3.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 for 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 go for the length of time you use the bike.
Transport for London,which runs the scheme,is hoping to have 6,000bikes and 400docking station 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 bikes properly and that their usage of the bikes had not been registered.Transport for London did admit they had been expecting a few"teething problems"and 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."

16.Getting less sleep has become a bad habit for most American kids.According to a new survey(调查) by the National Sleep Foundation,51% of kids aged 10 to 18 go to bed at 10 pm or later on school nights,even though they have to get up early.Last year the Foundation reported that nearly 60% of 7-to 12-year-olds said they felt tired during the day,and 15% said they had fallen asleep at school.
How much sleep you need depends a lot on your age.Babies need a lot of rest:most of them sleep about 18 hours a day!Adults need about eight hours.For most school-age children,ten hours is ideal(理想的).But the new National Sleep Foundation survey found that 35% of 10-to 12-year-olds get only seven or eight hours.And guess what almost half of the surveyed kids said they do before bedtime?Watch TV.
"More children are going to bed with TVs on,and there are more opportunities(机会) to stay awake,with more homework,the Internet and the phone,"says Dr.Mary Carskadon,a sleep researcher at Brown University Medical School.She says these activities at bedtime can  get kids all excited and make it hard for them to calm down and sleep.Other experts say part of the problem is chemical.Changing levels of body chemicals called hormones not only make teenagers'bodies develop adult characteristics,but also make it hard for teenagers to fall asleep before 11 pm.
Because sleepiness is such a problem for teenagers,some school districts have decided to start high school classes later than they used to.Three years ago,schools in Edina,Minnesota,changed the start time from 7:25 am to 8:30 am.Students,parents and teachers are pleased with the results.

15.The number of Japanese students in the Chinese mainland is more than those studying in the US,according to Japan's Ministry of Education,Culture,Sports,Science and Technology,a Taiwan news outlet reported on Monday.
Japan saw the peak of studying abroad in 2010 when 124,000 sought academic careers overseas.About 61,000 Japanese studied in the US in 2010,about half the total studying abroad.But since then,the number has decreased.In 2015,the number was down to only just over 20,000,about 20 percent of Japanese students being educated overseas.
The number of Japanese going to the Chinese mainland to study has been rising since 2009 and now surpasses the US.
An official spokesman said,"Choices are various for studying abroad nowadays,not just limited to the US.Many Japanese universities have an increasing number of exchange pro-grams with Chinese universities and Japanese companies now tend to prefer people with academic experience in Asia rather than the US or Europe as previously.Tuition fees (学费) are another reason.Annual fees in US universities are almost twice those charged by Chinese universities."
Some Japanese experts say the decline indicates young Japanese are satisfied with the domestic situation rather than preparing for challenges outside.

     (39)F We have done a lot of it since.Recently,we bought a twenty-eight-foot travel trailer complete with a bathroom and a built-in TV set.There is a separate bedroom,a modern kitchen with a refrigerator.The trailer even has matching carpet and curtains.
      (40)E It must be true that sooner or later,everyone finds his or her way back to nature.I recommend that you find your way in style.
