The scooter balances by itself with one or two wheels（轮子）. Some of them also have a handle（手柄）. Riders lean forward to make the scooter go faster. It also can stop if the rider shifts their weight backwards.However, starting from the end of August, people can no longer ride electric scooters on public roads. It is in the interests of traffic safety, according to Beijings traffic authorities（官方）. There will be a 10 yuan fine（罚款）for those who ride scooters on the road. This follows Shanghais decision to get scooters off the road last month.The one-wheeled scooters can go as fast as 30km an hour and they dont have brakes（刹车系统）, a traffic policeman told Beijing Youth Daily. Two-wheeled scooters can even go as fast as cars at 60km an hour. But their brakes cannot compete with that of a car. Its very easy for scooters to run into cars or buses or hurt people on roads.But this doesnt mean that scooters are only dangerous on public roads. People who ride them in doors or in their living places should also be careful, according to the Beijing Consumer Association.There are still no national safety standards for electric scooters and some of them are very dangerous.The association tested more than 20 electric scooters from different companies and found that most had safety problems. Nineteen scooters couldnt come to a full stop in less than 4 meters. This could be very dangerous.（1）How can riders stop the scooters while driving them? A . They use the handle to stop.B . They put more weight forward.C . They shift their body weight backwards.D . They use brakes to stop.（2）Why cant the scooters go on the road in Beijing? A . Because the authorities are not interested in scooters.B . Because scooters may bring traffic problems.C . Because people in Beijing are not used to driving scooters.D . Because the authorities want to compete with Shanghais decision.（3）Which of the following is TRUE about scooters? A . There can be either one wheel or two on scooters.B . The one-wheeled scooters can even go faster than cars.C . The two-wheeled scooters have the same brakes as cars.D . Scooters are not dangerous if people use them indoors.（4）Whats the result of the Associations test? A . Scooter companies wouldnt follow the national safety standards.B . Most companies that make scooters have safety problems.C . Scooters cant come to a complete stop by themselves.D . About 95 percent of scooters have problems stopping.25. （10分）阅读理解 Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents.However, it is not true.Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If its hard for you to communicate with your parents, dont worry about it. Here is some advice for you to bridge the generation gap(消除代沟).Dont argue with your parents. Dont get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably wont consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you cant express yourself well if you are angry. Go to some-place to calm down. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you dont think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.Try to reach a compromise(和解).Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michaels mother didnt agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days. Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong. Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. Please have a try!（1）The passage tells us have a communication problem.
