Like all big cities, Paris has a traffic prob...

Like all big cities, Paris has a traffic problem: lots of traffic jams and lots of pollution from exhaust fumes. So in 2007, the city began a scheme(计划) to improve the situation.

Under the Velib scheme(bicycle freedom), people can take a bicycle, use it for as long as they want, and then leave it at the same or another bicycle station. The first half-hour on the bike is free, but if you don’t return it after 30 minutes, you have to pay. But it’s only 1 euro a day or 29 euros a year! The bicycles are heavy (25 kilograms). They are all grey and have baskets. There are about 20,000 of them in the city, and around 1,450 bicycle stations. So there are a lot more Velib stations than the 298 metro stations!

Paris is not the first city to have a scheme like this — not even in France. Many years ago, Lyon started a free bicycle scheme. However, not everybody in Paris thinks it’s a great idea. One Parisian said, “These bicycles are only for short journeys. If people want to travel across the city, they won’t use a bicycle; they’ll still use their cars.”

A city spokesman said, “The bicycle scheme won’t solve all of our traffic problems, of course. But it might reduce pollution levels in the atmosphere. Traffic, together with factory fumes, is a big problem. Everyone knows about global warming. We know this is partly because rainforests are disappearing, but it’s also because there’s so much pollution in the world. We can help improve the situation right here. The Velib bikes might help people to lead a healthier life, too.”

“There aren’t any simple answers to traffic problems and pollution in cities,” the spokesman added. “But unless we do something now, there will be more traffic jams and temperatures will continue to rise. The problems in our environment will only get worse.”

1.How did Paris improve the situation of its traffic problem?

A.It built many bicycle stations. B.It is renting heavy bicycles to visitors.

C.It sold more bicycles to people. D.It is providing shared bikes for people.

2.How much will you have to pay if you use the bike for 45 minutes?

A.29 euros. B.1.5 euros. C.1 euro. D.Nothing.

3.According to the city spokesman, which of the following statements is true?

A.Traffic is not the only cause of global warming.

B.There aren’t any solutions to the city’s traffic problems.

C.Riding bikes is a perfect way to solve pollution problems.

D.It’s better to drive a car than to ride a bike to travel across the city.

4.What of the following is NOT a way to deal with global warming?

A.Using bicycles often. B.Protecting the rainforests.

C.Reducing factory fumes. D.Traveling across a city by car.

5.Which of the following may be a suitable title for the passage?

Large population has caused many problems. For example, the traffic is very heavy in some big cities.

During the last ten years, big cities like Beijing and Harbin were full of cars and buses. Now the streets are completely crowded and it’s very difficult to drive a car along them. Drivers must stop at hundreds of traffic lights. What are our cities going to be like in the future? How can we solve the problem?

There are some good ideas to reduce the use of private(私人的) cars. In 1971, the officer in Rome began an interesting experiment: Passengers on the city buses didn’t pay for their tickets.

In Stockholm there was another experiment: People paid very little for a season ticket to travel on any bus, trolley bus(电车) and train all over the city.

In many cities now some streets are closed to vehicles(机动车) and pedestrians are safe there.

In London there is another experiment: Part of the streets is for buses only. So the buses can travel fast. There are no cars or taxis in front of them.

According to a new survey, student safety has become a big problem. Now in many big cities of China, many schools start a new lesson: self—protection. Students like this lesson because there are no exams or boring classes. And they can learn how to save lives and know how to stop danger before it really happens.

Lin Li, a teacher from Yantai, gives young students advice on how to deal with danger.

If you are in a traffic accident

If a car hits you, you should remember the car number. If it is a bicycle, try to call your parents before you let the rider go. This is because you don’t know how seriously you are hurt.

If it is raining hard and there is lightning

Don’t stay in high places and stay away from trees.

When there is a fire

Get away as fast as you can. Put wet things on your body and try to find an exit. Do not take the lift.

If someone is drowning

If you can’t swim, don’t get into the water. Cry out for help.

Remember that danger is never as far away as you think. Take care of yourself at all times!

If you are robbed（抢劫）

Keep calm. If you cannot cry for help or run away, give the robber your money. Try to remember what the robber looks like and tell the police later.

1.Many schools have started a new lesson on self—protection because it is a big problem.

2.If you are hit by a car, you are supposed to remember what the driver looks like.

3.When you are in the rain, you must stay close to the trees and stay in low places.

4.You should shout for help if your money and treasures are robbed by someone.

5.We can learn how to protect ourselves if we are in danger from the passage.
