People in Los Angeles are known for their love of cars. The city is very large, and its public transportation is slow. So people drive everywhere. But now, a group of bicyclists are trying to get people out of their cars and on bikes.
Devon Fitzgerald says he has to be careful when he rides his bike in the streets. “A lot of people are in a rush, and it's very difficult to keep careful, for they would rather care for their speed than your safety.” Although riding a bike to work can be dangerous, he prefers it to a car. “It's much simpler than driving a car. For example, I don't have to worry about parking.”
Roger Rosas drives to work. "You always have to make sure you look to the other side because someone would rush across by bike. Or you can easily get into an accident. "
To make bicycling safer, some people who live and work near each other are riding to work together, which they call a "bike train". Nona Varnado helped create the group L. A. Bike Trains. "You're in a big group. If you're afraid of riding alone, you can now ride with experienced riders. " Nona said that people would feel safer by riding together in a group.

We often face the following situations in our daily life:
? The woman next door plays her piano after 12 o’clock at night.
? The family across the street never cleans up their yard. The rubbish blows into your yard.
? The man next door always parks his car in front of your drive.
Have things like this ever happened to you? If so, you may ask yourself, “Who are these people? Why are they doing these things to me?”
These days, many people don’t know their neighbors. Sometimes we share a friendly smile or say hello, but lots of people don’t even know their neighbor’s names! When you don’t know someone, it’s easy to be angry when something has happened that you think is unfair. You think, “Maybe they like to make me angry, “or “Maybe they do it on purpose.” Believe it or not, your neighbors probably don’t mean to irritate(激怒)you. Often, they don’t even know that they’re making you feel angry. So before you take unusual steps to fix the problem, you should discuss it with them first.
When you move towards your neighbors, you should talk to them in a friendly manner. Praise their children to make them feel good. Then explain the situation. And if you can think of a simple way to solve the problem, suggest it.
If talking doesn’t work, ask another person to help. This person can listen to both sides of the story and help you and your neighbor solve the situation.
Finally, sometimes it’s a good idea to avoid the problem. Depending on the problem, it might be best to just stay out of your neighbor’s way.
1.What’s the writer’s purpose of writing paragraphs 1&2?
A. To ask some questions. B. To lead in the subjects.
C. To list some situations D. To tell some stories.
2.You should talk about the problem with your neighbors first because ________.
A. they often say hello or smile to you
B. you do not know what they are called
C. they probably don’t plan to make you unhappy
D. they will take unusual steps to solve the problem
3.When talking with your neighbors, you can make them have a good feeling by _______.
A. praising their children B. explaining the problem
C. shaking hands with them D. making friends with them
4.The best way to solve the problem sometimes is to ________.
A. ask another person for help B. turn a blind eye to it.
C. tell the story to your friend D. let your neighbor get out of the way
5.What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. Ways to deal with neighbors
B. Problems caused by neighbors
C. Situations we may face every day
D. Reasons why we become angry at neighbors

Last summer I went to one of the world's most famous historical places, the Forbidden City in Beijng, China. It was the home of the emperors of the last two dynasties (朝代) in China, the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
The Forbidden City was built in 1420. The palace has over 10,000 rooms. It was where the emperors dealt with the official business with their ministers.
In Mandarin, The Forbidden City is called the Purple Forbidden City. However, the color of the palace itself is not purple. The color purple stands for power of the great emperors of China. It was so sacred(神圣的) that the commoners could not even dream of ever going in.
The emperors also had some of the largest festival celebrations at the Forbidden City. During Chinese New Year, the emperor would invite all the members of his family and his officials to a banquet. The banquet had a hundred and eight Chinese dishes. It was such an expensive banquet that it could feed a commoner's family for three generations(代).
Right now The Forbidden City is known as a historical site for tourists from all over the world. Everyone can go in there. It is a museum with priceless Chinese antiques (古董) and treasures in it.
I really learned a lot about the Chinese culture and its history from this trip to The Forbidden City. It was like a dream come true to go on the trip and see the things that I have always wanted to see.
1.How long is the history of the Forbidden City?
A. About 600 years. B. More than 600 years.
C. 1,420 years. D. Over 10,000 years.
2.We call the palace the Purple Forbidden City because the color purple is the symbol for ____ of the emperor.
A. power B. fame C. wealth D. health
3.What's the Chinese meaning of the underlined word “banquet” in Paragraph 4?
A. 表演 B. 比赛 C. 展览 D. 宴会

任务型阅读
A speaker was giving a speech to his student on what to do with stress(压力). He held up a glass of water and asked the students, “How heavy do you think this glass of water is?” The students’answers were different,from 20g to 500g.
“It does not matter on the exact weight. It depends on(取决于) how long you hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it is OK. If I hold it for an hour, I will have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you will send me to the hospital. It is the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.”
“If we carry our burdens(负担) all the time, we will not be able to carry on, because the burden is becoming heavier and heavier. What you have to do is to put the glass down, have a rest for a while and hold it up again.”
We have to put down the burden sometimes, so that we can cheer up and are able to carry on. So before you return home from work tonight, put the burden of work down. Don’t carry it back home. You can pick it up tomorrow.
Whatever burdens you are having now on your shoulders, let it down for a moment .
