Sally, who has no children, claims that her younger sister acts as if no one ever had a beby before. Neither Sally nor Joan understands that the real cause of the current coldness is that their family roles have suddenly changed to the opposite.

Nearly 75 percent admitted having hidden competitive feelings. In a few cases, these emotions were so strong as to have affected their entire lives. Many adult brothers and sisters are close, supportive-yet still tend to compete. Two brothers I know turn into killers when on opposite sides of a tennis net. Off the court, they are the best of friends. My own younger sister cant wait to tell me when Ive put on weight.

As a student on a budget, I couldnt afford the 30 pounds (around 300 yuan) fare for a taxi. Even a bus was one pound and 20 pence (about 12 yuan) for a single ticket. I didnt need to travel this way anyway. I had Mabel- my London bike. When I moved to Beijing, like every foreigner, I was delighted to discover I could take a cab for cheaper than a single journey on the subway. But something was wrong. I missed Mabel. That was when I met Mandarin Mabel also known as Mandy, my Beijing bike. In many ways, Beijing is made for: It is a flat, easy land compared with hilly London. The cycling citys north/south/east/west square structure is also easier to travel than Londons unplanned, twisting streets. However, Beijing comes completely with its own dangers. The rules of the road areflexible. Bikes, cars, passers-by all float up and down ways in both directions. Compared with Londons terrible cycle paths, in Beijing, every road has huge, wide cycle ways. But cars, taxis and motorbikes see no reason why they shouldnt use the cycle ways as a shortcut, and why they shouldnt announce you to get out of their way when they do. Beijing traffic is more good-natured. In London, the road is an active war. People shout, quarrel and beat on each others windows. In Beijing zone, drivers never get actively angry. In fact, often they ignore cyclists. Obviously that means its up to the cyclists to see them. Mandy is a tree Beijing bike. It is nearly broken, it makes loud noises every time you ride on it, and I have had to make several emergency repair stops for it. But cycling round Beijing on a sunny day is a joy. It is just me, Mandy and the city.41. What can we conclude from the first paragraph?A. Bicycles are the most popular means of transport in London.B. To save money, the author used travel around by bus in London.C. The expense of public transport makes some people want to buy a bike.D. The author didnt travel around London because of lacking a bike.【答案】C【解析】推理判断题。根据Taxi, the underground, drivingin London these means of transport are expensive.乘坐其他的公共交通费用是高的，所以一些人想要买自行车，故选C。42. What does the author think of cycling around Beijing?A. The citys twisting streets make it hard for
