Mr. King works in a shop and drives a car for the manager. He drives carefully and can keep calm in time of danger. And he escaped from several accidents. The manager pays him more and the traffic policemen often speak highly of him.

Mr. Baker, one of his friends, works in a factory outside the city. It is far from his house and he has to go to work by bus. As the traffic is crowded in the morning, sometimes he is late for work. His manager warns the young man will be sent away unless he gets to his office on time. He hopes to buy a car, but he hasn’t enough money. He decides to buy an old one. He went to the flea market and at last he chose a beautiful but cheap car. He said he wanted to have a trial(實(shí)驗(yàn)) drive, the seller agreed. He called Mr. King and asked him to help him.

Mr. King examined the car at first and then drove it away. It was five in the morning and there were few cars in the street. At first he drove slowly and it worked well. Then he drove fast. And when he reached a crossing, the light turned red. He tried to stop it, but he failed and nearly hit an old woman who was crossing the street. A policeman told him to stop, but the car went on until it hit a big tree by the road.

“Didn’t you hear me?” the policeman asked angrily.

“Yes, I did, sir,” said Mr. King, “since it doesn’t listen to me, can it obey you?”

Cycling isn’t always easy. Busy streets and few bike lanes and parking areas can make it a battle. But not even these difficulties can stop Europeans’ love for cycling. According to Reuters, more bicycles have been sold than cars in 26 of the European Union’s 28 states this year.

In some European countries, people really love bicycles. “People ride to work and take their bikes to the grocery store”, Bill Strickland, editor of Bicycling magazine, told the reporter from Reuters.

So what has led to cycling’s growing popularity in Europe? Cycling is “a safe, clean, healthy, inexpensive way to get around town,” the Daily Star concluded. “It not only reduces traffic problems and pollution, but also contributes to public health.”

Bike-friendly rules have also been made. Dozens of cities have joined a European Union initiative（倡議）to make bicycles a form of city transport, like cars. Quite a few cities such as Stockholm, London, Florence and Munich now offer special bike lanes. Copenhagen takes it a step further by keeping bicycles and cars separated as much as possible. On these routes, traffic lights are designed to the rhythms of bicycles, not cars. For people living far from city centers, getting to work by bicycle alone may take too much time. That’s why many European countries now allow cyclists to bring their bicycles onto subway trains. Europeans are also creative in solving parking problems. Amsterdam has come up with a high-tech solution: you lock your bike to a rack（機(jī)架）, which then goes underground. When you want your bike back, it is brought back to the surface.

1.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

A. European people love bicycles.

B. More bicycles are sold in Europe.

C. Bicycles need their own ways.

D. New rules are made for cyclists.

2. The underlined word “route” in Paragraph 8 most probably means _____ in Chinese.

A. 停車場 B. 方法 C. 政策 D. 線路

3. According to the passage, the following cities offer special bike lanes EXCEPT______.

A. Copenhagen B. Amsterdam

C. London D. Stockholm

4.Why do people enjoy cycling in Europe?

A. Bicycles can be brought onto subway trains.

B. People can park their bicycles wherever you like.

C. Bicycles can be locked to a rack underground.

D. Cycling is a good way to get around town.

5.The writing style of the passage is a(n) _____.

A. tour guide B. news report

C. interview D. story

Make Stress Work for You

Stress can come from all directions. We live in a world filled with stress. Rather than only looking for ways to change the stress-filled situations, look for stress that can work for you. The following are suggestions to make stress work in your favor.

1. . Colors of the walls, floor coverings, and furniture can reduce stress. Cooling greens and blues are positive colors that can reduce stress and create a sense of well-being.

2. . Take time to recognize signs of stress like anger, work and sleep habits. As you understand these signs, you are beginning to know how to make stress work.

3. . We can accept what we cannot change by changing what we can. Make choices that are realistic, not beyond your ability.

4. . Find out what your strengths are and focus on taking the time to do a project built on them. If you take on too many projects, you will most probably lose control and meet with new stress.

5. . Laughing at oneself can bring less stress from the inside. And laughing creates less wrinkles（皺紋）than worrying.

A. Stop and look at yourself

B. Don’t say yes to everything
