15．China is a land of bicycles．At least it was back in 1992when I traveled the country．Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle．Millions of them，all black．Cars were rare．Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year，I've found the opposite is true．There are millions of cars．However，people still use their bicycles to get around．For many，it's the easiest and cheapest way to travel today．Bicycles also come in different colors---silver，green，red，blue，yellow，whatever you want．It's fun watching people biking．They rush quickly through crossroads，move skillfully through traffic，and ride even on sidewalks（人行道）．Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can't provide．
Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture，I decided to buy a bicycle．Great weather accompanied（陪伴） my great buy．I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home．
My first ride home was orderly （守秩序的）．To be safe，I stayed with a"pack"of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times．I didn't want to get hit．So I took the ride carefully．
Crossing the streets was the biggest problem．It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States．The streets here were wide，so crossing took time，skill and a little bit of luck．
I finally made it home．The feeling on the bicycle was amazing．The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful．I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people．Biking made me feel alive．

分析 中国在过去是自行车的王国，而现在仍然有很多人喜欢骑自行车出行，因为这种交通方式方便、省钱．为了融入这种文化，"我"也买了一辆自行车．但是在回家途中，发现骑车过街是最大的问题，需要时间、技巧和一点儿运气．但是骑行经历让"我"觉得很愉快、很有趣．
解答 29．A．细节理解题．根据第一段中的For many，it's the easiest and cheapest way to travel today．可知，自行车如今仍然很受欢迎，是因为它的便捷和经济．根据倒数第二段和倒数第三段的叙述可知，骑自行车并不安全，速度也不是很快；文章虽然提到了自行车的颜色多种多样，但这并不是它受欢迎的原因，故选A．
30．B．细节理解题．根据第三段第一句话Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture…可知，作者购买自行车是因为迫切地想融入中国的这种文化之中，故选B．
31．D．细节理解题．根据倒数第二段的叙述可知，骑车过街是最大的问题，需要时间、技巧和运气，因此作者认为骑车过街非常困难．其余选项均与本段内容不符；故选D．
32．B．推理判断题．由最后一段可知，空气吹拂脸颊和头发的感觉很美妙，骑行时就像坐在了世界的顶端，骑自行车使作者觉得充满了活力．由此可判断出，作者觉得骑自行车很有乐趣，故选B．
点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力，做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，再做出正确的选择．在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实，要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断．

14．Attitude is a way that we think and feel about someone，or a way that we behave．We all have great potential and we all desire good results from our efforts．Each of us has the ability to put our unique human potential into action and to acquire a desired result．But the one thing that determines the level of our potential，and that predicts the quality of the result we receive is our attitude．
With a positive attitude we experience pleasant and happy feelings．This brings brightness to the eyes，more energy，and happiness．Our whole being broadcasts good will and happiness．We believe we will have a bright future．Even our health is affected in a beneficial way．
A negative attitude creates unhappy feelings，moods and behavior．When the mind is negative，poisons are released into the blood，which cause more unhappiness and negativity．This is the way to failure，frustration and disappointment．
People can affect our attitude by teaching us poor thinking habits or unintentionally misinforming us or providing us with negative sources of influence，but no one can control our attitude unless we voluntarily give in to that control．No one else"makes us angry．"We make ourselves angry when we give in to control of our attitude．What someone else may have done is irrelevant．We choose，not they．They merely put our attitude to a test．If we select a changeable attitude by becoming unfriendly，angry，jealous or suspicious，then we have failed the test．If we condemn ourselves by believing that we are unworthy，then again，we have failed the test．
If we care at all about ourselves，then we must accept full responsibility for our own feelings．We must learn to guard against those feelings that have the possibility to lead our attitude down the wrong path and to strengthen those feelings that can lead us confidently into a better future．
If we want to receive the rewards the future holds in trust for us，then we must exercise the most important choice given to us as members of the human race by maintaining （维持） full control over our attitude．
Having the right attitude is one of the basics that success requires．The combination of a sound personal philosophy and a positive attitude about ourselves and the world around us gives us an inner strength and a firm resolve （决心） that influences all the other areas of our existence．
Attitude Is Everything
