Developed for the government by the Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research (TNO), the intelligent bicycle, runs on electricity. A commercial-available bicycle is expecte
11、d to be on the market in the next two years and should sell for between 1, 700 to 3, 200 euros per bicycle. The devices on the bike are linked through an onboard computer with a vibrating (震动的) warning system fitted in the bicycles saddle and handlebars to warn cyclists of the coming danger.The sadd
12、le vibrates when other cyclists approach from behind, while, the handlebars do the same when barriers appear ahead. Accidents often happen when cyclists look behind them or get a fright when they are passed at high speed, said Maurice Kwakkernaat, one of TNOs research scientists involved in the proj
13、ect. The onboard system technology has already been at work in the car industry, he said. More and more elderly people are using a bicycle, not only for short distances, but also for longer distances, Dutch Environment and Infrastructure Minister Melanie Schultz van Haegen told AFP. This type of bic
14、ycle is truly needed in the Netherlands because it will help us bring down the number of elderly people who are injured every year and allow them to continue to enjoy cycling, she said. In the Netherlands, bicycles outnumber the population of 17 million by at least one million and there are some 25,
15、000 km of bicycle path in the country. Those statistics are set to grow as more and more people take to two-wheeled transport, leading to an increased risk of injury. Last year, 184 cyclists died in the country, of which 124, or 67%, were older than 65, according to the Central Statistics Office. Th
16、e year before, 200 cyclists died, the majority of victims also being elderly. The current model weighs 25 kilograms but researchers are working on making the onboard systems smaller. 4.

19、ocolate bar every day really prevent age-related memory loss? No. But a new research shows that large amounts of flavones, substances found in cocoa, tea and some kinds of vegetables, may improve age-related memory failure. Dr. Scott Small is a professor of neurology (神经病学) at Columbia University in
20、 new York City. He is the lead writer of a research paper describing the effects of cocoa flavones on brain activity. His study involved 37 volunteers aged between 50 and 69. Researchers gave them a high-level flavones drink made from cocoa beans or a low-level flavones drink. For a period of three
21、months, some subjects got 900 milligrams of flavones a day. The others got 10 milligrams of flavones each day. Brain imaging and memory tests were given to each study subject before and after the study. Dr. Small says that the subjects who had the high-level flavones drink showed much improvement on
22、 memory tests. The researchers warn that more work is needed to be done because this study was performed only on a small group. Dr. Joann Manson is the lead researcher of a four-year study involving 18,000 adults. This study will use flavones capsules. The study subjects will be divided into two gro
23、ups and will take two pills per day. The capsules used will all look the same. But one groups capsules will contain flavones, while the other group will take capsules made of an inactive substance, or placebo. Dr. Manson says its not necessary for people to start eating more chocolate, because 3 per
24、sons would have to eat a huge amount of chocolate to get the same level of flavones given to the rest subjects. He adds many manufacturers have planned to remove the flavones from their chocolate products. Similarly, Dr. Manson says a cocoa-based flavones extract（提取）may be developed in the future. B
25、ut he says that more studies are needed to see how much flavones is good for our health.8. What was done to the subjects after Dr. Smalls study? A. They were asked to take a high-level flavones drink. B. They were given capsules containing flavones. C. They were given brain imaging and memory tests.
26、 D. They were asked to take two pills of flavones capsules per day.9. Whats the similarity of the two experiments? A. Both use high-level flavones capsules. B. The number of the subjects is the same. C. Drinks and placebos are used in both experiments. D. The subjects are divided into two groups in
27、both experiments.10. Why will Dr. Manson carry out the four-year study? A. To prove the first experiment is wrong.B. To carry out the experiment further. C. To test how much flavones can improve our memory. D. To show eating chocolate is better to improve memory.11. What can we learn from the last p
28、aragraph? A Its not necessary for us to eat chocolate. B The more we eat flavones, the better our health will be. C. In the future we can get flavones without eating chocolate. D. Its easy for people to get the same level of flavones given to the test subjects.DOn the eve of our daughters weddings,
29、I gave both of them what I considered to be excellent marital advice: never leave your husband unsupervised (无人监督的) with pruning shears (修枝剪). If only I had taken my own advice.

34、other. “Please, stop!” I called. He smiled and nodded, but he couldnt hear because he had started the hedge (树篱) trimmers and was getting ready to fix a line of hedges. Zip (飕飕声), zip, zip.“What do you think?” he shouted.“Its supposed to be a privacy hedge; now all that will be private are our ankle
