2．London has become a cycle friendly zone after the launch of a new bike hire scheme．It has been designed to encourage more people to cycle in and around central London．
So how does it work？First you have to sign up to the scheme to be sent a key．The key will unlock one of the bikes，which are kept at docking stations in and around central London．You have to pay an access fee for the key and then you pay as you go for the length of time you use the bike．
Transport for London，which runs the scheme，are hoping to have 6，000bikes and 400docking stations in place by the end of the year．The new hire system is hoping to ease congestion （拥挤） in London and is expected to create up to 40，000extra cycle trips a day into the city centre．London Mayor Boris Johnston launched the scheme and said London had been"filled with thousands of gleaming machines that will transform the look and feel of our streets and become as commonplace on our roads as black cabs and red buses"．
However，there have been a few problems since the scheme was launched last Friday．On the first day some people found they couldn't dock their bike properly and their usage of the bike had not been registered．Transport for London did admit they had been expecting a few"teething problems"and have said they wouldn't charge for the first day as a"gesture of goodwill"．Some other people have criticized the lack of docking stations and locks for the bikes as well as the price it costs to hire the bicycles．
Despite the comments，the green-thinking London Mayor still seems very positive about things，saying，"My campaign for the capital to become the greatest big cycling city in the world has taken a big pedal-powered push forwards．"

7．Can you believe your eyes？A recent experiment suggests that the answer to that question may depend on your age．
    Martin Doherty，a psychologist at the University of Stirling in Scotland，led the team of scientists．In this experiment，Doherty and his team tested the perception（观察力） of some people，using pictures of some orange circles．The researchers showed the same pictures to two groups of people．The first group included 151 children aged 4 to 10，and the second group included 24 adults aged 18 to 25．
The first group of pictures showed two circles alone on a white background．One of the circles was larger than the other，and these people were asked to identify the larger one．Four-year-olds identified the correct circle 79 percent of the time．Adults identified the correct circle 95 percent of the time．
Next，both groups were shown a picture where the orange circles，again of different sizes，were surrounded by gray circles．Here's where the trick lies in．In some of the pictures，the smaller orange circle was surrounded by even smaller gray circles-making the orange circle appear larger than the other orange circle，which was the real larger one．And the larger orange circle was surrounded by even bigger gray circles-so it appeared to be smaller than the real smaller orange circle．
When young children aged 4 to 6 looked at these tricky pictures，they weren't fooled-they were still able to find the bigger circle with roughly the same accuracy（准确性） as before．Older children and adults，on the other hand，did not do as well．Older children often identified the smaller circle as the larger one，and adults got it wrong most of the time．
As children get older，Doherty said，their brains may develop the ability to identify visual（视觉的） context．In other words，they will begin to process the whole picture at once：the tricky gray circles，as well as the orange circle in the middle．As a result，they're more likely to fall for this kind of visual trick．
25．Doherty and his team of scientists did an experiment to evaluateC．
A．children's and adults'eye-sight
B．children's and adults'brains
C．pe ople's ability to see accurately
D．the influence of people's age
26．When asked to find the larger circle，A．
A．children at 4 got it right about 79% of the time with gray ones around
B．only adults over 18 got it right 95% of the time with gray ones around
C．children at 6 got it wrong 79% of the time with no gray ones around
D．adults got it right most of the time with gray ones around
27．According to the passage，we can know thatC．
A．a smaller orange circle appears bigger on a white background
B．an orange circle appears bigger than a gray one of the same size
C．a circle surrounded by bigger ones looks smaller than its real size
D．a circle surrounded by other circles looks bigger than its real size
28．Why are younger children not fooled？D．
A．Because they are smarter than older children and adults．
B．Because older people are influenced by their experience．
C．Because people's eyes become weaker as they grow older．
D．Because their brain can hardly notice related things together．

4．Do you remember the man who contributed a lot to the understanding of British and American English？Noah Webster，born on October 16，1758，is known for The American Dictionary of the English Language．He has been called the"Father of American Scholarship and Education"．His"Blue-Backed Speller"books were used to teach spelling and reading to five generations of American children．But how much do you know about him beyond that？
At the age of 16，Noah Webster began attending Yale College．Unfortunately，he spent his four years at Yale during the American Revolutionary War，and，because of food shortages，many of his college classes were held in Glastonbury，Connecticut．Later，he served in the army．
Having graduated from Yale in 1778，Webster wanted to continue his education in order to earn his law degree．He had to teach school in order to pay for his education．He set up many small schools that didn't survive，but he was a good teacher because instead of forcing his students to learn，like most teachers did，he rewarded them．
He earned his law degree in 1781，but did not practice law until 1789．Once he started he found the law was not to his liking．Webster did not have much money．
In 1793，Alexander Hamilton lent him 1500to move to New York City to edit a newspaper．In December，he founded New York's first daily newspaper，American Minerva，and edited it for forty years．For decades，he published textbooks，political essays，a report on some diseases，and newspaper articles for his party，He wrote so much that a modern list of his published works required 655pages．
