It has been designed to encourage more people to cycle in and around central London.So how does it work？First you have to sign up to the scheme to be sent a key. The key will unlock one of the bikes，which are kept at docking stations in and around central London. You have to pay a fee for the key and then you pay as you go，for the length of time you use the bike.Transport for London，which runs the scheme，are hoping to have 6, 000 bikes and 400 docking stations in place by the end of the year. The new hire system is hoping to ease congestion (拥挤) in London and is expected to create up to 40, 000 extra cycle trips a day into the city centre. London Mayor Boris Johnston launched the scheme and said London had been “filled with thousands of gleaming machines that will transform the look and feel of our streets and become as commonplace on our roads as black taxies and red buses”.However，there have been a few problems since the scheme was launched last Friday. On the first day some people found they couldnt dock their bike properly and their usage of the bike had not registered(登记). Transport for London did admit they had been expecting a few “teething problems” and have said they wouldnt charge for the first day as a “gesture of goodwill”. Some other people have criticized the lack of docking stations and locks for the bikes as well as the price it costs to hire the bicycles.Despite the comments，the green-thinking London Mayor(市长) still seems very positive about things，saying，“My campaign for the capital to become the greatest big cycling city in the world has taken a big pedal-powered push forwards.”41. London Mayor boris Johnston launched the new bike scheme in order to _.A. reduce the air pollution of the city B. encourage the citizens to take exercisesC. deal with the citys traffic problemsD. increase employment opportunities42.If you want to hire a bike, in which order will you do？a. pay for the bike according to the time you use it b. pay for the key to a bikec. cycle in and around central London d. sign up as a member to get a keyA. b-d-c-a B. b-c-a-d C. d-c-b-a D. d-b-c-a43.All the following are the problems of the scheme EXCEPT A. the high cost to hire a bike B. not registering their usage of the bikes C. not charging for the first day of the scheme D. docking the bikes properly44. From the passage we can infer that .A. the London Mayor is confident in the schemeB. the scheme will be cancelled because of the problemsC. all the citizens in London support the schemeD. the cycling revolution is not successfulBBobby Moresco grew up in New Yorks Hells Kitchen, a tough working-class neighborhood on Manhattans West Side. But Hells Kitchen lies right next door to Broadway(百老汇), and the bright lights attracted Bobby from the time he was a teen. Being stage-struck(憧憬舞台) was hardly what a street kid could admit to his partners. Fearing their ridicule, he told no one, not even his girlfriend, when he started taking acting lessons at age 17. If you were a kid from the neighborhood, you became a cop, construction worker, longshoreman or criminal. Not an actor. Moresco struggled to make that long walk a few blocks east. He studied acting, turned out for all the cattle calls - and during the decade of the 1970s made a total of $2,000. I wasnt a good actor, but I had a driving need to do something different with my life, he says. He moved to Hollywood, where he drove a cab and worked as a bartender(酒保). My father said, Stop this craziness and get a job; you have a wife and daughter. “But Moresco kept working at his chosen craft. Then in 1983 his younger brother Thomas was murdered in a mob-linked killing. Moresco moved back to his old neighborhood and started writing as a way to explore the pain and the patrimony of Hells Kitchen. Half-Deserted Streets, based on his brothers killing, opened at a small Off-Broadway theater in 1988. A Hollywood producer saw it and asked him to work on a screenplay. His reputation grew, and he got enough assignments to move back to Hollywood. By 2003, he was again out of work and out of cash when he got a call from Paul Haggis, a director who had befriended him. Haggis wanted help writing a film about the country after September 11. The two worked on the writing, but every studio in town turned it down. They kept pitching it. Studio executives, however, thought no one wanted to see a severe, honest vision of race and fear and lives in collision in modern America. Moresco believed so strongly in the script that he borrowed money, sold his house. He and Haggis kept pushing. At last the writers found an independent film producer who would take a chance, but the upfront money was too little, Moresco delayed his salary. Crash slipped into the theaters in May 2005, and quietly became both a hit and a critical success. It was nominated(提名) for six Academy Awards and won three - Best Picture, Best Film Editing and Best Writing (Original Screenplay) by Paul Haggis and the kid from Hells Kitchen. At age 54, Bobby Moresco became an overnight success. If you have something you want to do in life, dont think about the problems, he says, think about other ways to get it done. 45.

And you could buy a Boeing 747 for the cost of a pizza.”Probably the biggest payoff, however, is the billions of dollars the Internet is saving companies in producing goods and serving for the needs of their customers. Nothing like it has been seen since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, when power-driven machines began producing more in a day than men could turn out in nearly a year. “We view the growth of the Internet and e-commerce as a global trend,” says Merrill Lynch, “along the lines of printing press, the telephone, the computer, and electricity.”You would be hard pressed to name something that isnt available on the Internet. Consider: books, health care, movie tickets, construction materials, baby clothes, stocks, cattle feed, music, electronics, antiques, tools, real estate, toys, autographs of famous people, wine and airline tickets. And even after youve moved on to your final resting place, theres no reason those you love cant keep in touch. A company called FinalT offers a place for you to store “afterlife e-mails” you can send to Heaven with the help of a “guardian angel”.Kids today are so computer literate that it in fact ensures the United States will remain the unchallenged leader in cyberspace for the foreseeable(能预测的) future. Nearly all children in families with incomes of more than $75,000 a year have home computers, according to a study by the David and Lucile Packard Foundation. Youngsters from ages 2 to 17 at all income levels have computers, with 52% of those connected to the Internet. Most kids use computers to play games (some for 30 hours or more a week), and many teenage girls think nothing of rushing home from school to have e-mail chats with friends they have just left.Whats clear is that, whether we like it or not, the Internet is an ever growing part of our lives and there is no turning back. “The Internet is just 20% invented,” says cyber pioneer Jake Winebaum. “The last 80% is happening now.”51. What can we learn from the Microsofts remark? A. Todays cars and airplanes are extremely overpriced. B. Information technology is developing at an amazing speed. C. Information technology has reached the point where improvement is difficult. D. Theres more competition in information technology industry than in car industry.52.
