Some people think they have an answer to the troubles of traffic jams and air pollution in large cities. Their answer is the bicycle， or bike.

In a great many cities， hundreds of people ride bicycles to work every day. In New York City， some bike riders have even formed a group called Bike for a Better City. They claim that if more people rode bicycles to work， there would be fewer automobiles in the downtown section of the city and therefore less dirty air from car engines.

For several years this group has been trying to get the city government to help bike riders. For example， they want the city to draw special lanes for bicycles only on some of the main streets， because when bike riders must use the same lanes as cars， there may be accidents. Bike for a Better City feels that if there were special lanes， more people would use bikes.

But no bicycle lanes have been drawn yet. Not everyone thinks it is a good idea. Taxi drivers say it will slow traffic. Some store owners on the main streets say that if there is less traffic， they will have less business. And most people live too far from downtown to travel by bike.

The city government has not yet decided what to do. It wants to keep everyone happy. Only on weekends， Central Park， the largest open place in New York， is closed to cars， and the roads may be used by bicycles only. But Bike for a Better City says that is not enough and keeps fighting to get bicycle lanes downtown.

1. What may Bike for a Better City be？

A. A party. B. A company.

C. A person. D. An organization.

2. Who strongly prefer the idea of special bicycle lanes？

A. Some bike riders.

B. Some store owners.

C. The city government.

D. People living far from downtown.

3. Why are there no bicycle lanes in New York City？

A. The main streets are not wide enough.

B. The city government is too busy to do it.

C. Some people dont think it is a good idea.

D. Most people live too far to travel by bike.

4. When is Central Park in New York closed to cars？

A. On Saturdays And Sundays. B. In The Afternoons.

C. On Weekdays. D. In Holidays.

Getting stuck in a traffic jam is one of the most boring problems for people living in big cities. The fact that youre moving so slowly leads to stress， anger and the wish that your car could just fly over the traffic like an airplane.

Soon， however， that wish could come true. On May 8， US car-renting company Uber showed off what it described as “the transportation mode of the future： on-demand air transport，” reported ABC News.

According to Nikhill Goel， head of products for Uber Air， the companys air taxi service may launch test flights in the US cities of Dallas and Los Angeles， as well as Dubai in the United Arab Emirates， as early as 2020. If everything goes according to plan， passengers will be able to fly to work by 2023.

“When the Olympics comes to Los Angeles in 2028. Uber expects to have hundreds， if not thousands， of its aircraft in the skies.”? Goel told Newsweek.

So what would Ubers flying vehicles be like？

They are small， electric aircraft that take off and land vertically， and they give off zero emissions and are quiet enough to operate in cities.

Just like an airplane， the vehicles will have fixed wings to help them glide. But while a helicopter has just one big fixed rotor （定量）， Ubers vehicles will have multiple rotors， which will help increase fuel efficiency while reducing emissions and noise.

“Because of these fixed wines and multiple rotors. Ubers flying taxis should be quieter and safer than a helicopter.” reported ABC News.

However， the service still has a long way to go before its ready to accept passengers. For example， to avoid any potential accidents， Uber is working with NASA to study air traffic control problems associated with low-flying aircraft. But just as Dubais Mayor Betty Price said in a news release， “This program is revolutionary and future-oriented.”

5. When do Ubers flying taxis are expected to take passengers？

A. In 2020. B. In 2023.

C. In 2028. D. In 2030.

6. How are Ubers flying taxis different from helicopters？

A. They have one big rotor.

B. They need more fuel to fly.

C. They have fewer fixed wings.

D. They will be quieter and safer.

7. Which is true about the flying cars according to the text？

A. They can be as efficient as airplanes.

B. They are easier to take off and land than helicopters.

C. They will surely help passengers avoid accidents.

D. They will do almost no harm to the environment.

8.What is the text mainly about？

A.Ubers plan to launch flying taxis.

B.The advantages of Ubers flying taxis.

C.Different opinions about Ubers flying taxis.

D.The difficulties Uber is facing in testing flying vehicles.

Carmakers now allow drivers to make phone calls， use email， and text， etc. Cars used to have a few buttons. Some cars now have as many as 50 buttons.

“Its adding complex information at drivers fingertips without often considering whether its a good idea to put it at their fingertips，” University of Utah professor David Strayer said. That complexity increases the time drivers spend trying to use the systems.

