Planners, politicians and media keep showing off their benefits: reducing pollution, congestion, travel costs and oil dependence, while improving public health. Bike sharing also helps make cities app

12、ear modern, dynamic and world-widequalities much sought after by the creative class.But what makes for a successful public bike-sharing program? This is an important question because installing one requires significant public and private investment and adjustment to the built environment.While many

13、programs have been launched among much praise, often their popularity has soon declined. Many end up operating at a financial loss and depend on other profitable enterprises to cross-subsidize(交叉补贴) them. Some have resulted in thrown-away bikes becoming an eyesore.Understanding which factors enhance

14、 or stop public bike sharing is critical in helping cities decide whether such a program is workable, before considering what design and sitting will work best.Drawing on current knowledge, we discuss the importance of the local landscape, climate, cycling infrastructure (基础设施) and land use. We also

15、 touch on other factors, such as the legal environment and the characteristics of the bike-sharing program itself.Take natural environment for example. Two natural environment factors are known to affect participation: hilliness and weather. Hilliness discourages balanced bike-sharing use, as users

16、avoid returning bicycles to stations on hilltops. Those stations end up being empty, while stations on flat areas are often full, so users cannot find a station to return their bikes.As for weather, ideal temperature ranges vary by the climate zone. Case studies show warm and dry weather encourages

17、public bike-sharing use. Rain and strong wind reduce the frequency of trips.

Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions.Worrisome thoughts ar

21、e constantly occurring in their minds: what kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes? It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must negatively affect people. A persons conception of himself or herself is reflected in the way he or sh

22、e behaves, and the way a person behaves affects other peoples reactions. In general, the way people think about themselves has a profound effect on all areas of their lives.Shy people, having low self-esteem, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need reassurance that they a

23、re doing the right thing. Shy people are very sensitive to criticism; they feel it confirms their feelings of inferiority. They also find it difficult to be pleased by compliment with a statement like this one, Youre just saying that to make me feel good. I know its not true. It is clear that while

24、self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.Can shyness be completely eliminated, or at least reduced?

That is the shared dream of the toy maker Hasbro and scient

29、ists at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. The researchers received a $ 3-million-dollar award from the National Science Foundation for a special project. They want to find ways to add artificial intelligence, or AI., to Hasbros “Joy for All” robotic.The cat has already been for sale for

30、two years. Though priced over 1000 dollars, it sold quite well. It was meant to act as a “companion” for older people. Now the project is aimed at developing additional abilities for the cat.

38、Train travelers will surely agree that when the guard makes an announcement, whether its the recorded message or the guards message, few people listen to it, because its often quite dull or hard to understand. This one was different. I noticed that other passengers appeared to be listening, too. Not

39、 only that, everyone was smiling!Why was so much attention being paid to this message? As best I can recall, the guard said something along these lines, “Good Morning Ladies, Gentlemen and Children, this is the 7.35 a.m. from Penrith to Central and youll be pleased to know that we are on time. And w

41、alking to one another about the guards excellent message and how good it had made everyone feel. I started thinking about this, and then I found the young guard and said “Were you the guard on the 7:35 a.m. from Penrith?” The guard seemed a bit stunned at first, replying, “Yes, yyyyes.” “Well, I rea

42、lly appreciate your announcement. Thank you for your extremely good message, which gave me and the other passengers such a good start to the day. Please keep doing it.” I said.There are two messages for me in what happened that day. Firstly, when people are happy in their work it shows in what that

43、do and say. Secondly, the story attaches much importance to the benefits that accumulate from thanking people for something theyve done, particularly when its not expected. Can you imagine the conversation that guard would have when he got home?1、Why do few train travelers listen to the announcement

44、s?AThey usually feel sleepy. BThe messages are unattractive.CThe guards voice is not clear. DThey are absorbed in books.2、What does the underlined word “stunned” in Paragraph 3 mean?ASurprised.

46、at work is good for many businesses. But it isnt always an easy thing. A study suggests that only 33% of the U.

48、 were “very” or “extremely” satisfied with their role as a small company employee.Unlike big companies, small companies are often short of resources but the employees can get more surprises there. Small companies offer excellent career opportunities to their employees. The bosses often know their st

49、aff very well and understand their personal needs. Employees of small companies are more likely to receive free meals, paid leave, and they can even bring their pets to work.But of course ? there are many other draws in small businesses. One of the top draws is flexible scheduling (弹性工时). Another is

50、 being able to really see the fruits of ones labor. Besides, non-cash award is also a big draw. This could be something small that reflects employees interests and lifestyles.While a parental leave might lead to some financial problems, small companies may do something to improve it. “It may be impo

51、ssible for a five-person team to be reduced to four for six months,” writes Camillia Velasquez, head of HR management platform, Justworks. “But it could be possible to allow new parents to take on reduced hours in a work-from-home environment. ” This kind of method has been realized in some small co
