17、ties appear modern, dynamic and world-widequalities much sought after by the creative class.But what makes for a successful public bike-sharing program? This is an important question because installing one requires significant public and private investment and adjustment to the built environment.Whi

18、le many programs have been launched among much praise, often their popularity has soon declined. Many end up operating at a financial loss and depend on other profitable enterprises to cross-subsidize(交叉补贴) them. Some have resulted in thrown-away bikes becoming an eyesore.Understanding which factors

19、 enhance or stop public bike sharing is critical in helping cities decide whether such a program is workable, before considering what design and sitting will work best.Drawing on current knowledge, we discuss the importance of the local landscape, climate, cycling infrastructure (基础设施) and land use.

20、 We also touch on other factors, such as the legal environment and the characteristics of the bike-sharing program itself.Take natural environment for example. Two natural environment factors are known to affect participation: hilliness and weather. Hilliness discourages balanced bike-sharing use, a

21、s users avoid returning bicycles to stations on hilltops. Those stations end up being empty, while stations on flat areas are often full, so users cannot find a station to return their bikesAs for weather, ideal temperature ranges vary by the climate zone. Case - 6 -studies show warm and dry weather

22、 encourages public bike-sharing use. Rain and strong wind reduce the frequency of trips.

Perfect cycling infrastructure.CFor many, music is as important to the human experience as eating and breathing. We hear music everywhereat home, the gym, parties and stores. But what kind of mu

26、sic do we prefer to listen to, and when and why do our musical preferences change?The relationship between the change of seasons and musical preferences was the focus of a study led by psychologist Terry Pettijohn. He and his team based their research on a previous study that examined the relationsh

27、ip between - 7 -popular music preferences and the Environmental Security Hypothesis(假设). The results showed that over time, when social and financial conditions were more risky, the songs of the year that were slower, longer, more comforting and serious were most popular. And during periods in which

28、 social and financial conditions were generally stable, the result was opposite.Building on these findings, Pettijohn and his team wondered if the Hypothesis could also be applied to the change of seasons. For college students, the participants in this study, autumn begins at the start of the school

29、 year. Gone are the carefree days of summer, when school is out. Winter means colder temperatures, shorter days, and, in many places in the country, snow. Spring, however, is a different story. It represents a fresh start and when clocks spring forward, we gain an extra hour of daylight. As students

To answer this question, the researchers designed two studies. What did they find? Both groups of college students favored more ser

31、ious music during the seasons of fall and winter, and more active and energetic music during the spring and summer seasons. And these findings, Pettijohn argues, have practical significances.28.

34、r time.31. How does Pettijohn feel about the findings of his studies?A. Its unexpected. B. Its humorous.C. Its discouraging. D. Its significant.DThere was a rich merchant(商人)who had 4 wives. He loved the 4th wife the most. He gave her nothing but the best. He also loved the 3rd wife very much. Hes v

35、ery proud of her and always wanted to show her off to his friends. He too, loved his 2nd wife.

Then a voce called out: “Ill leave with you. Ill follow you no matter where you go.” The merchant looked up and said, “I should have taken

38、much better care of you while I could have!”Actually, we all have 4 wives in our lives. The 4th wife is our body. No matter how much time and effort we spend in making it look good, itll leave us when we die.- 9 -Our 3rd wife is our possessions, status and wealth. When we die, they all go to others.

39、The 2nd wife is our family and friends. No matter how close they had been there for us when were alive, the furthest they can stay by us is up to the grave(坟墓).The 1st wife is in fact our soul, often ignored in our search of material, wealth and pleasure. Guess what? It is actually the only thing th
