26、China is a land of bicycles. At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country. Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle. Millions of them, all black. Cars were rare. Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year, I’ve found the opposite is true. There are millions of cars. However, people still use their bicycles to get around. For many, it’s the easiest and cheapest way to travel today. Bicycles also come in different colors—silver, green, red, blue, yellow, whatever you want.
It’s fun watching people biking. They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic, and ride even on sidewalks. Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can’t provide.
Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture, I decided to buy a bicycle. Great weather accompanied my great buy. I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.
My first ride home was orderly. To be safe, I stayed with a “pack” of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times. I didn’t want to get hit. So I took the ride carefully.
Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States. The streets here were wide, so crossing took time, skill and a little bit of luck.
I finally made it home. The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful. I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people. Biking made me feel alive.
【1】According to the author, why are bicycles still popular in China today?
A. Because they are traditional and safe.
B. Because they are colorful and available.
C. Because they are convenient and inexpensive.
D. Because they are fast and environmentally friendly.
【2】The author decided to buy a bicycle because he intended __________.
A. to ride it for fun
B. to experience local skills
C. to use it for transport
D. to improve his riding skills
【3】How did the author feel about his street crossing?
A. It was difficlult. B. It was boring.
C. It was lively. D. It was wonderful.
【4】Which of the following best describes the author’s biking experience?
A. The author took great pleasure in biking.
B. The author was praised by the other bikers.
C. The author was annoyed by the air while riding.
D. The author enjoyed showing off his biking skills.
27、How to Speak in Public
Many people have a fear of public speaking. They worry that they will lose their words,bore the audience or somehow make a fool of themselves. It is easy to try to avoid public speaking,but that usually doesn't work out. Everyone has to speak publicly at some point in their life. You may give a speech in a class or a meeting. Maybe you'll have to give a speech for some honor you've received. 【1】
Relax. 【2】 Your audience don't expect you to be perfect. They want you to succeed just as much as you do. If you're thinking you'll forget everything,remind yourself that you are prepared and knowledgeable. Imagine yourself doing well.
Be yourself. You are not Jack Canfield or Tony Robbins. Share your true personality with your audience,and they'll find you reliable. 【3】
Know your topic. Try to speak about the subject you know well. Research the topic to make sure that you are correct. Public speaking is easier when you don't feel like a fraud(骗子).
【4】 Choose your message for the group you are speaking to carefully. If you' re giving a public speech, then rude jokes certainly won't be suitable.
Give value. Base your speech on 2 or 3 main points. 【5】 They'll be satisfied if they leave with something they can use, and that is what public speaking is all about.
A.Know your audience.
B.Choose some serious messages.
C.Don't force yourself to be perfect.
D.Don't focus your attention on too many points.
E.Pretend to be someone that you're not, and they'll discover it.
F.Your audience will not remember every little detail you tell them.
G.Follow these steps to satisfy your audience and overcome your fear of speaking publicly.
28、 Let’s be real, we all have a special place in our heart for the home (or homes) we grew up in.
Think of the place where you learned to ride your first bike or the door frame where your parents tracked your heights. But would that nostalgia be enough for you to drop half a million to buy back the house? If you’re author J. K. Rowling, and your childhood home inspired certain parts of what would become one of the most well-known fiction series to ever exist, it’s worth considering.
As it turns out, Harry Potter author J. K. Rowling owns her childhood home, Church Cottage at Tutshill in Chepstow, according to the The Daily Mail. Rowling had quietly bought it back in 2011 for £400,000.
Now, the secret is out, as this week, Rowling and her husband commissioned major renovation projects for it, after years of no activity. The district council has granted the couple planning permission to install two rear dormer windows and knock down and rebuild the garage.
But let’s talk about that magic that is Church Cottage already. Rowling lived here from ages nine to 18. The home includes a cupboard under the stairs (sound familiar?!), which is believed to have been the inspiration for Harry’s room at the Dursley family’s house. There is also a trap door in the cottage’s dining room, similar to the one Fluffy guards in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. Also, the property is near the Forest of Dean, where a large part of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows takes place.
Over the years, some wise fans were able to connect the dots leading to the home, often trying to visit it. “For years, every time a book or a film came out, there were always members of the public asking to come in to see the house,” Julian Mercer, the home’s former owner, told BBC back in 2011. “That’s been happening ever since the book came out. But we haven’t let them in.”
Now that the secret’s out that the home is back in Rowling’s hands, those uninvited fans might be knocking on the door a little more frequently. Although her exact renovation plans may still be a mystery, we sure hope she turns it into a museum for the book.
【1】What can we learn about Church Cottage from the passage?
A.Rowling got a lot of inspiration from it.
B.Rowling learned how to ride her bike there.
C.Rowling’s parents secretly sold it for half a million.
D.Rowling’s parents recorded her heights on its door frame.
【2】What does the underlined word “property” probably refer to?
A.Harry’s room.
B.The trap door.
C.Dursley family’s house.
D.Church Cottage.
【3】What can we infer about Julian Mercer from the text?
A.He is one of Rowling’s fans.
B.He sold his cottage in 2011.
C.He is a reporter from BBC.
D.He is a character in Rowling’s books.
【4】When do visitors begin trying to visit the house?
A.After Rowling bought the house back.
B.After the public began to focus on it.
C.After Rowling’s books came out.
D.After the house was changed into a museum.
