E-bikes are becoming more and more popular in China. They are easy to ride and good
for the environment. But are e-bikes safe for riders
Many e-bikes can go as fast as 40 km/h, which is faster than some cars. Some riders don’ t wear helmets (头盔) or follow traffic rules. They ride on the wrong side of the road or run
red lights, which causes many accidents.
To solve the problem, the government has made new rules for e-bikes. For example,
e-bikes must have a maximum speed of 25 km/h. Riders must wear helmets and get a license
for their e-bikes. These rules help make e-bike riding safer.
However, some people think the rules are too strict. They say that e-bikes are convenient
for short trips, and the rules may make them less useful. But most people agree that safety is
more important than convenience.

A. They are too slow. B. They cause accidents.

Nowadays, many people like to watch short videos on apps like TikTok. These videos
are usually 15 to 60 seconds long and cover many topics, such as music, comedy, and life tips.
Short videos are popular for several reasons. First, they are easy to watch and don’t need
much time. People can watch them during breaks or on the way to work. Second, they are
creative. Many users make their own videos to show their talents or share their lives. Third, the apps use algorithms (算法) to recommend videos that users might like, making it easy for
people to find interesting content.
However, short videos also have some problems. Some videos have bad or false
information. Some people spend too much time watching them, which affects their study or
work. Moreover, watching short videos for a long time may hurt people’s eyes.
In my opinion, short videos are a fun way to relax, but we should use them properly. We
can choose useful and positive videos and not spend too much time on them.
1. Why does the writer mention TikTok in Paragraph 1
A. To introduce a popular app. B. To ask people to download it.

Some students like the policy. They used to have too much homework and no time to
play or exercise. Now they can spend more time on hobbies or sports. They also get more
sleep and feel less stressed.

better grades.

important for them to study hard. Parents can help their children make a study plan to balance
study and rest.
