three decades ago, china was known as the “bicycle kingdom”. but later on bikes were replaced by their fuel-powered competitors.but recent months have seen a popularity of bikes across china, with an increasing number of people choosing cycling instead of driving to schools, to workplaces or to do sightseeing. the introduction of sharing bikes, pioneered by start-ups (新创办的公司)like ofo and mobike, has brought the trend to a new level.people can unlock the shared bikes by simply using their smartphones. the bikes are equipped with gps and can be left anywhere in public for the next user. theyre popular among many chinese people as they provide an effective solution to the “last mile” problem, which refers to the final part of a persons journey.“in places where the subway doesnt arrive, where its difficult to change from one kind of transport to another, its so easy to get where you want to go with mobike,” hu hong, 29, told afp. she pedals to her work.however, the plan has also led to various problems. last month, two nurses in beijing were placed under administrative punishment for five days for putting locks on two shared bikes. and in december, a man who stole a shared bike was sentenced to 3 month in prison, and fined 1,000 yuan by the shanghai minhang peoples court.“bike-sharing is a greener method of transportation,” said liu xiaoming, vice-minister of transport. “but its a connection of online and offline business. operators are usually strong in online services, but lack (缺少) offline business experience, which causes problems.” to deal with these problems, the company came up with the idea of encouraging people to return the bikes to stations by rewarding free time for their next rides.8. who has made the use of bikes popular again?a. the pioneered start-ups. b. the students and workers. c. the local government. d. the businessman.9. which of the following doesnt belong to the “last mile” problem? a. missing the business plane for traffic jam.b. getting to somewhere the subway doesnt reach.c. having trouble in changing from a bus to a taxi.d. having difficulty with the final part of a persons travel.10. what reason causes many problems in bike-sharing?a. there are no laws on this business at the moment.b. operators have no enough offline business experience.c. the bike-sharing business is too difficult to run.d. some people do damage to the bikes on purpose.11. what can we learn from the passage?a. cycling is free of charge. b. riding bikes comes into fashion again.c. there are some laws against bike-sharing.d. a new smartphone disappears in our life. dsooner or later, most students are to take some form of english examinations. often the more successful students are better prepared. however, sometimes students who do well have better test taking skills. these abilities really have nothing to do with understanding english better. they are skills that make taking the test easier, and therefore provide better results.here are some very important and often forgotten instructions to taking a test successfully.do not insist on completing each question before going to the next. this is extremely important. remember one question may only be worth one point! you will become nervous when you fail to find out its answer, making you lose your concentration and leading to worse results. however, answering the questions you are sure you know results in your being more relaxed and feeling more confident.go through the test a second time working out the answers to more difficult questions. sometimes questions asked are answered in later questions asking for different things.usually(but not always) a strong first impression means we know the answer and we dont really have to think about it too much. going back to think about it usually makes you unsure and often causes a mistake. this is very common, so be very careful!if you dont know the answer, write something. if you are answering a 4 possibility multiple choice question you will still have a 25% chance of being correct!taking a test is as much for you as is for your teacher, so never cheat. if you cheat, you dont help yourself in the long run.12. in
