The Netherlands on Monday introduced its first-ever intelligent bicycle, fitted with electronic devices to help bring down the high accident rate among elderly cyclists in the bicycle-mad country.
Developed for the government by the Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research （TNO）, the intelligent bicycle, runs on electricity. A
commercial-available bicycle is expected to be on the market in the
next two years and should sell for between 1, 700 to 3, 200 euros per
bicycle.
The devices on the bike are linked through an onboard computer with a vibrating （震动的） warning system fitted in the bicycle's saddle and handlebars to warn cyclists of the coming danger.
The saddle vibrates when other cyclists approach from behind, while, the handlebars do the same when barriers appear ahead.
"Accidents often happen when cyclists look behind them or get a fright when they are passed at high speed," said Maurice Kwakkernaat, one of TNO's research scientists involved in the project. "The onboard system technology has already been at work in the car industry," he said.
''More and more elderly people are using a bicycle, not only for short distances, but also for longer distances," Dutch Environment and Infrastructure Minister Melanie Schultz van Haegen told AFP. "This type of bicycle is truly needed in the Netherlands because it will help us bring down the number of elderly people who are injured every year and allow them to continue to enjoy cycling," she said.
In the Netherlands, bicycles outnumber the population of 17 million by at least one million and there are some 25,000 km of bicycle path in the country. Those statistics are set to grow as more and more people take to two-wheeled transport, leading to an increased risk of injury.
Last year, 184 cyclists died in the country, of which 124, or 67%, were older than 65, according to the Central Statistics Office. The year before, 200 cyclists died, the majority of victims also being elderly.
The current model weighs 25 kilograms but researchers are working on making the onboard systems smaller.
4. The intelligent bicycle is aimed to ________.
A. protect the environment
B. help reduce traffic pressure
C. popularize the use of bicycles
D. improve safety for elderly cyclists
5. Which part of the intelligent bicycle will vibrate when another cyclist was suddenly
found ahead ？
A. The handlebars.
B. The wheels.
C. The saddle.
D. The onboard computer.
6. We can learn from the passage that ________.
A. the elderly ride bicycles wherever they go
B. the accident rate among elderly cyclists is high
C. the number of elderly cyclists is decreasing
D. the elderly are planning to give up cycling
7. Which is the best title for the passage？
A. A T est Bicycle
B. Elderly Cyclists
C. A Smart Bicycle
D. A Bicycle-mad Country
C
Can eating a chocolate bar every day really prevent age-related memory loss？ No. But a new research shows that large amounts of flavones, substances found in cocoa, tea and some kinds of vegetables, may improve age-related memory failure.
Dr. Scott Small is a professor of neurology （神经病学） at Columbia University in new York City. He is the lead writer of a research paper describing the effects of cocoa flavones on brain activity. His study involved 37 volunteers aged between 50 and 69. Researchers gave them a high-level flavones drink made from cocoa beans or a low-level flavones drink. For a period of three months, some subjects got 900 milligrams of flavones a day. The others got 10 milligrams of flavones each day. Brain imaging and memory tests were given to each study subject before and after the study. Dr. Small says that the subjects who had the high-level flavones drink showed much improvement on memory tests.
The researchers warn that more work is needed to be done because this study was performed only on a small group. Dr. Joann Manson is the lead researcher of a four-year study involving 18,000 adults. This study will use flavones capsules. The study subjects will be divided into two groups and will take two pills per day. The capsules used will all look the same. But one group's capsules will contain flavones, while the other group will take capsules made of an inactive substance, or placebo.
Dr. Manson says it's not necessary for people to start eating more chocolate, because 3 persons would have to eat a huge amount of chocolate to get the same level of flavones given to the rest subjects. He adds many manufacturers have planned to remove the flavones from their chocolate products. Similarly, Dr. Manson says a cocoa-based flavones extract（提取）may be developed in the future. But he says that more studies are needed to see how much flavones is good for our health.
8. What was done to the subjects after Dr. Small's study？
A. They were asked to take a high-level flavones drink.
B. They were given capsules containing flavones.
C. They were given brain imaging and memory tests.
D. They were asked to take two pills of flavones capsules per day.
9. What's the similarity of the two experiments？
A. Both use high-level flavones capsules.
B. The number of the subjects is the same.
C. Drinks and placebos are used in both experiments.
D. The subjects are divided into two groups in both experiments.
10. Why will Dr. Manson carry out the four-year study？
A. T o prove the first experiment is wrong.
B. To carry out the experiment further.
C. T o test how much flavones can improve our memory.
D. T o show eating chocolate is better to improve memory.
11. What can we learn from the last paragraph？
A It's not necessary for us to eat chocolate.
B The more we eat flavones, the better our health will be.
C. In the future we can get flavones without eating chocolate.
D. It's easy for people to get the same level of flavones given to the test subjects.
D
On the eve of our daughters’ weddings, I gave both of them what I considered to be excellent marital advice：never leave your husband unsupervised （无人监督的） with pruning shears （修枝剪）.
