Bicycle sharing systems are also known as yellow bicycle programs, white bicycle programs, public bikes, or free bikes. They are increasingly popular in Europe now. Paris has the world’s largest urban (城市的) cycle rental system.
This is a bike rental station in Paris. The worker is showing how to use a new self-service bike. They say that Paris will become “a green capital of bikes” and they plan to park 20,000 bicycles at 1,600 stations. Paris created this plan to improve the city traffic environment and reduce the waste gas displacement (废弃排气量).
At a rental station, you only have to put your credit card into the machine to rent a bike. It provides French, German, English and Chinese services. If you ride the bike for only 30 minutes to relax, you needn’t pay for it. A two-hour bike rent only costs you 4 euros.
These stations work for 24 hours every day, so a bike is rented for 10 to 14 times a day. In this way there are 200,000 people using bikes a day,
In the past few years, Paris has encouraged its people to ride bikes, but something unhappy has happened now and then. Some people break the traffic rules during rush hours. Some park their bikes everywhere. So how to park bikes is a problem that Paris will face. But this project is still a helpful way to improve its traffic environment. Don’t you think so?Bicycle rental system can help Paris become a ________.
| A．fashion capital | B．sleepy city |
| C．polite city | D．green capital of bikes |

_______ people use bikes a day
| A．1,600 | B．20,000 | C．24,000 | D．200,000 |

| A．thinks bicycle rental systems are great |
| B．doesn’t agree the idea of bicycle rental system |
| C．thinks Paris is a bicycle capital |
| D．thinks bikes are better than cars |
When you sit in the classroom, do you suddenly feel that summer flew by so quickly? I’m still thinking about taking walks in the park and meeting my friends at night. But I know that the school season is beginning. And homework, tests and routine (常规生活) all come with it.
When I stay in my room and write my homework, I often look out of the window and look back at this summer.
In the past two months of summer break, I spent many evenings in my backyard. I listened to my parents telling stories about their childhood. My brother caught fireflies (萤火虫). Once in a while, we made a barbecue and ate chicken and corn.
Now I’m back to school. It’s difficult to find time to do everything that I want to do, like dancing, reading, and sleeping. How I hope to have another break in my studies! I could read a fun book instead of the boring ones that we have to read for English class.

In ancient Greece, Socrates was a great philosopher (哲学家), who was widely known for his wisdom (智慧).
One day the great philosopher met a man, who ran up to him excitedly and said, “Socrates, do you know what I just heard about one of your students?”
“Wait a moment,” Socrates replied. “Before you tell me, I’d like you to pass a little test. It’s called the Test of Three.”
“Test of Three?”
“That’s correct,” Socrates continued. “The first test is Truth. Are you sure that what you are about to tell me is true?”

The man shrugged (耸肩), a little embarrassed.
“The third test – the filter (过滤) of Usefulness,” Socrates continued. “Is what you want to tell me about my student going to be useful to me?”
