Theft Prevention Always securely lock your bicycle to a bicycle rack---even if you are only away for a minute. Register your bike with the University Department of Public Safety. It's fast, easy, and free. Registration permanently records your serial number, which is useful in the possible recovery of the bike stolen.
Equipment
*Brakes (刹车, 闸) Make sure that they are in good working order and adjusted properly.
*Helmet (头盔) (a necessity) Make sure your helmet meets current safety standards and fits properly.
*Lights Always have a front headlight --- visible at least 500 feet in front of the bike. A taillight is a good idea.

If you are involved in an accident, you are required to offer appropriate aid, call the Department of Public Safety and remain at the scene until the officer lets you go.
Bicycle Parking Only park in areas reserved for bikes. Trees, handrails, hallways, and signposts are not for bicycle parking, and parking in such posts can result in a fine.

9 . With the fragrance industry expected to be worth an enormous $92 billion by 2024, there is big money to be made from scents. As the fashion and marketing industry moves away from targeting men and women and onto a more inclusive, non-gendered approach, fragrance companies are doing the exact same-creating products that can be worn happily by all genders. The smells we’re drawn to are inherently universal, across all genders and including all noses. With this in mind, we tested our noses against three of the brands that have made a play for gender neutrality.
| Eccentric Molecules The unique selling point of Eccentric Molecules is that it's designed to smell completely different on every wearer, reacting with our natural scents to create a unique blend. With potential for sharing with a loved one, their packaging is a practical if a little unromantic, simple bottle. Still, upon opening their best seller "Molecule 01", the journey begins. Upon first spray, the overwhelming scent is of alcohol, but it soon settles into a barely-there smell that recalls soft leather and feels surprisingly soothing on skin. Top Scent: Molecule 01, ￡72 for 100ml |
| Clean Reserve Clean Reserve smells like it sounds-bright, fresh scents that would appeal to those who prefer light smell. It is also perfect for keeping in your gym or day bag to freshen up yourself. Packaging feels weighty and luxurious — without compromising sustainability — the bottle is made from sustainability -managed fores: wood and even the alcohol is derived from corn. Top Scent: Rain, £82 for100ml |
| Laboratory Perfumes Packaged in chemistry-class bottles, this brand's latest collection is strongly inspired by Britain and its natural abundance of herbs and flowers. What results are grown-up, powerful scents. Our clear favourites from the collection couldn't be more different —“Samphire” is a refreshing coastal scent mixed with rose, while “Atlas” is a strong blend of wine and tobacco, an easy signature scent for day and night with minimal reapplication needed. Top Scent: Atlas, £65 for 100ml |
| A．to analyze how smells influence us |
| B．to sell the idea of non-gendered fragrance |
| C．to inform the readers of a latest fashion trend |
| D．to justify the development of fragrance industry |
| A．practical and simple packaging |
| B．sustainable packaging made from wood |
| C．a soft and light scent |
| D．smelling totally different on every user |
| A．Molecule 01. | B．Rain. | C．Samphire. | D．Atlas. |
10 . The Chinese version of TikTok-Douyin is introducing a “teenage mode” that will limit the amount of time children under the age of 14 spend on the short-form video app to 40 minutes a day.
The measure will apply to all Douyin users under the age of 14 who have registered for the app using their real names, Beijing-based ByteDance announced in a statement on Saturday.
Douyin will also be unavailable to those users between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m., the owner of TikTok and Douyin added.
The company also urged parents to help their children register with real names, or otherwise manually enable “teenage mode.” ByteDance did not immediately respond to a question from CNN Business about how it might enforce (执行) the- policy for those who don’t use then real names.
The app also said it would introduce new content-ranging from science experiments and museums to art gallery exhibition and natural scenery-by ByteDance to get ahead of potential regulation analysts at Citigroup Global Markets wrote in a Monday research note. They suggested that the decision could push other internet platforms with short video content to look at implementing similar restrictions.
“Self-assessment and voluntary implementation (履行) of minor-protection measures by more platforms could help suggest platforms are being more socially responsible and potentially reassure parents and regulators,” they added.
Douyin had at least 490 million users in November 2020, according to media research firm iiMedia Research.
Chinese regulators have already started pressuring tech companies to curb the amount of time minors spend on their services.
In June, China revised its “Minor Protection law,” which requires internet service providers including social media apps-to “set-up corresponding functions such as time management, content restriction and consumption limits for minors.”
Douyin’s rival Kuaishou-which is backed by Tencent-introduced a similar setting for minors in2019.
China’s pressure on tech companies is part of sweeping new regulations on businesses focused on the next generation, from a heavy crackdown-on-private tutoring to rules for online gaming.
Last month, the country barred online gamers under the age of 18 from playing on weekdays and limited their play to just three hours most weekends.
1. Which is the best title of the passage?| A．Tech companies are limiting entertainment. |
| B．Tech companies are facing a lot of pressure. |
| C．Douyin is limiting kids to 40 minutes a day. |
| D．Young generation is banned from short videos. |
| A．save | B．control |
| C．increase | D．minimize |
| A．Because it is required by Chinese regulators. |
| B．Because it fits the current trend in regulations. |
| C．Because it can appeal to more young people. |
| D．Because it can help grab more market share. |
| A．Children under 18 will not be able to use Douyin on weekdays. |
| B．The “teenage mode” aims to help students focus 0on studies. |
| C．Kuaishou is the first company to introduce setting for minors. |
| D．There still exists some problem about “teenage mode”. |
