For those who may not be familiar, there is no such thing as a bicycle grants(补助金). As a matter
of fact, there are a number of organizations and programs offering bicycle grants to bicyclers all over
the world. Now of course, you can't simply receive money, because you want to buy a new mountain
bike. Usually, those awarded grants are working on improving the quality of life. People are excited
about the bicycle grants. This type of influence and achievement is gaining the attention of various
companies that want to help by providing the necessary funding.
Eastman Kodak Company
Kodak has developed a fund called the “ Kodak American Greenways Awards". They are
cooperating with the National geographic Society and the Conservation fund. Each year, they present
grants as high as $2,500. The“seed” grant award is awarded to organizations that focus on improving
blueways, greenways, natural areas, and trails.

The government has developed their only program for bicycle riders, called " The US Department
of transportation's Recreational Trails Program". The government’s program is primarily focused on
funding trail projects. The benefits of the fund is recreation, which includes bicycling, hiking, in-line
skating, snowmobiling, all-terrain(地面)vehicle riding, and so forth. The great addition to the fund is
that they distribute the funding to all the states. This means that everybody has the opportunity of
receiving bicycle grants.
Bikes Belong Coalition
The Bikes Belong Coalition makes putting more people on bicycles their priority. They advocate
for a better environment, recreation, sports, and better health, by way of bicycling. At the same time,
they provide funding for supporting projects and bicycle facilities. Some of the projects they accept are

Today's world is not an easy adjustment for young adults. Key skill set for success is persistence , a
characteristic that researchers say is heavily influenced by fathers. Researchers from Brigham Young
University discovered that fathers are in a unique position to help their adolescent children learn
persistence.
BYU professors Laura Padilla-Walker and Randal Day arrived at these findings after following 325
American families over several years. And over time，the persistence gained through fathers led to
higher achievement in school.
"There are relatively few studies that stress the unique role of fathers，"Padilla-Walker said. "This
research also helps to prove that characteristics such as persistence-which can be taught-are key to a
child's life success.”
Researchers determined that dads need to practice an "authoritative" parenting style. Authoritative
parenting is not authoritarian:rigid，demanding or controlling. Rather，an authoritative parenting style
includes some of the following characteristics:children feel warmth and love from their father；
responsibility and the reasons behind rules are stressed children are given an appropriate level of
autonomy(自主权).
In the study，about 52 percent of the dads exhibited above-average levels of authoritative
parenting. A key finding is that over time，children raised by an authoritative father were significantly
more likely to develop persistence，which leads to better outcomes in school.
This particular study examined 11 to 14-year-olds living in two-parent homes. Yet the researchers
suggest that single parents still may play a role in teaching the benefits of persistence，which is an
avenue of future research.
4．What is special about the BYU professors' study?
A．It centered on fathers' role in parenting.
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂B．It was based on a number of large families.
C．It analyzed different kinds of parenting styles.
D．It aimed to improve kids' achievement in school.
5．What would an authoritative father do when raising his children?
A．Ignore their demands. B．Make decisions for them.
C．Control their behaviors. D．Explain the rules to them.
6．Which group can be a focus of future studies according to the researchers?
A．Single parents.
B．Children aged from 11 to 14.
C．Authoritarian fathers.
D．Mothers in two-parent homes.
7．Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A．Three Characteristics of Authoritative Fathers.
B．Key Skills for Young Adults to Succeed in Future.
C．Children Tend to Learn Determination from Father.
D．Family Relationship Influences School Performance.

