Bike for a Better City feels that if there were special lanes, more people would use bicycles.But no bike lanes have been painted yet. Not everyone thinks it is a good idea. Taxi drivers dont like the idea-they say it will _ traffic. Some store owners on the main streets dont like this idea-they say that if there is less traffic, they will have less business.

Reading Comprehension （阅读理解）Passage 1Scientists have tried to come up with biological explanations for the difference between boys and girls.Statistics (统计数据) show that in mathematics, at least, girls are equal to boys. A recent report suggests that girls only stop studying mathematics because of social attitudes. One of the reports authors says, “While it is socially unacceptable for people not to be able to read and write, it is still acceptable for women to say that they are hope-less at math.
