Whenever someone finished a journey, they would    the bike there for someone else to use. The problem was that it didn't work because     took all the bicycles within weeks!
    more than thirty years later, the “white bike” is back in town---this time with a computer chip (芯片) to  its      very move! To take a bicycle, you have to put a special card inside. The new “white bike” is not white any more but is an unusual       with bright colors. The bikes are parked at special parking places and people who want to use them have to take them to another place that has enough room.
There is already less traffic in central Amsterdam, because both locals and tourists are      the white bikes every day. Thanks to the good ideas of lots of people, like the cycling fans in the 1960s, many people around the world have been enjoying city centre streets without cars for many years.

Parents often believe that they have a good relationship with their teenagers. But last summer, Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their older son. Suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents. “The door to his room is always shut.” Joanna said.
Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter. “She used to cuddle up(依偎) with me on the sofa and talk,” said Mark. “Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something. Sometimes she wants to be treated like a young lady. The problem is finding out which time is which.”
Before age 11, children like to tell their parents what’s on their minds. “In fact, parents are first on the list,” said Michael Riera, a writer.
“This completely changes during the teen years,” Riera explained. “They talk to their friends first, then maybe their teachers, and their parents last.”
Parents who know what’s going on in their teenagers’ lives are the best to help them. To break down the wall of silence, parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say, and try to find ways to talk and write to them. And they must give their children a mental(腦力的) break, for children also need freedom, though young. Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend, not a manager, with their children is a better way to know them.
小題1:The underlined sentence in the first paragraph means that __________.
A．the son is always busy with his studies
B．the son doesn’t want to see anymore
C．the son keeps himself away from his parents
D．the son wants to live with his friends
小題2:What troubles Tina and Mark the most is that __________.
A．their daughter isn’t as happy as before
B．they can’t understand what their daughter thinks
C．they don’t know what to say to their daughter
D．their daughter talks far more to her friends than to them
小題3:“The wall of silence” in the first paragraph means that __________.
A．teenagers talk a lot with their friends
B．teenagers do not talk with their teachers
C．teenagers do not talk much with their parents
D．teenagers talk little about their studies
小題4:The better way for parents to know their children is to be a ________.
A．teacherB．friendC．managerD．student
小題5:What do we learn from the passage?
A．Parents are all happy with their growing children.
B．Parents are teenagers’ best friends.
C．Parents should keep silence before teenagers.
D．Parents should try to understand teenagers.

Red is used in many American expressions. It can be used to show happiness, as in the expression “a red-letter day”. This is a day when something special happens. The expression is probably based on church customs. For almost 600 years, church calendars have been marked with red to show special holy(神圣的)days. Today’s calendars are still marked that way with the dates of holidays and special days printed in red.
The expression “a red-letter day”is often heard in daily life. “A red-letter day” is a day that people are especially happy. It may be a day that you have waited for a long time, a wedding day, for example. Or it may be a day with a happy surprise. You might tell a friend that yesterday was a red-letter day, because you won some money in the lottery.
“Rolling out the red carpet” is another commonly heard expression. It describes an especially warm welcome of any kind. A city may “roll out the carpet ”for its baseball team, when the team arrives home after winning a championship. A group of supporters go to the air port to the greet the team. The red-carpet welcome includes a lot of cheering by thousands of fans, a parade, music and speech of praise by local statesmen.
Red is also used in some expressions that are not happy. “Red-handed ” is an example. To be caught “red-handed” is to be found in an act of wrong doing. The evidence is clear. You are guilty. Today we use the expression “ to be caught red-handed ”in situation(情況)that are not serious. For example, a mother might say she caught her son red-handed, taking cookies out of the cookie jar.

We all dream about things that we would like to do we hope to achieve in the future. But are everybody’s dreams the same? Here are some of the findings of a survey about hopes and dreams, in which thousands of students across China took part in it.
What are the hopes of teenagers?
We received several different answers to the question: what would you like to do after finishing your education? It seems some students would like to start work as soon as possible, so that they can help provide better lives for their parents. Other students hope to continue studying after finishing school and to go to university. Although money is important, many teenagers said they want to do jobs they enjoy. According to the survey, the most popular choice of job is computer programming.
What are the dreams of teenagers?
Teenagers have all kinds of dreams. Some are more realistic than others. For example, many students said they would like to be volunteers if Beijing could hold the World Cup, maybe working as translators or tour guides. And quite a few said they dream of going to the moon one day.
According to the survey, less realistic dreams are also common, but many students reported that they were willing to work hard to achieve their dreams. Quite a few dream of becoming famous, perhaps famous sports people or singers. Some said they’d like to go on exciting trips; one students said she’d love to sail across the Pacific Ocean. And then there are dreams that are impossible; three students said they’d like to be able to fly!
Conclusion It was clear from the survey that teenagers have similar hopes. It seems that most students hope to have a good education and find a good job. On the other hand, students dream of very different things: good things, and even crazy things. It is very important to dream, so hold on your dreams; one day they may just come true.
