Patrick Goulet used to be a bike racer, hanging out with his e-bike. Now he is retired, and he and his wife want to travel through Europe by e-bike next year. They were inspired by Garyand Rachel Corbett, an Australian couple who set the world record e-biking 27, 800 through Europe and the UK.

But his wife Claire is not a former bike racer, although she does bike everywhere in town and they do not own a car. This is where e-bikes come into play.

Patrick said, " My wife can't do this with a record bike but with the help of an electric motor. My wife enjoys traveling with her bike to work every day but when she faces strong winds and hills she gets very disappointed. The e-bike has changed all that, no more problems with the strong winds and hills."

Patrick’s words made me deep in thought. When younger I did a bike camping trip from Toronto Vancouver, throwing stuff away every day to lighter. The struggle against the wind on the way was the hardest thing I ever did. A motor would have changed that; it would have let me carry more stuff, in greater comfort. I imagine that e-bike camping is a different experience entirely.

Nowadays, many provinces and states start building those bike lanes because there are going to be a lot more people doing this. I am more convinced every day that e-bikes are going to get close to everyone, changing our cities and changing the world.

4. What makes Patrick and his wife plan to travel through Europe?

A. Their skill in riding bikes.   

B Taking part in bike races.

C. Rachel Corbett's encouragement.

D. An Australian couple’s experience.

5. What trouble does Claire face when riding a bike?

A. Lack of a strong body.

B. Extreme natural conditions.

C. The misuse of electric motors.

D. Too much stuff carried.

6.The author's bike camping story is mentioned to_______.

A. show the fun of camping by bike             B. advise people to ride outdoors

C. tell the trouble of riding a bike               D impress e-bikes’ advantages

C

“Getting your eight hours” is one of those suggestions, like drinking plenty of water or not to swim in canals, that most people take at face value.

When former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was reported to need only five hours’ sleep a night, it was taken as evidence of a near-supernaturally tough body.

And it's become an increasingly common view that too much work and stress and missing out on our eight hours is a modern disaster.

But the good news, says Prof. Jim Horne, director of Loughborough University’s Sleep Research Centre, is that we don't need eight hours at all.

“It's nonsense. It's like saying everybody should have size eight shoes, or be five foot eight inches. There is a normal distribution(分布)-the average sleep length is seven and a quarter hours.”

Lots of people report having more or less than the average, he said. It may all be put down to genes, and what people are accustomed to. The US National Sleep Foundation suggests seven to nine hours a night is advisable for adults, and a survey it conducted in 2002 suggested three-quarters of Americans had problems sleeping and a third were so sleepy during the day that their activities were affected. The foundation says, “In the past century, we have reduced our average time in sleep. Though our society has changed, our brains and bodies have not. Sleep deprivation(缺乏) is affecting us all and we are paying the price.”But Prof. Horne says, “The test of insufficient(不足的) sleep is whether you are sleepy in the day or if you remain alert through most of the day.”

In a nutshell, if you sleep for eight hours a night and go to work and find yourself tired on the keyboard, you aren't getting enough. If you're sleeping five hours and running the country, you probably are getting enough

7. According to Prof. Jim Horne,__________.

A. the average sleep length is too long

B. we should sleep at least seven hours

C. we should sleep no more than nine hours

D. different people need different sleep hours

8.What's the attitude of the US National Sleep Foundation towards people's sleep deprivation?

A. Greatly concerned.

B. Greatly doubtful.

C. A little surprised.

D.A little confused.

9. What should be used to judge whether we lack sleep or not according to Prof. Jim Horne?

A. Our average sleep length.

B. Our physical and mental state.

C. Our total number of sleep hours.

D. Our performance at school and work.

10. What does the last paragraph intend to tell us?

A. The number of sleep hours alone doesn't make sense.

B. Long hours' sleep can’t guarantee your good performance.

C. Short hours’ sleep doesn't necessarily affect your work.

D. Sleep hours don't make much difference to your performance.

Have event reminders( 提醒) on your phone and computer.14       . Start your day by writing a list of what you plan to achieve. And sometimes we also need to let go of things that aren't important

作文范文：

Dear Jim，

I do understand how you feel. The outbreak of the

novel coronavirus is a big challenge to every one of us. Please don't be so anxious. With everybody standing together, I'm sure we can defeat the virus.

We can do our bit in this battle! I'd like to share what I have done in the past three months. To help prevent the virus from spreading, I have responded to the government's call and stayed at home with my families. While keeping an eye on the situation, I have been studying  with the help of the online course offered by our school. Communicating with my teachers and classmates online, I have never felt lonely.Besides, I have kept on doing some indoor sports to keep fit and helped my mom with the housework.

Not going out is my way to fight the virus. Thinking of the medical staff, we have no reason not to discipline ourselves. We need to thank them and at the same time, treasure our life.

Please take care of yourself. Keep calm and carry on!

Yours

Li Hua
