As the coronavirus(冠状病毒)outbreak continues, many Americans are fearful of 【小题1】 (use) public transportation. They also are looking for ways【小题2】(get) exercise without having to go to a gym, as well as ways to enjoy the outdoors. So, it may not be【小题3】 (surprise) that the pandemic(流行病)has led to a major increase in bicycle sales.

In the United States, bicycles at big stores like Walmart have sold out. And small bicycle stores cannot keep up【小题4】demand for ^“family-style”   bicycles： the low-cost, easy — to — ride models. The bicycle industry is seeing its biggest sales increase since the oil crisis of the 1970s, said J ay Townley,【小题5】industry expert. People.... have panicked. Townley said. He【小题6】(compare) the sale of bicycles to the rush to buy products like toilet paper at the start of the pandemic.

The rise in bicycle sales is not happening just in the United States. Cities like Manila in the Philippines and Rome, Italy have created bicycle paths for the growing number of people【小题7】 want to avoid public transportation. In London, city 【小题8】(official) plan to ban cars from some central roads.

Bike shop owners in Manila say demand is even【小题9】(strong) than what they see at Christmas time. In Italy, the government's economic support plan included a 500-euro payment to help with the cost of a bicycle.

Of course, you can only buy a bicycle if you can find a bicycle. In the U. S. , the shortages now mean 【小题10】     may take many months to get one.

Screen time for children and teens is a battlefront that many parents know well. But one Chicago zoo says it’s a problem for a teenage gorilla (大猩猩), too. A 16-year-old, 415-pound gorilla named Amare is developing a(n) 【小题1】 (addict) to the smartphone screens held up by visitors at the Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago, Illinois, the zoo says. 【小题2】 growing number of people noticed that Amare 【小题3】 (enjoy) looking at photos and videos on their cell phones. As the visitors held up their screens, the gorilla spent more and more time 【小题4】 (approach) the glass to get a closer look.

Amare lives with three other teenage male gorillas. Once, he 【小题5】 (glue) to a screen when another gorilla charged to ward him and didn’t notice 【小题6】 had happened. Although Amare is fine after that normal show of aggression between young 【小题7】 (male), continued distraction could weaken Amare’s social standing in the group and result 【小题8】 severe developmental consequences.

Too much screen time among human teens has been tied to physical and mental health risks. The reasons to limit screen time for human and gorilla teens are not 【小题9】 (terrible) different. Now, staff members at the Lincoln Park Zoo have put up a rope line 【小题10】 (keep) visitors and their screens a bit farther away from the teenage gorilla.

In recent years, shared vegetable plots (地块) have been appearing in Shanghai’s suburban districts as more white-collar workers turn to farming to relax and escape the pressures of city life.

Among these individuals 【小题1】(be) Yang Rui, who, on weekends, drives his family from their home in downtown to the All-Happy City, 【小题2】 shared ecological farm in Minhang, where he has rented a 20-square-meter vegetable plot for 1,600 yuan per year. The family tends carrots, lettuce and other vegetables they have planted. When they aren’t around during the week, 【小题3】(professional) take over the work and perform whatever chores 【小题4】(need).

This farm has about 200 members, some of 【小题5】 even raise chickens and ducks that wander in the fields.

【小题6】(found) by Chen Yougui in October, the shared farm has an area of 13.33 hectares 【小题7】 comes with shared vegetable plots and leisure areas. According to Chen, the monitoring system 【小题8】(cover) the entire farmland allows members to view their vegetables and fields remotely through their phones. The farm also uses technology to ensure that the chickens and ducks raised 【小题9】 customers don’t go missing or end up in someone else’s plot — each animal comes with its own QR code.

Chen notes that many of his customers are parents who rent plots 【小题10】(primary) to teach their kids about science and nature and how farming works.
