Normal bicycle safety guides usually tell you to wear you helmet(头盔) and to obey the law in order to avoid being hit on a bike. Is this advice really helpful?

Consider this for a moment: Wearing a helmet will absolutely do nothing to prevent you from getting hit by a car. Surely, a helmet might help you if you get hit, but you No.1 goal should be to avoid getting hit. Plenty of cyclists were killed by cars__________. However, if they had ridden without helmets, yet followed the guidelines listed below, they might still be alive today. So they saying that wearing a helmet is the first and last word in bike safety is, to some degree(在一定程度上), wrong.

The most common bike safety advice is “follow the law”. Ridiculously, most people are already aware that it’s stupid to race through a red light at a crossroads. As a result, it’s clear that the “follow the law” advice isn’t that helpful, either. In addition, following the law is not enough to keep you safe. Here’s an example: The law tells you to ride on the right, but if you ride too far to the right, someone started a parked car could open their door right in front of you and motorists pulling out of driveways and parking lots will be less visible. In that case you were following the law, but could still have been hit.

Then what should we remember in order to keep safe when riding a bike? I will tell you about it in the following paragraph.

The need for love is deeply rooted in the human psyche（精神，心灵）．Love is a way of overcoming the feeling of human separateness．Separateness, according to psychologists, means to be cut off, helpless and alone in the world．It is the source of all anxiety．

                   ．It can be selfish and possessive, or unselfish and giving．Abraham Maslow distinguishes between two kinds of love: B-love and D-love．B-love or “being-love” means love for another person: an unselfish love not dependent upon your own needs．D-love or “deficiency-love” is a selfish possessive love which is based upon someone else’s ability to satisfy your needs．

D-love is conditional: it depends upon whether personal needs continue to be met…．But B-love is unconditional: it depends not upon what you do, but upon who

you are．Furthermore, as it depends on who you are, it is possible only when you allow yourself to be known to the other person．

The psychologist Erich Fromm also distinguishes between two types of love, namely, immature love, called by him symbiotic union（共生体）, and mature love．Symbiotic union is an immature love based upon the satisfaction of needs and is similar to Maslow’s concept of D-love．

Mature love, on the other hand, is a relationship that allows individuals to retain （保持） their independence, their identity, and their integrity．In mature love people can overcome their sense of separateness yet continue to be themselves．The immature lover would say, “I love you because I need you．” the mature one: “I need you because I love you．”

5．Translate the underlined sentence in the third paragraph into Chinese．

You know you have to read “between the lines” to get the most out of anything. I want to persuade you to do something equally important in the course of your reading. I want to persuade you to “write between the lines.” Unless you do, you are not likely to do the most efficient kind of reading.

There are two ways you can own a book. The first is the property right you establish by paying for it, just as you pay for clothes and furniture. But this act of purchase is only the prelude(前奏) to possession. Full ownership comes only when you have made it a part of yourself, and the best way to make yourself a part of it is by writing in it.

Why is marking up a book necessary while reading it? First, it keeps you wide awake. In the second place, reading, if it is active, is thinking, and thinking tends to express itself in words, spoken or written. The marked book is usually the thought-through book. Finally, writing helps you remember the thoughts you had, or the thoughts the author expressed

If reading is to accomplish anything more than passing time, it must be active. You can’t let your eyes glide(滑动) across the lines of a book and come up with an understanding of what you have read. The book you read for pleasure can be read in a state of relaxation, and nothing is lost. But a great book, rich in ideas and beauty, a book that raises and tries to answer great fundamental questions, demands the most active reading which you are able to do. If, when you have finished reading a book, the pages are                  your notes, you know that you read actively.

1．Which sentence in the passage is the closest in meaning to the following one? If you “write between the lines” while reading, you probably read actively and efficiently.

2．What is owing a book in its true sense according to the author? (Please answer within 10 words.)

3．List at least two reasons of marking up a book necessary while reading it. (Please answer within 30 words.)

4．Translate the underlined sentence in the last paragraph into Chinese.

5．Fill in the blanks in the last sentence with proper words. (Please answer within 10 words)

[1]China will change the world as much as the world changes China, if the country continues its opening up.

[2]How could it not? The rest of the world cannot remain unaffected by the culture of one-fifth of humanity. As China strengthens its economy, allows its citizens more overseas travel and participates in global efforts, the West surely will learn more about Chinese ways.

[3]And once it does, its people might choose to adot some of them.

[4]It might surprise Chinese that Westerners             . When I announced my Beijing job to American friends, family and neighbors, they were very curious and mostly uninformed about China．

[5] Our media carries little news about China except during unusual circumstances, which typically are times of stress between the two countries．We hear about arguments with China over climate change, Taiwan and Tibet, but that doesn' t tell average Americans anything about average Chinese．

       [6]Most American- don't know that Chinese weddings feature firecrackers; that Chinese parents make extraordinary sacrifices for their children; that Chinese diners eat off plates smaller than any on a Western table; that favorite Chinese drinks include hot soy milk and the potent white-grain alcohol, baijiu; and that elderly Chinese sometimes walk down streets backwards to keep their balancing skills sharp．

[7]Westemers will learn as they and the Chinese increasingly mingle（接触）．As they do there' s no telling which Chirac customs will take root in foreiffl soil．but some of them surely will．

[8] Maybe we' 11 see baijiu and green tea served at baseball stadiums along with beer and soda pop．That wouldn' t make the game any less American．

[9] Meanwhile, I hope China continues to take in what the world has to offer and transform it into something typically Chinese．To think that exposure to Western ways weakens China, instead of strengthens it, assumes the country' s culture is fragile．That' s a surprising attitude for any Chinese to take．

What does the passage mainly tell us? (within 10 words)

Fill in the blank in Paragraph 4 with proper words. (within 6 words)

What an attitude should we Chinese take towards Western culture according to the author? (within 20 words)

Which sentence in the text is the closest in meaning to the following one?

In that case, some of the Chinese way of life will, possibly, be accepted by the westerners.

Translate the underlined sentence in Paragraph 7 into Chinese.
