22、ally desirable form of transport in towns, but such cold calculations do not mean much on a frosty winter morning. The real appeal of cycling is that it is so enjoyable. It has none of the difficulties and tensions of other ways of traveling so you are more cheerful after a ride, even through the ru
23、sh hour.The first thing a non-cyclist says to you is “But isnt it terribly dangerous?“ It would be foolish to deny the danger of sharing the road with motor vehicles and it must be admitted that there is an alarming number of accidents involving cyclists. However, although police records indicate th
24、at the car driver is often to blame, the answer lies with the cyclist. It is possible to ride in such a way as to reduce risks to a minimum.If you decide to join the thousands in Britain who are now returning to cycling as a cheap, satisfying form of transport your first problem will be trying to de
25、cide what bike to buy. Here are three simple rules for buying a bike:1. Always buy the best you can afford. Of course there has to be a meeting point between what you would really like and economic reality, but aim as high as you can and you will get the benefit not only when you ride but also if yo
26、u want to sell. Well-made bikes keep their value very well. And dont forget to include in your calculations the fact that youll begin saving money on fares and petrol the minute you leave the shop.2. Get the best frame, the main structure of the bicycle, for your money as you can. Cheap brakes, whee
27、ls or gears can easily be replaced by more expensive ones, but the frame sets the upper limit on any transformation. You should allow for the possibility that your cycling ambitions will grow with practice. When you begin, the four miles to work may be the most you ever dream of, but after a few mon
28、ths a Sunday ride into the country begins to look more and more desirable. The best thing is to buy a bike just a little bit better than you think youll need, and then grow into it. Otherwise, try to get a model that can be improved.3. The fit is vital. Handlebars and seat height can be adjusted but
29、 you must get the right sized frame. On the whole it is best to get the largest size you can manage. Frame sizes are measured in inches and the usual adult range is from 21 inches to 25 inches, though extreme sizes outside those measurements can be found. Some people say if you take four inches off
30、from your inside leg measurement you will end up with the right size of bike. The basic principle thought is that you should be able to stand with legs at either side of the crossbar (the bar that goes from the handlebars to the seat) with both feet comfortably flat on the ground.（分数：5.00）(1).As reg

34、he seat.B.measure the distance from the handlebars to the seat carefully.C.take your leg measurements while sitting on the seat.D.see if your feet rest firmly on the ground when you stand over the crossbar.(5).The author thinks that the main attraction of cycling is _.（分数：1.00）A.the pleasure it give
35、s people.B.the benefits to peoples health.C.its comparative safety.D.its relative comfort.BText 2/BFew people doubt the fundamental importance of mothers in childrearing, but what do fathers do? Much of what they contribute is simply the result of being a second adult in the home. Bringing up childr
36、en is demanding, stressful and exhausting. Two adults can support and make up for each others deficiencies and build on each others strengths.Fathers also bring an array of unique qualities. Some are familiar: protector and role model. Teenage boys without fathers are notoriously prone to trouble. T
37、he pathway to adulthood for daughters is somewhat easier, but they must still learn from their fathers, in ways they cannot from their mothers, how to relate to men. They learn from their fathers about heterosexual trust, intimacy and difference. They learn to appreciate their own femininity from th
38、e one male who is most special in their lives. Most important, through loving and being loved by their fathers, they learn that they are love-worthy.Current research gives much deeper-and more surprising-insight into the fathers role in childrearing. One significantly overlooked dimension of fatheri
39、ng is play. From their childrens birth through adolescence, fathers tend to emphasise play more than caretaking. The fathers style of play is likely to be both physically stimulating and exciting. With older children it involves more teamwork, requiring competitive testing of physical and mental ski
40、lls. It frequently resembles a teaching relationship: come on, let me show you how. Mothers play more at the childs level. They seem willing to let the child direct play.Kids, at least in the early years, seem to prefer to play with daddy. In one study of 2-year-olds who were given a choice, more th
41、an two-thirds chose to play with their fathers.The way fathers play has effects on everything from the management of emotions to intelligence and academic achievement. It is particularly important in promoting self-control. According to one expert, “children who roughhouse with their fathers quickly
42、 learn that biting, kicking and other forms of physical violence are not acceptable.“ They learn when to “shut it down.“At play and in other realms, fathers tend to stress competition, challenge, initiative, risk-taking and independence. Mothers, as caretakers, stress emotional security and personal
43、 safety. On the playground fathers often try to get the children to swing ever higher, while mothers are cautious, worrying about an accident.We know, too, that fathers involvement seems to be linked to improved verbal and problem-solving skills and higher academic achievement. Several studies found
44、 that along with paternal strictness, the amount of time fathers spent reading with them was a strong predictor of their daughters verbal ability.For sons the results have been equally striking. Studies uncovered a strong relationship between fathers involvement and the mathematical abilities of the
45、ir sons. Other studies found a relationship between paternal nurturing and boys verbal intelligence.（分数：5.00）(1).The first paragraph points out that one of the advantages of a family with both parents is _.（分数：1.00）A.husband and wife can share housework.B.two adults are always better than one.C.the
