About three decades ago, China was known as the “Bicycle Kingdom”. But the two-wheeled way of transport’s popularity began to fade, with many bikes soon replaced by their fuel-powered competitors.
But recent months have seen a revival of the bike across China, with an increasing number of people choosing cycling instead of driving to schools, to workplances or to do sightseeing. The introduction of bike-sharing systems has brought the trend to a new level.
People can unlock the shared bikes by simply using their smartphones. The bikes are equipped with GPS and can be left anywhere in public for the next user. They’re popular among many Chinese people as they provide an effective solution to the “last mile” problem, which refers to the final leg of a person’s journey.
However, the systems have also led to problems such as illegal parking, damage and theft. Last month, two nurses in Beijing were placed under arest for five days for putting locks on two shared bikes.
“Bike-sharing is a greener method of transportation and provides a user-friendly experience,” said Liu Xiaoming, vice-minister of transport. “ But it’s a combination of online and offline business. Operators are usually strong in online services, but lack offline business experience, which causes problems.”
Now, Chinese service operators are trying to handle these problems. For example, a bike-sharing company called Mobike sets a 100-piont credit score for each user, with points taken in the case of bad behavior. Once a score drops below 80, bike rental is increased to 100 yuan per 30 minutes, up from 0.5-1 yuan.
1.The underlined word “revival” in paragraph 2 probably means .
A. survival B. recovery
C. existence D. popularity
2.The bike-sharing systems are popular because .
A. they are very effective B. they can be picked up anywhere
C. they are equipped with GPS D. they help to solve the “last mile” problem
3.To solve the problems of illegal parking, damage and theft, operators need to .
A. offer stronger online services B. combine online and offline business
C. provide credit score for users D. obtain more offline business experience

My experience at the begin of my high school life has taught me a good lesson. During that period, it never occurred to me that I was going to be or what kind of life I’d like to live. I always waste my time chatting online and play computer games. It was my poor grades in the mid-term exams and my head teacher’s inspiration that made me realized the importance of set a goal. From then on, I made my mind to get admitted into a famous university and devote me to some research work. Guided by my dream, I found myself making a great progress.

The Beagle Brigade
Return to the United States from a trip abroad, and your luggage will get inspected by the U. S. Department of Agriculture’s Beagle Brigade. Working with human canine officer partners, the beagles sniff out potential threats to American agriculture.
An orange or apple, for example, might harbor a Mediterranean fruit fly. Hams could carry a disease such as hog cholera. These and other pests could destroy farmer’s crops and livestock. “Once we introduce something that is not part of the environment, there may riot be any controls for it in the environment,” notes USDA’s Lisa Davis at the National Dog Detector Training Center in Orlando, Florida. “The best thing for us to do is to prevent it from coming across the border and becoming established. ’’
When a beagle sniffs specific food odors, it signals its partners by sitting. The human officer then investigates. When the dog is right—which happens 90 percent of the time——it gets an edible treat.
“The dog is not out there working,” explains Davis. “It’s out there playing. It’s a game to the dog.” The handlers give the beagles plenty of food and loving. They make sure they get first-class medical attention, too. When the dogs finally retire after 9 to 11 years, the USDA finds caring homes for them. It’s a dog’s life indeed!
How well does the Beagle Brigade do its job? “On average,” notes Davis, “each year our 54 teams prevent around 75,000 prohibited, restricted items.” Since even one infested (為患的) item could cause widespread destruction, that’s a great result for America’s agricultural environment.
1.According to the article, what is a problem with agricultural products brought into the United States by passengers traveling from abroad?
A. They generate similar types of food odors.
B. They are difficult to identify, even with trained dogs.
C. They must be inspected before being allowed to enter the country.
D. They may carry something that could harm the agricultural environment.
2.According to the article, how does the beagle signal that it has found a suspicious food product?
A. By barking at its partner. B. By begging for a treat.
C. By sitting next to the item. D. By playing a game.
3.How is the beagle congratulated for finding a specific food product?
A. The handler praises it with a hug.
B. The beagle gets to play for a few hours.
C. The beagle gets to retire to a caring home.
D. The handler gives it an edible reward.
4.In the article, the author supports the use of the Beagle Brigade by .
A. providing statistics about the number of items detected by the dogs
B. showing that the dogs enjoy discovering prohibited items
C. pointing out that good homes are found for the dogs when they retire
D. praising the fact that the dogs work for a government agency
