18.Sales of electric bicycles,or e-bikes,a hot item in consumer green tech,are expected to grow by more than 50% in North America during 2013.Actor William Shatner,who is no stranger to futuristic tech,recently purchased two e-bikes for him and his wife.
I've been shopping for an e-bike now for a few weeks,and I've had my eye on the folding electric bike.I've had folding bikes in the past and love the convenience of being able to throw my bike into my car.
The e-bike market is ready to go mainstream in the U.S.The price for e-bikes has come down greatly in rcccnt months.At one time.Most e-bikes with good components and proper weight were in the 3,000range.Now you can find reasonable quality c-bikes in the 1,000range.With gas prices at all-time highs,e-bikes are an attractive,low-cost option to gas efficient vehicles.
E-bike owners are finding that they arc great for commuting(每犬往返)to work,as  traditional bikes can be a problem with office dress and sweat.
People who use e-bikes range from commuters to casual cyclers who like a little help with hills and wind,to those who decided to save money on.buying a motor bike.These are not for the serious road cycler or professional mountain biker.
If you're considering all e-bike,it pays to do some research first.Cheaper e-bikes are going to be heavier and have less battery.power.Higher priced bikes will be made from lighter materials and have better batteries.
Another consideration is local motor vehicle laws.For example,according to US federal law,as long as your electric bike is under 750 watts and does not go over 20 MPH then it is a bicycle and not a motor vehicle.Most consumer e-bikes in the 1,000 range don't fit the motorized vehicle description.

8.British people,writes BBC reporter Denise Winterman,were brought up on the idea of three square meals a day being a normal eating pattern (模式),but this is changing.
Family dinner around a table,according to Winterman,is in decline (衰落)and the UK is not the only country experiencing such change.
A traditional English breakfast includes sausages,bacon,fried eggs,mushrooms,baked beans,fried tomatoes,and toast with butter.However,these days most people don't eat a traditional breakfast every day,or even at all.This is because it is very greasy (油膩的).Most people eat a bowl of cereal with milk,or have a slice of toast with butter to start the day.
Take a look at a typical British Sunday.For millions of Britons,Sundays have gone from quiet church-going and housework days,to days of happy shopping and socializing.People get up later and eat brunch at pubs.Fewer people bother to cook for themselves.
As for lunch,sandwiches dominate (占主導).Today the average time taken to eat lunch-usually in front of a computer-is about 15minutes,according to researchers at the University of Westminster.
According to the British Sandwich Association,a sandwich is a popular lunch choice for 75percent or Britons.People in the country buy about 3billion ready-made sandwiches a year,meaning each Briton eats about 200sandwiches annually.
Dinner is the main meal of the day,and a time for people to relax and enjoy a cooked meal with friends or family after a hard day at work.But when the first microwave meal came on to the market in 1986,the family dinner began to decline.
While a formal family dinner may be eaten by fewer people nowadays,the dinner party with friends certainly isn't over-thanks to the huge sales of recipe books by celebrity chefs.

67.What is the article mainly about?D
A.New popular choices for British meals.
B.What British people traditionally eat at mealtime.
C.What influences the British diet.
D.The changes of eating habits in Britain.
68.One reason British people have stopped eating traditional breakfast is thatB.
A.it takes too much time                     B.it is considered unhealthy
C.it contains too much sugar                  D.it is not nutritious enough
69.We can conclude from the article that sandwichesC.
A.a(chǎn)re considered the healthiest lunch in Britain
B.a(chǎn)re more popular among young people than elders
C.a(chǎn)re a quick lunch for many Britons
D.have seen an increase of 15percent in popularity in the past ten years
70.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A
A.British people spend less time cooking and eating with family nowadays.
B.British people eat more sandwiches than people in any other countries.
C.It's common around the world that people have more parties with friends.
D.The author is delighted about the changing eating pattern in Britain.

To date we have had no complaints about these workboots from customers who have used the protector spray.However,should you use the spray and find that you are still unsatisfied with the boots,please return the boots and spray for a full refund.Thank you for supporting The Shoe People.Have a Happy New Year.

13.A quarter of US adults say they read no books at all in the past year,according to an Associated Press-Ipsos survey.The typical person said that he/she read four books in the last year and,excluding those who had not read any books at all,the usual number of books read was seven.
Of those who did read,women and pensioners (領養(yǎng)老金者) were the most eager readers,and religious works and popular fiction were the top choices.The number of books read was nine books for women and five for men.The number also showed that those with college degrees read the most,and people aged 50and over read more than those who are younger.
People from the West and Midwest are more likely to have read at least one book in the past year.Southerners who do read tend to read more books-mostly religious books and romance novels-than people from other regions.
Those who said they never attend religious services read nearly twice as many books as those who attend frequently,but the Bible and religious works were read by two thirds of the people in the survey,more than all the other categories.Popular fiction,histories,biographies and mysteries took up about half,while one in five read romance novels.Politics,poetry and classical literature were named by fewer than 5% of readers.More women than men read every major category of books except for history and biography books.Men tend to prefer non-fiction.
Book sales in the US have been flat in recent years and are expected to stay that way,which,experts think,results from competition from the Internet and other media,and the unsteady economy.

8.If you see a group of people dancing and singing on the street or in the railway station,you don't need to feel surprised.They are a flash mob (快閃族),which is a group of people who come together suddenly in a public place,do something unusual for a brief period of time,and then quickly break up.They are usually organized with the help of the Internet or other digital communication network.At a predetermined time,they gather and perform some  distractions(消遣) such as waving their hands and exchanging books,Then,they quickly break up before the police can arrive.Using mobile phones,the flash mob can change its location if the first one has been replaced for any reason.
Bill Lasik,senior editor of Harper's Magazine,organized the first flash mob in Manhattan in May 2003and the first successful flash mob came together on June 3,2003-after the first attempt was foiled at Macy's department store.Lasik claimed that the activity was designed to make fun of hipsters (起時髦的人),and call attention to the cultural atmosphere.
Flash mob gatherings can sometimes shock people.Such an activity might seem amusing and untrue,but it also might frighten people who are not aware of what is taking place.Undoubtedly,flash mobs can serve as good political tools in any direction.They also have great economic potential,such as using flash mobs to advertise a product.
The flash mob is now becoming more and more popular.People use it to do many things.For example,in 2009,Michael Jackson's fans took part in a flash mob to remember him.Hundreds of his fans gathered singing and dancing Michael's famous song"Beat It"together.Flash mobs give people from all walks of life an opportunity to come together to create a memory.

29.The writer indicates that the flash mobA
A.may perform some positive functions
B.is always a headache for the police
C.is now a social experiment to criticize fashion followers
D.helps to improve the efficiency of communication
30.A flash mop is most likelyB
A.give out leaflets of a brand bicycle to the passers-by
B.gather in public places performing and leave quickly
C.plan to go mountaineering on the first day of Horse year
D.sit for days in front of the city hall for higher salary
31.According to the passage,what contribute(s) to the popularity of the flash mob?D
A.Harper's magazine     
B.The government
C.Political events
D.Digital networks.
