Their answer is the bicycle, or bike.In a great many cities, hundreds of people ride bicycles to work every day. In New York City, some bike riders have even formed a group called “Bike for a Better City”. They claim that if more people rode bicycles to work there would be fewer automobiles in the downtown section of the city and therefore less dirty air from car engines.For several years this group has been trying to get city government to help bicycle riders. For example, they want the city to paint special lanesfor bicycles onlyon some of the main streets, because when bicycle riders must use the same lanes as cars, there may be accidents. “Bike for a Better City” feels that if there were special lanes, more people would use bikes.But no bicycle lanes have been painted yet. Not everyone thinks it is a good idea. Taxi drivers dont like the ideathey say it will slow traffic. Some store owners on the main streets dont like the ideathey say that if there is less traffic, they will have less business. And most people live too far from downtown to travel by bike.The city government has not yet decided what to do. It wants to keep everyone happy. On weekends, Central Parkthe largest open place in New Yorkis closed to cars, and the roads may be used by bicycles only. But “Bike for a Better City” says that this is not enough and keeps fighting to get bicycle lanes downtown. Until that happens, the safest place to bicycle may be in the park.（1）The underlined word “automobiles” in the second paragraph means _.A . carsB . trainsC . planesD . ships（2）Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A . Special lanes are needed on every street.B . “Bike for a Better City” members ride bicycles to work.C . The Central Park is closed to cars on weekdays.D . Accidents wont happen if cars and bikes are on different lanes.（3）No bicycle lanes have been painted yet because _.A . the city government cant help to paint the lanesB . the main streets are not wide enoughC . the idea isnt accepted by allD . theres no need for most people to travel by bike（4）This passage is mainly about _.A . city problems and “Bike for a Better City”B . “Bike for a Better City” and the city governmentC . the governments idea on traffic and city pollutionD . a suggestion on the city problems of traffic and pollution19. （4分）阅读理解April Hot SALE Nobel Book storeTo celebrate our 30th birthday, we are having a big sale!Childrens booksTextbookPicture bookStory book25% off30% off20 % off20% disount(折扣)on all adults books!Amazing events in our birthday month:Time&PlaceEventSpeaker25 April, 4 p.m.Fanta Centre, 3FIntroduction:The School DiariesClaire Tay,writer of the book26 April, 1 p. m.Retro Mall, 2FDiscussion:How to improve through readingMichael Hawes,English professor28 April, 7 p. m.Winkel Mall, 1FLecture:The most popular books of the yearDavid Koh,director of the bookstore29 April,8 p. m.Fanta Centre, 3FQuestion & Answer:Face to face with a renowned writerKate White, winner of many international awardsSpend over $50 and get a chance to win a $10 gift card.Spend over $100 and get a chance to win prizes, from Nobel membership, e-dictionaries to concert tickets!（1）You can get the biggest discount on .

Youve made friends since childhood, but you still dont know who your true friends are. _Always honestHonesty is important to keep a relationship alive. _It may be hard sometimes but lying can destroy a friendship. It is important that your friend speaks honestly and never makes up stories._There are always periods in your life when you have problems or difficulties. A true friend will always have time to listen to your problems and give advice. It may not be able to solve your problems but the fact that your friend makes time to listen is a sign that he cares about you. Your friend is not a true friend if he can never make time for you when you are in trouble. You also need to accept that your friend also has other things to do so he cant always listen to your problem at once.Always respectful(尊重人的)A true friend will always respect your opinion no matter whether he or she agrees or not. _Always understanding_A true friend will always be understanding and forgiving(谅解的). Even if it isnt his or her fault. We are all different people and we all make mistakes. A true friend is always understanding and forgiving because he or she doesnt want to take the risk of losing his or her best friend.A. A true friend always tells you the truth.B. Here are some signs to tell you if your friend is a true friend.C. It is possible that some problems will appear between two friends.D. Your true friend may disagree but never insist(坚持) that he is correct.E.
