San Francisco is going to do what many other cities have already done—provide free bicycles to the public. The mayor of San Francisco supports the bicycle program. He wants to improve the terrible traffic problems in the city.
At first, 40 to 60 bikes will be available only to city workers. People will give their old bikes to the city to use in the program. If this program is successful, one day more than 1000 bicycles will be available. Everyone, not just city workers, will be able to use these bicycles.
People in Fresno, California already have a free bicycle program. In fact, this idea began in Amsterdam over 40 years ago. These programs encourage citizens to get out of their cars and use free bikes.
Fresno’s Yellow Bike Program puts about forty bicycles around the city. The bikes are painted bright yellow so people know they can take them. When people take a yellow bike, they can ride to work or to shopping areas, and then leave the bike for the next rider.
Some people worry that the free bikes will be stolen. However, theft hasn’t been a problem in free-bike cities by now.
While most people think the bike program is a good idea, only a few say they will use it. “I will still drive my car,” says Joanna Green. “San Francisco has a lot of hills. My office is at the top of Potrero Hill. I don’t think I’m in good shape. And, wouldn’t I have to carry a helmet with me all the time? ”
Phil Chung agrees, “There is too much traffic. Riding a bicycle can be dangerous. There are not very many bike lanes.” He continues, “Plus, it’s too cold in the winter. And what if you ride a bike to work, and then there isn’t one to ride home? ”
Program leaders know there will be problems. But they think it’s worth trying. “It’s not the solution for everyone,” states Sylvia Pass. “But if just one hundred people use it every day, that’s one hundred cars that aren’t on the streets, one hundred parking spaces that aren’t used. I think it’s a great beginning. ”
4. Why does San Francisco provide bicycles to the public?
A. Because there are many bikes available.
B. Because the citizens don’t have cars of their own.
C. Because other cities have not done so.
D. Because the traffic problems are terrible.
5. The underlined words “in good shape” mean “______”.
A. beautiful B. healthy and strong C. tall enough D. fat and small
C
SOMETIMES we make friends with unexpected people. For example, who would have thought that a spider would make friends with a pig? But in E. B. White's classic novel "Charlotte's Web", this is exactly what happens.
The pair will appear in a movie at the end of this year.
In the story, Wilbur is an ill-fated (倒霉的) pig. When he is born, he is so small that the farmer decides to end the pig's life. Fortunately, the farmer's daughter stops him from killing Wilbur and volunteers to raise the pig in a barnyard (谷仓前的空地) .
Wilbur grows day by day and makes many friends in the barnyard, including the spider, Charlotte. However, one day a sheep tells Wilbur that he will be served up as dinner. But, Charlotte is determined to save her friend from this danger. By making words such as "famous pig" in her web, she persuades the farmer that Wilbur is some sort of supernatural (神奇的) animal, too important to kill. After Wilbur is saved, Charlotte is so tired that she finally dies.
Unusually, the author makes a spider the heroine (女英雄) of the book. Spiders are normally creatures many people regard with fear. Charlotte does everything in her power to keep Wilbur alive. It shows how a strong friendship can last through the worst possible times.
Who would you like to make friends with if you could?
