Like all big cities, Paris has a traffic problem: lots of cars, lots of traffic jams and lots of pollution. So in 2007, the city began a plan called Velib to improve the situation.

Under the Velib plan 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 half­hour on the bike is free, but if you don't return it after 30 minutes, you have to pay. There are about 20, 000 of them in the city, and around 1, 450 bicycle stations.

Paris is not the first city to have a plan like this. Lyon started a "free" bicycle plan many years ago. And not everybody thinks it's a great idea. One Parisian said, "These bicycles are only for short journeys."

A city spokesman said, "The bicycle plan won't solve all of traffic problems, of course. But it might reduce pollution levels in the air. Traffic, together with factory smog, is a big problem. Everyone knows about global warming. It's because there's so much pollution in the world. The bikes might help people to lead a healthier life, too. There aren't any simple solutions to traffic problems and pollution in cities. But unless we do something now, there will be more traffic jams and temperatures will continue to rise, so the problems of our environment will get worse."

1.The traffic problems of Paris include the following except ________．

A.lots of traffic accidents B.lots of cars

C.lots of traffic jams D.lots of pollution

2.According to Paragraph 2, which of the following is TRUE?

A.There are about 20, 000 bicycle stations in Paris.

B.The bicycle is free and you needn't pay for it.

C.People can use a bicycle for as long as they want.

D.People can leave the bicycle everywhere they want.

3.Which city first started the "free" bicycle plan in French?

A.Paris. B.Lyon. C.Bordeaux. D.Cannes.

4.The global warming is mainly because of ________．

A.a lot of trees disappearing B.plenty of smog in the sky

C.people's wrong behavior D.so much pollution in the world

5.What is the main idea of the passage?

A.The pollution of Paris. B.The ways to solve pollution.

C.The number of bicycles in Paris. D.The bicycle plan of Paris for the traffic problem and pollution.

If you want to know how others treat you, you should first see how you treat others. 1.

Relationships function like a mirror—eventually that change will reflect back onto how you are treated.

Here are a few important tips to remember about how to treat others：

2.

Everyone has a past. Some are a source of pride, and others are best left behind. But whatever their past was, people do change and grow, so instead of judging, stand by and support them as they move toward their future. Treat them with respect.

3.

One of the greatest gifts we can give another is kindness. If someone is in need, lend a helping hand. Don't do it only for the people you like and respect—that's easy—but also for the ones who drive you crazy and those you don't even know. True kindness lies in the act of giving without the expectation of getting something in return.

4.

The moment you think you have the right to belittle others because you are better than they are is the moment you prove you have no power. If you can't offer help, support, or love, at least do everything in your power not to hurt them or make them feel small.Treat everyone you meet with honor.

Remember, everyone has a story.

5.

Anyway, I hope you are loved.

A.Treat everyone with kindness—not because they are kind­hearted, but because you are.

B.Instead of judging people by their past, stand by them and help them build their future.

C.And if you don't like the way you're treated, there's only one course of action—to change your own behavior, because you can't change anyone else's.

D.It may be something they've gone through in the past or something they're still dealing with, but remember that behavior doesn't happen in a vacuum. Everyone has inner battles and problems. Respect them.

E.Don't try to make yourself great by making someone else look small.
