     Considered one of Europe's two "bicycle capitals" along with Amsterdam, Copenhagen(哥本哈根)
counts more bicycles than people and cycling is so popular that its numerous bike paths can become
crowded. Two-wheeler traffic jams are especially regular on the main Noerrebrogade road used by
around 36,000 cyclists a day. "You have to elbow your way in to go forward and some cyclists aren't
always thoughtful," complains 22-year-old university student Lea Bresell.
     The creation of bike highways "comes right on time", says Danish Cyclist Federation Spokesman
Frits Bredal. "Copenhagen's roads are overloaded with people who want to ride their bicycles in all
kinds of weather," he says. "If in the 1960s Danes viewed the car as the symbol of freedom, the bicycles
have supposed that role today," Bredal says. "It's a mode of transportation used by all social classes,
even politicians ride bikes," he says.
     It is on crowded Noerrebrogade-the busiest bicycle street in Europe, according to the cyclist
association-that city planners have decided to build the first of Copenhagen's environmentally friendly
roads. The jammed bike paths will be widened up to four metres on either side of the road, which itself
will be reserved for bikes only. The idea is to make Noerrebrogade "Europe's great cycling street", says
Andreas Roehl, Copenhagen government's bicycle program manager who is also known as "Mr. Bike".
     But Roehl is not content with making life easier for Copenhagen's inner-city cyclists: He wants to get
suburbanites(郊区居民) out of their cars and onto two wheels as well. His goal is to hike the percentage
of suburban commuters cycling to and from the city from the 37 percent it is today to 50 percent by 2015.
1.    Why does Copenhagen plan to build the first bike highway?
A. Because bike highways are environmentally friendly.
B. Because it's a part of the city's development program.
C. Because the inner-city commuters urge that it should be built.
D. Because too many bicycles cause the paths to be crowded.
2.    Why do people in Copenhagen want to ride their bicycles in all kinds of weather?
A. Because the price of petrol has been going up all the time.
B. Because the bicycle is viewed as the symbol of freedom nowadays.
C. Because it's hard for people to find parking space in crowded streets.
D. Because politicians ride bikes and commuters enjoy following them.
3.    The underline word "mode" in the second paragraph probably means?
A. fashion                          
B. improvement
C. reform                          
D. law
4.    Which of the following is NOT included in Andreas Roehl's plan?
A. The former jammed bike paths will be widened.
B. Noerrebrogade is to be made "Europe's great cycling street".
C. All commuters will be pushed to leave their cars at home.
D. More suburbanites will be got out of their cars and onto two wheels.

　　A senior executive of the world's largest mobile phone maker Nokia is appealing(申诉) a record $103, 600 fine for speeding because his income has dropped, Finnish media and officials said.

     The Japanese government has launched a campaign encouraging people to go to bed and get up extra early
in order to reduce household carbon dioxide emissions.
     The Morning Challenge campaign, made public by the Environment Ministry, is based on the premise (前提)
that exchanging late night electricity for an extra hour of morning sunlight could significantly cut the nation's
carbon footprint.
     A typical family can reduce its carbon dioxide footprint by 85kg a year if everyone goes to bed and gets up
one hour earlier, according to the campaign.
     The amount of carbon dioxide emissions potentially saved from going to bed an hour early was the
equivalent of 20 percent of annual emissions from household lights, "Many Japanese people waste electric
power at night time, for example by watching TV until very late," a ministry spokesperson told The Daily
Telegraph.
     "But going to bed early and getting up early can avoid wasting electrical power which causes carbon
dioxide emissions. If people change their lifestyle, we can save energy and reduce emissions." The campaign
also proposes that people take advantage of an extra hour of morning sunlight by improving their lifestyles in
general by running, doing yoga and eating a nutritious breakfast.
     It is the latest measure dealing with climate change by the Japanese Environment Ministry, which is faced
with the challenge of reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 25 per cent from 1990 levels within the next
decade.
      It was the same government department that started the high profile (姿态) Cool Biz campaign five years
ago, which encourages workers to wear short-sleeved shirts and offices not to turn air con lower than 28
degrees during the summer.
1. What does Morning Challenge claim is the purpose of its campaign?
A. To promote a healthier lifestyle.
B. To encourage people to watch less TV.
C. To reduce household carbon dioxide emissions.
D. To show the sense of responsibility of the Japanese government.
2. The Japanese government has to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in the next ten years by _____ on
the 1990 levels.
A. 20%
B. 25%
C. 85%
D. 28%
3. Which of the following is TRUE according to the article?
A. The Japanese government is the first government to deal with the environmental problem.
B. Carbon dioxide emissions are more serious in Japan than in any other country.
C. The Japanese Environment Ministry is responsible for climate change.
D. The purpose of Cool Biz campaign is similar to that of the Morning Challenge.
