I loved it very much and rode it every day.When I was 5, my cousin gave me a pink bike. It was a true bicycle with just two wheels! At the time, my parents were too busy to teach me how to ride it. So I had to learn to ride by myself. I practiced hard on weekends and during vacations, although I still didnt know how to make turns.One summer vacation, I borrowed an old bike and rode it with my friends on a country road. We sang and practiced our riding skills. Suddenly, a small boy ran into the road. I was shocked and couldnt control the bike at all. My bike ran into the boy and he fell. He didnt get very seriously hurt, but his grandma was too angry to accept my apology. My cousin appeared five minutes later and saved me from the mess. But the experience frightened me: I no longer dared to ride a bike.Then, last year, free bikes were offered to children. My mother tried to teach me how to ride. But the traffic made me so nervous that I had to ride really slowly. But Im not going to give up. One day, believe me; youd see me riding a bike in a big street.21 .

There， its dark most of the winter， and light most of the summer. But in most of the world， people have used the sun for a clock. Even today， if you dont have a clock， you still know that when the sun shines， its day， and when its dark， its night. The sun can also tell you if its morning， noon， or afternoon.People near the sea can tell time from the tides(潮汐). In the daytime， for about six hours， the water rises higher and higher on the beach. And then it goes down and down for about six hours. The same thing happens again at night. There are two high tides and two low tides every 24 hours.Seamen on a ship learn how to tell time by looking at the moon and the stars. The whole sky is their clock. In some places in the world the wind comes up at about the same time every day or changes direction or stops blowing. In these places the wind can be the clock.A sand(沙) clock is an even better clock. If you had fine dry sand in a glass shaped like the one in the picture， you would have what is called an hourglass. The sand in the hourglass goes from the top part to the bottom(底部) part in exactly one hour. When people turn over the hourglass， the sand will take another hour to go back again.26 . How many ways does the passage show us to tell time including the watches and clocks?A9B4C7D527 .

In which column(栏目) of a newspaper can you most probably read this passage?AScience.BNews.CAdvertisements.DSports.Just a couple of hours ago, I was on the plane, ready to fly home from London. The flight had been put off by a few hours so it felt good to be so close to take-off. I had my iPod in place and a new book to read. Then, over the loudspeaker came the pilots voice: “Were sorry to tell you we must cancel this flight because theres still something wrong with the plane.”The passengers reactions(反应)that announcement led to were interesting. One man close to me began to argue with an air hostess. A couple in another row complained loudly. A businessman in a black suit even kicked the seat in front of him. Yet some passengers acted differently. An elderly gentleman smiled as he helped others take their bags down from the shelf. A teenager, rather than trying to rush off the plane like most of the other passengers, stopped to help a woman with a disability. The lady sitting next to me laughed and said: “Hey, its not the end of the world,” before she made a call to her kids and shared her adventure with them.No life is perfect; mine certainly isnt. We all must face challenges, both large and small. You and I have the power to choose to rise above the external circumstances(外部环境).
