A bicycle may be seen by most people as just another vehicle （交通工具）， but for many Londoners， cycling is a way of life. According to a UK government survey in 2017， about 570，000 bike journeys were made every day in London. In fact， almost half of the vehicles that pass over London Bridge each day are bikes.
London introduced a public bike-sharing system in 2010. “There can be no doubt that our trusty bicycles have changed the way people get around our great city，” Johnson told The Guardian in 2015.
In London， bikes are used for more than just taking short trips to and from the subway. No matter where you want to go in the city， riding a bike is usually the quickest and easiest choice.
And it’s not just shared bikes that the government is encouraging people to ride. In many companies across the UK， the UK government’s Cycle to Work scheme （骑行倡议） allows workers to buy a brand new bike without having to pay any tax （税）. This means that it’s common to see many people cycling to and from work， and some companies even provide workplace showers and lockers for their workers. More importantly， a cycle-friendly boss may let you off for being late if you rode a bike to work.
Not only is it great for the environment and our body， cycling is also good for the mind. According to National Geographic magazine， “Bike riding can improve people’s happiness.”

B. By giving examples.

D. By using famous sayings.

B. Free bike-sharing services.
C. Shorter working hours.
D. Tax-free bikes.
8. What does the text mainly talk about？
A. Cycling—a healthy way of life.
B. London’s public bike-sharing system.
C. How cycling has become popular in London.
D. Why Londoners are encouraged to ride bikes.

There have never been many adventurers. But they were really businessmen. There was something they wanted—a lady， or money， or a country， or honor. And so they got it. But a true adventure is different. He starts without any special purpose. He is ready for anything he may meet.
There have been many half-adventurers. History is rich with their stories. But each of them had a special purpose. They were not followers of true adventure.
In the big city of New York， romance and adventure are always waiting.
We look up suddenly and see a face in a window. The face seems to interest us strangely. Or in a quiet street， we hear a cry of fear and pain coming from a house where no one lives. A car takes us to a strange door， instead of to our own. The door opens and we are asked to enter. At every corner， eyes look toward us， or hands are raised， or fingers point.
But few of us are ready to accept. We wish to do only the things that everyone else does. We move on; and some day we come to the end of a long quiet life. Then we begin to think. Then， when it is too late， we are sorry that we have never known true romance and adventure.
A. Adventure is offered.
B. And they were great men.
C. They’re famous for their stories.
D. So life is always full of adventures.
E. As we walk along the street， they are watching us.
F. You have read stories about men called adventurers.
G. We are ready to do only the things we do every day.

Most heroes are not super. They don’t appear in comic books， on television， or in movies. They just do what they believe needs to be done to make their world a better place. Bike Batman is one of them.
Bike Batman is an engineer who lives in Seattle， Washington. He is a cyclist who also buys and sells bikes as a hobby.
About three years ago， he was looking for a bike for his wife. He found one on Craigslist， a website where people list things they want to sell. As he often does， he also looked at Bike Index， a popular website that allows users to register their bikes and post reports when they’re taken. The bike， which he was considering purchasing， clearly matched one reported stolen on Bike index. Then he called the person who claimed to be the bike’s owner and arranged to meet him—supposedly to complete the sale. When the two men met， Bike Batman told the thief， “You’ve got two options. You can wait until a police officer gets here， or you can just get out of here.” You can imagine what the thief did.
After that first success， Bike Batman developed a safer routine. When he sees questionable bike ads on Craigslist， he cross-references the image with bikes reported on Bike Index. Once he has confirmed it with the owner， he arranges a meet-up with the thief and will call the Seattle police department so that officers can participate in the action. In more than half of the 22 cases in which he has got back and returned bikes， the thieves have been arrested.
The idea of a superhero punishing criminals feels pretty silly to him， but the main reason he continues his work is to keep up Seattle’s reputation as a friendly city.
1. What is Bike Batman？
A. A superhero. B. A police officer.
C. A Seattle citizen. D. A website manager.
2. What will Bike Batman first do when he discovers a questionable bike？
A. Arrange to meet the thief.
B. Call the police department.
C. Contact the owner of the stolen bike.
D. Look up the bike’s information on Bike Index.
3. Why does Bike Batman help find the lost bikes？
A. To become famous. B. To help poor people.
C. To punish bike thieves. D. To build a friendly city.
4. What can we learn about Bike Batman from the text？
A. He sold bikes on Bike Index.
B. He wanted to be a police in Seattle.
C. He began his good deeds by accident.
D. He felt relieved to see the thieves arrested.

