But no bicycles lanes have been drawn. Not everyone thinks they are a good idea-----they say it will slow traffic. Some store owners on the main streets don"t like the idea------they say that if there is less traffic, they will have less business.
The city government has not yet decided what to do. It wants to keep everyone happy. On weekends, Central Park----the largest place of open ground in New York----is closed to cars, and the roads may be used by bicycles only. But Bike for a Better City says that this is not enough and keeps fighting to get bicycle lanes downtown.
73. The bike riders suggest that _____________.
A. bicycles should be used instead of cars B. bicycle lanes should be drawn
C. fewer buses or cars should be used D. the number of special lanes should be increased
74. The advantage(好处) of the special lanes is that _______.
A. they will make cars and buses run slowly B. they will make it easier for bike riders to go to parks
C .they will make the city more beautiful D. the lanes will prevent accidents
75. The government has not decided whether special lanes should be drawn ______.
A. so that everyone is disappointed B. because there are different opinions
C. because most people travel by train D. because Bike for a Better City is not strong enough
“When I was a little boy, I loved the night sky. I remember looking up and the sky was filled with stars. I became an astronomer because I was amazed by their beauty,” says Robert gent, “Now in most big cities kids can’t see the stars like I did.”
Normally, about 2,500 individual stars are visible to the naked eye without using any special equipment. But because of light pollution, you actually see just 200 to 300 and fewer than a dozen from some cities. Only one in three Americans can see our own galaxy (星系) with the naked eye. Those people live far away from the lights of big cities, office building, and shopping malls.
Fortunately, there’s an inexpensive and useful way. If we shine lights down at the ground instead of up into the sky, and use lower brightness levels, we can save big amounts of energy and keep the beauty of the night skies. Many cities and towns have passed laws limiting lights at night, making sure enough shine for safety without creating much light pollution.
Light pollution affects more than our view of the heavens and can harm wildlife. Migrating (迁移) birds sometimes fly over cities and become confused by the brightness, flying in circles until they drop from exhaustion. Sea turtles need dark beaches for nesting and won’t approach bright lights. Too much light at night may even affect human health. For all these reasons, researchers are working on ways to use light only when and where they are truly needed. Everyone deserves to look up at the sky.

Secondhand smoke clearly kills people and the only way to control it is to ban smoking in all workplaces, US Surgeon-General Dr Richard Carmona said.
In 1964Surgeon General’s report first laid out the 21 of smoking. Years later, in another report Dr Richard Carmona 22 the effects of secondhand smoke and said no one should be forced to inhale it.
“Secondhand smoke causes early death and disease in children and in 23 who do not smoke,” the report reads. “Children 24 to secondhand smoke are at an increased risk for sudden infant death syndrome(综合症), acute respiratory(呼吸道) infections, and ear problems,” it adds.
Smoking by 25 causes respiratory symptoms and slows lung growth in their children. A 2005 report from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that 430 26 died every year in the United States from sudden infant death syndrome-all 27 by secondhand smoke.
States, 28 and other local authorities have battled over instituting(制定)smoking bans. Some 29 , especially bars and restaurants, have said they will lose business if smoking is completely banned. But the report said it is impossible to protect non-smokers even with designated smoking areas, and at least one report from California, which has strict bans, has shown no 30 on businesses.

Tears are nature"s way of making us feel more comfortable. When our eyes is made uncomfortable by some small pieces of pollution, or when we are cutting onions, or when we are exhausted and “red –eyes” from over work and late hours, tears form in our eyes to clean and re-flesh them.
Tears are also a sign of strong emotion. We cry when we are sad and we cry when we are happy.
And tears seem to be uniquely(唯独)human. We know that animals also experience emotion—fear, pleasure, loneliness — but they do not shed (流) tears. From this, we can conclude that tears are closely related to the emotional and biological make up of the human species.
Biologically speaking, tears are actually drops of saline fluid, which is a little bit salty, produced by a gland(腺)in the body. Because salt is an important component, tears may actually constitute the most conclusive evidence that the human animal is the end product of a long evolutionary process that began in the sea.
And it is clear that, in addition to(除了) the emotional benefits(好处), the shedding of tears has a specific biological function as well. Through tears, we can eliminate from our body certain chemicals which build up in response to stress and create a chemical imbalance in the body. Crying actually makes us feel better by correcting that imbalance and making us feel good again. And thus the emotional and the biological functions of tears merge(合并)into one and make us even more "human" than we would otherwise be.
68.According to the passage, human beings may have originated(起源于)in________.
A.the sea B.the salt C.chemicals D.animals
69.Which of the following is NOT a function of tears?
A.Biological B.Emotional C.Political D.Chemical
70.According to the article, which of the following is unique to humans?
A.The feeling of loneliness. B.The state of feeling good.
C.The ability to shed tears D.The feeling of fear
71.The underlined word “eliminate” probably means_______.
A.add B.produce C.replace D.remove

Some people think that they will get ill if they use their brains (大脑) too much.. It is not true. Through many studies, scientists show us that the more you use your brains, the better it will be, and the cleverer you will become.
Of course, if you want to keep your mind clear and active, you must take a proper rest and study properly. To the teenagers, using their brains in the morning is good for their health.
There are many ways to rest. One is a peaceful rest. Sleep is a peaceful rest. Another is an active rest. For example, take a walk outdoors, do more exercises every day. To change the way of the brains’ activities is also a good way to rest.
In everyday life, to eat some eggs, meat, fresh vegetables and fruit(水果)is also good for the brains.
