Recent months have seen a return of bikes across China, with an increasing number of people 【小题1】(choose) cycling instead of driving to schools, to workplaces or to go sightseeing. The introduction of bike-sharing programs has brought the trend to a new level.

The bikes 【小题2】 (equip) with GPS and can be left anywhere in public for the next user. They’re popular among many Chinese people as they provide 【小题3】 effective solution in places 【小题4】 it’s difficult to change from one kind of transport to another. Bike-sharing is a 【小题5】 (green) method of transportation and 【小题6】(provide) a more friendly experience.

However, the programs have also led to problems such as 【小题7】 (legal) parking, deliberate damaging and theft. To deal with these problems, the company came up with the idea of encouraging people 【小题8】(return) the bikes to stations 【小题9】 rewarding free time for their next rides. Now, Chinese service operators are also trying to address the problem, too. For example, Mobike sets a 100-point credit score for each user, with points taken in case of bad 【小题10】 (behave). Once a score drops below 80, bike rental is increased to 100 yuan per 30 minutes, up from 0.5—1 yuan.

Asleep on a plane: a case for window seats

I love tosleep on planes, and I have an unusual ability to sleep well on them. There have even been one or two occasions 【小题1】 I have fallen asleep before takeoff and awakened upon the impact of landing, not having realized we had even left the ground. So when 【小题2】 (book) my flights, I always choose the window seat whenever possible. This allows me to lean my sleepy headagainst the wall of the plane for a bit 【小题3】 (much) comfort.

Some 【小题4】 argue that the aisle（走廊）seat is superior for the leg space and the ability to get off swiftly and eye the snack cart. But in reality, we’re all getting our drinks and snacks 【小题5】 few seconds. Also, I find that if a person knows he’s in a window seat, he’ll choose to use the bathroom before boarding so that he 【小题6】 (not need) to disturb his neighbor, which is just considerate. And he’ll seize the opportunity to get up when another seatmate gets up so that the seatmate needn’t 【小题7】(bother) more than once.

As a photographer and visually oriented person, the window seat gives me the best views of cottony clouds, or a great sunset, or golden sunrise, etc. Most of all, 【小题8】 I’ve been flying for years, I still get pleasure of seeing my departing city or country 【小题9】 (shrink) into the distance,and the butterflies in my stomach when I see the horizon of my destination come into view. And those feelings of adventure and excitement are 【小题10】keep me coming back , flight after flight, to my window seat.

Bike-to-Work Day is held every year across North America on the third Friday of May. It【小题1】(start) by the League of American Bicyclists in 1956. Its aim is【小题2】(promote) the bicycle as a serious choice of getting to and from work. In today’s world【小题3】global warming is a serious issue, the bicycle is a perfect way of reducing our carbon footprint. Cycling to work is a healthy alternative to【小题4】(drive) to work. A healthier society means there is not so much pressure on the country’s health system and cycling is also much【小题5】(kind) on your pocket than driving. Another benefit of cycling is that you may be more creative and full of energy once you get to work, which will improve your【小题6】(perform).

Bicycles are a very common form of transport in the world. There【小题7】(be) about one billion bicycles worldwide. That makes it the most popular invention ever. When we think of some countries, like China, we imagine a large number of people’s cycling everywhere. Even in high-tech Japan, 【小题8】is possible to see businessmen, farmers, mothers or workers in the streets on their bikes. We use bicycles today for recreation, fitness and so on.【小题9】the bicycle, much of the world might stop【小题10】(work)!
