完形填空

  From time to time I received PC magazines from well meaning editors. Reading them, I recognized the 1 characters, but the whole thing is Creek to me. When faced with such publications, I think to myself, “They might 2 send newspapers or magazines to a blind person. ”I 3 to say it, but I have to admit I don't 4 know how to type, much 5 how to enjoy the Internet. Several times I've tried to learn to use a computer and each time I gave up 6 , for it is not really very user-friendly. I was afraid of all mechanical 7 , afraid of the keyboard and the jumping mouse. I was content with the 8 that my classmate, Bai Yansong, another prime time host, also wrote his articles by 9 . He told me that feeling the 10 of the pen 11 the surface of the paper gave him a kind of 12 . I had the 13 feeling and found it a good excuse not to use a computer. By 1999, however, I 14 felt this attitude was right. One day I went to my supervisor's(导师) home to 15 an article that was hand-written and a little muddily done. Hearing my 16 , the wife of my supervisor said, “It doesn't matter. I can type it out on my computer. ” “You can use a computer?”

  “Sure. I learned to use it when I was 70.”

  I was so 17 that I wasn't able to cry out a single word. 18 out of their flat, I made up my mind for the one-hundredth time to start learning to use a computer. I still had Bai Yansong to 19 me company, but once he started learning to use the computer, he would 20 very fast and then I would be really alone, wouldn't I?

San Francisco is going to do what many other cities have already done --- provide free bicycles to the public. The mayor of San Francisco supports the bicycle program. He wants to improve the terrible traffic problems in the city.

At first, 40 to 60 bikes will be available only to city workers. People will give their old bikes to the city to use in the program. If this program is successful, one day more than 1000 bicycles will be available. Everyone, not just city workers, will be able to use these bicycles.

People in Fresno, California already have a free bicycle program. In fact, this idea began in Amsterdam over 40 years ago. These programs encourage citizens to get out of their cars and onto pollution-free bikes.

Fresno’s Yellow Bike Program puts about fast bicycles around the city. The bikes are painted bright yellow so people know they can take them. When people take a yellow bike, they can ride to work or to shopping areas, and then leave the bike for the next rider.

Some people worry that the free bikes will be stolen. However, theft hasn’t been a problem in other free-bike cities.

While most people think the bike program is a good idea, only a few say they will use it. “I will still drive my car,” says Joanna Greene. “San Francisco has a lot of hills. My office is at the top of Potrero Hill. I don’t think I’m in good shape. And, wouldn’t I have to carry a helmet with me all the time?”

Phil Chung agrees, “There is too much traffic. Riding a bicycle can be dangerous. There are not very many bike lanes(自行车道).” He continues, “Plus, it’s too cold in the winter. And what if you ride a bike to work, and then there isn’t one to ride home?”

Program leaders know there will be problems. But they think it’s worth trying. “It’s not the solution for everyone,” states Sylvia Pass. “But if just one hundred people use it every day, that’s one hundred cars that aren’t on the streets, one hundred parking spaces that aren’t used. I think it’s a great beginning.”