The systems “are developed to be used in the driving environment and require drivers attention that is comparable to turning on the radio， which has always been considered acceptable behavior while driving，” said Wade Newton， a spokesman for the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers.

But Jake Nelson， AAAs director for traffic safety research， said drivers testing all 30 of the 2017 model year cars took their eyes off the road and hands off the wheel while using the systems. The test drivers touch screens and other technologies to make calls， send texts， turn on the radio， or program navigation all while driving.

Researchers said 23 of the 30 cars were considered “very high” or “high” in terms of the attention they required from drivers. It takes drivers about 40 seconds to program navigation systems. Research made before has shown that drivers who took their eyes from the road for just two seconds double their risk of a crash.

In 2012， the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration made voluntary safety guidelines to carmakers. The guidelines suggest that automakers lock out the ability to program navigation systems while a car is moving. However， the ability to program navigation while driving was allowed in 12 cars in the study. The guidelines also suggest carmakers prevent drivers from texting while driving， but three-quarters of the cars tested allow drivers to text while the car is moving.

4. What did David Strayer feel about the systems？

A. Interested. B. Excited.

C. Worried. D. Dissatisfied.

5. What did Wade Newton say about the systems？

A. They were good choices for drivers.

B. They couldnt be used while driving.

C. They were unacceptable to the public.

D. They were mainly used for navigation.

6. What may agree with Jake Nelsons idea about the systems？

A. They were risky but worthwhile.

B. They were quick and easy to use.

C. They saved drivers a lot of time.

D. They increased the risk of accidents.

7. What can we infer about voluntary safety guidelines？

A. They are quite welcome.

B. They are not properly made.

C. They are not strictly followed.

D. They are very helpful to drivers.

I passed my driving test at the fourth attempt. You might think that means Im not as safe as someone who passed on their first attempt. But would you feel safer with no driver at all？ Maybe not， and thats why automotive firms have included driver-assist functions in their driverless cars. This allows the human driver to take over if there is a problem.

Google is one producer that has prototype （原型） driverless cars. These cars have been newly equipped with auto-steering wheels and conventional controls to allow normal driving. But this is just a stage—the vision is to have fully automated cars very soon. The director of Googles self-drive project， Chris Urmson， hopes his 11-year-old son will never have to take a driving test. To achieve that， the cars need to be on the roads in five years. He says driverless cars will greatly reduce accidents and traffic jams.

According to Chris， about 1.2 million people are killed on the roads around the world each year. That number is equal to a jet falling out of the sky every day. He thinks gradual changes to existing car designs are not enough to deal with the problems. “If we are really going to make changes to our cities， get rid of parking lots， we need self-drive cars，” he says.

Googles prototypes have covered over a million kilometers on the road. They have also had to deal with unexpected situations， such as a child driving a toy car in the road， and a woman in an electric wheelchair chasing a duck. In each case， the car reacted safely.

Some are not convinced. Sven Beiker of Stanford University thinks driverless cars will still need human input in extreme circumstances.

1. What is the authors chief concern about driverless cars according to Paragraph 1？

A. The price. B. The safety.

C. The functions. D. The appearance.

2. Why did Chris Urmson mention his 11-year-old son？

A. To show his son is a slow learner in driving.

B. To say driverless cars will come soon.

C. To say traditional cars may harm kids.

D. To show his son is bad at driving.

3. What is Chris Urmsons comment on self-drive cars？

A. They are safer than a jet plane.

B. They should change gradually.

C. They can completely change our cities.

D. They can solve many existing traffic problems.

4. What can we learn from the passage？

A. Driving tests will be easier to pass in the near future.

B. Googles prototypes will be tested on the roads soon.

C. Self-drive cars are not designed for children or women.

D. Concerns remain about the reliability of self-drive cars.

Tips for Cooking on a Tight Schedule （時(shí)間表）

From my experience， there are three main reasons why people dont cook more often： ability， money， and time. 1 Money is a topic Ill save for another day. So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen. Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule：

Think ahead. The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when Im already hungry and theres nothing ready to eat. So think ahead of the coming week. When will you have time to cook？ Do you have the right materials already？ 2

Make your time worth it. When you do find time to cook a meal， make the most of it and save yourself time later on. Are you making one loaf of bread？ 3 It takes around the same amount of time to make more of something. So save yourself the effort for a future meal.

