　　There are several things about motorcycling that the average citizen dislikes. A cyclist's appearance has something to do with this dislike. Motorcyclists frequently look dirty; in fact, they are dirty. On the road there is little to protect them from mud, bird droppings, etc. For practical reasons they often dress in old clothing which looks much less respectable than the clothing of people who ride in cars. For the same reason motorcyclists usually wear dark colors. Perhaps this helps to explain why they are sometimes believed to have very bad natures. In old plays of long ago, bad characters usually wore black. In cowboy movies the “bad guys( = fellows)”usually wear black hats while the “good guys” wear lighter colors.

　　Something else about their appearance makes an unpleasant impression. In their practical protective clothing they look very much like the men on military (軍事的) motorcycles in the movies of World War Ⅱ - cruel enemies who roared(咆哮) into peaceful villages filling peoples' hearts with fear.

　　Probably the machine itself also produces anger and fear. Motorcycles are noisy, thought some big trucks are even noisier. But trucks are big and carry heavy loads: they are accepted because they perform a needed service, making America move. Motorcycles, on the other hand, make an unpleasant noise just to give their riders pleasure. That is what is commonly thought. In the woods motorcycles frighten animals. Roaring along quiet streets, they wake sleeping families and made babies cry .

1．The main idea of this passage is ________ .

[　　]

A．why the average people dislike motorcycling

B．why motorcyclists dress in dark clothes

C．why the average people sometimes think motorcyclists have bad natures

D．why big trucks, though they are even noisier than motorcycles, are accepted

2．Motorcyclists usually wear dark colors because ________ .

[　　]

A．they want to copy“bad guys” in cowboy movies

B．they have bad natures

C．they are not easy to look dirty

D．they are less respectable than those who drive cars

3．Which of the following does NOT explain why a motorcyclist's appearance gives people unpleasant impression?

[　　]

A．Bad characters in old plays wore black

B．At night motorcyclists wake sleeping families

C．The “bad guys” in cowboys wear black hats

D．The men on military motorcycles in the movies of

World War Ⅱ wear similar protective clothing as motorcyclists do

4．Though they are even noisier than motorcycles, big trucks are usually accepted because ________ .

A．they carry heavy loads and give their drivers pleasure as well

B．they don't run along quiet streets

C．they are bigger, so it is natural for them to make louder noises

D．they play an important part in transport

　　Raising pets is not a new thing in China, but recently it has taken on a new meaning.

　　Pet food is sold in almost all supermarkets and many specialty stores for getting needs have been established.

At the China International Pet Show which took place recently in Beijing, more than 100 factories from across the country exhibited their products. Thousands of dealers and pet owners went to the show.

That's not a complete picture.” Wang added that pets are friends in the real sense of the word, not just playthings.“Anyone with a loving nature can raise pets.” Still, the high cost of keeping a pet is something many people have to think about. “I like dogs and cats. But I have neither time. nor money to raise them. ”said Li Jun. in her 40' s a civil servant from Beijing.

　　The cost of raising a dog is high in Beijing, where registration (登記)is a must for all dogs and costs 5 , 000 yuan for each animal. In addition, pet owners must pay for regular injection of Vaccines(疫苗). Most of all, dog food is quite expensive.

　　Unlike his mother, Li Jun' s 10 -year -old son, Li Qiyu, dreams of the day he will have his own pet.“I hope I can have a dog in my house. ” he said.

　　“It is not a virus that is spreading from human to human, so we are very optimistic,” Yin told Reuters in an interview．

　　The deadly H5N1 made its first known jump to humans in Hong Kong in 1997, killing six people．The virus appeared again in late 2003 and is known to have infected 130 people in several parts of Asia, killing 68 of them．

　　International disease control experts are worried about a worldwide outbreak of bird flu, raising concerns such as whether it is safe to eat poultry．

　　But Oregon State University researchers say there is no proof that the virus can jump to humans by eating cooked poultry products．

　　“Consumers needn't be overly concerned about bird flu, ”said Jim Hermes, OSU Extension Service poultry specialist．But he urged consumers to follow standard food safety practices in preparing poultry－including washing hands while preparing food, and proper cooking of poultry meat and eggs．
