China is a land of bicycles.At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country.Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle.Millions of them，all black.Cars were rare.Yet since my arrival(到达) in Beijing last year，I’ve found the opposite is true.There are millions of cars.However，people still use their bicycles to get around.For many，it’s the easiest and cheapest way to travel today.Bicycles also come in different colors－silver，green，red，blue，yellow，whatever you want.
Eager（渴望的） to be part of Chinese culture，I bought a bicycle. I at once jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.
My first ride home was orderly．To be safe，I stayed with a“pack”of bikers while cars on the streets came running quickly out of nowhere at times.I didn’t want to get hit.So I took the ride carefully.
Crossing the streets was the biggest problem.It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States.The streets here were wide，so crossing took time，skill and a little bit of luck.
I finally made it home.The feeling on the bicycle was amazing.The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful.I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people.Biking made me feel alive.
25. According to the writer，why are bicycles still popular in China today?

A．Because they are traditional and safe.

B．Because they are easy and inexpensive.

C．Because they are colorful and useful.

D．Because they are fast and cheap.

26. The writer decided to buy a bicycle because he hoped ________.

A．to ride it for fun

B．to use it for transport

C．to experience local culture

D．to improve his riding skills

27. Which of the following best describes the writer’s biking experience?

A．The author enjoyed showing off his biking skills.

B．The author was annoyed by the air while riding.

C．The author was praised by the other bikers.

D．The author took great pleasure in biking.

If you've been joining in chat room conversation, or trading e-mail with net pals（网友 ）, you have become one of the millions who write in a special short form of English.
Throughout the world, every night children and their elders are "talking" online - many of them all talking at the same time.
It's fast: try talking to six people at once. It's easy: three or four words per exchange. It takes cleverness, and quick fingers.
And it requires very simple language. There’s neither time nor space for explanations. Why waste valuable time telling six friends you have to leave for a moment to take care of your little brother when BRB(=be right back) will do?
Want to enter a conversation? Just type PMFJI(=pardon me for jumping in).
Interested in whom you're talking to? A/S/L, the nearly universal request to know your pal's age, sex and location. You may get 15/M/NY as a response from your pal.
If something makes you laugh, say you're OTF(=on the floor), or LOL(=laughing out loud), or combine the two into ROTFL(=rolling on the floor laughing).
And when it's time to get back to work or go to bed, you type GTG(got to go) or TTYL(=talk to you later).People want to write as fast as possible, and they want to get their ideas across as quickly as they can. Capital letters(大写字母) are left in the dust, except when expressing strong feelings, as it takes more time to hold down the "shift" key and use capitals. Punctuation (标点) is going, too.
28. The sentence , “There’s neither time nor space for explanations” means that_______.

A．people should use words properly

B．people should know what time it is when they are talking

C．people online can express themselves in a simple way

D．people should communicate in a funny way

29. If you get 17/F/NY as an answer to your A/S/L, it means ______.

A．the person on the other end is 17 from New York and he is fine

B．you are talking to a girl who is 17 and lives in New York

C．you are talking to 17 girls who are from New York

D．the people you are talking to is a 17-foot tall New York girl.

30. Which of the following is a way to save online time?

A．People seldom use capital letters or punctuation marks.

B．People only use the mouse instead of the keyboard.

C．Many people draw pictures.

D．People never use the “shift” key.

Einstein often received invitations to explain his theories at different universities. On these trips, his driver was always the same man called Hans. Hans often said to him. “It is a pleasure to drive a talent like you, Dr Einstein.”
One evening, on their way to a university, Einstein said, “I’m so tired. I wish I could refuse to give my lecture(讲座) tonight, Hans, but I don’t want to let my audience down.”
“I know what to do,” said Hans. “I can give the lecture for you. You can trust me. I’ve listened to your lecture so many times that I’ve learnt it by heart. No one knows you at this university, so they won’t find out.”
So, they changed places. At the university, Hans was guided to the front of the hall. Einstein took a seat, listened to Hans give his lecture without difficulty, and joined in the applause (掌声) at the end.
However, before Hans left, a man shouted, “I’d like to ask you a question.” He then asked a difficult question and Hans had no idea what he was talking about.
Einstein turned pale. “Oh no!      ,” he thought. “Now we’re in trouble.” But Hans just laughed and said, “That’s such an easy question that even my driver can answer it. Hans, please…”
Einstein stood up and answered the question perfectly.
They left the university, with Einstein driving. A little later, Hans offered to drive. “No, ” laughed Einstein. “It’s a pleasure to drive a talent like you, Hans.”

Some people love going to museums，while others absolutely hate it and would rather stay at home，enjoying their favorite TV shows．Increasingly，museums are being seen as outdated and boring by today's youngsters．I have just returned to the UK after travelling around the USA． While there，I visited lots of museums   I must say，museums are typically educational, either to develop knowledge gained at school in particular subjects，or to enhance knowledge of other cultures
In Chicago，we visited the world-famous Art Institute of Chicago．It was filled with paintings，drawings and sculptures by a huge variety of artists，such as Picasso，Monet，Matisse and Dali．
There was a mixture of traditional and modern art，including colorful stained glass windows and abstract art．
When we were in Washington D． C． ，we visited a few of the Smithsonian museums．These are all free to visit-which is great if you just want to see a few things，and not spend all day inside．
The Air and Space Museum was particularly good：it had lots of aircrafts and rockets on display，interesting information and also some interactive parts．We also went to the National U．S．Holocaust（纳粹大屠杀）Memorial Museum．Naturally，it was sad to read about the horrors of this tragedy which affected so many people in World War II．However，it was also incredibly interesting to read the stories of those who survived the Holocaust，as well as those who helped others．
Last but not least，I also found the 9/11 Memorial and Museum to be of great interest．This museum is dedicated to those who lost their lives，as well as their families，when the Twin Towers in New York City were attacked by terrorists in 2001It tells you how the terrorists planned the attack，how they hijacked the planes，and ultimately what happened as a result of their actions．Surviving pieces of the towers are shown in the museum，alongside damaged fire engines．It was a truly thought-provoking visit，which made me value my own life that little bit more．
I think museums play an important role in preserving artifacts of historical importance for future generations．Whatever your interests，there is likely to be a museum for you．You can visit waxwork museums to see models of your favorite celebrities（and get photos with the Queen！），science museums for a more hands-on，interactive visit and so much more！Best of all，if you're ever in the UK，many of them are free！

Here are some English learning tips to help you improve your English.
Ask yourself weekly: What do I want to learn this week.
Asking yourself this question every week will help you think about what is most important to you. If you make a plan for each week, you will be surprised to notice how much you have improved your English by the end of the week! This feeling of success will encourage you to learn even more English.
Quickly review before going to bed.
Research has shown that our brains process(加工) information that is fresh in our brains while we sleep. By going over important knowledge before you go to sleep, your brain will work on this information while you sleep!
Speak English aloud.
Understanding grammar rules does not mean you can speak English well. You need to practice speaking aloud. Speaking by yourself at home and reading the exercises that you are doing will help connect the muscles（肌肉）of your face to the information in your head and improve your pronunciation.
Do five to ten minutes of listening at least four times a week.
If you decide that you are going to work hard and listen for two hours, maybe you will not do extra listening exercises soon. But if you listen five to ten minutes at least four times a week, you will find it’s not so hard to develop the habit of listening to English.
Look for situations to practice your English.
Learning English in a classroom is important, but using English in real situations will improve your English skills greatly. You can create new situations by using the Internet to listen to news, exchange emails in English with email friends, etc.