4 This may surprise you， but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation. It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite （食欲） and schedule. The more you learn and the more you try， the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.

Hopefully that gives you a good start. 5 And dont let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live！

A.Try new things.

B.Ability is easily improved.

C.Make three or four instead.

D.Understand your food better.

E.Cooking is a burden for many people.

F.Let cooking and living simply be a joy rather than a burden.

G.A little time planning ahead can save a lot of work later on.

Unique Modes of Transportation

獨(dú)特的交通方式

Venice—Traghetto? 威尼斯擺渡船

There are just three bridges along the 3.5km stretch of Venices Grand Canal， so how do you get across？ By Traghetto （meaning “ferry” in Italian）， of course. The unglamorous sibling of the gondola， these no-frills boats get passengers from one side of the canal to the other for a meagre fee. You can pick up a Traghetto from any of the seven piers along the canal—just look for the yellow signs pointing you towards the landings. Each boat is rowed by two oarsmen—one at the bow and the other behind the passengers， as in a gondola—if you want to ride like a Venetian， you should stand for the short journey.

總長(zhǎng)約3.5千米的威尼斯大運(yùn)河上，一共只有三座橋梁，那你要怎么過(guò)河呢？當(dāng)然是坐Traghetto（意大利語(yǔ)“渡船”）啦。這種擺渡船和著名的貢多拉很像，但是沒(méi)貢多拉那么精致迷人。這些無(wú)裝飾的船只將乘客從運(yùn)河的一邊送到另一邊，只收取很少的費(fèi)用。你可以在運(yùn)河沿岸七個(gè)碼頭中的任意一個(gè)搭乘Traghetto——會(huì)有一些黃色指示牌指示你在哪里登船，只要找到它們即可。每艘船有兩個(gè)槳手，像貢多拉一樣，一個(gè)在船頭，另一個(gè)在所有乘客身后。如果你想像威尼斯人一樣出行，那就忍受一下這趟短途旅程吧。

Pakistan—Tangah? 巴基斯坦馬車(chē)

Save yourself a few bucks in Pakistan and ride on a Tangah， rather than the more commonly used rickshaws and taxis. A Tangah is a carriage， sitting atop two large wooden wheels （not exactly designed for comfort， so expect a sore bottom on a long journey！）， pulled by one or two horses. They have a low-glamour， but high fun factor and have become more widely used in Pakistan for enjoyment， rather than as a functional way of getting around. Just beware that theyre not the speediest way to travel！

想在巴基斯坦省點(diǎn)錢(qián)，那就坐Tangah，而不要選擇更常坐的人力三輪車(chē)和出租車(chē)。Tangah是架在兩個(gè)大木輪上（木輪可不是為了舒適而設(shè)計(jì)的，所以做好心理準(zhǔn)備，這趟漫長(zhǎng)旅程中你的屁股可要受罪了），由一兩匹馬拉的馬車(chē)。Tangah的樣子不怎么迷人，但卻非常有趣。在巴基斯坦，它越來(lái)越多地作為一種娛樂(lè)方式被廣泛使用，而不是一種功能性的交通工具。只是要注意，它們可不是速度最快的旅行方式喲！

Cambodia—Bamboo Train? 柬埔寨竹火車(chē)

Those with a strong constitution may want to ride a Cambodian bamboo train—known locally as a Nori. Passengers sit on a makeshift bamboo “train” （basically just a bamboo platform） powered by an electric generator engine， travelling at up to 40km/h. The unmaintained railway tracks make for a bumpy ride and the closest youll get to luxury is sitting on a grass mat. But the fares are low and this is a once in a lifetime experience， as all the locals use them for getting around.

體格強(qiáng)壯的人也許想要試試坐柬埔寨竹火車(chē)——也被當(dāng)?shù)厝朔Q(chēng)作Nori。乘客坐在一個(gè)臨時(shí)搭建的用發(fā)電機(jī)引擎供電的竹火車(chē)上（基本上是一個(gè)竹子平臺(tái)），以每小時(shí)至多40千米的速度行駛。無(wú)人維護(hù)的鐵路軌道讓旅途顛簸不平，而鋪上一張草墊子再坐在上面已經(jīng)是最奢侈的方式了。但是竹火車(chē)的票價(jià)很低，而且這是一次人生難得的體驗(yàn)，當(dāng)?shù)厝硕际褂盟鼈兂鲂小?/p>
