【题目】 Sometimes we throw apple remains into forests, hoping small animals around may find them. But what if they are never noticed? People believe they would rot (腐烂) one day. So it doesn’t matter. Is that true?

Sure they will. But it won’t happen overnight.

Marjorie Woodruff, works in the Grand Canyon, set up a small experiment. She put a banana peel (), orange peels in a box, wide enough to allow small animals to go in and out. After six months, the orange peels had dried out, the banana had turned black. Nothing had been eaten or had rotted.

She buried the same things in sand and soil and six months later everything could still be seen.

In fact, it takes two months for apple remains to rot and an orange peel can take up to one year.

“Do we eat orange peels? We do not. So why would a squirrel (松鼠) eat?” Woodruff writes in High Country News, “The animals do just fine on nuts and berries. They do not need us.”

There’s another point to think about.

When animals start to get food from people, they may stop looking for their own food in nature. This is dangerous because it may weaken their hunting ability. Besides, they need different food.

Food waste also attracts animals to areas where there are a lot of people, says the Leave No Trace organization. This may put their life in danger as they may get used to looking for food alongside busy roads. Many of them are too small to be noticed by drivers.

When you’re throwing fruit remains, you may be fined (罚款). Fines are different. Some states might only fine people $100, but a few states fine people more than $6,000 for a first time.

1Where does Marjorie Woodruff work?

2How long does it take for apple remains to rot?

3Which animal is mentioned?

4How much might you be fined at least if you throw fruit remains?

5Why can’t we give food waste to animals?

【题目】 About thirty years ago, China was known as the “Bicycle Kingdom”. But the two-wheeled transports were soon replaced by their fuel-powered competitors ( 对手).

Recently, normal bikes are seen across China, with an increasing number of people choosing riding instead of driving to schools, to workplace or to go sightseeing. The introduction of bike-sharing plan, led by new companies, like Ofo and Mobike, has brought the heat to a new level.

According to the research made the first week of this year, there were about 5.85 million users of Mobike while Ofo had 1.4 million users. People can unlock the shared bikes by using their Smartphones. The bikes are set with GPS and can be left anywhere in public for the next user. They are popular among many Chinese people as they provide an effective way to the“last mile” problem, which means the final part of a person’s journey. “In places where the underground cannot reach, where it’s difficult to change from one kind of transport to another, it’s so easy to get where you want to go with Mobike,” Hu Hong, 29, told AFP. She rides to her Shanghai Company every day.

However, the plans also have some problems, such as illegal( 违法) parking, damage and stealing. Last month, two nurses in Beijing were caught by policemen for five days for putting locks on two shared bikes. And in December, a man who stole a shared bike was put in prison for 3 months and had to pay 1,000 yuan.

Now, Chinese service runners are trying to solve these problems. For example, Mobike sets a100-point score for each user. Points will be taken away when bad behavior happens. Once a score drops below 80, the price of renting a bike will rise to 100 yuan per 30 minutes, up from 0.5-1 yuan.
