His group supports bicycling for fun, fitness and transportation（交通）. Clark says this is good news for the environment. He says riding a bicycle to work does not burn fossil fuel or creates dangerous pollutions. Experts say the effects are the most important on short trips. The Department of Transportation says fifty percent of Americans drive eight kilometers or fewer to work. Shorter car trips set out more pollution into the air for each kilometer drive. This is because the car engine will set out the harmful air when it warms up before it can work well. James, a members of Congress (国会), is a strong supporter of bicycle use. He says cities, counties, state governments and state highway transportation agencies are planning the roadways of the future. They are creating roads and paths for bicycles in cities and between communities. Last year, Portland, the Pacific Northwest city in the state of Oregon, had the highest percentage of bicycle users in the United States. Portland has been doing progressive city planning for many years to create special paths for bike riders. (Edited from /voanews/specialenglish/scripts/2008/11/28/0045/)6.

But we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today. Because man is slowly changing all the time.Let us take an example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on the average(平均), man is about 3 inches taller. 500 years is a relatively(相对地) short period of time, so we may suppose that man will continue to grow taller.Again, in the modern world we use our brains a lot. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brains capacity(容量). As time goes on, however, we will have to use our brains more and more and finally we will need larger ones! It is likely to bring about a physical change,too. The head, especially the forehead(前额), will grow larger.Nowadays our eyes are being used too much. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over a very long period of time, it is possible that mans eyes will grow stronger.On the other hand, we make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive(敏感的) because they are used a lot in modern life.But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether as time goes on because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both men and women are probably to be hairless!Perhaps all this gives the idea that future man will not be a very attractive person to look at! This may be true. All the same, besides these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and feelings similar to our own.11. How many aspects(方面) are talked about in the passage that future man is probably going to be different from us today? A. Three. B. Four. C. Five. D. Six.12. What does the word brain mean in Chinese? A. 头 B. 大脑 C. 身体 D. 下巴13. How much brains capacity of a person hasnt been used now? A. About 20%. B. About 80%. C. About 3%. D. About 500%.14. Why are our arms and legs likely to grow weaker? A. Because we make less use of them. B. Because they are used a lot. C. Because they dont serve a useful purpose any longer. D. Because we dont need them any more.15. Which of the following statements is True about man in the future? A. He will have smaller eyes and will wear better glasses. B. His fingers will grow stronger because he often uses them in modern life. C. He will be hairless because hair is no longer useful.D. He will think and feel in a different way. ( D )People often said Thomas Edison was the greatest genius(天才) of his age. There are only a few men in all of history, who have changed the lives of other men as much as the inventor of the first useful electric light. But Edison could never be pleased only because someone said he was a genius. There is no such a thing as genius, Edison said. He thought what people called genius was mostly hard work. But Edison was a thinker as well as a worker. From his earliest days as a childhe wondered about the secrets of nature. He tried to understand them, and then he tried to learn what he could usefully do with them. Edison enjoyed thinking. He knew that most people would do almost anything instead of the difficult work of thinking, especially if they do not think very often. But he knew, too, that thinking could give men enjoyment and pleasure. Edison could not understand why anyone could not be interested in life. As he loved to think, he also loved to work. On the day he became 75 years old, someone asked him what idea he had about life. Work, he answered, Discovering the secrets of nature and using them to make men happier. He said he had enough inventions in his mind to give him another 100 years of work.16. What is genius according to Thomas Edison?A. Hard thinking. B. Hard work. C. Useful ideas. D. Useful inventions.17. How did Edison always deal with the secrets of nature after exploring them?A. To write down what he had learned. B. To carry out a new experiment.C. To make them useful in life. D. To share them with others18. What could not Edison understand?A. He couldnt understand how anybody enjoyed life.B. He couldnt understand if anybody loved working.C.

He was either a good worker or a good thinker. C. He was a good thinker and he was a good worker, too. D. He was neither a good thinker nor a good worker. 20.
