feet.And this bike only went straight ahead.There was no way to turn the front wheel.If the rider wanted to change direction，he or she had to get off and move the bicycle.When pedals were put on the front wheels，riding became easier.The most popular kind of bike in the late 1800s had a very high front wheel and a small back wheel.It was a long fall to the ground!
Another problem was that there were no rubber tires(橡胶轮胎).So bike was called the "Boneshaker" at that time. Then in the 1880s，air-filled rubber tires were put on the bicycle's wheels, which made people feel more comfortable. Since then the bicycle has not changed very much.Of course bikes come in different shapes and colors now，but the main design is still the same.

22、White was one of the first colors used in art in the 15th century, and one would think that there is little room left to improve its '"whiteness". It turns out that is far from the case. A team of researchers led by Xiulin Ruan, a professor at Purdue University, recently revealed an 'ultra-white" paint that they believe could even help fight climate change.
The scientists, who spent six years creating the world's "whitest white" paint, claim that the white paints currently available make surfaces warmer rather than cooler. That's because they only reflect 80 to 90 percent of the sunlight and cannot make surfaces cooler than the surrounding temperature. The newly-revealed ultra-white paint not only reflects 98.1 percent of sunlight, but also prevents surface infrared (红外线的) heat from being absorbed.
“Our paint absorbs 1.9% of sunlight, but those commercial paints absorb 10% of the sunlight - five times as much as our paint absorbs," Dr. Ruan says. "They look white, they are pretty white, but they aren't white enough --- they're not able to cool beyond the surrounding temperature.”
Outdoor tests of the new paint indicated it could keep surfaces 5℃ cooler than the surrounding temperature under the strong noon sunlight and as much as 10℃ cooler at night.
“We did a very rough calculation," Dr. Ruan told a news reporter. "And we estimate we would only need to paint 1 percent of the Earth's surface with this paint - perhaps an area where no people live that is covered in rocks - and that could help fight the climate change trend.”
However, Hashem Akbari, professor of building at Concordia University, believes the paint's real benefits can only be proved after being in use for a few years. "Dirt and dust tend to decrease the reflectivity of the surface," Akbari said. "If it starts with 95% reflectivity, the pollutants from the air could collect on the surface, and they decrease the reflectivity."
【1】What does the text intend to tell us?
A．A new color has been found.
B．A new paint has been created.
C．Climate change is under control.
D．New research is causing argument.
【2】What does the underlined word "they" in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．The surfaces.
B．The scientists.
C．The traditional paints.
D．The two kinds of colors.
【3】What can be inferred about Dr. Ruan's new paint?
A．It absorbs less sunlight.
B．It has been widely used.
C．It makes surfaces warmer.
D．It functions only in the daytime.
【4】What is Hashem's attitude to the new paint?
A．Reserved.
B．Optimistic.
C．Disappointed.
D．Uninterested.
23、 A student was one day taking a walk with his teacher. As they went along, they saw a pair of old shoes lying in the path. They were a poor farmer’s, who was working in the nearby field.
The student turned to the teacher, saying: “we will hide his shoes, and hide ourselves behind those trees, and wait to see what he will do.”
“My young friend,” answered the teacher, “we should never make fun of the poor. Why not put a coin in each shoe, and then we will hide ourselves and watch?” The student did so and they both hid themselves behind the trees. The poor man soon finished his work, and came across the field to the path where he had left his coat and shoes.
After putting on his coat, he put his foot into one of his shoes, and felt something hard. Then he bent (弯腰) down to feel what it was, and found the coin. Surprised, he looked at the coin, turned it around and looked at it again. He then looked around, but no person was seen. He put the money into his pocket, and continued to put on the other shoe. His surprise was doubled on finding the other coin.
He couldn’t control his feelings and fell to his knees, looked up to the sky and expressed his thanks. Then he spoke of his wife, sick and helpless, and his children without bread. He said the help would save them from dying.
The student stood there deeply moved, and his eyes filled with tears. “Now,” said the teacher, “are you not much happier than if you had hidden the shoes?”

24、 Clean water is not only important for food production, but necessary for our life. However, large numbers of people in Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa are going without. The World Health Organization reports that almost 4,000 children die each day for dirty water or lack of water.
Agriculture is the primary user of water at 70-85% of fresh water in the world. Industrial uses of water don’t often come to mind, but you may be surprised to know that industry uses 59% of the water supply in developed countries.
Home use takes up only 8% in the world. But as cities grow, the local government has to cut down on water use. Many cities are turning to privatization (私有化) of water as a method of controlling use. The poor are paying as much as a quarter of their monthly income for water in some developing countries.
In 60% of large European cities, groundwater is being used at a faster rate. People are saving water by simply using less and being careful with what they do use. Sometimes it’s as simple as not throwing out water that they could use elsewhere.
In Australia overuse of water has always been a problem. The Australian government has encouraged households and industries to collect rainwater and reuse water from showers. Technology is helping householders for shower and bath water for reuse in toilets or gardens.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has made a water saving program designed to encourage families and businesses to examine their water use and save more water. Good water management has been considered by scientists and the UN as the key to solving the water problem. We can all work together to protect our valuable water in our daily life.
【1】In developed countries, most water is used by ______.
A．industry
B．agriculture
C．families
D．businesses
【2】To save water, what do Australians and Europeans both choose to do?

【3】According to scientists, to deal with water shortage, the most important is to ______.
A．popularize privatization of water
B．cut down on water use at home
C．have good control over water use

26、SummaryWriting
Sociologists have long recognized that organization of less than 200 individuals can operate through the free flow of information among the members.Once their size goes beyond this figure, the organizations are getting less flexible. So it seems necessary to prevent total disorder resulting from failures of communication.
One solution to this problem would, of course, be to structure large organizations into smaller units of a size that can act as a group. By allowing these groups to build reliance on each other, larger organizations can be built up. However, merely having groups of, say, 150 will never of itself be a complete solution to the problems of the organization.Something else is needed: the people involved must be able to build direct personal relationships. To allow free flow of information, they have to be able to communicate with each other in a casual way. Maintaining too formal a structure of relationships inevitably prevents the way a system works.
The importance of this was drawn to my attention two years ago by the case of a TV station. Whether by chance or by design, it so happened that there were almost exactly 150 people in the station. The whole process worked very smoothly as an organization for many years until they were moved into purpose-built accommodation. Then, for no apparent reason, the work seemed to be more difficult to do, not to say less satisfying.
It was some time before they work out what the problem was. It turn out that, when the architects were designing the new building,they decided that the coffee room where everyone ate their sandwiches at lunchtimes was an unnecessary luxury and so did away with it. And with that, they accidentally destroyed the close social networks that strengthened the whole organization. What had apparently been happening was that, as people gathered informally over their sandwiches in the coffee room, useful information was casually being exchanged.
