If you live in Shanghai, Beijing or many other cities, you may see many orange bicycles on the streets these days.
These bikes are owned by a company called Mobike. You can order a bike through an app on your phone. When you find a bike, you just scan a QR code (扫描二维码) on the bike so you can use it. You don’t need to return the bike to a station — you can park it anywhere.
China was known as “the kingdom of bicycles” about 30 years ago. But more people choose to drive cars and catch the subway these days. Bike rental (租赁的) services like Mobike are bringing bikes back.
“Back then, I got the feeling that Chinese people were trying to be modern and push away the past. So they did not want to be linked with bicycles,” said Ines Brunn, a German woman who runs a bike store in Beijing. “I do believe changes in people’s tastes will shape new thinking about bikes.”
Online rental services are making biking more convenient, but it’s still not easy to ride bikes in Chinese cities. Cars often take up bicycle lanes (道路). Bikers have to ride next to cars in car lanes, which can be very dangerous.
Beijing plans to build over 3,200 km of new bike lanes. Drivers who drive in bike lanes will be punished. Traffic signs will be put up to better protect bikers.
1.If you want to use a Mobike, ________.
A.you have to scan a QR code B.you don’t need to pay for it
C.you don’t have to return it D.you have to pay for an app
2.Which of the following is NOT true, according to Paragraph 3?
A.China had the most bicycles in the world about 30 years ago.
B.There are more bicyclists than motorists these days.
C.More people are driving cars or taking the subway these days.
D.Bike rental services are becoming more popular.
3.What does Ines Brunn mean when she says people’s tastes are changing?
A.Chinese people like modern things. B.Chinese people like riding bicycles.
C.People in Beijing are changing their tastes. D.More people will start riding bikes.
4.How will Beijing stop cars from taking up bicycle lanes?
① People will not be allowed to ride bikes next to cars.
② Beijing will build new bike lanes.
③ Beijing will punish drivers who drive in bike lanes.
④ Beijing will put up traffic signs to protect bikers.
A.①③④ B.②③④
C.①②③ D.①②④
5.Which is the best title for the story?
A.How to use a Mobike B.Orange bikes will be fashionable

You may think you cannot live through summer without air conditioners(空调). But in ancient China, hand fans were almost the only ones to help people keep cool.
Chinese people started to use hand fans over 2,000 years ago. The fans came in different shapes, such as round and square. They were also made from all kinds of materials. Palm leaf fans were cheap and easy to make. Feather fans(羽毛扇)showed the owner’s high status. Sandalwood(檀香)fans could send out sweet smell.
Later, hand fans became far more than just something that could cool you down. They developed into art works, in which Tuanshan(round fans)and Zheshan(folded fans)were the most common.

If you’re in a hard time, a tiny thing may be the greatest help for you. That’s touch. Touch is one of the most important of our five senses. It is one of the first senses we develop. One of the most commonly accepted forms of touch among people is also one of the first experiences we have in the world---A hug!
There is no better way to understand the importance of hugs than to lose them. For those who have experienced the loss of hugs, you will know how important they are to share.
A recent research has shown that when people hug, the brain releases the chemical which increases our willingness to trust and reduces fear. It has also shown that hugs are great for your heart.
In 1995, a pair of newly born twins was being cared for in hospital. While one of the twins seemed quite healthy, her sister was not. After trying different medical treatments, the nurse on duty, Gayle Kasparian, placed the twins in bed together. The twins immediately snuggled (依偎) up to each other. As one placed her arm around the other, the weak baby became better gradually. How great the power of a hug is!
The need for hugs doesn’t disappear as we grow older, though it seems we are less willing to give them. Research on people of all ages has proven that a hug is necessary for physical and emotional health.
Without hugs we can become sad. A hug provides safety and gentleness. A hug provides us with social contact, a sense of health and a feeling of importance and belonging.
1.The underlined word "they" in the second paragraph refers to __________.
A. touches B. people C. hugs D. experiences
2.The story of the twins tells us ___________.
A. twins should be placed in bed together B. the power of a hug is great
C. twins can look after each other well D. medical treatments are important

A. A hug is the only form of touch among people.
B. The loss of hugs can make them more important.
C. Hugs can get people to trust each other more
D. We don’t need hugs when we grow older.

A. The great importance of Hugs B. The different ways of Hugs
C. The traditional cultures of Hugs D. The interesting stories of Hugs

You may have noticed that the world’s population is not evenly distributed (分布) around our planet. There are more countries where people seem to be living nearly on top of each other because conditions are overcrowded . Then there are others where it seems that hardly anybody lives.
