Considered one of Europe's two "bicycle capitals" along with Amsterdam, Copenhagen(哥本哈根) counts more bicycles than people and cycling is so popular that its numerous bike paths can become crowded. Two-wheeler traffic jams are especially regular on the main Noerrebrogade road used by around 36,000 cyclists a day. "You have to elbow your way in to go forward and some cyclists aren't always thoughtful," complains 22-year-old university student Lea Bresell. The creation of bike highways "comes right on time", says Danish Cyclist Federation Spokesman Frits Bredal. "Copenhagen's roads are overloaded with people who want to ride their bicycles in all kinds of weather," he says. "If in the 1960s Danes viewed the car as the symbol of freedom, the bicycles have supposed that role today," Bredal says. "It's a mode of transportation used by all social classes, even politicians ride bikes," he says. It is on crowded Noerrebrogade-the busiest bicycle street in Europe, according to the cyclist association-that city planners have decided to build the first of Copenhagen's environmentally friendly roads. The jammed bike paths will be widened up to four metres on either side of the road, which itself will be reserved for bikes only. The idea is to make Noerrebrogade "Europe's great cycling street", says Andreas Roehl, Copenhagen government's bicycle program manager who is also known as "Mr. Bike". But Roehl is not content with making life easier for Copenhagen's inner-city cyclists: He wants to get suburbanites(郊区居民) out of their cars and onto two wheels as well. His goal is to hike the percentage of suburban commuters cycling to and from the city from the 37 percent it is today to 50 percent by 2015. |
1. Why does Copenhagen plan to build the first bike highway? |
A. Because bike highways are environmentally friendly. B. Because it's a part of the city's development program. C. Because the inner-city commuters urge that it should be built. D. Because too many bicycles cause the paths to be crowded. |
2. Why do people in Copenhagen want to ride their bicycles in all kinds of weather? |
A. Because the price of petrol has been going up all the time. B. Because the bicycle is viewed as the symbol of freedom nowadays. C. Because it's hard for people to find parking space in crowded streets. D. Because politicians ride bikes and commuters enjoy following them. |
3. The underline word "mode" in the second paragraph probably means? |
A. fashion B. improvement C. reform D. law |
4. Which of the following is NOT included in Andreas Roehl's plan? |
A. The former jammed bike paths will be widened. B. Noerrebrogade is to be made "Europe's great cycling street". C. All commuters will be pushed to leave their cars at home. D. More suburbanites will be got out of their cars and onto two wheels. |

What should I do with the diary I've kept for 50 years? I've been keeping a journal since I was 16 and I'm now 65. I have more than 80 notebooks in a big box. I don't want my children embarrassed by them when I die. But I can't bring myself, yet, to burn the case. My journals are still part of me. Might my grandchildren, with a bit more distance, be interested? Or is there some way I could turn them into something creative? I'm thinking about art instead of a book. *shirleyujest 5 March 2012, 11:22 p.m. Please don't burn them! What a wonderful source of memories for you-or if you feel you'd rather not keep them, possibly what a wonderful resource for others! Why not contact something like the Mass Observation Project at the University of Sussex? Then they will remain as a record of everyday life throughout your lifetime, and if your grandchildren are interested they'll know where to find them. *bloggsie45 6 March 2012, 8:30 a.m. Please don't burn them! If possible, transcribe(转录) them, or have them transcribed, into a computer medium before your words are lost because the paper has decayed. I recently had an opportunity to read a similar diary of the WW? record of an ordinary soldier. It was attractive in the way it differed from the official record. I suppose to some degree it all depends on what you have recorded, but many social historians and similar people would find such a complete personal record of a life led during the second half of the 20th century to be very valuable. Please don't stop writing now just because you are 65! |
1. What does the underlined word "them" refer to about the journal owner? |
A. His children and grandchildren. B. The best responses to his problem. C. His more than 80 diary books. D. The changes from 18 to 65. |
2. What does the journal owner probably hope to happen to his journals? |
A. His children will put them together with him after his death. B. His grandchildren will continue to write following his habit. C. They can be published by famous publishing houses. D. They can be filmed or changed into a TV play. |
3. What does "shirleyujest" think of the owner's journal? |
A. They provide good memories for others especially his grandchildren. B. They will educate the young to remember the hard life. C. They will help his grandchildren earn more money. D. They will make others learn more about the war. |
4. "Bloggsie45" mentions an ordinary soldier's war record in his words to ___. |
A. remind the owner to write more about the war B. tell him social historians may be interested in his notebooks C. encourage him to write journals like determined soldiers D. show the owner his notebooks will benefit some people |
任务型阅读。 Time management is important in our daily life. There never seems to be enough hours in the day to accomplish all you need to do. Here are some tips that might be of some help to you. ●Set up a plan. Go for a week at a time, and decide the most important ones. Include things you want to accomplish. Focus mostly on the things that are important to you. ●Control your stress. No matter what kind of pressure mounts on you, try to keep cool. Stressing out can lead to an early breakdown, which is definitely counter-productive when you have a list of things to do. It's easier to take a 10-minute break and cool off than to work all week with stress. ●Shut your door. When working under a schedule, perform your important tasks with your door shut to get them done. This will ensure a better quality time to get what needs to be done, done. ●Focus on one thing at a time. Forget trying to multi-task! You will lose concentration, and it will take you longer to accomplish what you set out to do. ●Just say "no." If you are constantly interrupted, and you really don't have the time to help out, just say "no." You're only one person, and you can't save the world by yourself! ●Stop wasting time on the phone. While talking on the phone, keep your conversations short, and to the point and you'll waste much less time. ●Be realistic. You can only do what you can do. Don't set out to accomplish the impossible. Do your best, but keep realistic expectations of yourself. ●Relax. The most important thing is remember to take time to relax, and regroup. You need a break every now and then to keep working efficiently. Even if it's a 10-minute walk, get away from your list and get refreshed. As families today get busier and busier, it's important to your own mental health to keep things on track. Don't delay; get your life in order now. | ||||
