Shanghai is one of the first cities in China to see bike sharing fever. Shared bikes can now be found all over the city. (1) On streets, we can often see riders of your age. Some might even be younger than you. Unluckily, there have been some accidents involving (涉及)shared bikes. (2)
One of the most serious accidents took place in March. One Sunday afternoon, a boy was riding an ofo bike(共享单车). He was hit by a bus and later died. The boy' s parents were not by his side. (3) He was only about 10 years old.
The good news is that Shanghai has been trying to manage bike sharing by making rules. The rules are still being discussed, but some of the rules have been decided on. (4) Users must be between 1.45 and 1.95 meters tall.
However, it could be hard to make these rules work. Ou Jing is ofo's manager in Shanghai. He said the company had banned (禁止)children under 12 from using its service. Yet, young children can still be seen riding ofo bikes. That's because many ofo bikes use manual (手动的)locks. (5) Ofo has developed electronic locks. However, it will take some time for the company to fix the new locks on all of its bikes.
Most of you are old enough to ride a shared bike. Still, please ride slowly for your own safety. When you finish using the bike, don' t forget to park and lock it properly﹣﹣for everybody's safety.
根据短文内容,从方框中选出五个句子填入文中空缺处,使短文内容通顺完整.
A. If a user doesn't lock the bike properly after using it, anyone can ride it away. B. In fact, they are popular not only among adults but also among teens. C. All of the children under 12 have stopped riding ofo bikes. D. Besides, the boy was considered too young to ride a bike. E. For example, only people aged between 12 and 70 can ride shared bikes. F. These accidents warn us that shared bikes are not for everybody. |

Where does your food come from?How is it made?These days,many people worry about food safety.But food safety is not a new worry.In 1906,Upton Sinclair wrote the Jungle.The book is the story of a poor family in Chicago.It is also about the dangerous ways that food was prepared.People were so worried that the U.S.started testing food.
These days,most food in the world is safe.Laws control where food comes from.They also control how food is managed and prepared.Laws are important. But it's more important to make sure the rules are followed.A good food safety system(系统)keeps people safe.It also helps them eat healthy food.Labels(标签)on food give people important information.Then they can make good choices about their food.
Although food safety systems usually work,there can be problems.Sometimes mistakes are made.For example,a truck might carry eggs and then ice cream.The ice cream could make people sick when the truck isn't cleaned before carrying it.Other problems are not mistakes.Sometimes companies break rules to make more money.When this happens,people don't know if their food is safe.
As we all know,food is closely related to our daily life.We should take actions to make food safer!

Most families love to go on holiday together. It is great fun to leave your common life behind and go somewhere different and exciting!
(1) Some people enjoy traveling around cities and visiting museums. Other people prefer outdoor holidays, where you can hike or go boating. Some people like cruises, where the huge ship is like a hotel.
Many families go on holiday in summer, when schools are closed. (2) In the past, most British families would take their holidays at a British seaside town. However, now many people choose to go abroad instead. One reason for this is to escape(躲藏) the possibility of rain at home! France, Spain and Greece are popular destinations(目的地).
In the United States, summer holidays often involve a road trip. (3) It is common to drive hundreds of miles to get to your destination. If the beach is too far away, you could go to one of the national parks. Many people love to enjoy the natural beauty of places such as Yellowstone or the Grand Canyon.
(4) In winter, many people go skiing. The Alps are a very popular place to ski. The mountain scenery is truly wonderful! You can try downhill skiing, cross﹣country skiing or snowshoeing.
Not matter what kind of holiday you take, there are two things that nearly everyone does. The first is to sent postcards to friends and family at home, so they can see a photo of the place where you are. The second is to buy some sort of souvenir(纪念品) to that you can remember your trip﹣﹣maybe a T﹣shirt or an art piece. (5)

Last month some parents visited a pizza restaurant in Florida with their children. On the door, they saw a sign "NO CHLDREN." "Why can't we bring our children?" "What on earth does the owner want to do?" The parents were surprised and complained angrily.
So why did the restaurant put up the sign on its door?
Troy Taylor, the owner of the pizza restaurant, found that many parents couldn't control their children and many children couldn't have meals quietly, so they disturbed other customers. Some people said that this was unfair. Mr. Taylor explained his decision. He said that the restaurant was near a busy road, so there might be some danger if the parents didn't take good care of their children. So he made up his mind to ban(禁止) children from his restaurant.
Others supported his decision, they said they were bored of noisy children in restaurants and now they could finally have a place for adults only.
(3)In fact,many other restaurants have also met the same problem. Some have done nothing and others have tried to ban children during certain times of the day. There's one restaurant in Italy. It has been creative in dealing with the problem. They rewarded(奖励)well﹣behaved children to encourage parents to control their children.
(4)These methods may be useful for a while,but it is difficult to solve this problem completely.