Britain’s first zero-carbon homes are being built—and they look like something from a science-
fiction movie.
There are 25 eco-friendly homes currently being built in Southmoor, near Abingdon, Oxon. Buyers
are able to have the final say on floor layouts，kitchens and bathrooms. One three-bedroom home is on
the market for￡801 ,000,with a custom build available to suit your own specification. These eco-
friendly houses are powered entirely by electricity from solar panels around the houses. They also have
advanced ventilation (通风) systems, making sure that temperatures inside the building don’t go
beyond 25℃ for more than 10% of hours annually, as well as mini heat pumps to generate the heating
and hot water on-site. Part of the cooling design includes avoiding east-or west-facing windows, and
window shading.
And they’re in high demand. Ian Pritchett, of Ssassy Property, thinks the Government should do
more to promote the construction of this type of housing. “Unfortunately, the Government relaxed the
proposed 2016 zero-carbon targets after being lobbied(游说)by house builders,” Ian explained. “At
present, the main house-building corporations control the land and only build at the rate they are sure
will sell, keeping the UK’s housing shortage so that the normal rules of ‘supply and demand’ don’t
apply. When there is a shortage of housing, buyers have to purchase what is available rather than what
they might want.”
In any sensible society, we would expect the planning system to actively encourage zero-carbon
houses，and he tough on anyone failing to deliver the necessary standard. Instead, we have a planning
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂system that focuses on other aspects such as numbers of bedrooms, garden sizes, and parking places.
These are important aspects, but they pale into insignificance compared to the catastrophic
consequences of climate change.
8．What can a purchaser do before buying the type of housing?
A．Negotiate its price. B．Choose where to build it.
C．Decide how the inside of it looks. D．Design its ventilation.
9．How do people react to the zero-carbon homes?
A．Welcome. B．Uncaring. C．Skeptical. D．Demanding.
10．What do house-building companies intend to do?
A．Balance the “supply and demand” of houses.
B．Purchase more land to stop climate change.
C．Build more houses powered by the sun.
D．Make it more difficult to buy houses.
11．What’s the author’s attitude to the Government’s planning system?
A．Satisfied. B．Disapproving.
C．Worried. D．Ambiguous.

Port Lympne Reserve, which runs a breeding programme, has welcomed the arrival of a rare black
rhino calf (犀牛幼崽). When the tiny creature arrived on January 31, she became the 40th black rhino
to be born at the reserve. And officials at Port Lympne were delighted with the new arrival, especially
as black rhinos are known for being difficult to breed in captivity (圈养).
Paul Beer, head of rhino section at Port Lympne, said: “Obviously we’re all absolutely delighted to
welcome another calf to our black rhino family. She’s healthy, strong and already eager to play and
explore. Her mother, Solio, is a first-time mum and she is doing a fantastic job. It’s still a little too cold
for them to go out into the open, but as soon as the weather warms up, I have no doubt that the little one
will be out and about exploring and playing every day.”
The adorable female calf is the second black rhino born this year at the reserve, but it is too early to
tell if the calves will make good candidates to be returned to protected areas of the wild. The first rhino
to be born at Port Lympne arrived on January 5 to first-time mother Kisima and weighed about 32kg.
His mother, grandmother and great grandmother were all born at the reserve and still live there.
According to the World Wildlife Fund, the global black rhino population has dropped as low as
5500, giving the rhinos a “critically endangered” status.
12．Which of the following best describes the breeding programme?
A．Costly. B．Controversial. C．Ambitious. D．Successful.
13．What does Paul Beer say about the new-born rhino?
A．She loves staying with her mother. B．She dislikes outdoor activities.
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂C．She is in good condition D．She is sensitive to heat.
14．What similar experience do Solio and Kisima have?
A．They had their first born in January. B．They enjoyed exploring new places
C．They lived with their grandmothers. D．They were brought to the reserve young
15．What can be inferred about Porn Lympne Reserve?

Boys like to be considered to be brave, but what kind of things can be considered to be brave? It is
not a question that can be answered by words, but by the actual deed. A boy with the name Henry gave
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂us a good example. Ronny and Henry were two friends in the same class. They always played together
and went home together. One day as Ronny and Henry were going home after school, they saw some
people fighting in the street corner. Ronny said excitedly, “Some people are fighting! Let’s go and have
a look!” But Henry refused, “It’s none of our business. We’d better go home and don’t get close to
them. Also our parents are expecting to have dinner with us together at home and I don’t want them to
worry about me.”
“You are a coward, and afraid to go,” said Ronny, and off he ran to the spot with some other boys.
Henry had to go home alone and didn't think about it anymore.
But Ronny thought Henry was a coward and told all the boys that. They laughed at him a great
deal. From then on, they looked down upon Henry and didn’t want to play with him.
Henry was sad but he wasn’t angry with Ronny for his rude behavior, because he had learned that
true courage was shown most in bearing misunderstanding when it was not deserved, and that he ought
to be afraid of nothing but doing wrong. Thus, he just ignored the other boys’ laughter and continued to
stick to his thought and go to school and study as well. However, Ronny didn’t invite Henry to go home
with him anymore. Instead, he had his new friends who also thought Henry was a coward. Every day
after school, they didn't go home directly but went to the river or somewhere to play games and had lots
of fun.
