With 10,600 bicycles in circulation,Paris city officials are hoping the program will provide people with more environmentally friendly transportation.
It seems both Parisians and tourists are taking advantage of the program.Since its launch a little over two weeks ago,Vélib' has already seen almost half a million rentals.And,with the addition of 10,000 more bikes and 700 more stations in the next 12 months,city officials expect at least 200,000 regular users by year end.
Parisian Olivier Bioret has already gone for a spin on one of Vélib's vehicles and plans to make use of them more often.
“It’s a real pleasure—when,like me,you don’t have space enough in your flat to have your own bike—to be able to discover,to cross Paris and not have to take the subway,”he said.
As a socialist and longtime green activist,Mayor Bertrand Delanoe regards Vélib' as just a part of his plan to reduce car traffic and,thus,lower pollution by 2024.
Apart from its environmental benefits,Vélib' is also being praised as a way of collecting money for the city,for all the money from rentals goes to the city government.
Paris is not alone in its attempt to profit from the power of the bicycles.
Across the globe,cities such as Barcelona,which stated its bike-share program in March with 1,500 vehicles and 100 stations,and New York,which launched a five-day trial program last month,are using bicycles as a way to cut back on both traffic and pollution.
However,it remains to be seen whether people’s acceptance of these programs is simply a passing fashion or whether this movement has the power to take root and transform the face of public transportation around the world.
1.The real purpose of Vélib' is .
A.to help people save money and space
B.to make some money for the city government
C.to provide convenience to both Parisians and tourists
D.to reduce traffic and pollution in the city
2.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.There will be 700 stations in one year’s time.
B.There will be over 20,000 bikes in use in a year.
C.In the first two weeks there were nearly a million rentals.
D.There will be 200,000 regular rentals each day by year end.
3.We can know from the passage that .
A.other cities also have such programs
B.Parisians can use the bicycles for free
C.Paris sets an example to many other cities
D.Paris is the first city to start such a program
4.As to the future of the program,the author is .
A.critical B.optimistic
C.uncertain D.negative

It was a Saturday morning,a day I believed would end in victory.For weeks,I had been preparing for the match at the county fairgrounds,sponsored(赞助)by our local riding club.My horse,Tonka,and I could run faster than any other kid in the county,and I hoped to bring home a blue ribbon.
My mother usually drove me to the riding events,but on this day,my father planned to drop us off at the fairgrounds with the horse trailer(拖车).
Although we never discussed it,my father’s struggle with alcoholism had become the silent center of our family life.My mother was paralyzed with fear and indecision.Her salary as a part-time nurse couldn’t possibly support four children.No one talked about alcoholism in those days,and it was my family’s secret.
We climbed on the trailer and my father pulled out of our driveway and headed toward the fairgrounds,picking up speed once we hit the main road.It wasn’t until we felt a big bump that I realized the trailer was out of control.The dream of my riding winner disappeared.Tonka lay on
the floor,completely still.No words were possible.I knew he was dead.
Suddenly a man appeared.“Are you all right?”he asked.“Yes,”I answered,although I knew that nothing was all right.“Sit here on the grass,”he said.He bent down to look into the trailer.Tonka remained still.He touched Tonka and then turned to face me.“He is going to be OK.He has just been knocked unconscious.” He rubbed Tonka’s cheeks and gently pulled his ears.Tonka rose to his feet.
Our father was talking to a police officer.He was upset and in pain and took little notice of me.I looked back;the man was gone.
I never forgot him.He gave me strength and a sense of hope in a dark and frightening moment.
1.The writer went to the fairgrounds because he wanted to .
A.take part in a horse-racing
B.buy Mum a blue ribbon
C.join the local riding club
D.train his horse there
2.We can learn from the third paragraph that .
A.the family kept silent at home
B.the family lived a secret life
C.Father was addicted to alcohol
D.Mum was physically disabled
3.What does “he” in the fourth paragraph refer to?
A.Father. B.The stranger.
C.The horse. D.The winner.
4.What does the author want to tell the readers through the story?
A.Once formed,bad habits are difficult to break.
B.Unexpected kindness is a light that shines in the darkness.
C.However mean your life is,meet it and live it.
D.Family is a place of encouragement,a safe harbor in the storms.

American English is full of colorful expressions.One such expression is to touch all bases.It comes from the sport of baseball.
There are four bases in baseball—first,second,third and home plate.Together,the bases form a diamond shape.When a baseball player hits the ball,he must run to each base—in order—and touch it with his foot.It is the only way to score a point.If the player hits the ball and fails to touch all the bases,the point will not be counted.
The importance of touching all the bases was shown at the start of the 1974 baseball season.
Hank Aaron was a player with the Atlanta Braves team.He was seeking the record for hitting the most home runs.A home run is a ball that is hit over the ball.Aaron needed just one home run to equal the record held by Babe Ruth,the greatest hitter in baseball history.Aaron got that home run the very first time he had a chance to hit the ball.He sent the ball over the wall that surrounded the playing field.That gave him 714 home runs—the same as Babe Ruth.
After that day,baseball fans held their breath every time it was Hank Aaron’s turn to hit.When would he hit home run number 715?
The wait was not long.In the second week of the season,Aaron again hit the ball over the wall.He had beaten Babe Ruth’s record.But first,he had to run around the four bases.The other players on his team watched carefully to make sure he touched each one.If he did not,the home run would not have counted.There would have no new record.
So,to touch all bases means to do what is necessary to complete an activity.
The expression is used in business and politics.No business deal or political campaign is really complete until you discuss all the issues involved.Or,as it is said,until you touch all bases.
A professional diplomat in reporting on negotiations with diplomats from different countries may say they“touched all bases”during many hours of talks.This means they explored all issues involved in the situation.
1.Which of the following the player will score in a baseball game?
A.One who runs to the fourth base directly.
B.One who hits the ball and runs to each base in order.
C.One who hits the ball and fails to touch all the bases.
D.One who hits the ball over the wall that surrounds the playing field.
2.Why did baseball fans pay so much attention to Hank Aaron?
A.Because he was the greatest hitter in baseball history.
B.Because he touched all the bases.
C.Because the team he was playing for was famous.
D.Because they wanted to know when he would set a new record.
3.Which example can best explain the meaning of “to touch all bases”?
A.Politicians talk about some hot issues of the campaign.
B.A student reviews several difficult points for the exam.
C.A reporter gives readers a complete picture of an event.
D.Some businessmen discuss the important problems in the deal.
4.What’s the purpose of this passage?
A.To introduce an expression.
B.To explain baseball rules.
C.To describe a baseball game.
D.To tell the story of a baseball player.
