These days shared bikes are becoming the center of attention in my WeChat friend circle. Many of my friends are sharing photos of themselves riding bikes, especially during the weekend in natural parks, and I can see people logging in (登录) and out of shared bike apps.
I’m very happy that there are shared bikes on the road. They have saved us a lot of time during special situations, and on beautiful, clear days, people enjoy riding them outside the city.
I tried shared bikes last week, and I didn’t like them very much. I think the first shared bikes without baskets are designed for athletes. They are very hard to ride, and the seats are not comfortable. It makes me wonder whether people really like riding shared bikes or are just saying this to agree with others.
A friend secretly told me she tried the bikes to fit in. She doesn’t like bikes and finds Beijing’s roads too hard for bike riding. But recently, the only way to hang out with her friends is riding out of town together. To join in social activities, she had to pick up bike riding again.
Another friend admitted that he started talking about and sharing photos on shared bikes in order just to appear modern and fashionable to friends. He started paying attention when shared bikes first came into use.
These views will give me something new to think about when I ride these bikes again.
28. What does the writer himself think of shared bikes?
A. They are very difficult to ride. B. Their seats are comfortable.
C. Athletes like shared bikes. D. They can save us a lot of money.
29. The underlined word “admitted” may mean _______________ in the passage.
A. told a lie B. told the truth C. kept a promise D. kept a secret
30. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. It’s quite simple to use shared bikes at special time.
B. Some people only appear to be interested in shared bikes.
C. The writer likes the bikes without baskets because they are for athletes.
D. Some people like to share photos riding bikes because they want to agree with others.

Charlotte and Ella taught themselves how to use editing software (剪辑软件) for their first series, The Adventures of the Annoying Apple. Because they had so much fun, they decided to start their own production companies. Charlotte named hers Murphy Films, after her dog, and Ella named hers Avocado Films, after a tree in her backyard.

Everyone knows that it’s hard to drink in space because of the low gravity, but Chinese astronauts Jing Haipeng and Chen Dong showed us how they drank tea on a TV show during the month-long trip in Shenzhou XI spaceship last year. They used a specially made tea cup and a special Pu’er cream to drink tea while standing upside down.
The Pu’er tea cream they drank is produced in Yunnan province, which is known for its Pu’er tea industry.
“Drinking hot tea is harder,” said Jing Haipeng. “The difficult part of drinking tea in space is that there should not be anything left after the tea dissolves (溶解) in water, also, the solubility（溶解度）of the tea should be low since water in space can only be warmed to 60 degrees at most.”
The tea cream the astronauts drank is produced by Gongrunxiang Tea Industry Corp in Kunming. Zhang Guanghui, manager of Gongrunxiang, said that the company tries to produce a tea cream that’s a safe, healthy tea product. Tea products are often reported to be polluted by air and heavy metals. “I never imagined that one day our tea cream would help astronauts to drink tea in space,” Zhang said, adding that drinking tea in space can be seen as a turning point for the Pu’er tea industry.
“For us, astronauts’ drinking tea in space means our technology used in the tea industry has had some achievements,” Zhang said. “In the future, more tea producers will use it to improve the tea industry.”
36. What does the underlined word “ it ” in the last paragraph mean?
A. The technology. B. The industry. C. The tea. D. The space.
37. We can learn from the passage that _______________.
A. astronauts are able to enjoy many kinds of tea in space
B. the tea cream is reported to be polluted by air and heavy metals
C. the astronauts showed how they drank tea after returning to the earth
D. the technology used in the tea industry may help the astronauts drink tea
38. Which is NOT the reason why it’s difficult for the astronauts to drink hot tea in space?
A. Drinking is very hard in the low-gravity situation.
B. The solubility of the tea should remain the same.
C. They have to use a kind of specially made tea cup.
D. There should be nothing left after the tea dissolves in water.
39. Why does Zhang consider drinking tea in space is a turning point for the Pu’er tea industry?
A. He thinks it might help astronauts in space.
B. He thinks it might make Pu’er tea dissolve easily.
C. He thinks it might help improve the production of Pu’er tea.
D. He thinks it might help improve the tea industry and make Pu’er tea popular.
