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 Make sure that they are in good working order and adjusted properly.
Helmet A necessity, make sure your helmet meets current safety standards and fit properly.
Lights Always have a front headlight---visible at least 500 feet in front of the bike. A taillight is a good idea.

We live in a town with three beaches.There are two parks less than 10 minutes'walk from

home where neighborhood children gather to play.However,what my children want to do after school is pick up a screen-any screen- and stare at it for hours.They are not alone.Today'schildren spend an average of four and a half hours a day looking at screens,split between watching television and using the Internet.

In the past few years, an increasing number of people and organisations have begun coming up with plans to counter this trend.A couple of years ago film-maker David Bond realised that his children,then aged five and three,were attached to screens to the point where he was able to say"chocolate" into his three-year-old son's ear without getting a response. He realised that something needed to change, and, being a London media type, appointed himself"marketing director fro Nature".He documented his journey as he set about treating nature as a brand to

be marketed to young people.The result was Project Wild T hing,a film which charts the birth

of the World Network,a group of organisations with the common goal of getting children out into nature.

"Just five more minutes outdoors can make a difference,"David Bond says."There is a lot of really interesting evidence which seems to be suggesting that if children are inspired up to the age of seven,then being outdoors will be a habit for life."His own children have got into the habit of playing outside now: "We just send them out into the garden and tell them not to come back in for a while."

Summer is upon us. There is an amazing world out there, and it needs our children as much as they need it.Let us get them out and let them play.

Leslie Nielsen's childhood was a difficult one,but he had one particular shining star in his life - his uncle,who was a well-known actor.The admiration and respect his uncle earned inspired Nielsen to make a career (职业) in acting .Even though he often felt he would be discovered to be a no-talent , he moved forward ,gaining a scholarship to the Neighborhood Playhouse and making his first television appearance a few years later in 1948. However, becoming a full- time, successful actor would still be an uphill battle for another eight years until he landed a number of film roles that finally got him noticed.

But even then, what he had wasn't quite what he wanted. Nielsen always felt he should be doing comedy but his good looks and distinguished voice kept him busy in dramatic roles.It wasn't until 1980-32 years into his career-that he landed the role it would seem he was made

for in Airplane!That movie led him into the second half of his career whereh is comedic presence

alone could make a movie a financial success even when movie reviewers would not rate it highly.

Did Nielsen then feel content in his career?Yes and no.He was thrilled to be doing the comedy

that he always felt he should do,but even during his last few years,he always had a sense of curiosity,wondering what new role or challenge might be just around the corner.He never stopped working, never retired.

During an interview for one of my books,my interviewer said something I still think aboutoften.Annoyed by the level of distraction(干扰)in his open office, he said,"That's why I have a membership at the coworking space across the street-so I can focus. "His comment struckme as strange. After all, coworking spaces also typically use an openofficelayout (布局). But I recently came across a study that shows why his approach works.

The researchers examined various levels of noise on participants as they completed tests of creative thinking .They were randomly divided into four groups and exposed to various noise levels in the background, from total silence to 50 decibels(分贝),70 decibels, and 85 decibels. The differences between most of the groups were statistically insignificant; however,the participants in the 70 decibels group-those exposed to a level of noise similar to background chatter in a coffee shop-significantly outperformed the other groups. Since the effects were small, this may suggest that our creative thinking does not differ that much in response to total silence and 85 decibels of background noise.

But since the results at 70 decibels were significant,the study also suggests that the right level of background noise-not too loud and not total silence-may actually improve one's creative thinking ability.The right level of background noise may interrupt our normal patterns of thinking just enough to allow our imaginations to wander, without making it impossible to focus.This kind of"distracted focus"appears to be the best state for working on creative tasks.

So why do so many of us hate our open offices?The problem may be that, in our offices, we can't stop ourselvesfrom getting drawn into others' conversations while we're trying to focus. Indeed, the researchers found that face-to-face interactions and conversations affect the creative process,and yet a coworking space or a coffee shop provides a certain level of noise while also providing freedom from interruptions.

12.Why does the interviewer prefer a coworking space?

A．	It helps him concentrate.
B．	It blocks out background noise.
C．	It has a pleasant atmosphere.
D．	It encourages face-to-face interactions.

13.Which level of background noise may promote creative thinking ability?

A．	Total silence.
B．	50 decibels.
C．	70 decibels.
D．	85 decibels.

14.What makes an open office unwelcome to many people?

