sinar, 51, a doctor from washington, n. c., is quick to explain why he took a yearlong break from his job. “i was pretty burned out after practicing medicine for 26 years. i needed a recharge.” so he took a “gap year”, from july 2011 to june 2012, to explore things like ancient buildings, antique restoration, archaeology and traditional eastern medicine, in locations including alaska, nepal and romania.“taking a break from work is an excellent way for adults to go into a new career or refresh an old one,” said holly bull, president of the center for interim (过渡时期) programs in princeton, n, j., which sets up gap-year programs. the group works mainly with college-age students, but it has also served older adults since it was formed 28 years ago. “in recent years, mid-career breaks have been gaining more interest,” she said. a report on adult gap years published this year by a market research company also described the potential american market for gap years as a “sleeping giant.”“a gap year is a challenge for the older individual to step out of a comfort zone and take a risk. i enjoyed that side most.” said dr. sinar, who kept a daily blog about his experience. his time studying eastern medicine “reaffirmed(再次肯定) the reasons i went into health care,” said dr. sinar, who returned to practice medicine at his old job, although he works fewer days. “i use those experiences to provide my patients with more care,” he added. “and i listen better than i did before.”george garritan, chairman of the department of leadership and human capital management at new york university, certainly agrees with dr. sinar. he said a gap-year experience could be worthwhile for employees and companies. for employees, investing in themselves and improving skill sets is a move that will benefit throughout their career. he added that returning employees feel refreshed and have given more thought to their career. for companies, offering unpaid leaves makes good sense for attracting and keeping talented employees.“my hope is that this takes off,” dr. garritan said. “were all thinking, whats my next act?”59. dr. sinar took a gap year because he _.a. had lost his old jobb. had a desire for travellingc. felt exhausted after 26 years workd. became interested in historical research60. after his gap year, dr. sinar _.a. began to enjoy taking risksb. improved his listening abilityc. became more considerate in his jobd. regretted choosing medicine as his career61. whats george garritans attitude toward the “gap year”?a. positive. b. suspicious.c. uninterested. d. conservative.62. whats the passage mainly about?a. how an adult plans a mid-career gap year.b. why a gap year is worthwhile for adults.c. whether a gap year is popular with adults.d. why a gap year is challenging for individuals.cbike-sharingwhen public bikes rolled onto the streets of new york, it was treated as a national event and even international media took notice. like the situations in other cities carrying out the program, bike-sharing in new york allows a subscriber to “borrow” a bike from one of hundreds of locations in the city, use it, and return it to another location at the end of the journey.the united states may be a little late to the game, but the business of european-style bike share isnt that old to begin with. in a 2003 paper for transportation quarterly, bike share expert paul demaio, then a transportation planner for alexandria, identified three generations of public-use bike programs, going back to 1968 in amsterdam with the use of so-called “white bikes.”the next major development was in copenhagen, which introduced a coin-operated system in 1995 called “city bike.” for 17 years, these bikes zipped through the streets of denmarks capital until the program was shut down late last yearits getting an upgrade to the third generation technology.sponsored by media giant clear channel, the french city of rennes brought the next generation of bike share technology to the world in 1998 by replacing coin operation with card access and electronic records. from there the technology has progressed, picking up gps(global position system)and real-time tracking along the way, and has spread throughout western europeand the world.at present, there are 553 bike share programs in operation worldwide and another 193 in planning or under construction. and theyre not just in europe and north america. the worldwide leader in bike-sharing, as measured by the number of bikes, is china. according to data collected by the earth policy institute, 20 of the 25 largest bike share programs are chinese. its largest one, in the city of wuhan, has twice the number of bikes as all of frances shares combined.the benefits of bike-sharing programs in any city are plentiful. they relieve traffic jams, relax parking shortages, reduce air pollution and promote fitness. so if you are in any city where public bikes are provided, get out of your car during rush hour and try bike-sharing!63. in which city did bike-sharing start?a. alexandria. b. amsterdam.c. copenhagen. d. rennes.64. why was the coin-operated system closed in copenhagen?a. because bikes made the streets over-crowded.b. because it would be replaced by a new system.c. because its time limit was reached after 17 years.d. because no sponsors provided money to support it.65. we can learn from the passage that bike shares are _.a. free of charge b. costly programc. time-consuming d. environmental-friendly66. what can be inferred from the passage?a. bike shares have gained worldwide popularity.b. most bikes used in the program are of european-style.c. bike share program in china first started in the city of wuhan.d. a national celebration for the program was held in new york.dpopcorn(爆米花) at the
