government has decided to have a bike revolution. It has decided to provide 6,000 bikes. for the local people to rent. The government encouraged local people to ride bikes. It can not only solve the traffic problem, but also make people keep healthy.

More than 12. 000 people have accepted the idea. Some of them ask for more than one key. Although there are not enough bikes, an official from the government said that they would find some ways to deal with such a shortage.. Local people can get these bikes at special docking stations(停靠站). There are about 315 docking stations across the city. More than 12,456 keys have already, been

(C)

Christmas is a time for shopping. But I think those of us who live in large cities in Asia would be cheating ourselves it' we said this is the only time we are busy shopping. No from Bangkok to Singapore, from Shanghai to Manila, I shopping---especially shopping in large centers---is a year-round activity.

Shopping centers are good. They show Asia’s surprising economic(经济的)growth, and how far we have come in such a short time. For many of the older generation who can remember a time when everyone lived in villages and there was no running water, the air-conditioned centre means comfort choice, luxury（豪华）and better times.

Nowadays, It seems our usual activities happen in the centre----it’s where we shop, eat, watch movies, meet our friends or just generally walk around.

Further more,.we have come to regard shopping centers as important landmarks or tourist attractions (吸引力). Whole generations of Asians are growing up to think that, besides home and school, the shopping centers is the most natural place to be.

My idea about shopping centers is not that they are often big buildings that look quite different from other. parts in a city, or that they promote (促进) shopping at a time ,when our planet can hardly afford it. My main idea about centers is that they don't really seem to make us happy. The large advertisements outside the stores could make us think that if we only had this pair of jeans, or if we hung out at this cafe drinking

coffee ,then we could feel more successful. But once we buy something. we only want to buy something more---as everyone already knows.

Shopping centers, even though they try to look as welcoming as possible, can be unkind places ,To make us buy, they must make us feel that we are short of something or that everyone

The saddest thing is that the modern centre has stopped us from many beautiful. necessary and important activities. We have no one blame (责怪) but ourselves, Instead

of shopping, we could be cooking, visiting a nearby waterfall. going to the beach, reading a novel, taking a long walk, playing a sport, leaning a dance or visiting each other's homes.

Every time we have a spare piece of land ,all we can think of building on it is yet another centre. Perhaps instead. we should be building libraries. theatres. museums, sports halls: public swimming pools. parks---the list is endless. We might even consider leaving that land alone. This is something that the centre may have caused us to forget---in order to be happy, we must create as well as consume（消费）. 53. What is the writer's attitude（态度）towards shopping centers?

A. He likes them very much. B. He doesn't like them at all. C. He likes them only a little. D. He doesn't like all of them. 54.Why do more and more shopping centers appear in some Asian countries? A. Because economy in the world develops very fast.

B Because shopping centers have attracted tourists all over the world. C Because people go shopping in large centers all year round.

D. Because shopping centers have become an important part in everyone’s life.

55. What is the greatest disadvantage of shopping centers, according to the writer? A. They don't seem to make us happy.

B. They lead us to buy more and more things. C. They force us to give up many other activities.

D. They have us fall into endless competition with others. 56. Which of the following is not true?

A. It is very easy for us to find a shopping centre in a big city. B. There are usually all kinds of services in a shopping center. C. The government must be responsible for the writer’s sadness. D. Besides shopping. there're many other activities we can enjoy.
