The Crowne Plaza Hotel in Copenhagen is offering a free meal to any guest who is able to produce electricity for the hotel on an exercise bike linked to a generator (发电机)，The idea is to get people fit and reduce their carbon footprint. Guests will have to produce at least 10 watt hours of electricity — roughly 15 minutes of cycling for someone of average fitness. Guests staying at Plaza Hotel will be given meat tickets worth $36 once they have produced 10 watt hours of electricity. The bicycles will have smart phones attached to the handlebars measuring how much power is being generated for the hotel.

The plan, a world-first, will start on 19 April and run for a year. Only guests staying at the hotel will be able to take part. Frederikke Toemmergaard, hotel spokeswoman, said, “Many of our visitors are business people who enjoy going to the gym. There might be people who will cycle just to get a free meal, but generally I don’t think people will take advantage of our programme,”

Copenhagen has a long-standing cycling tradition and 36% of locals cycle to work each day, one of the highest percentages in the world, according to the website visitcopenhagen.dk. US environmental website treehugger.com recently voted Copenhagen the world’s best city for cyclists. “Because Copenhagen is strongly connected with cycling, we felt the bicycle would work well as a symbol of the hotel’s green profile (形象)."

If successful, the electric bicycle meal programme will be spread to all Crowne Plaza hotels in the UK, the hotel said in a statement.

1.What is the main purpose of the free meal programme?

A. To promote the hotel's green concept.

B. To make the city known to the world.

C. To attract people to the hotel restaurant.

D. To get guests to stay longer at the hotel.

2.How can a participant get a free meal?

A. By becoming a professional cyclist.

B. By cycling to produce some electricity.

C. By linking a smart phone to a bicycle.

D. By monitoring his or her carbon footprint.

3.Who are most likely to enter for the programme?

A. The poor local people.

B. The environment activists.

C. Health-conscious hotel guests.

D．Visitors fond of Copenhagen food.

4.According to paragraph 3, Copenhagen has one of the world's ________.

A. best chain hotels

Dear Tricia,

I’ve come back home safely. Looked back on my stay in Britain, I felt so happy and satisfied.

The beautiful scenery and friendly people impressed on me a lot. I also benefit a lot from learning together with the local students. Much important, your help and kindness made it easier for me to have better understanding of British culture but adapt to the life there. So please accept my thank for the help you have given me. By the way, attached to the letter is the photos taken with you, which I believe will remind you about the happy time we spent together. We are expected to come to China soon. Looking forward to your reply.

It’s the ending of 2016，but as USA Today says，“it’s never too late to plan your 2016 travels”．With so many hot destinations around the globe，“where should I go?” can be difficult to answer. According to Lonely Planet，though，Brazil is a fine choice－on Aug.29，the travel guide named that country the top one to visit in 2016.

“As if endless strands of coast and mountains，splashed with rainforest didn’t already add up to an unfair share of heaven (天堂)，Brazil will hold two of the greatest sporting events in the world，beginning with the 2014 FIFA World Cup and followed by the 2016 Summer Olympics，”explained Lonely Planet.

Brazil is the largest and most populous country in South America. It boasts(自豪拥有) the Amazon，the world’s largest jungle，which is home to a variety of plants and animals. But the great landscape is not the only thing Brazilians take pride in.

The colors green and yellow might make most people think of Brazil’s soccer team even more than its national flag. Soccer is more than a sport in Brazil；it’s a way of life. In fact，the World Cup brings Brazilians together. It is interesting to note，that the general elections(大选) in Brazil are usually held during the same year as the World Cup. Political parties try to take advantage of the patriotic enthusiasm created by soccer to inspire political energy.

Alongside soccer，samba is another symbol of Brazil. The country’s most traditional dance is highlighted every February at the Rio Carnival，which is one of the world’s biggest.

“Brazil has left its second-class nation status，” said former Brazilian president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva in 2009 after Rio de Janeiro was awarded the 2016 Olympics.

Brazil’s growing economy，fueled (刺激) by oil and aircraft factories，has made it more than just a nation of samba，soccer and beaches. These days，it might just be the best tourist destination in the world.

1.Which is true about Brazil?

A. It will hold the FIFA World Cup and the Summer Olympics in 2016.

B. Soccer and samba are two symbols of the country.

C. It is the largest country with the longest history in South America.

D. Its Amazon is the world’s largest jungle, Brazilians take pride in only.

2.We can tell from the words of Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva that ________.

A. his country will be the first class nation status after the 2016 Olympics

B. his country has been left behind by other second-class nations

C. he is confident that his country has developed very fast

D. the 2016 Olympics, not samba or soccer, has made his country the first class

3.The author’s purpose in writing the article is to ________.

A. prove that Lonely Planet’s recommendation is right

B. give an introduction of Brazil as a tourist destination

C. give an objective review of Brazil as a nation

D. explain why Brazil will be holding the two sporting events
