back in 1992 when i traveled the country. back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle. millions of them, all black. cars were rare. yet since my arrival in beijing last year, ive found the opposite is true. there are millions of cars. however, people still use their bicycles to get around. for many, its the easiest and cheapest way to travel today. bicycles also come in different colorssilver, green, red, blue, yellow, whatever you want.its fun watching people biking. they rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic, and ride even on sidewalksbicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just cant provide.eager to be part of this aspect of chinese culture, i decided to buy a bicycle. great weather accompanied my great buy. i immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.my first ride home was orderlyto be safe, i stayed with a “pack” of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times. i didnt want to get hit. so i took the ride carefully.crossing the streets was the biggest problem. it was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the united states. the streets here were wide, so crossing took time，skill and a little bit of luck.i finally made it home. the feeling on the bicycle was amazing. the air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful. i was sitting on top of the world as i passed by places and people. biking made me feel alive.21. according to the author, why are bicycles still popular in china today?abecause they are traditional and safe.bbecause they are convenient and inexpensive.cbecause they are colorful and available.dbecause they are fast and environment friendly.22. the author decided to buy a bicycle because he intended _ato ride it for funbto use it for transportcto experience local culturedto improve his riding skills23. how did the author feel about his street crossing?ait was boring. bit was difficult. cit was lively. dit was wonderful.24. which of the following best describes the authors biking experience?athe author enjoyed showing off his biking skills.bthe author was annoyed by the air while riding.cthe author was praised by the other bikers.dthe author took great pleasure in biking.ba popular saying goes, “sticks and stone may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” however, thats not really true. words have the power to build us up or tear us down. it doesnt matter if the words come from someone else or ourselves-the positive and negative effects are just as lasting. we all talk to ourselves sometimes. were usually too embarrassed to admit it, though. but we really shouldnt be, because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit. this self-talk helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down. beware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. so in order to stay positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves. we should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the back. the next time you finish a project, do well in a test, or finally clean your room, join me in saying, “good job !” often, words come out of our mouths without our thinking about the effects they will have; but we should be aware that our words cause certain responses to others. for example, when returning an item to a store, we might use warm friendly language during the exchange. and the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner. or we can use harsh, critical language, which will most likely cause the clerk to be defensive. words possess power because of their lasting effects. many of us regret something we once said. and we remember unkind words said to us! before speaking, we should always ask ourselves：is it true? is it loving? is it needed? if what we want to say doesnt pass this test, then its better left unsaid. words possess power both positive and negative. those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. we can offer hope, build self-esteem (自尊) and motivate others to do their best. negative words destroy all those things. will we use our words to hurt or to heal？the choice is ours.25. the author argues in the first paragraph that .a. words have lasting effects on us b. words will never hurt us at allc. positive effects last longer than negative effects d. negative words may let us down26. why should we not feel embarrassed when talking to ourselves？a. almost everybody has the habit of talking to oneself.b. talking to ourselves is believed to be good for our health.c. talking to ourselves helps us to solve all the problems.d. it does harm to have self-talk when we are alone.27. which of the following statements would the author agree to?a. unkind words are more likely to be forgotten.b. it is better to think twice before talking to others.c. words always possess long positive effects.d. kind words are sometimes not needed at all.28. why should we talk in a friendly way when returning an item to a store?a. because kind words build up complex relationships.b. because the clerk in a store is hard to deal with.c. because friendly words cause positive responses.d. because critical language may hurt your feelings.cif you plan on visiting to fiji, you are probably looking for some fun things to do. below are four unusual

means how you feel about yourself and what you think your value is as a person.girls of all ages benefit from recognizing what makes each of us valuable and different, says kate tuffy, who helped create beautiful me. our goal is to offer the program to as many girls as possible across the united states. about 6,000 girls have benefited from it due to her efforts. beautiful me organizers train teachers to present the program material to small groups of girls. it includes hands-on art activities, role-playing games about understanding body language and discussions on how to build friendships. schools and groups present the program when they are ready. the beautiful me program helps girls understand their feelings, solve problems and get along better in and out of school. girls

your social life, your health or money situation. take time to focus on this because if you really want something then it becomes a lot easier to keep going. choose one thing or habit to focus on for
