These days shared(分享的) bikes are becoming popular in my We Chat friend circle. Many of my friends are sharing photos of themselves riding bikes, especially at the weekend in parks, and I can see people logging in (登录) and out of shared bike apps.
I’m very happy that there are shared bikes on the road. They can save us a lot of time during special situations(特殊情况). And on sunny days, people enjoy riding them outside the city.
I tried shared bikes last week. And I didn’t like them very much. I think the first shared bikes without baskets are made for athletes(运动员). They are very hard to ride and the seats are not comfortable. It makes me wonder if people really like riding shared bikes.
A friend told me she tried the bikes to fit in. She doesn’t like bikes and finds Beijing’s roads too hard for bike riding. But now, the only way to hang out with her friends is riding out of town together. To join in social(社会的) activities, she had to pick up bike riding again.
Another friend admitted that he started talking about and sharing photos on shared bikes to appear modern and fashionable to friends. He started paying attention(注意) when shared bikes first came into use.
These ideas will give me something new to think about when I ride these bikes again.

Bikes are very popular in China. In the country, you can see bikes almost everywhere. When you walk on the road, you can find a lot of people riding bikes to schools, shops and any other place. So many people call China “the kingdom of bikes”. In China, many families have one or two bikes.
Compared with ears, bikes have many advantages(优点). First, bikes often don’t need much money. Some Chinese can’t buy cars, but they buy bikes. They can also use OFO bikes(共享单车)with only one yuan every hour. An app on the phone helps them to do that. Second, bikes are small to park anywhere, but cars need a bigger place. What’s more, they can’t ride bikes too fast, so it’s usually not dangerous to ride.
However, bikes also bring some problems(问题). Some riders don’t follow the traffic rules and some don’t think about others’ safety, so they ride too fast. During rush hours(高峰期), there may be traffic jams because there are too many bikes on the road. We still have much to do to solve the problem, like making strict rules for the riders.

3D printing is becoming more and more popular. We are now able to print things such as clothing, prosthetic limbs(假肢), musical instruments(乐器) and so on. People and businesses are able to create the things they need very quickly and easily using 3D printers.
But can you imagine printing food? Some scientists are trying to revolutionize our eating experience by doing this. They hope that having a 3D printer in the kitchen will become as usual as the microwave or blender. Scientists say that they are easy to use: You simply have to choose a recipe and put the food “inks” into the printer. You can also change the instructions to make the food exactly how you want it. This means that it would be very quick and easy to create delicious meals.
Using 3D printers to create your meals would also be saving the environment. There would be less need for traditional growing, transporting(运输) and packaging as food production would be quicker and easier.
Printing food could also help people who suffer from dysphasia(吞咽障碍症). They could program(为……编程) the printer to print softer versions of their favorite foods so that they would not have trouble eating them.
However, some people think that the future of 3D printed food would be a disaster. It could take away many jobs, including those for growing, transporting and packaging food. Imagine a world where there was no need for farming or growing crops and the same tastes could be printed from a raw “food ink”. Similarly, traditional cafes and restaurants might lose business. Also, there are worries about the printed food: Is it really possible to get the nutrients(营养物) we need from foodbased inks and gels?
What's more, cooking and eating together with family and friends has long been a traditional and enjoyable activity. It is hard to imagine a world where the fun of cooking is dead and meals can be done at the touch of a button.
1.What should we do first if we want to print food?
A.Choose a recipe. B.Program the printer.
C.Change the instructions. D.Put food “inks” into the printer.
2.What does the underlined word “revolutionize” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Remember clearly. B.Take seriously.
C.Change completely. D.Teach carefully.
3.Which could be the advantage(好处) of 3D food printing?
A.Saving the environment. B.Giving people nutrients.
C.Helping with traditional farming. D.Offering more job chances.
4.Which is the best title for the passage?
A.Why is 3D printing so popular? B.Will 3D printing be the future of food?
C.3D Food Printers in the Kitchens D.Different Opinions on 3D Printing