If only I had taken my own advice.I recently let my guard down. Thirty-some years of marriage can do that to a woman. Give a man pruning shears and electric trimmers （电动修剪器）and he will give new meaning to “armed and dangerous.”
One day earlier this year, my husband said that the crab apple tree was dead.
“Why do you think it is dead？” I asked.
“Look at it. There’s not a leaf on it.”
“There’s not a leaf on anything. It’s March,” I said.
“It looked sick last fall and with this bitter winter we had, I’m convinced it’s dead.”
The truth is he’s never liked the crab apple. Sure, it has beautiful blooms in the spring, but then it gets a disease, the leaves curl, and it drops those little apples that sit on the driveway.
Each passing week he pronounced the tree dead. Eventually I began to believe him. Though he agreed it would be a regrettable loss, there was a twinkle in his eye. He armed himself a couple of weeks ago and began trimming. A branch here, a branch there, a small limb, then a large limb. I watched and then decided to check the wood on some of the branches closer to
the trunk. I broke one off and saw green.
The crab apple wa s not dead. It just hadn’t had time to leaf out. The tree was now falling to one side, but it was not dead. I would have told him so, but he had moved on to a maple. Once the man starts, he can’t stop. One trim leads to another.
“Please, stop!” I called.
He smiled and nodded, but he couldn’t hear because he had started the hedge （树篱）trimmers and was getting ready to fix a line of hedges.
Zip （飕飕声）, zip, zip.
“What do you think？” he shouted.
“It’s supposed to be a privacy hedge; now all that will be private are our ankles.”
He started the trimmers again. “Stop!” I called, “Come back!”
“Why？” he shouted.
“You’re in the neighbor’s yard.”
12. By saying “if only I had taken my own advice.” the author means that _____.
A. she should have kept a closer watch on her husband
B. she feels regretful about her marriage after many years
C. she didn’t follow her own advice about pruning shears
D. she shouldn’t have given that marital advice to her daughters
13. We can learn from the article that the author’s husband ______.
A. has a great talent for gardening
B. had never used pruning shears before
C. mistook their crab apple tree for a maple tree
D. nearly ruined their neighbor’s garden
14. What does the article mainly talk about？
A. Why husbands shouldn’t be left t o trim trees alone.
B. Why the author’s husband insisted on trimming their crab apple tree.
C. How the author has survived her “thirty-some” years of marriage.
D. How the author’s husband killed their crab apple tree.
15. What is the tone of the article？
A. Anxious.
B. Humorous.
C. Serious.
D. Critical.

The iPod Generation
Today it is common to see people who walk about with colored wires hanging from their ears wherever they go. They move about in their personal bubbles, sometimes unaware of what’s happening around them. _16 Outside life is shut out. So are you one of them？
For me, walking around in my own personal bubble is perfect. _17 What’s even better, wearing earphones seems to give a signal to people which says：“I’m not available for chatting at the moment”.
Suppose, you’re at work and about to make an incredible breakthrough. But a colleague suddenly turns up. At this precise moment, the slightest disturbance would break your concentration. _18 Once again, those wires hanging from your ears would be sure to give that “Go away!” signal.
_19 It’s probably part of the growing up stage when they just want to ignore their whole
family while their mothers give them le ctures about why they should do their “Yes, Mum.” Problem solved.
Pretty soon, not only will we have pretty colored wires hanging from our ears but also our brains will be directly plugged into some new high-tech instruments. We’ll be in a virtual world, communicating with everyone else, or choosing not to, as we like. In this world, we will all be permanently plugged in. __20 And they are changing our social habits along the way.
In the end, there is a thin line between using technology as a tool for making life better and being a slave to it! It’s so strange. Suddenly, I don’t feel like wearing my earphones anymore.
A. Our instruments are changing quickly.
B. I also have wires hanging from my ears.
C. In the home situation, teenagers love these wires.
D. I don’t have to deal with the noise from the environment.
E. After all, I am listening to my favourite music and would rather not be disturbed.
F. Listening to music through earphones is the perfect way to ignore such interruptions.
G. They walk around in their own spaces, with their personal digital noise reduction systems.

Hi Sharon,
This is Li Hua. I learned from your post that you want to improve your Mandarin. I am quite interested in it. I think I’m fit for it. As a student, I have been learning Mandarin for many years. In addition, I am Chinese, which means Mandarin is a must for me to communicate with others in my daily life. So I’m quite confident that I can help you learn Mandarin.
Learning Mandarin takes time, so if you want to learn it well, you should spend much time practicing Mandarin every day. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. Besides, you can also read some books in Chinese，see some Chinese films and listen to some Chinese radio programs. Speaking and listening are very important for language learning, by which you are sure to make great progress.
In your post, you say you can teach English as a reward. It is just what I want. I’m eager to improve my English. So, if you allow me to help you learn Mandarin, you can also help me improve my English. We can contact each other by video chat every night for half an hour in English and half an hour in Chinese, so that we can improve our oral speaking.
Hope for you early reply!
