21、   Bike-sharing has swept across China, with a number of people choosing bike riding instead of driving. The bike has GPS on it and can be easily unlocked with a smart phone. Bike-sharing allows people to borrow a bike from one place and return it at another place easily.

In some cities, we can see more and more people riding this kind of sharing bikes. It’s very easy to use the bikes if you have a smart phone. First, you have to download such an APP on your smart phone. Then what you need to do is to find a nearest bike through the APP, scan the QR code (二维码) on the bike. You will find the bike can be unlocked itself.

Then you can enjoy your trip. What’s more, you can easily find one and never worry about where to park it. The cost of riding depends on the time that you spend. Normally, every hour you ride, you need to pay one yuan. It doesn’t cost so much, does it?

At (he same time, some people park the bikes in their own homes. Besides, some people don’t value the bikes. Now service companies are trying to solve the problem like being stolen.

Technology and science have changed our social lifestyles. And we also hope that people can not only enjoy it but also put it to good use.

22、Ways to Predict the Weather Without a Forecast

Most of us know about the weather from the weather report. However, we can know the weather by ourselves. It is a fun hobby, and it can also be a useful skill if you enjoy outdoor activities, such as hiking or camping. By learning what to look for, you can predict(预测) the weather.

▲Watch the Wind and Air.

Observe the direction(方向) of wind. Wind comes when air moves. Since weather moves in from the west, westerly winds bring good weather. Easterly winds suggest that the bad weather is coming toward you.

You can use grass or flower petals(花瓣) to decide the direction of the wind. Throw your grass or flower petals into the air and watch the direction of the wind.

▲Watch smoke from a fire.

The air pressure(压力) decides what direction the smoke will go. In high pressure high up in the sky, the smoke will go up into the air. If the pressure is low, it will be back down around the fire. If you see the smoke back down, bad weather is likely on the way.

▲Take a deep breath.

Close your eyes and smell the air. Smells become wet right before a storm, making them stronger. Before a storm, you should also notice a compost(堆肥) smell as plants release(释放) their waste. If you start to smell this, it likely means that a storm is coming.

【1】The underlined word “Observe” means ________.

A．have

B．play

C．watch

D．smell

【2】Which of the following is true?

A．The grass stands still in the wind.

B．The flower petals can’t tell us anything about the weather.

C．The air pressure is the same in all the places.

D．You can smell the air to know about the weather.

【3】The main idea is about _________.

A．the wind is strong

B．how to tell the weather

C．how to get home earlier

D．how to travel

23、Shirley, an elephant, has something to say. She opens her mouth and speaks. The nearby elephants understand the sound, but it is just noise to me.

What is Shirley exactly saying? Scientists are not sure, but they are trying to find out how elephants communicate. I visited Shirley at the Elephant Sanctuary (避难所) in Hohenwald, Tennessee. The sanctuary is home of Shirley and five other elephants —Bunny, Jenny, Sissy, Tarra and Winkie. All six animals were once in zoos or circuses (马戏团). Now they walk freely in the forests.

A noisy group

Not all the elephants speak like Shirley. Tarra speaks like a sea lion when she is happy. Bunny squeaks (吱吱叫) often. I soon get used to hearing the different voices of the elephants. When one gray giant comes close to me, I know which elephant it is.

Elephants also communicate in a way that people can’t hear. Scientists believe that elephant’s sound can travel for miles. Elephants in a group use it to keep in touch when they are alone.

       Old friends

       The elephants speak to one another for the same reasons people talk. Sometimes they even shout with excitement. When Shirley first came to the sanctuary, Jenny looked at her and began to shout. Shirley shouted back. At first, the animal keepers had no idea what it was about. Later, they discovered that Shirley and Jenny had stayed together for 20 years earlier in a circus. They still knew each other.
