| Getting paid for going to work may sound too good to be true, but it"s part of an increasingly popular scheme for commuters across Europe. Employers in Belgium, the Netherlands and other European countries are rewarding staff if they come to work on a bicycle, paying them for every kilometer they cycle, all in an effort to promote environmentalism, not to mention a healthier lifestyle. In Belgium, cycling commuters are being paid 20 euro cents (29 U. S. cents) per kilometer, whereas those in the Netherlands can earn 15 cents and participants in Britain up to 20 pence (32 U. S. cents) per mile-all of it taxfree. In Belgium, a popular cycling nation and home to fivetime Tour de France and Giro D"Italia winner Eddie Merckx, finance ministry figures show that more than 270,000 people took part in the scheme last year, up from 140,000 in 2006. Last year, that meant the Belgian taxman paid out 43 million euros to those who bill for cycling to work. "Higher oil prices and environmental awareness contribute to having more cyclists on the road," said Dieter Snauwaert, coordinator of the biketowork scheme of the Flemish Cyclists" Union in Belgium. One of the most successful corporate proponents has been Belgian discount supermarket chain Colruyt, which launched the policy four years ago and now has 2,100 participants. Colruyt provides employees who live up to 7 km away from work with a bicycle and takes care of maintenance. Company spokesman Victor De Meester said that apart from employees being healthier there were also other advantages. "The more people cycle to work the fewer parking spaces you have to offer. It"s not so easy, especially in urban areas, to expand parking spaces," he said. Colruyt, which has more than 22,000 employees, is now looking to target those who live further away than 7 km (4.4 miles) by offering electric bicycles to make it easier to negotiate larger distances. "Our target is 400 participants by 2015 but given the response we have had so far this may be too low a number," De Meester said. Colruyt"s belief that employees who cycle to work are healthier than their colleagues who don"t is backed up by research from Dutch organization TNO. The researcher found that over the course of a year, cycling employees on average lose one working day less due to illness than employees who commute by other means. If the number of workers who cycle to work increased by one percent, Dutch employers would save a total of 27 million euros per year, TNO said. 1. Which of the following can be the title of the passage? A. The Most Successful Supermarket Chain B. Getting Paid for Cycling to Work C. Europeans: Enjoying a Healthier Lifestyle D. Why Cycling Employees Have a Better Body 2. What"s the purpose of the scheme? A. To promote environmentalism. B. To give money to the staff. C. To increase the sale of bicycles. D. To reduce the sale of electric bicycles. 3. Which of the following is NOT the advantage of the scheme? A. It makes people have healthier bodies. B. The employers make more profits. C. It is friendly to our environment. D. It needs more parking spaces. 4. The money the bicyclers obtain according to ________. A. the kilometers they cycle B. the brand of their bicycles C. the tax they pay D. the cost of their bicycles 5. What do we know about Belgian discount supermarket chain Colruyt? A. All its workers are offered bicycles. B. The charge of the bicycle maintenance is paid by the users. C. It attaches great importance to the scheme. D. It has the most participants. | |||

| You love Jay Chou"s songs and you can sing some quite well. So you make a video of your performance and post it online for your friends to see. But what if this led to something beyond your wildest imagination-a career in music? Canadian teenager Justin Bieber, 16, has just had the magical experience: He posted homemade videos of his versions of songs by American singer Chris Brown online for his relatives. He received a phone call from Brown, telling him how much he liked his performance. His singing eventually earned him a fan base and a record contract. After releasing a popular EP (extended play密纹唱片) record in November 2009, his album My world 2.0 came out last Tuesday. Bieber sings ballads and songs about puppy love. But is he just another gooey (甜腻的) teen idol? David Malitz, a columnist with the Washington Post, doesn"t think so. "If we truly want the best for American children, let us pause and give thanks for Justin Bieber," he writes. "After years of humdrum bubblegum (乏味的摇滚舞曲) from Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers, the 16yearold has thrown a candycoated wrench (扭转) into Disney"s heartthrob (甜心) assembly line (生产线) by giving young fans something worth screaming their lungs out for: lovable pop songs." From a boy who grew up below the poverty line with his divorced mom to a star who caused nearriots (近乎失控) in shopping malls, even Bieber himself can"t believe his overnight fame, although his kind of success is becoming more and more common in the Internet era. Interested in hockey (冰球), the national sport of Canada, the boy once put up pictures of players on the walls of his bedroom. He dreamed of being a hockey star and used to practice signing his autograph (签名). He doesn"t need practice now. He signs autographs, if the girls can get close enough, as a music star. 1. What did Chris Brown think of Justin Bieber"s singing? A. He didn"t like it. B. He liked it very much. C. He didn"t say anything. D. He supported Justin Bieber. 2. Who is a columnist? A. Chris Brown. B. Jay Chou. C. David Malitz. D. Miley Cyrus. 3. What can we learn from the fourth paragraph? A. He had a happy family. B. His family was very poor once. C. His family was rich. D. His family helped him a lot. 4. What"s Justin Bieber"s hobby? A. Singing. B. Hockey. C. Signing. D. Making records. 5. What"s the best title of the passage? A. Justin Bieber"s overnight singing online. B. Justin Bieber"s common experience. C. Justin Bieber"s life. D. Justin Bieber"s records. | |||
| "In only six days I lost seven pounds of weight." "Two full inches in the first three days!" These are the kinds of statements used in magazine, newspaper, radio and television ads, promising new shapes and new looks to those who buy the medicine or the device. The promoters of products say they can shape the legs, slim the face, smooth wrinkles, or in some other way to add to beauty or desirability. Often such products are nothing more than moneymaking things for their promoters. The results they produce are questionable, and some are dangerous to health. To understand how these products can be legally promoted to the public, it is necessary to understand something of the laws covering their regulation. If the product is a drug, FDA(Food and Drug Administration)can require proof under the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act that is safe and effective before it is put on the market. But if the product is a device, FDA has no authority to require premarketing proof of safety or effectiveness. If a product already on the market is a danger to health, FDA can request the producer or distributor to remove it from the market voluntarily, or it can take legal action, including seizure(查封)of the product. One notable case a few years ago involved an electrical device called the Relaxacisor, which had been sold for reducing the waistline. The Relaxacisor produced electrical shocks to the body through contact pads. FDA took legal action against the distributor to stop the sale of the device on the grounds that it was dangerous to health and life. Obviously, most of the devices on the market have never been the subject of court proceedings (法律诉讼), and new devices appear continually. Before buying, it is up to the consumer to judge the safety or effectiveness of such items. | |||
