    　　City officials in South Jakarta must now cycle when performing their duties．in a move to help combat pollution and global warming．“They can own a car and drive to work, but they must cycle when traveling to do their work”, South Jakarta city spokesman Ahmad Sotar said,“This is compulsory．Cycling will not only reduce pollution and global warming, but also promote good health．”He added,“The official can also get to know their residents better since now they can cycle through the narrow alleyways to reach their home．They can’t do so if they drive”．

    　　South Jakarta, the second－largest of five cities making up greater Jakarta , covers an area of 145 square kilometers and has 2.5 million residents．Over 200 officials in 10 sub-districts and 65 villages have been told about the new rule．Supporting the move, Meruyuny Village chief Selamat Aryadi said cycling would keep officials fit．“I don’t mind buying a bike．But there must be some exceptions．What will happen if there is a big fire or landslide which I need to attend urgently?I may be late for everything,”he said with a quiet laugh．“I think if it is raining heavily it makes more sense for me to drive．I just hope 1 won’t get caught,”he added．

    　　Sotar said the officials do not have to cycle to attend to emergency calls．“But it is no excuse to say they are too old and sick to cycle．That means they are also too old and sick to perform their duties so they should be replaced,”he said：“We will ask the residents to be our eyes and ears and tell us if the officials cycle or drive．”Sotar said．

    　　Ben

    　　When I left school five years ago, I said to myself, “that's that! No more learning for me. Now I can enjoy myself in the evening.” But about a year ago the boss said, “We're going to get a computer in the near future.” What does he mean? I simply don't know. Anyway, I decided to go to evening classes. I'm quite an expert on computers now and, you know, I actually enjoy studying.

    　　Evn

    　　I haven't much interest in studying. To be honest, I don't like reading very much, except for magazines and that sort of thing. Just light reading, that is, to pass the time. But I do enjoy TV. Not that I watch everything. In fact, I choose my programmes very carefully. I'm particularly interested in current affairs. In some ways I think I learn more this way than I did at school.

    　　Ted

    　　I'm a very sort of person - I simply love doing things. That's why I enjoy sports so much. I mean, actually playing. I hardly ever watch it on TV, but I do read quite a bit about it. I'm even interested in the history of sports. I don't have much time for anything else, except that I quite like dancing. Some people say I'm not very good at it, though.

    　　Joan

    　　I should say I have great interest in studying. I'd rather do this than anything e1se. Since I left school, I've taken courses in all sorts of things. I go to the city library once a week, but I much prefer evening classes because it's more fun that way. My latest “craze(狂热)” - if you can call it that - is foreign languages. I'm learning two, not one!

    1．These four people are talking about what they do ________.

    [　　]

    A．in their free time

    The Sleeping City

    沉睡的城市

        由地下岩浆喷出地面而堆积的山叫火山。经常喷发的叫做活火山；喷发后不再喷发的叫死火山。2 000多年以前，意大利Pompeii市附近一座沉睡了几百年的“死”火山突然喷发，整座城市笼罩在恐怖之中。要知 Pompeii市的命运如何，请看下文。

        Every year thousands of tourists visit Pompeii，Italy．They see the sights that Pompeii is famous for such as its stadium and theatres，its shops and restaurants．The tourists do not，however，see Pompeii’s people．They do not see them because Pompeii has no people．No one has lived in Pompeii for almost 2 000 years．

        Once，Pompeii was a busy city of 22 000 people．It lay at the foot of Mount Vesuvius, a grass-covered volcano．Mount Vesuvius had not erupted for centuries，so the people of Pompeii felt safe．But they were not．

        In August of A．D 79，Mount Vesuvius erupted．The entire top of the mountain exploded，and a huge black cloud rose into the air．Soon stones and hot ash began to fall on Pompeii．When the eruption ended two days later, Pompeii was buried under 20 feet of stones and ashes．Almost all of its people were dead．

        For centuries, Pompeii lay buried under stones and ashes. Then, in the year 1861, an Italian scientist named Ginseppe began to uncover Pompeii．Slowly，carefully，Ginseppe and his men dug．The city looked almost the same as it had looked in A．D．79．There were streets and fountains，houses and shops．There was a stadium with 20 000 seats．Perhaps the most important of all，there were everyday objects，which tell us a great deal about the people who 1ived in Pompeii．Many glasses and jars had some dark blue color in the bottom，so we know that the people of Pompeii liked wine．They liked bread too，metal bread pans were in every bakery．In one bakery there were 81 round，flat loaves of bread-a type of bread that is still sold in Italy today．Tiny boxes filled with dark，shiny powder tell us that women liked to wear eye-makeup．

    Ginseppe has died，but his work continues．One-fourth has not been uncovered yet．Scientists are still digging，still making discoveries that draw the tourists to Pompeii.

    　　Like many people you may be dreaming of a career as a rock and roll star．There are two ways to go about getting one．First there is the traditional(传统的)way．Find some friends and form a group．Learn to play the guitar or the drums．Write your own songs．Spend hours arguing about the band name．then go out on the road．

    　　The next step is to spend a year or two touring．If you are any good, the crowds will get bigger．In the end an artist from a record(唱片)company may come to a show．If he or she likes you, there may be a deal(交易)．This is the path traditionally followed by bands in the music industry．Success means fame and wealth．And failure gives you some interesting stories to tell your children．

    　　Over the last few years a different path to success has become known．Boy bands like Boyzone and girl bands like Spice Girls don't come together on their own．They are created by managers and record companies．Their image(形象)is strictly controlled．Professional(专业)song writers usually write their music．This is a convenient arrangement(安排)and the public seems to love the result．

    　　Though boy and girl bands have become very popular recently, there is a long tradition of making music in this way．In the early 1960's an American businessman called Berry Gordy founded Motown Records．Motown is short for “motor town”．The record company was based in the city of Detroit, where thousands of African-Americans had moved to work in the car industry．They brought with them a cultural tradition of writing and performing music．This style later became known as “soul music”．Berry Gordy was a diamond miner．Motown stars were not just given songs to sing．They were also taught how to dress well and speak properly．
