An increasing number of people choose cycling instead of driving to school, to workplaces or to do sightseeing. Bike-sharing plans are warmly welcomed in many cities. Mobike had 5.85 million active users while ofo had 1.4 million in the first week of this year.People can unlock the shared bikes by simply using their smartphones. All bikes have GPS and can be left anywhere in public for the next user. Theyre popular among many Chinese people because they help solve “last-mile” problems in cities. For example, many people find it difficult to get to the hotel when they get off trains or to travel around the city.However, the plans have also led to problems such as illegal parking, vandalism (故意破坏 ) and theft( 偷盗 ). In February, two nurses in Beijing were placed under administrative detention (行政拘留) for five days for putting locks on two shared bikes.In fact, these problems are also shared by bike-sharing plans abroad. Started in 2007, Velib is the largest public bike sharing system in Paris. At its early period, it also met with problems of vandalism or theft. To deal with these problems, the company came up with the idea of encouraging people to return the bikes to stations by rewarding free time for their next rides.Now, Chinese service organizations are also trying to deal with these problems. For example, Mobike sets a 100-point credit score(信用分数) for each user, but the points will be taken because of his or her bad behavior. Once a score drops below 80, bike rental(租金)will be increased from 1 yuan to 100 yuan per 30 minutes.16 . Why are the shared bikes popular in cities according to the second paragraph?ABecause people can find them everywhere.BBecause people can go to different places easily.CBecause it is convenient to pay for itDBecause they help solve “last- mile” problems in cities,17 . What reward will people get if they return Velib bikes to stations?APeople will be rewarded by getting free time for their next rides.BPeople will be rewarded by getting 100 point credit score.CPeople will be rewarded by paying less when they use the shared bikes.DPeople will be rewarded by riding bikes for free forever.18 . Bike-sharing plans have also led to problems for example, _.A. people park their bikes wherever they want toB. people steal the shared bikesC. people reuse the broken bike partsD. Both A and B.People use sayings(谚语) every day. You may ask an unhappy friend why shes “feeling blue”. If youve done only a small part of a big job, you might call it “a drop in the bucket”.These sayings dont mean exactly what the words say. But its easy to tell why we use them. Blue is a cool, quiet color. So its a good word for sad. A bucket holds too many water drops to count. So just one drop is very little.Some sayings are difficult to understand. When you go to bed, you “hit the hay(干草)”. If you want to know the meaning of the saying, you must know where it came from. It was first used in the 1930s. At that time, many Americans were out of work. Some went from place to place, looking for jobs. At night they were very tired. They often made a bed of hay in a field or barn. As soon as their heads hit the hay, they fell asleep.Here is another saying. When you are not feeling well, you might say you are “under the weather”. But why? This saying is more than 200 years old. It began in the days when many people went from place to place by boat. When the strong winds rocked the boat, people often felt uncomfortable. The boat was sailing(航行) “under the weather”. Old sayings can be hard for children to understand. But new sayings come along every day. Children often understand new sayings better than older people do, Thats why your grandmother might not know what you mean when you say “chill out” or “give me five”. She might think youre “off your rocker”.19 . The saying “hit the hay” means “_”.Ago to sleepBlook for jobsCgo to workDmake a bed of hay20 .
