23、Who is a Real Danger? Cyclists or Pedestrians?
We are having a debate about this topic. Here are some letters from our readers.
Yes, many cyclists behave dangerously. Many drivers are disrespectful of cyclists. But pedestrians are probably the worst offenders.
People of all ages happily walk along the pavement with eyes and hands glued to their mobile phones, quite unaware of what is going on around them. They may even do the same thing while crossing a road at a pedestrian crossing or elsewhere. The rest of us have to evade (避让) them or just stand still to wait for the unavoidable collision.
The real problem is that some pedestrians seem to be, at least for the moment, in worlds of their own that are, to them, much more important than the welfare of others.
—Michael Horan
I love the letter from Bob Brooks about cyclists (Viewpoints, May 29). I am afraid they seem to think they own the roads.
I was walking across Altrincham Road one morning when a cyclist went round me and, on being asked what he was doing, shouted at me.
The government built a cycle lane on the road, but it is hardly used.
The police do nothing. What a laugh they are!
The cyclists should all have to be made to use the cycle lanes and wear helmets, fluorescent (发荧光的) jackets and lights at night and in the morning. They should pay some sort of tax and be fined for not wearing them.
—Carol Harvey
Cyclists jump on and off pavements (which are meant for pedestrians), ride at speed along the pavements, and think they have a special right to go through traffic lights when they are on red.
I was almost knocked down recently by a cyclist riding on the pavement when there was a cycle lane right next to him.
Other road users, including horse riders, manage to obey the rules. So why not cyclists?
It’s about time they were registered and insured, so when they do hit a pedestrian or a vehicle or cause an accident, at least they can be treated and there might be an opportunity to claim compensation.
—JML

24、If having to make a choice between reading an e-book and a printed book, which would most people choose? Some would go for an e-book while some still prefer the hard-printed book.
Undoubtedly, e-books do have benefits. Firstly, changes to an electronic publication are relatively easy to make. They are quicker to obtain. E-books are more easily updated. The printed books on many subjects can become outdated very quickly. Secondly, e-books can be easily and quickly kept up to date. You usually get far more than just the e-books. Most e-books are sold with bonuses and related information that usually do not come with the purchase of a printed book. Moreover, they take up less space. Instead of a big library, you can fit literally thousands of books on your computer. It also makes it easier to share this information with families and friends.
For nearly twenty years, additionally, futurists have been predicting the development of printed books. The conventional view has been that digital e-books are on the verge of replacing paper books. However, this has not been the case. A printed book has its advantages too. Firstly, it is an object that can be carried and used alone. It needs no electric outlet (插座), no batteries, nothing. Secondly, e-books will always require some forms of support that the printed book does not need.
I believe that the online publishing has not taken off because people want real books. What is being published online more and more are pamphlets (小册子) and things that really do not need to be in print. These are stuff that people throw away afterward. More often, people do not want to read a book on the computer. What could be better than a paper book? It lasts a long time. These books are designed to last a long time without disappearing.
To sum up, there is no denying that the printed book is still very much preferred over its digital cousins. Reading electronic publications is just not the same when it comes to books. People are still very interested in real books and notebooks.
【1】What can we know about an e-book?
A.It will never be out of date.
B.It always gives you an added bonus.
C.It can deliver information quickly.
D.It has taken the place of printed books.
【2】Which statement would futurists probably agree with?
A.Printed books will disappear.
B.Printed books can be used alone.
C.E-books have many restrictions.
D.E-books have no drawbacks.
【3】What is one cause of the failed online publishing?
A.The low demand for book industry.
B.The expectations from people.
C.The guidance of policy.
D.The desire for the printed books.
【4】What does the author think of the future of the printed book?
A.Hopeless.
B.Unpredictable.
C.Costly.
D.Promising.
25、I don’t have many secrets because I’m a terrible liar. But there was one huge secret that I _______ for years — I failed my first driving test. I had never failed a test before, and had never even come _______.
I _______ up for driving lessons. I got a perfect score for my written exam, but getting behind the wheel was a different _______. When October 30th came, I felt very confident and really wanted to _______ the brand-new license I would get. _______ that special day, I can’t _______ if I was nervous. What I do remember is my starting the test, pausing at a stop sign for a few _______, and being asked by the instructor to pull over. I failed for my pause was indeed a pause and not a real stop.
