But，occasionally，dreams can turn less pleasant．In the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen，more than 500bicycles for hire have been found dumped in huge piles on the streets，according to reports．Pictures showed vehicles nearly three metres high，with small parts on the ground．City streets around the country have seen an explosion of the colourful bikes that users can rent on demand with a smartphone app and then park wherever they choose．‎ The sharing economy is taking off in China，where ride﹣sharing and Airbnb are increasingly commonplace．From Shanghai to Sichuan province，bike﹣sharing are being started in an effort to reduce traffic jam and air pollution by putting a country once known as the"Kingdom of Bicycles"back on two wheels．‎ Companies such as Ofo and Mobike，with their yellow and orange bikes，have been in a cut﹣throat battle for customers．But problems have arisen when clients have abandoned their cycles．"Some people these days just have really bad character，"a man named He，who lives near where the piles appeared，told the Southern Metropolis Daily．"When they're done using （the bike） they just throw it away somewhere，because they've already paid．Residents told the paper that bikes had been piling up over the past week，either parked randomly by careless users or piled by local security guards trying to clear narrow residential alleys and footpaths．‎ Zhuang Chuangyu，a representative at Shenzhen's municipal people's congress，said the city needed to step up regulation of the bike﹣sharing industry in order to improve traffic conditions and safety standards，especially since schoolchildren often used the bikes．‎ In 1980，almost 63% of commuters cycled to work，the Beijing Morning Post reported in 2015，citing government data．But by 2000 that number had decreased to 38% and today it stands at less than 12%．Car use，meanwhile，has rocketed．In 2010 China overtook the US to become the world's largest car market，with 13.5m vehicles sold in just 12 months．‎ ‎24．Why can we say bike﹣sharing in China is a boom？　 　‎ A．Because entrepreneurs will become rich because of it．‎ B．Because it will transform China's traffic﹣jammed cities．‎ C．Because vehicles are nearly three metres high．‎ D．Because city streets have seen an increase of it．‎ ‎25．What is mentioned about the sharing economy？　 　‎ A．It refers to smartphones and apps．‎ B．Airbnb has been a common thing．‎ C．China has taken a step in it．‎ D．It is widespread across China．‎ ‎26．What do we know about Ofo and Mobike？　 　‎ A．They are yellow and orange bikes．‎ B．They are in competition with each other．‎ C．They cause the clients to abandon their cycles．‎ D．They have really bad character．‎ ‎27．Which of the following may the author agree with？　 　‎ A．Careless users and local guards are to blame for the piling bikes．‎ B．Regulations should be strict for schoolchildren．‎ C．Many users lack proper behavior in using the bikes．‎ D．China overtook the US becoming back on two wheels．‎ ‎ ‎ C ‎ On January 13，2016，France became the first country in the world to pass a law requiring supermarkets to donate that is approaching its expiration date（有效期） instead of throwing it away．The regulation that applies to super﹣markets over 4，000 square feet requires stores to sign donation contracts with local food banks．‎ The law also makes it illegal for stores to pour bleach（漂白剂） or water over nearly expired food，or store it inside locked warehouses until it is picked up by garbage trucks．These extreme measures are often undertaken by supermarkets to prevent the hungry from foraging through the trash bins．Supermarkets that do not obey the new law face the risk of large amounts of fines．The law also requires the charities receiving the donations to store the food in a hygienic manner and，more importantly，give it out with dignity．‎ Jacques Bailet，who heads a network of French food banks called the Banques Alimentaires，says that of the 110，000 tons of goods received annually，only 36，000 tons comes from ‎ supermarkets．Bailet estimates that just a 15% increase in supermarket donations would translate to over 10 million additional meals to feed the hungry each year．‎ Though this is a great first step，Arash Dermabarsh，the activist responsible for the grassroots movement that led to the ban，is not done．He now wants to extend the law to other sectors like restaurants，bakeries，and school cafeterias and also try to convince other countries in the European Union to pass similar regulations．These steps arc necessary because of the over 9 million tons of food wasted in France，an astonishing 67% i．s thrown by consumers，with supermarkets and restaurants making up the rest．‎ Sadly enough，the statistics are similar in industrialized countries as well．That is why we all need to do our share to cut back the over l.3 billion tons of perfectly good food that ends up in our landfills （垃圾填埋场） annually! This will not just help feed the less fortunate，but also aid in our fight against global warming．An added bonus？It will save the world billions of dollars!‎ ‎28．What's the purpose of the author's writing the text？　　‎ A To show France takes the lead in caring for the poor．‎ B To remind supermarkets to be cautious before throwing food waste．‎ C．To doubt whether the law concerning supermarket food waste is practical．‎ D．To state France becomes the first in the world to ban supermarket food waste．‎ ‎29．What will probably happen to a supermarket if it doesn't obey the new law？　　