Copenhagen is one of the best places in the world to be a bicyclist but there is a downside﹣﹣thousands of parked bicycles． Sometimes it gets out of control．

    In 2014， when Copenhagen got its Cycle Snake﹣a new bicycle﹣only bridge ﹣the city edged even closer to being a cyclists' paradise．

    There are in fact more bicycles in Copenhagen than people， five times as many bicycles as cars， and 400 km of cycle lanes﹣not shared with cars or pedestrians （行人）﹣for a city of about 600，000 people．

    This has many advantages， such as cleaner air and physical fitness． If only more thought had gone into what happens when riders get off． Cycle parking is a big problem here．

    Bikes are often parked on the pavement， taking up pedestrian space and blocking（堵住） entrances to shops and restaurants．

    Outside Copenhagen's central train station， where people often leave their bikes for the weekend， plenty of cyclists are fed up． "There just isn't enough space，" says Kirsten Hoeholt， a famous artiest．

    While 95% of cyclists in the city are happy with conditions for cyclists overall， only 29% are satisfied with cycle﹣parking facilities﹣down from 40% in 1996．

    One of Copenhagen's is that it has been growing rapidly． About 12，000 people are moving to the city each year， while only 7，000 new cycle parking spaces have been created over the last eight years．

    One Dutch idea on its way to Copenhagen is taking away the bikes that are parked in the wrong areas． Leave your bike in the wrong place and you could find that it has been moved to nearby bicycle facilities．

    A few years ago "bike﹣butlers" were introduced in some areas． The butlers pick up bicycles that have been knocked over， pump air into flat tyres and give the bike﹣chains a bit of oil， to thank people for parking properly．

（1）The last "paradise" in the fourth line means　　．

A．factory

B．company

C．heaven

（2）There are about　　people in Copenhagen．

A．120，000

B．600，000

（3）Which of the following is NOT true？　　

A． There are in fact more bicycles in Copenhagen than people．

B． Only 29% are satisfied with cycle﹣parking facilities．

C． About 7，000 people are moving to the city each year．

（4）The last paragraph tells us to　　．

A． punish the bicyclists

B． encourage the bicyclists

C． take away the bikes

（5）What does the passage mainly tell us？　　

A． The parking of the bikes in Copenhagen．

B． The repairing of the bikes in Copenhagen．

C． The creating of the bikes in Copenhagen．

In our daily life， much plastic package is used just once and then thrown away． According to a new study from the University of California， 9% of this is recycled， 12% is burnt and 79% goes to landfill． And because most plastic doesn't biodegrade， once it's in the ground， it stays there． （1）The study also shows that eight million tons of plastic waste are pouring into the sea every year．

    Scientists have calculated the total amount of plastic ever made： 8.3 billion tons． That's as heavy as one billion elephants． And almost all of it has been made in the last 65 years．

    （2）每个人都应该参与拯救地球． Protecting the environment is protecting ourselves． If the environment is taken good care of， we can have clean water and green mountains． （3）绿水青山或是金山银山．

    What can we do as students？ Just say no to single﹣use plastics like straws， cups and bags． Many people love to drink from a straw or use plastic to carry things， but they are really bad for the environment．

    （4）Bring your own chopsticks if you're planning to eat outside． It can be hard to remember．

    Just put a pair of chopsticks in your bag before you leave home．

    You know you're going to need some water to get you through your day． So carry a bottle（or a cup） with you． （5）That will help you avoid plastic bottles．

We live in Bedford， a town near London． My father is a hard﹣working pilot， so he doesn't have much time to look after us．

    When I was a kid， my mum liked to make breakfast food for dinner every now and then． And I remember one night in particular， when she had made breakfast food after a long， hard day at hospital．

    On that evening so long ago， my mum placed a plate of eggs， sausage and terribly burnt biscuits in front of my dad． I remember waiting to see if anyone notices． Yet all my dad did was reach for a biscuit， smile at my mum and ask my brother and me how we had been doing at school． I don't remember what I told him that night， but I do remember watching him put butter and jelly on that biscuit and eat every bite!

    When I got up from the table that evening， I remember hearing my mum apologize to my dad for burning the biscuits． And I will never forget what he said，" Honey， I love burnt biscuits．"

    Later that night， I went to kiss my dad good night and I asked him if he really liked his biscuits burnt． He wrapped me in his arms and said，" Your mum is really tired after a hard day's work． Besides， a little burnt biscuit could never hurt anyone． We have been married for 17 years． She always cooks for me． Don't put the key to your happiness in someone else's pocked but into your own．"
