Many Americans have been leaving their cars at home and riding to work on bicycles. Andy Clark is the leader of the League of American Bicyclists. His group supports bicycling for fun, fitness and transportation.

Clark says this is good news for the environment. He says riding a bicycle to work does not burn fossil fuel (能源) or creates dangerous pollutions. Experts say the effects are the most important on short trips. The Department of Transportation says fifty percent of Americans drive eight kilometers or fewer to work. Shorter car trips set out more pollution into the air for each kilometer drive. This is because the car engine will set out the harmful air when it warms up before it can work well.

James, a member of Congress (国会), is a strong supporter of bicycle use. He says cities, counties, state governments and state highway transportation agencies are planning the roadways of the future. They are creating roads and paths for bicycles in cities and between communities.

Last year, Portland, the Pacific Northwest city in the state of Oregon, had the highest percentage of bicycle users in the United States. Portland has been doing progressive city planning for many years to create special paths for bike riders.

One possible version:

Desire for No Examination

I have a lot of wishes. But what I desire most is to have no examinations.

We are always told that the aim of examinations is to check what we have learned. But I think examination is not the best way, especially in the primary school. Examinations will bring students, teachers and parents a great deal of pressure.

The students' scores can be measured by their daily in-class study and by the completion of their everyday homework. If we do in this way, all the students and teachers will have a pleasant time every day.

听下面一篇短文，短文后有几个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在答题卡上的相应位置。短文读两遍。

I’m Jane. My Uncle has a farm. It is near my home. My uncle grows rice and vegetables on the farm. There are many animals, such as sheep, cows, chickens and ducks. My classmates and I often go to the farm after school. We can play with the animals, walk, read books or help my uncle to do some farm work there. We like walking or doing some reading on the farm because the air there is nice and clean.

You can see a lake on the left of the farm. There are many fish in the lake. We often go fishing on Saturdays and Sundays. We often swim in the lake in summer and skate on it in winter, too.
