Most heroes are not super. They don't appear in comic books, on television, or in movies. They just do what they believe needs to be done to make their world a better place. Bike Batman is one of them.
Bike Batman is a 30-year-old married engineer who lives in Seattle, Washington. He's a cyclist who also buys and sells bikes as a hobby.
About three years ago, he was looking for a bike for his wife. He found one on Craigslist, a website where people list things they want to sell. As he often does, he also looked on Bike Index, a popular website that allows users to register (登记) their bikes and post reports when they're stolen. The bike, which he was considering purchasing, clearly matched the one reported stolen on Bike Index. Then he called the person who claimed to be the bike's owner and arranged to meet him — supposedly to complete the sale. When the two men met, Bike Batman told the thief, "You've got two options. You can wait until a police officer gets here, or you can just get out of here." You can imagine what the thief did.
After that first success, Bike Batman developed a safer routine. When he sees questionable bike ads on Craigslist, he compares the images with bikes reported on Bike Index. Once he confirms the bike with the owner, he will arrange a meet-up with the thief and will call the Seattle police department so that officers can participate in the action. In more than half of the 22 cases in which he has got back and returned bikes, the thieves have been arrested. In one case, Bike Batman even helped a family recover a wide range of prized possessions that suspects had stolen during a home burglary.
His nickname came from a discussion with a police officer who suggested he be called "Robin Hood". Since he wasn't exactly stealing from the rich and giving to the poor, "Batman" seemed a better fit. The idea of a superhero punishing criminals feels pretty silly to him, but the main reason he continues his work is to keep up Seattle's reputation as a friendly city.

C. call the police department D. arrange to meet the thief
3. Bike Batman helps find the lost bikes

三、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Mike licked(舔) the last of the chocolate ice cream. It was almost time to leave. He jumped into the car with his parents and headed off to the Olympic-sized pool for the big swim meet. When his race came up, Mike was confident. He was strong and swift. Mike climbed out of the pool, smiling. He had just won first place.
A week later, it was time for another swim meet. Like before, Mike decided to enjoy his favorite flavored ice cream before they left home. As Mike climbed out of the pool, his teammates patted(拍) him on the back. He'd taken first place again in his race.
As it turned out, Mike decided to have some chocolate ice cream before every one of the next few swim meets that came up. He began to think of it as his lucky charm. After several months of being placed in the top positions of every race he swam, Mike was feeling unbeatable. And he wouldn't admit it, but he was also starting to feel a little uncomfortable. All that ice cream was adding a few pounds to his athletic swimmer's build.
It didn't take long after that for Mike to start coming in second place...and then third place and then last place in his races. The lucky chocolate ice cream had lost its magic. On the day of his next swim meet, his mother sat down at the table with him. "Mike, I think we need to talk about this. We all love ice cream, but it's got lots of fat and sugar in it, and it's not healthy for your body to take in so much of it." Mike unwillingly agreed. His father offered to go running with him a few days a week to help enhance his muscles. The extra weight soon disappeared, and Mike found himself breathing more easily during the swim.
It was the last meet of the season, and Mike wasn't sure what to expect. He felt healthy again, but he didn't know if he still had the excellent speed in the pool.

答案:
Paragraph 1:
As he dived into the water, he kicked his legs and stretched his arms as far as he could. Whenever he came up for a breath, he could see he was gaining on the boy ahead of him in the next lane. Feeling determined to overtake him, Mike found the power in his muscles he needed to swim ahead, and as his hand touched the edge of the pool, the race was over. He lifted his swim glasses off his head and looked at the electronic board. He knew he wasn't the last, but what was his time
Paragraph 2:
His jaw(下巴) dropped as he realized he had beaten his own best time, and everyone else's too. Mike had won his race, and he had also qualified for the national championship. The audience and his teammates cheered loudly, and his parents were laughing from ear to ear. "Hey son, let's go and have some of your favorite ice cream and celebrate!" said his father. "Thanks, Dad, but I'll pass on the ice cream; it's not such a lucky charm after all!"