‎ A．It will get fined seriously．‎ B．It will be forced to close down C．Its boss will be taken to the court D．Its boss will be sentenced to prison ‎30．By mentioning what Jacque Bailet says，the author wants to show　　‎ A．he is in charge of France's food banks B．supermarkets have been active in donating food C．only 15% increase in supermarket donation is no use D．supermarket donation could make a great difference to the hungry ‎31．What can be inferred from the last paragraph？　　‎ A．Every year L 3billion tons of food is thrown away as waste．‎ B．Food recycled in the whole world is worth up to billions of dollars．‎ C．France government doesn't have enough confidence in other countries．‎ D．The donation of nearly expired food has an indirect influence on the environment．‎ D ‎ There is a lot of talk these days about how kids should be interested in science. Here’s an area of science for everyone, and these cool new books might inspire you to discover your inner scientist.‎ Scaly Spotted Feathered Frilled by Catherine Thimmesh, 58 pages, ages 9-12‎ ‎    Seeing a picture or a model of a dinosaur, do you wonder how anybody knows what they look like? After all, nobody has seen a living dinosaur. This book explains how scientists and artists work together to re-create dinosaurs. As scientific discoveries have been made, the models have changed. Scientific tests may one day expose what a dinosaur’s color1 ing was, but now artists have to use their imagination to determine how these huge creatures looked.‎ Beyond the Solar System by Mary Kay Carson, 128 pages, ages 10-13‎ ‎    This book takes readers back to the beginnings of space exploration—thousands of years ago, when people began star observation—and forward to today’s search for planets in distant parts of the Milky Way. Along with history lessons, readers get 21 activities, such as making a black hole and creating a model of Albert Einstein’s universe using a T-shirt. The activities are perfect for cold winter days.‎ Ultimate Bugopedia by Darlyne Murawski and Nancy Honovich, 272 pages, ages 7 and older ‎    If you’re always on the lookout for butterflies, this book is for you. Hundreds of color1 photos of common and unusual insects fill this hardcover. There are fascinating stories related to the photos. For example, do you know an insect feeds on the tears of Asian cattle? There’s a question-and-answer section with an insect scientist and advice on how to help preserve endangered insects.‎ Journey Into the Invisible by Christine Schlitt, 80 pages, ages 9-12‎ If you use a magnifying（放大的）glass, you know a leaf looks quite different. This book explains what microscopes do and then shows what happens to things around the house when watched with this amazing scientific tool. The bacteria in your mouth, when magnified 20,000 times, look a bit like swimming pool noodles. Fascinating photos are paired with suggestions about how to learn about the world around you, just by looking a little closer. ‎ ‎32.

Yet, we ignore them. We can’t even see our ears, except in a mirror. We take for granted what they do for us day in and day out－until we notice something’s wrong, such as when an earache strikes or when we start having to ask people to repeat what they say.   36 ‎ ‎◆ Clean your ear with a washcloth－covered finger only.‎ Never put anything inside your ear canal, including cotton swabs (药签).  37 ‎ ‎◆ Leave earwax(耳垢) alone.‎ Wax is your ear’s way of eliminating(消除) anything foreign that gets into the ear canal.  38  If you find you have too much earwax, use a few drops of earwax remover(去除剂) in the canal. After a few minutes, wash the ear with warm water.‎ ‎◆ Avoid noisy places.‎ Rock concerts and construction sites are just a few places that frequently have noise levels that can damage hearing. Any place where you have to shout to be heard should be avoided.‎ ‎◆  39 ‎ Be careful not to play MP3 too loud, especially if using earphone.‎ ‎◆Be careful with illness and medications.‎ Respiratory (呼吸的) illnesses should be treated to avoid their spread to the ears. Certain medications can damage hearing, so follow the directions carefully before taking them.‎ See your doctor if you suffer from sudden hearing loss or hear noises in your head.  40 ‎ A. Most people don’t need to clean wax out of their ears.‎ B. In such case, go to see a doctor as soon as possible.‎ C. These can be symptoms of a serious illness which needs to be treated.‎ D. This article will show you how to care for your ears.‎ E. Turn the volume(音量)down F. Avoid using earphones while listening to MP3.‎ G.

to say something about our activity，the topic of which is"I Love Chinese Classical Poetry"．The activity is aimed at motivating us students to learn Chinese classical poetry actively and inheriting Chinese traditional ‎ culture．‎ Why I love Chinese classical poetry is that it has a certain rhyme and is written in simple language，making it easy to learn and recite．Besides，it usually conveys true emotions towards family，friends or the country，which can make us acquire various emotional experiences．‎ In my opinion，reading classical poems can improve our understanding of the Chinese language．As we know，it is a treasure of Chinese culture．Only after we learn more about Chinese Classical poems will it deepen our understanding of our culture．‎ I hope the activity will be a great success and everyone can learn much from it．‎ That's all．Thank you．‎