A．	Personal privacy unprotected.
B．	Limited working space.
C．	Restrictions on group discussion.
D．	Constant interruptions.

15.What can we infer about the author from the text?

A．	He's a news reporter.	B．	He's an office manager.

You've heard that plastic is polluting the oceans-between4.8 and 12.7 million tonnes enter ocean ecosystems every year. But does one plastic straw or cup really make a difference? Artist Benjamin Von Wong wants you to know that it does. He builds massive sculptures out of plastic garbage, foreing viewers to re-examine their relationship to single-use plastic products.

At the beginning of the year, the artist built a piece called"Strawpocalypse,"a pair of 10-foot-tall plastic waves, frozen mid-crash. Made of 168,000 plastic straws collected from several volunteer beach cleanups, the sculpture made its first appearance at the Estella Place shopping center in Ho Chi Minh City,Vietnam.

Just 9% of global plastic waste is recycled. Plastic straws are by no means the biggest source (来源)of plastic pollution, but they've recently come under fire because most people don't need them to drink with and, because of their small size and weight,they cannot be recycled.Every straw that's part of Von Wong's artwork likely came from a drink that someone used for only a few minutes. Once the drink is gone,the straw will take centuries to disappear.

In a piece from 2018,Von Wong wanted to illustrate (说明) a specific statistic:Every 60 seconds, a truckload's worth of plastic enters the ocean. For this work, titled "Truckload of Plastic, " Von Wong and a group of volunteers collected more than 10,000 pieces of plastic ,which were then tied together to look like they'd been dumped(倾倒)from a truck all at once.

Von Wong hopes that his work will also help pressure big companies to reduce their plastic footprint.

8.What are Von Wong's artworks in tended for?

A．	Beautifying the city he lives in.
B．	Introducing eco-friendly products.
C．	Drawing public attention to plastic waste.
D．	Reducing garbage on the beach.

9.Why does the author discuss plastic straws in paragraph 3?

A．	To show the difficulty of their recycling.
B．	To explain why they are useful.
C．	To voice his views on modern art.
D．	To find a substitute for them.

10.What effect would "Truckload of Plastic"have on viewers?

A．	Calming.
B．	Disturbing
C．	Refreshing
D．	Challenging.

11.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A．	Artists'Opinions on Plastic Safety
B．	Media Interest in Contemporary Art
C．	Responsibility Demanded of Big Companies
D．	Ocean Plastics Transformed into Sculptures

When almost everyone has a mobile phone,why are more than half of Australian homes still paying for a landline (座机)?

These days you'd be hard pressed to find anyone in Australia over the age of 15 who doesn't own a mobile phone. In fact plenty of younger kids have one in their pocket. Practically everyone can make and receive calls anywhere,anytime.

Still,55 percent of Australians have a landline phone at home and only just over a quarter（29%） rely only on their smartphones ,according to a survey（调查）.Of those Australians who still have a landline,a third concedethat it's not really necessary and they're keeping it as a security blanket - 19 percent say they never use it while afurther 13 percent keep it in case of emergencies. I think my home falls into that category.

More than half of Australian homes are still choosing to stick with their home phone .Age is naturally a factor （因素）-only 58 percent of Generation Ys still use landlines now and then, compared to 84 percent of Baby Boomers who've perhaps had the same home number for 50years.Age isn't the only factor;I'd say it's also to do with the makeup of your household.

Generation Xers with young families,like my wife and I,can still find it convenient to have a home phone rather than providing a mobile phone for every family member. That said, to be honest the only people who ever ring our home phone are our Baby Boomers parents,to the point where we play a game and guess who is calling before we pick up the phone （using Caller ID would take the fun out of it）.

How attached are you to your landline? How long until they go the way of gas street lamps and morning milk deliveries?

4.What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about mobile phones?

A．	Their target users.
B．	Their wide popularity.
C．	Their major functions.
D．	Their complex design.

5.What does the underlined word "concede"in paragraph 3 mean?

A．	Admit.
B．	Argue.
C．	Remember.
D．	Remark.

6.What can we say about Baby Boomers?

A．	They like smartphone games.
B．	They enjoy guessing callers'identity.
C．	They keep using landline phones.
D．	They are attached to their family.

7.What can be inferred about the landline from the last paragraph?

A．	It remains a family necessity.
B．	It will fall out of use someday.
C．	It may increase daily expenses.
D．	It is as important as the gas light.
