You don' t have to be a scientist to solve big environmental problems． One Dutch designer is finding creative ways to make a change﹣and he's inviting bikers to join him．

    Daan Roosgaarde， 38， is a designer from Holland． He uses creative ideas to improve city life． For his Smog （雾霾） Free Project， he designed a special tower that cleans air in Chinese parks． In Holland， he designed a shining bicycle path．

    Now Daan and his team are working with engineers at Chinese bike﹣sharing company Ofo to create a new product for public use． It's an air﹣cleaning machine connected to a bicycle and is part of the Smog Free Project． In smoggy weather， the machine would breathe in the air in front of the bike and blow out a stream of clean air toward the biker's face．

    It's no secret that air pollution is a big problem for China． In winter， it's common for thick clouds of haze （霾）， caused largely by factory production， burning of coal and car emissions （排放物）， to cover areas of China．

    In 2016， only one﹣fourth of Chinese cities met the country's air quality standards， according to a survey of 338 cities nationwide from the Ministry of Environmental Protection．

Don't Judge a Book by Its Cover

    Ever since I was a little girl， I've loved reading crime and detective （侦探） novels， so I guess it was pretty normal that I started writing them when I was older． However， my family is very big on having a traditional career （职业） and so when I said that I wanted to go to college and study writing， my parents told me that I couldn't． They told me that I had to study for a degree so that I would achieve a career， and not something as risky as writing． I suppose I could have studied journalism （新闻） ，but I didn't want to lose interest in writing because it would be something I would do every day for work， not for pleasure． I thought that teaching looked like a pretty good compromise （妥协 ） ， especially because of the long holidays． It was a good choice： by the time I was twenty﹣five，I'd already finished two novels and had an agent．

    To be honest， I never meant to keep my being a crime writer a secret or anything， and my friends have always known． One of the reasons most people don't know is because my agent told me that my name Hazel sounded too much like a romance （浪漫） novelist for older women． She suggested Brooke Lane and I thought， "Well， if you think it'll make me successful， okay，" I'd totally forgotten about it until I walked into school one day and saw one of my workmates reading my novel． I asked her some questions about it， and it was so clear that she had no idea that I'd written it ﹣ she even offered to lend it to me after she'd finished! Of course， sometimes I wonder what my students would think if they knew that their teacher was going home on the weekend to write about murders and dead bodies， but I think my parents probably did me a favor： my teaching job keeps me in touch with the real world．

（1）Hazel is probably　　．

A． an agent

B． a journalist

C． a teacher and artist

D． a teacher and writer

（2）The underlined words "is very big on " in the passage most probably mean　　．

A． to give no advice

B． to like something very much

C． to have more experiences

D． to misunderstand something

（3）It's clear that Hazel　　．

A． agreed to study journalism for a degree

B． accepted Brooke Lane as her pen name

C． would like to write something for teaching

D． told her workmates about her writing novels

（4）Hazel finally realized that her parents' advice on her career was　　．

A． helpful

B． exciting

C． disappointing

D． risky

（5）We can infer from the passage that　　．

A． Hazel likes showing off in public

B． Hazel's students all want to write novels

C． Hazel's agent has played a role in her success

D． older women prefer the name Brooke to Hazel

（1）Our hometown has　　 many soft and sweet memories in our heart．

（2）They are seen as　　 symbols of happiness and good wishes．

（3）Mary decided to　　 for a job at an after﹣school reading program last year．

（4）We usually plan to do something　　， or go somewhere together．

（5）Although the storm broke many things apart， it　　 families and neighbors closer together．

It was at an exhibition of the artist's works organized by the Red Cross． I was invited as a special （1）g　uest　to attend the exhibition． During this period， two cute girls of 16 or 17 years old came to me and asked me for my signature（签名）．

    "I haven't brought my pen． Is the （2）p　encil　okay？" Actually， I knew they wouldn't （3）r　efuse　． I just wanted to show a well﹣known writer's good manners to the （4）c　ommon　readers．

    "Certainly，" the young girls readily （5）a　greed　． I could see they were very excited． Of course， their excitement also made me feel more pleased and satisfied． One of the girls （6）h　anded　her fine notebook to me． I turned over the cover of the notebook， wrote a few words of encouragement （7）n　aturally　， and signed my name． The girl read my signature， frowned （皱眉）， looked at me carefully and asked， "Aren't you Robert Charboss？"

    "No，" I told her proudly， "I'm the author of Alice Adams， the （8）w　inner　of two Pulitzer Prizes．"

    The young girl turned to the （9）o　ther　shrugged （耸肩） and said， "Mary， lend your rubber to me．" At that moment， all my （10）p　ride　turned into a bubble （泡泡） immediately． Since then， I always warn myself： no matter how outstanding you are， don't think highly of yourself．