Traveling alone gives you the freedom to create your own schedule and do as you please. For example， a travel partner can provide practical support and share in the rewards of first-hand experience with unfamiliar locations and cultures. Here are several tips to find a travel partner who will improve your journey.
Traveling should be fun. When you are on a trip， you will want to do lots of activities that you enjoy. Preferably， your companion will want to do the same things as you.
Discuss financial plans. Before you travel， you should plan a budget. You don’t want to be planning an expensive getaway at the same time your friend is looking for budget travel.
Have an honest conversation. If you are thinking about traveling with a companion， take some time to have an open discussion. Schedule a time to sit down and talk. Try saying， “I know we’ve talked about the idea of traveling through Europe together. Let’s have a coffee this week and actually talk that through.” You should also talk about your travel style.
Find someone who is flexible. Choose a travel partner who can adjust. Maybe it will rain on the day you planned to visit the Grand Canyon. Or you might not be able to get reservations at that French restaurant you’ve been dying to try.
A. Look for someone with common interests.
B. You should discuss your goals for the trip.
C. Travel with a friend who is pretty easy-going.
D. But traveling with a partner has its benefits， too.
E. Make sure that you are on the same page concerning money.
F. Try to meet your new travel partner in person before your trip.
G. No matter how carefully you plan your trip， it is likely that something will go wrong.

中国最美的火车旅行线路
While planes and high-speed trains get us to our destination quicker， as travelers， we also miss some fantastic scenery along the way. A long train ride allows us to slow down and enjoy more leisure time on the road. Here， we recommend some of the most popular railway trips in China.
尽管飞机和高铁能让我们更快地到达目的地，但作为旅行者，我们可能会错过沿途一些美丽的风景。长途火车旅行能让我们放慢速度，尽情享受路上的悠闲时光。以下我们推荐几条中国最受欢迎的火车旅行线路。
Road into the clouds
天路之旅
Route： Xining， Qinghai to Lhasa， Tibet
路线：青海西宁到西藏拉萨
Known as the highest railway in the world， the Qinghai—Tibet railway—or “Heavenly Road”—climbs to 5，000 meters above sea level. Since its inauguration in 2006， it has provided easier access to “the Roof of the World”. On the way， you can view different landscapes： the beautiful Qinghai Lake， the grand Kunlun Mountains， the mysterious source of the Yangtze River， the vast Qiangtang grasslands， and the Yangpachen landscape. When the train passes through Hoh Xil National Nature Reserve， you may even see Tibetan antelopes and other wild animals running on the plateau.
青藏铁路是世界上最高的铁路，被誉为“天路”，海拔高达5000米。2006年正式通车以来，去往“世界屋脊”（喜马拉雅山）更加便捷。途中，你可以欣赏到别样的风景：美丽的青海湖、壮观的昆仑山脉、神秘的长江源头、广袤的羌塘草原以及羊八井风景区。当火车经过可可西里自然保护区时，你甚至还可能看见在高原上奔跑的藏羚羊和其他野生动物。
Voyage through history
穿越历史之路
Route： Xi’an， Shaanxi to Dunhuang， Gansu
路线：陕西西安到甘肃敦煌
From Xi’an， the beginning of the ancient Silk Road， to Dunhuang， famous for the Mogao Grottoes， this is a trip through China’s history. The relics of the Great Wall in the Ming Dynasty， the Jiayuguan Pass， and the snow-capped Qilian Mountains are worth seeing. In Lanzhou， you can see the Yellow River flowing through the city. As the train passes through the long Hexi Corridor， endless views of the Gobi Desert await.
从古老的丝绸之路的起点西安到以莫高窟而闻名的敦煌，可谓是一段感受中国古老历史的旅程。明长城遗迹、嘉峪关以及被积雪覆盖的祁连山脉都值得一看。在兰州，你可以看到穿城而过的黄河。火车经过河西走廊时，一眼望去无穷无尽的戈壁沙漠尽收眼底。
Top choice for nature lovers
大自然热爱者的首选
Route： Guangzhou， Guangdong to Anshun， Guizhou
路线：广东广州到贵州安顺
This is a journey to embrace China’s picturesque nature. You can see dense forests and red soil in the western part of Guangdong Province. As the train climbs to the Yunnan—Guizhou Plateau， the gnarled rocky hills， karst landforms and layered terraces will amaze you. With blue skies， verdant mountains and fresh air along the whole way， it’s a good chance to relax and refresh yourself.
这段旅程将中国美丽如画的自然风景尽收眼底。你可以看见广东省西部郁郁葱葱的森林和红色的土壤。随着列车开往云贵高原，古老粗犷的岩石山、喀斯特地貌和梯田也会让你大开眼界。沿途有蔚蓝的天空、苍翠的山峦、新鲜的空气，这是放松自我的好机会。
Trip for all seasons
四季旅行好去处
Route： Shenyang， Liaoning to Manzhouli， Inner Mongolia
路线：辽宁沈阳到内蒙古满洲里
This route stretches into the cold northeast regions of China. In winter， the endless forests covered with snow in the Greater and Lesser Hinggan Mountains are very attractive. In summer， it’s a good choice to escape the heat. There are extensive areas of grassland in Inner Mongolia. At every stop， tourists can experience the thigh-deep snow before returning to the cozy warmth of their compartment.
这条路线一直绵延到严寒的中国东北地区。冬天，白雪皑皑、一望无际的大小兴安岭的森林美景非常吸引人。夏天，那里又是避暑的好去处。內蒙古有广阔的草原。每到一站，游客都能从温暖的车厢里出来体验一下积雪齐膝的感觉。
