In New York, some bike riders have even formed a group called Bike for a Better City. They declare th
15、at if more people rode bicycles to work, there would be fewer automobiles in the downtown part of the city and so less dirty air from car engines.For several years this group has been trying to get the city government to help bicycle riders. For example, they want the city to draw special lanes（车道）
16、for bicycles only on some of the main streets, because when bicycle riders must use the same lanes as cars, there are accidents. Bike for a Better City feels that if there were special lanes, more people would use bikes.But no bicycle lanes have been drawn. Not everyone thinks it is a good ideathey

21、gers arrived on a flight from Belgium.Koehler took special notice of one of the women among them. At first he did not know what made him pick her out of them the womans baggage was made of a purse and two suitcases. She showed no sign of fear when Koehler opened them. Yet Koehler could not rid himse
22、lf of the feeling that something was wrong.Suddenly he knew what it was. The woman was too tall. This womans height didnt seem right somehow. Then it was found that the bottom parts of her shoes were filled with something.The inspector opened them. A handful of diamonds fell out on the floor. More j
23、ewels were found under a false bottom in one of her suitcases. Their total weight was 3,387 carats. It was one of the largest diamond hauls (缴获) ever made by the US Customs.60.

27、es can be understood in different ways. It is true that a smile means the same thing in any language. So does laughter or crying. Fear is another emotion(情感) that is shown in much the same way all over the world. In Chinese and in English literature, a phrase like “he went pale and began to tremble”
28、 suggests that the man is either very afraid or he has just got a very big shock. However, “he opened his eyes wide” is used to suggest anger in Chinese whereas in English it means surprise. In Chinese, surprise can be described in a phrase like “they stretched out their tongues!” “Stretching out yo
29、ur tongue” in English is an insulting(侮辱的, 无礼的)gesture or expresses strong dislike. Even in the same culture, people differ in their ability to understand and express feelings. Experiments in America have shown that women are usually better than men at recognizing fear, anger, love and happiness on

34、s and FeelingsDNowadays, the increase in the prices of agricultural products is one of the greatest concerns of the people and the government. The government has announced a series of policies(政策) to prevent the prices from rising further. Rising housing prices is still a big concern for the people,
35、 but since farm products are needed every day, the increase in their prices has made life very difficult for them.Many people may think the increase will help farmers. But have higher prices of farm products really benefited the farmers? As the fact shows, just increasing prices of farm products wil
36、l have negative influence on the entire economy. On one hand, the price increase has created some abnormal phenomena(现象), which hurts farmers interests. On the other hand, resources(资源；物力) will enter the agriculture because of the high price of farm products, which would finally create negative effe
37、ct on the whole economy. In such a case, it would be better to leave the market to decide the prices instead of raising farm products prices to protect the interests of farmers. Actually, such a way will be better for farmers in the long run. 68. What does the author mainly want to tell us by writin

41、 a large circulation(发行). The Daily Mirror and the Daily Express both sell about four million copies every day. British families generally buy a newspaper every morning and two or three on Sundays. Besides the national papers, there is, however, another branch of the British press which sells almost
42、 as many copies. Local newspapers have a weekly circulation of 13 million. Almost every town and country area has one. Nearly all of them hold their own finance and many of them are very profitable(赚钱的).These papers are written almost entirely for readers interested in local events-births, weddings,
43、 deaths, council(议会)meetings and sports. Editors prefer to depend on people who know the district well. A great deal of local news is regularly supplied by clubs and churches in the neighborhood and it does not get out of date as quickly as national news.The editors must never forget that the succes
44、s of any newspaper depend on advertising. They are usually for this reason.
