With nations preparing to spend billions to redesign their cities with a new focus on cycling,it’s worth remembering how the invention of the bicycle changed societies all over the world.
The person generally credited with inventing the modern bicycle was an Englishman named John Kemp Starley.In 1885,the 30-year-old inventor began experimenting in his workshop with a chain-driven bicycle featuring two much smaller wheels.When it first appeared at a bicycle show in 1886,his invention was regarded as a curiosity.But two years later,when the next model was paired with the newly invented rubber tire—which not only cushioned the ride but also made the new bicycle about 30 percent faster—the result was magic.
For a few years in the 1890s,almost anyone wanted to learn to ride,and almost everyone did.The king of Zanzibar took up cycling.So did the emperor of Russia.But it was the middle and working classes around the globe that truly made the bicycle their own.For the first time in history,the masses were able to come and go as they pleased.No more need for expensive horses and carriages.
The rocketing demand led hundreds of new companies around the world to offer their own versions.At the Stanley Bicycle Show in London in 1895,about 200 bicycle makers exhibited 3,000 models.One of the biggest makers was Columbia Bicycles,whose factory in Hartford,Connecticut,could turn out a bicycle a minute thanks to its automated assembly line(流水线)—a pioneering technology that one day would become the backbone of the automobile industry.By 1898,a third of all patent applications in the US were bicycle-related.
The bicycle even improved the human gene pool.Newly liberated young people rode around the countryside at will,meeting up in distant villages.Women were especially enthusiastic.They abandoned their troublesome skirts and took to the road in groups.Marriage records in England show a marked rise in inter-village marriages during the bicycle craze of the 1890s.

Microplastics are “one of the greatest man-made disasters of our time”,according to the Natural History Museum.That’s bad news,given they are also everywhere:in tap water,the food you buy,the clothes you wear and the air you breathe.
The largest microplastics can be seen by the naked eye and are anything under half a centimetre in size.But many of them are small enough to act like spots of dust which we can unconsciously breathe in or eat in food.The smallest particles are called nanoplastics and they are small enough to get their way deep into the human body.
New findings from the University of Portsmouth show that there is so much synthetic material in our homes that we might be breathing in up to 7,000 microplastic particles a day.Using special equipment,researchers measured a typical family home and found the highest concentration of it was in the bedroom of the eight-year-old daughter,whose room was decorated with plastic-based bedding,carpet and soft toys.
Although research is in its early stage,the risks of these plastics could be serious—some studies have linked high exposure to cancer risk and disrupting our hormones.In animal studies,the particles have been shown to affect metabolism,gut bacteria and the immune system,among other things.
It is not yet known what a healthy level of microplastics might look like,but Dr Sabine Donnai,CEO of the Viavi clinic,thinks that many people in the West are over the limit.In tests at her clinic,patients often come back with dangerously high levels of plastic in their bodies,she says.
5.What does paragraph 2 talk about
A.The seriousness of microplastics.
B.The size of microplastics.
C.The solution to microplastics.
D.The effect of microplastics.
6.How did researchers determine the amount of microplastics of a home
A.With technical equipment.
B.By referring to previous data.
C.Through experiments.
D.By observing environment.
7.What does the underlined word “disrupting” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A.Deciding. B.Disturbing.
C.Discovering. D.Defending.
8.What would be a suitable title for the text
A.New study found microplastics
B.Microplastics are found in clothes
C.Microplastics are threatening our life
D.We breathe in microplastics every day

Meta has launched its first pair of smart glasses,which house speakers and cameras,built with eyewear firm Ray-Ban.The glasses,which are available in a range of colours and styles,are priced at £299 and will be available from September 13.
Called Ray-Ban Stories,the glasses feature two five-megapixel cameras to take photos and videos,as well as built-in microphones and speakers enabling users to make calls and listen to audio.The glasses also come with built-in LED lights to let people nearby know when the wearer is taking a photo or video and pair with the new Meta View app,which enables users to share content from the glasses to their social media accounts.
Announcing the new hardware,Meta acknowledged that privacy was a key issue it had looked to address when creating the new device.“As with any new device,we have a big responsibility to help people feel comfortable and provide peace of mind,and that goes not only for device owners but the people around them,too,” the social network said in a blog post.
Meta said it would also offer guidance to users on how to safely use the glasses with regard to others.“We’ve developed guidelines for what is and isn’t an appropriate use of the glasses,some of which are surfaced right in the app during on boarding,and which are available in full online on our dedicated privacy microsite for Ray-Ban Stories.”
“These tips include respecting people’s preferences if they ask you to stop recording or don’t want to be in a photo or video,not capturing photos and videos while driving,and turning off the glasses in private areas like places of worship,a doctor’s office,or locker rooms.”
9.Which of the following statements is true according to the text
A.The smart glasses are made by Meta independently.
B.The glasses have more than two five-megapixel cameras.
C.Users can share content from the glasses with their friends.
D.The build-in LED lights help take better pictures.
10.What can be inferred from the text
A.The glasses will be a hit with Meta users.
B.People can buy the glasses at the start of September.
C.The tips on safe use of the glasses are not free.
D.Some people may feel uneasy when being caught on camera.
11.What is Meta’s attitude to the issue of privacy
A.Serious. B.Indifferent.
C.Negative. D.Objective.
12.What is the best title for the text
A.Safety Guidelines for Glasses Users
B.Meta’s Release of Smart Glasses
C.Privacy Related to New Technology
D.Users’ Feedback on Smart Glasses
