You may use a piano or any other musical instrument, if someone can play it. You may use a tape recorder(錄音機). You can even use a radio.

The game is easy. When the music starts, the players walk around the chairs . Everyone goes in the same direction, of course, they should walk in time to the music. If the music is fast, they should walk quickly. If the music is slow, they should walk slowly.

The person playing music cannot see the people in the game. When the music stops, the players try to sit on the chair. If a person cannot find a chair to sit on, he drops out. Then, before the music starts again, one chair must be taken away. When the music stops again, one more player will be out.

Like all big cities, Paris has a traffic problem: lots of cars, lots of traffic jams and lots of pollution from exhaust fumes (廢氣). So the city began a project to improve the situation.

Under the Velib project (‘Velib’ comes from vélo liberté, or ‘bicycle freedom’) people can take a bicycle, use it for as long as they want, and then leave it at the same or another bicycle station. The first half-hour on the bike is free, but if you don’t return it after 30 minutes, you have to pay. But it’s only ?1 a day or ?29 a year! The bicycles are heavy (25 kg), and they are all grey and have baskets. There are about 20,000 of them in the city, and around 1,450 bicycle stations. So there are a lot more Velib stations than the 298 subway stations!

Paris is not the first city to have a project like this. But not everybody thinks it’s a great idea. One Parisian said, “These bicycles are only for short journeys. If people want to travel across the city, they won’t use a bicycle — they’ll still use their cars.”

A city spokesman said, “The bicycle project won’t solve all our traffic problems, of course. But it might help reduce air pollution. Traffic, together with factory fumes, is a big problem. There aren’t any simple answers to traffic problems and pollution in cities. But unless we do something now, there will be more traffic jams and temperatures will continue to rise, so the problems in our environment will get worse. The bikes might help people to lead a healthier life, too.”

1.What can we learn about the Velib project?

A. Its bikes have no baskets.

B. Its bikes are light and colorful.

C. It aims to make traveling easier.

D. It owns more stations than the subway.

2.If you use a Velib for 1 hour, you should pay ______.

A. Free. B. ?1.

C. ?29. D. ?30.

3.Why do some people disagree with the Velib project?

A. The cost is rather high.

B. It’s hard to find a Velib station.

C. It’s not suitable for a long journey.

D. The distance between two Velib stations is long.

4.What’s the city spokesman’s attitude towards the bicycle project?

A. Worried. B. Positive.

C. Uncaring. D. Doubtful.

It is widely acknowledge that cities with some kind of functioning ecosystems make for better place for humans to live. More plants and animals in cities make for happier, healthier people.

A study conducted on green spaces in Sheffield, England, for instance, revealed that the greater the biodiversity（生物多樣性）, the greater the psychological well-being（健康）of the city’s citizens. In Paris, researchers found that getting citizens to take part in day-long activities involving urban wildlife opened their eyes to the natural world for a time, at least.

Few cities have been associated with urban ecology for as Berlin. “Slow economic recovery after the Second World War meant that reconstruction would take a long time. This provide local ecologist with the ideal conditions to develop an ambitious ecological research program in the bombed-out wastelands of West Berlin,” said Jens Lachmund, a sociologist at the University of Maastricht in the Netherlands.

The pioneering work in Berlin had several consequences, especially the formation of significant natural spaces within the city, such as the Sudgelande Nature. “Berlin has indeed benefited a lot from being a case study in urban ecology,” said Lachmund.

The recent research conducted by Mark Goddard, a biologist at the University of Leeds, and his colleagues confirmed the important of natural space within an urban setting. Goddard and his team conducted a striking global analysis of bird and plant diversity, quantifying the influence of urbanization on levels of biodiversity around the world. “Functioning urban ecosystems will be extremely important to human health and well-being,” said Goddard.

Cities take up just 3% of the land surface area, yet according to the most recent figure from the United Nations, some 3.6 billion people (just over 50% of the global population) now live in urban areas. By 2050, this figure is expected it rise to 6.3 billion. Without animals and plants to keep us company, it is a dark future.

1.The findings in Paragraph 2 are mentioned to explain the between_____.

A. citizens and their well-being

B. green spaces and urban wildlife

C. Urban ecology and citizens’ well-being

D. Functioning ecosystems and the natural world

2.What would be Goddard’s attitude towards Berlin’s work?

A. Cautious. B. Negative.

C. Uncaring. D. Admiring.

3.The author uses figures in the last paragraph to show______.

A. The negative effect of over population.

B. The important of urban ecosystems.

C. The serious problems of city life.

D. The rapid growth of urban areas.

4.Which of the following can be the best text?

A. Should more people live in urban areas?

B. Should Berlin have more natural spaces?

C. Should cities be for animals and plants too?

D. Should the global population be controlled now?

A conflict at work is common.If you can avoid conflict,it means you will win what you want regardless of what the other person wants.Since the potential problem has not been removed,it will simply reappear later.1.

◆Be aware of the fact that some conflicts are unavoidable at work.On many occasions（場合）,conflict and disagreement are likely to happen.But when a conflict happens it is not the end of the world.2.Conflicts mean that people care enough to disagree strongly.The trick is not to allow the conflict to go on forever.

◆3.Solve a conflict when it starts,as it only gets worse with time going by.Everyone is waiting for the other to admit he or she is wrong and gets more unpleasant after the conflict has lasted a while.It is necessary to interrupt the "waiting game" before it gets to that point.

◆Ask nicely.If somebody has done something that makes you angry,or if you don't understand their viewpoints or actions,simply asking nicely about them can make a world of difference.Never assume that people do what they do to annoy or hurt you.Sometimes there is a good reason why that person does what he or she does,and a potential conflict disappears right there.4.

◆Appreciate.5.Tell them why it is worth it to you to solve the conflict.This can be difficult as few people find it easy to appreciate a person they disagree strongly with,but it is a great way to move forward.

A.Praise the other part in the conflict

B.Deal with conflicts sooner rather than later.

C.Invite the other person to talk about the situation.

D.Do remember to make an enquiry,not an accusation of any sort.

E.Here are the necessary steps to effectively get rid of conflicts at work

F.On the contrary,it can be the beginning of an interesting learning process.

G.Clear thinking is unlikely to happen while an argument continues to boil over.
