6 . 阅读以下短文, 并从下列的六个句子中选择五个还原到原文中, 使原文的意思完整、连贯。

Riding a bike can be great fun for you, and it’s a good way to keep fit. However, bike riding is also dangerous, especially when you’re sharing the road with motorized (机动车的) traffic.     1    

Do not use your mobile phone while cycling

You should not use mobile phone while riding bikes because it can take the rider’s attention away from the road and people around you.     2     In addition, using a mobile phone while cycling may be illegal. People will be fined because of their behaviours.

Do not change your direction suddenly

    3     Always look carefully before you start, stop or turn. You need to let drivers know you have seen them. Otherwise, it may cause collision (碰撞) with cars.

Make sure your bike is safe

Is your bike checked from time to time? If not, why not? Brakes (刹车) must work well in all situations: dry and wet.     4     This benefits the rider and other road users.

Follow traffic laws

Traffic laws apply to you as a cyclist, as well as other road users.     5     You must stop for red lights and avoid riding in motor ways. By obeying these rules, riders can keep themselves and others safe on the road.

A．So cyclists should follow traffic rules.

B．Are the tyres in good condition to protect the safety of your trip?

C．Here are some suggestions on how to keep safe.

D．Show drivers what you plan to do in plenty of time.

E．Ride across pedestrian crossings, unless you are allowed to.

F．It can increase the risk of accidents.

7 . How to lower costs and improve the living quality?

There are numerous products posted on social media, and you might believe an electric toothbrush, Luna facial cleaning massager, a flight ticket to Phuket and so on will bring you a better life. But for many graduates or those who have worked for only one or two years, your income cannot keep pace with (跟上) expense.     1     Here are some tips:

Keep running or doing yoga

It seems to be a challenge to afford a fitness center costing over 10,000 yuan in annual fees or for a personal trainer. But you can buy a pair of sneakers or a yoga mat instead. Running in a park regularly or doing yoga at home using free online resources is definitely a type of quality life.    2    

Go to museums or libraries

Chasing young good-looking stars, watching their films and buying expensive tickets for their concerts are popular with many young people.    3     You seem to fail to take into account (考虑到)   a variety of exhibitions and resources updated frequently in major cities. Why not have a try? What you need to do is to choose themes that you are interested in, make an online appointment in advance and then enjoy your weekend.

    4     For some young people, the easy access and the discounts of online shopping make it really attractive. Sometimes what you buy online is not what you really need and the demands are created by the producers. For example, many young people buy new clothing that they don’t wear.     5     Money is not the only thing that can drive your quality of living, but your optimistic attitude towards life and self-disciplined way of life are.

A．Stop over-spending online

B．So, how can we save some money and improve quality of life?

C．To live a quality life requires more self-discipline than money.

D．However, this would do little to enrich your spiritual life and add to economic burdens.

E．Exercise is more rewarding than holding a membership card at an expensive fitness club.
