Have you ever thought about making a bicycle that you dream of? Some creative people have invented some special bicycles. Here are three of them.

Bambikes

Bambikes are produced in a company in Philippines. They are made of an unusual kind of bamboo and other materials like metal and a local plant. They are very strong. And they are a perfect combination (结合) of the greenest building material and common bicycles. By making bambikes, the company offers jobs to the local people. Besides, it provides money for some students in its community to pay for their study. To continue the production, the company plants more bamboo than it cuts.

The heaviest bicycle

A German cycling lover, Frank Dose, has recently made the world’s heaviest bicycle with big old wheels and lots of other waste materials. He created it just because he made a bet (打赌) with his friend. The bicycle weighed 1.08 tones. It broke the world record of its kind in weight. Frank said his bicycle was surprisingly easy to ride although it had a huge size and weighed a lot. He rode it in front of 5,000 people for over 100 meters to prove it.

Twisted (变形的) bicycles

Two brothers in France created a bike that looks strange to ride and twists in the middle. Riders can make tight turns (急转弯). The brothers say the bicycle is hard to ride so it can stop people from stealing it. In fact, it isn’t as hard to control as you think. It takes a day or two to get used to the crazy way of riding. It’s amazing. So far, there have been 30 of the bicycles, but they are not for sale yet.

1.Some creative people _______some special bicycles.

2.Bambikes are made of an unusual kind of bamboo and other materials, such as ______.

3.The company plants more bamboo than it cuts in order ______.

4.Frank Dose created the world’s heaviest bicycle just because of _____.

5.Two brothers in France created ______and twists in the middle.

Do you ever throw away food at home? Have you ever thought about what happens to the food that shops and supermarkets don’t sell? Well, you might be shocked (震惊) to find out that nearly one third of food produced for human gets lost or wasted. What’s more, around 800 million people in the world do not have enough food to lead a healthy life.

Many people in the UK and across the world are trying to do something about this imbalance and make use of thrown-out food that can be perfectly eaten. For example, there is a cafe in Leeds (UK) whose meals are all created using unsold food from supermarkets, including a lot of vegetables, fruit, fish and other things. This unwanted food is turned into delicious soups and all kinds of dishes that feed the hungry people of Leeds. Customers simply pay what they can afford, or help with the washing up. In just ten months, 10,000 people were fed at this cafe, using twenty tons of unwanted food!

Also, last year the UK’s first food waste supermarket opened. The supermarket is near Leeds and works on a “pay as you feel”; customers pay whatever they want for the produce. The stock (库存) changes daily but you can usually find things such as fresh vegetables, fruit and milk there. Some low-income families have said that it has changed their lives.

“Fuel for School” is another food waste project. Surplus (多余的) food from supermarkets such as vegetables, fruit and bread is used to feed hungry schoolchildren whose families may not be able to afford to buy them lunch.

I lived in Leeds for three years, and have had lunch at a food waste cafe, and it was delicious. I couldn’t believe that it was all food that supermarkets had thrown away! I have also taken part in projects such as “Foodcycle”, using supermarkets’ unwanted food to cook meals for poor people.　　

More cafes like this are being opened in other parts of the UK, and it is now becoming popular in the world. I think this is an amazing act as food waste is one of the world’s biggest problems. I also believe that the law should be changed, so that supermarkets don’t throw away so much perfectly good food!

1.800 million people in the world can’t live a healthy life because of ______.

A. unsold food　　 B. unwanted food

C. being unable to work　　 D. being short of food

2.According to the passage, the writer agrees that ______.

A. buying the waste food can protect the environment

B. all the people in the world make use of waste food

C. food waste in the world can be solved by the UK soon

D. the government should make the law to stop food waste

3.What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?

A. To encourage people to save food.

B. To introduce some supermarkets in the UK.

C. To share his personal experience in saving food.

D. To explain why he cooked meals for poor people.

Have you ever thought about how you answer a compliment(恭维)?I didn’t see the cultural differences of a compliment until I moved to Beijing from the US about four months ago．

From my personal experience，it’s usually polite to say thank you，smile，change the subject or give that person a compliment too．I found this is not usually the way people accept a compliment in China．

I’ve seen that Chinese are very modest(谦虚的)when receiving a compliment．In China，

people might say a quick thank you and disagree with the compliment．One example of this is speaking the Chinese 0r English language．I’m trying to learn Chinese：and I’m honestly not good．However，sometimes when I say a simple word like“thank you” in Chinese, people tell me my Chinese is so good! This seems very silly to me because xiexie is usually the second phrase people learn．

From the other point of view，a Chinese person may even start a conversation by saying their English is very poor．After having a full conversation，I tell them with honesty their English is quite good．They will not accept the compliment，yet their English is much better than my Chinese!

In a word，I think it’s important to have a balance when accepting a compliment．It’s good to be modest，but it’s also okay to welcome it at the same time．

1.What did the writer see when he moved to Beijing?(不超过10个单词)

2.How do Chinese people start a conversation sometimes?(不超过10个单词)

3.When did the writer move to Beijing?(不超过5个单词)

Have you ever had dreams about building a robot? Or putting together a spaceship? Or even seeing your face made out of chocolate? Done. All you need is a 3-D printer!

The possibilities of 3-D printing seem endless. All the user has to do is to design(设计) an object on the computer and choose a material(材料) to print in. The printers print in hundreds of different materials including glass, sugar and even skin! When the user presses “print”, the 3-D printer spreads the material layer(层) by layer and like magic the object is produced.

The first 3-D printer was invented in 1986 by an American, Charles Hull. But 3-D printing has only become cheap enough recently for most people to use. Designers now use 3-D printing to create unusual things. The Dutch artist Dirk Vander Kooj prints furniture made from old fridges. And doctors have used 3-D printing to print human body parts! The Telegraph reported in February that scientists from Cornell Medical College even printed a man-made ear.

But like a lot of new technologies, if 3-D printing gets into the wrong hands, it can be dangerous. In 2011 a group of four men in the US used 3-D printing to produce ATM skimmers (提款机盗刷器). These were placed on an ATM and stole over $400,000 from users of the ATM. It is terrible to think thatcriminalslike them might one day use a 3-D printer to print a gun.

But for better or for worse, 3-D printing has been put into use. In a few years, you’ll probably be wondering how you could ever live without your 3-D printer!

1._______ invented the first 3-D printer.

A.Charles Hull B.Dirk Vander Kooj

C.A doctor called Cornell D.Four men in the U.S

2.What is the correct order for people to use a 3-D printer?

a. Choose a proper material.

b. Press the print button.

c. The 3-D printer spreads the material.

d. Use a computer to design an object.

A.a-b-c-d B.d-a-b-c

C.a-c-d-b D.d-c-b-a

3.The underlined word “criminals” in the fourth paragraph might mean ______________ in Chinese.

A.技术员 B.军人 C.罪犯 D.用户

4.According to the passage, people have NOT yet produced _________ with a 3-D printer.

A.some furniture B.a man-made ear

C.ATM skimmers D.a gun

5.What does the writer think of the 3-D printer?

A.It is necessary only for our work.

B.It is helpful but dangerous.

C.It is too expensive for most people.

D.It is useless in our daily life.
