Do you know that more than half of the people...

Do you know that more than half of the people living in Copenhagen(哥本哈根), the Danish capital, ride a bike to school or work every day? The city has set a goal(目标)to become the world's first carbon neutral(碳中立) capital by2025.

Cycling(骑行)is actually a faster and more time-saving way to travel in Copenhagen.That's why you'll find more bikes than people and more than 5 times as many bikes than cars in this city!

Copenhagen is a cycling paradise(天堂). The city has done its best to encourage people to ride bikes-it has built more than 1,000 km of cycling roads. The city planners have made plans to help park bikes and repair bikes for free--wow!

Copenhagen's cyclists hardly break traffic rules. Several of the city's main streets are only used for bike lanes(车道). Bike lanes along major roads are wide. Copenhagen is building 38 highways along the main city roads. The city's subways also allow cyclists to bring their bikes in the train, free of cost

The city planners are working hard to make cyclists feel safe So when cyclists get closer to a main crossing, sensors(传感器)down the streets ‘tell’ the traffic lights to give them a ‘green’ light,which means cyclists don' t have to worry about the heavy traffic. Isn't that cool? One smooth journey from home to school! Even in the cold winters, the workers clean snow on the cycling lanes before car lanes.

Lately, however, the city is facing a new problem-there are not enough parking lots for cyclists. Some people now start leaving their bikes just about anywhere. Perhaps the best way is to make more space for bikes or build underground parking lots.

At the same time, other big cities are following Copenhagen's example, such as London, Paris,New York, Beijing and San Francisco They are all taking actions to encourage cyclists.

1.What goal does Copenhagen hope to reach by 2025?

A.To build more and wider roads for cyclists.

B.To set a good example for other cities to follow.

C.To encourage more people to go to work by bike..

D.To become the world’s first carbon neutral capital.

2.Much more people in Copenhagen ride bikes than driving because_______.

A.the traffic is too heavy B.it's faster and saves more time

C.there are more bike lanes D.the city doesn't allow driving

3.What problem is the city facing now?

A.Other cities are following its example. B.Some cyclists often break traffic rules.

C.There isn't enough space for bike parking. D.Car drivers are not pleased with cyclists.

You may know that more people drink coffee than tea around the world. And that， after oil， it is the second biggest traded commodity(商品). You may also know that the drink comes from beans which are first roasted and then ground(研磨). But what else do you know about this popular drink?

It is said that the story of coffee started with an Ethiopian goatherd(牧羊人)named Kaldi. One day Kaldi was surprised to see that his goats were behaving(举止) very strangely. Instead of grazing(吃草) quietly， they were jumping around， almost dancing. He also noticed some red “cherries” from a plant that the goats were eating. He tried some himself and was surprised by the feeling of　 happiness and excitement. He felt like dancing too!

But it wasn’t used as a drink at first. It was used as food. The coffee berries， mixed with animal fat， were used by monks(和尚) to stay awake during long hours of prayer(祷告). From Ethiopia， coffee was later cultivated(培育) in Yemen and the first hot drink was developed there around AD 1000. Three centuries later，Coffee houses appeared in Cairo and Mecca.

For many many years the plants were protected safely. But some beans were smuggled(偷运) out of Arabia and taken to India. In the 17th century， coffee was soon grown in a new continent. From India to Indonesia， a century later the beans were once again smuggled to Brazil. Brazil is now the largest coffee producer in the world.

It was the caffeine(咖啡因) that made the goats dance and kept the monks awake. Although it is found in other soft drinks and tea， coffee has the most caffeine. In the short term(短期)， a couple of cups of coffee can prevent fatigue and delay sleep. But several cups a day， every day， can cause anxiety(焦虑) and restlessness(坐立不安).

For people who are interested in space, nothing is more exciting than the idea of living on other planets. That might be why the movie The Martian is so popular. It shows an astronaut living on Mars. But would it really be possible to live on the Red Planet?

While the idea of living on Mars is great, the reality does not look as good. Mars does not have a friendly air for humans. There is very little oxygen(氧气) there. And because it's far from the sun, it is also very cold. The temperature on Mars can be ­62 on average. This is much too cold for humans.

However, scientists say it might be possible to live there even without a good air. Daytime on Mars is almost the same as Earth's. It means there's enough sunlight to grow plants inside safe buildings. However, they would have to grow in soil from Earth. Mars does not have a strong enough air to stop the radiation(辐射) coming from space, which makes it dangerous to grow things in the soil.

The radiation also causes problems for our health. One way we could live there would be to build homes under ground or within the rocks on the planet. This would give humans the protection(保护) from the radiation and also some heat.

When could we live on Mars? NASA is hoping to make some progress within the next 20 years.

1.Which of the following about Mars is TRUE?

A. Its air is good for humans.　　 B. It has enough oxygen on Mars.

C. It's a little colder than Earth.　　 D. It's not close to the sun.

2.Why is it possible to grow plants on Mars?

A. Because there is enough sunlight.

B. Because the soil is good on Mars.

C. Because it has little oxygen there.

D. Because it has the strong radiation.

3.What's the passage mainly about?

A. How to grow plants on Mars.

B. How to live on Mars without danger.

C. How to keep warm on Mars.

D. How to improve the air on Mars.
