21、Starting Cycling
We have two services designed to give people the confidence and knowledge to cycle successfully.
Lessons
All our instructors have been trained to National Standards level of “Bikeability”. This means you will be trained to a standard consistent across the whole country.
There are 3 levels of skills to progress through. Children would start with levels 1 & 2, progressing from the playground or park to cycle on less busy local roads. Teenager and adult beginners can also learn levels 1 & 2 in an off-road and quiet environment.
Confident teenagers and adults can broaden their skills by learning level 3, using multi-lane (多道) roads and larger roundabouts (环岛). We provide both a complete package of lessons for the beginner or individual lessons tailored to the client. You can ride a bike but don’t feel confident about right turns on multi-lane roads. Whatever the need
we can address and practice until perfect!
Everyone can be taught to ride a bike!
We train both adults and children.
We cover London Zones 1 & 2
The cost is ￡30 per hour.
Guided Ride
We know that riding on the roads in London can be scary, and if you have to navigate (确定行车路线) as well it can become a real hard task! The Guided Ride service takes all the stress out of it for you by providing the following:
Route planned in advance to suit your skill level. Route map provided to you.
Cycle and equipment checked. We will teach you a simple method to check basic roadworthiness (车辆性能) of your bike that you can perform on a weekly basis.
Route discussed and focus given to any areas requiring special attention.
Cycle along with the instructor close behind. Here the traffic can be controlled by the instructor and rider observed.
Occasionally stopping to discuss events.
We currently cover London Zones 1 & 2. Please contact us if your requirements are outside of these areas.

22、If you have only three minutes to get something that you can take from your home, and the other thing are lost forever, what will you take? The following information will help you.
B.O.B.
B.O.B. is short for Bug of Bag (求生背包). It’s a bag with a collection of things that are needed for life in it.
Reasons to use a B.O.B.
When disasters (灾难) like earthquakes and heavy rainstorms happen, many people will have to run away from their homes and they may not return for a long time. They need to continue to live without food, water or a shelter in some unexpected situations.
Things in a B.O.B.
1. A sleeping bag, or at least a thin quilt.
2. Drinking water.
3. High-calorie foods, such as chocolate and biscuits.

23、At the age of 14, James Harrison had a major chest operation and he required 13 units (3.4 gallons) of blood afterwards. The blood donations saved his life, and he decided that once he turned 18, he would begin donating blood as regularly as he could.
More than 60 years and almost 1,200 donations later, Harrison, whose blood contains an antibody (抗体) that has saved the lives of 2.4 million babies from miscarriages (流产), retired as a blood donor on May 11. Harrison’s blood is valuable because he naturally produces Rh-negative blood, which contains Rh-positive antibodies. His blood has been used to create anti-D in Australia since 1967.
“Every bottle of anti-D ever made in Australia has James in it,” Robyn Barlow, the Rh program director told the Sydney Morning Herald. “It’s an amazing thing. He has saved millions of babies. I cry just thinking about it.” Since then, Harrison has donated between 500 and 800 milliliters of blood almost every week. “I’d keep going if they let me,” Harrison told the Herald. His doctors said it was time to stop the donations. They had already extended the age limit for blood donations for him, and they’re cutting him off now to protect his health.
Harrison’s retirement is a blow to the Rh treatment program in Australia. Only 160 donors support the program, and finding new donors has proven to be difficult. But Harrison’s retirement from giving blood doesn’t mean he’s completely out of the game. Scientists are collecting and cataloging his DNA to create a library of antibodies and white blood cells that could be the future of the anti-D program in Australia.
【1】Why did James Harrison decide to donate blood as regularly as he could?
A．Because he wanted to be a celebrity.
B．Because he was saved by the blood donations when he was young.
C．Because his blood is valuable.
D．Because the Rh treatment program in Australia need him.
【2】What can we learn from the underlined sentence in paragraph 3?
A．Robyn Barlow was sad because millions of babies suffer from blood disease.
B．Robyn Barlow was worried because Harrison may die of losing too much blood.
C．Robyn Barlow was moved by Harrison’s donations.
D．Robyn Barlow was frightened by Harrison’s crazy behavior.
【3】What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A．Harrison’s retirement will not affect the Rh program.
B．After Harrison’s retirement, the Rh program will fail.
C．Harrison’s influence to the Rh program will still exist after his retirement.
D．A library has been built for the study of Harrison’s DNA .
【4】Which word can best describe Harrison?
A．Patient.
B．Diligent.
C．Talented.
D．Devoted.
24、In these times of worldwide communications, science is no different from other professions in that English is now the established “universal” language. Like it or not, most scientific reports are published in English, although some countries also have journals that are published in their native languages. But how did English develop into the dominant language of scientific discourse (会话)? Was it a joint decision or did it happen progressively and “accidentally”? And was it a positive move for all?
Arabic was used in all countries with an Islamic culture in the middle ages, while in Europe Latin was used for communication in science and education until the 17th century. During the Enlightenment, Latin lost favour as it was thought to be too complicated. Instead, scientific communication became more “provincial”; German, French, Italian and English were used in their respective countries and colonies, with different languages being more important in different disciplines — German, for instance, was widely used in physics, chemistry and some aspects of medicine and psychology. The relative use of these languages changed through history, reflecting the relative growth and decline of science, culture and economics in these countries. Thus, the use of French predominated in the 18th century, whereas German was most widespread in the 19th and English dominated the 20th. Social upheaval (剧变) also played a role — the use of French declined dramatically after World War I, whereas that of German increased in parallel until World War II. After World War II, and especially in the past 30 years, English progressively established itself as the primary language for scientific communication as America came to dominate both basic research and technology. In the 1920s the need for a universal language of science was debated, and a synthetic language, Esperanto, was developed but never widely used.
Despite the obvious appeal of having a common language that allows scientists around the world to communicate with one another, there can indeed be some drawbacks in using English for all communication — non-native English speakers can be at a disadvantage compared with native speakers when it comes to expressing and highlighting the interest of their papers and communicating with editors and referees. Careful copy editing can tackle the problem of accessibility of accepted manuscripts, but upstream of this stage it is down to all parties to ensure that they evaluate work on its scientific merit rather than its proper use of grammar.
The use of a universal language for communication in science is unavoidable as one obvious advantage is that findings can be more widely accessed, and resisting this concept for the sake of cultural difference would seem to be anything but productive. However, the use of national language and less technical language is useful in communicating science to the general public, as is the case with the Nature gateways in Japanese, Chinese, Korean and German.
【1】Which of the following does NOT contribute to the changes of languages in science through history?
A．Scientific development.
B．Cultural influence.
C．Economic climate.
D．Social communication.
【2】The downside of using English for all scientific communication involves .
A．some scientific work being undervalued due to its improper use of grammar
B．acknowledged manuscripts sometimes not being accessed with enough care
C．editors and referees’ failure to communicate with the authors of the papers
D．non-native English speakers being unable to express what interests them well
【3】What can we infer from the last paragraph？
A．Creating a universal language in scientific communication is inevitable.
B．A universal language enables more people to read about scientific findings.
C．Cultural difference adds to the difficulty in increasing scientific productivity.
D．Ordinary people also benefit from the use of technical language in science.
【4】Which of the following is the most suitable title for this passage?
A．Universal Language Established
B．Universal Language of Science
C．Breaking the Language Barrier
D．Breaking the Language Dominance
