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．