Most of us have made an exercise plan, but only a few can follow it. WebMD(an American website) has listed the following tips for making exercise a habit in your life.
1. Do activities you enjoy.
Remember, there's no rule that says you have to go to a sports centre or buy equipment like swimming suits. Many types of activities, such as push﹣up(俯卧撑), can be done whenever it is rainy or snowy.
2. Exercise after work.
Don't go home first. Few people are so motivated(有动力的) that they will go out again and exercise after they go home and change clothes.
3. Exercise even when you are tired.
Tiredness is not an excuse. While exercising, you breathe deeply and your body makes better use of the oxygen exchange. Then, you will feel energetic.
4. Notice that you are better than before.
It's great when your clothes fit better, you can lift heavier things or take exercise longer. There's something good too, like getting a good night's sleep or thinking more clearly.
5. Walk with a pedometer(计步器)
Not everyone can start out with 10,000steps a day. Use a pedometer, and find out your daily steps. And then, try your best to walk 300extra steps each day. Finally, you can reach 10,000steps a day.

Beyond its influence on health, not getting enough sleep can lead to car accidents or other mistakes. Here are what sleep researchers have found about how to sleep.
How much sleep do we actually need?
It is known that all of us naturally need no less than eight hours of sleep per night. When we sleep below six hours per 24, we're at an increased risk of health problems. Some of us think we can make up any of those hours lost during the week on the weekends. Sadly,there is no storage system for sleep in the brain.
Can we train ourselves to need less sleep?
As a study in 1964, a 17﹣year﹣old boy named Randy Gardner stayed awake for 264 hours. How many people could do anything close to that without dying?
When you are reading this, you might say you usually get six hours of sleep and feel just fine. Sleep experts often compare people without enough sleep to drunk drivers: They don't get behind the wheel thinking they're probably going to kill someone.
Can we drink coffee instead of sleeping?
Coffee can keep us awake. Remember, too much coffee may throw off our sleep and energy cycles. So limit coffee and avoid caffeine for four to six hours before bedtime.
Does a sense of purpose connect to sleep quality?
A new research suggests a kind of strong connection between purpose in life and sleep. People who have a greater sense of purpose usually have better physical and mental health, which in turn explains their higher﹣quality sleep. Perhaps developing a sense of purpose in life could be as useful at improving sleep as the healthy habits above.

Nature's warnings
When the sky suddenly turns dark and the wind is strong, watch out! A dangerous storm might be coming. Storms are scary. Watch for flashes of lightning. Listen for thunder. If nature sends these warnings, don't wait for rain. Act right away to keep safe.
Safety Steps
At the first flash of lightning, quickly get inside a building or a car. Do not go into a shed (棚)for protection. It is not closed like a building, so it is not safe.
Even after you are indoors, be careful. It is not smart to go near doors and windows.They can blow in or break. A room with no windows is the safest place to be.
Do not wash your hands during a storm. Do not use anything that runs on electricity either. Water and electrical lines are like roads for lightning. Even if you really want to play computer games, don't! It is better to be bored than to risk getting hurt. Try reading a book instead. Reading is more fun than playing computer games.
If you can't get to somewhere safe, stay out in the open.You may feel safe under a tree,but that is not a good place to be. Lightning is pulling toward tall poles and trees. Stay down in an open space and cover your ears to protect them. Loud thunder can damage your hearing.
Lightning Strikes
Lightning does not strike people very often.It is not likely that you will ever see that happen.If you do, call 1﹣2﹣0. Only trained emergency workers should care for a person who has been hit by lighting.
If you follow these rules, you should stay safe during a storm.
(1)From Paragraph I, we learn that .
A. storms are frightening and harmful
B. storms often come without warnings
C. people should wait and watch lightning
D. people should take action after the storm
(2)The underlined word "It" in Paragraph 2 probably means .

B. a car
C. a room
D. a shed
(3)During a storm you had better .
A. use a computer for a while
B. listen for thunder by a window
C. leave the room and stay out
D. find a closed or an open place
(4)If a person is hit by lightning, you should .
A. call for emergency help
B. stay down in a safe space
