London to Brighton Bike Ride
The start
The bike ride starts at Clapham mon tube station. Ride carefully
We put together as many facilities as possible to help ensure you have a trouble-free day. But we also rely on you to ride safely and with due consideration for other cyclists and road users. Although many roads are closed to oning traffic, this is not always the case and you should be aware of the possibility that there could be vehicles ing in the opposite direction.
Please do not attempt reckless overtaking whilst riding — remember it is NOT a race. (1)________
If you have an accident, ask a marshal for help; they are in contact with the support/emergency services. To call for help from our motorcycle marshals, give a“thumbs down” signal. The marshal will do all he/she can to help, providing he/she is not already going to a more serious accident. If a motorcycle marshal slows down to help you, but you have just stopped for a rest and don't need help, please give a “thumbs up” signal and he/she will carry on. Remember — thumbs down means “I need help”．
(2)________
Refer to your route map and make your way to a Mechanics Point. Mechanical assistance is free when you show your Rider Identity Card; you just pay for the parts.
Refreshment stops
Look out for these along the route. Most are organized by voluntary clubs and their prices give you real value for money. They are also raising money for their local munities and the British Heart Foundation, so please give them your support.
Rain or shine — be prepared
In the event of very bad weather, watch out for signs to wet weather stations en route. Good waterproofs, like a cycle cape, are essential. Our first aid staff can only supply bin liners and by the time you get one you may be very wet. However, the English summer is unpredictable — it may also be hot, so don't forget the sun protection cream as well!
(3)________
We will try to pick up your bike for you on the day. Call Bike Events (01225310859) no more than two weeks after the ride to arrange collection. Sorry, we cannot guarantee this service nor can we accept liability for any loss or damage to your bike. Bike Events will hold your bike for three months, after which it may be disposed of. You will be charged for all
costs incurred in returning your cycle.

ELECTRICITY IS AT THE CORE OF MODERN LIFE. DESPITE THIS, THE FULL STORY OF THIS REVOLUTIONARY FORCE HAS REMAINED UNTOLD — UNTIL NOW.
Simply Electrifying offers the prehensive story of one of mankind's most important journeys: from a time when only a few could even imagine a world with electricity to today when, for most of us, a world without electricity would be unimaginable.
Since the birth of the modern science of electricity 265 years ago, mankind has built an impressive structure to produce, deliver, and use electricity, thanks to a bination of pioneering science, innovative technology, wise business strategy, and pervasive (到处存在的)
economic and environmental regulation.
Simply Electrifying brings to life the stories of the people that made it all possible — from early pathfinders like Benjamin Franklin, Michael Faraday, James Clerk Maxwell, and Albert Einstein to innovators such as Samuel Morse, Thomas Edison, George Westinghouse, and Nikola Tesla. In modern times, business strategists and economic and environmental regulation driven by many, including President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Rachel Carson, and even President Barack Obama, have shaped how we use and understand electricity in crucial ways. Today, Elon Musk and others are on the edge of again changing the way we think about and interact with it.
Simply Electrifying is painstakingly researched and beautifully written, showing us how both profit-makers and policy-makers must use a wide-angle lens to truly understand the past and predict the future.
语篇解读：本文是一篇广告，主要介绍了Simply Electrifying这本书。
3．According to the passage, the book Simply Electrifying is written to tell us ________. A．pioneering science of electricity B．significant journeys of electricity C．the people who invented electricity D．the research which was about electricity

4．Why is President Barack Obama mentioned in the book Simply Electrifying? A．Because a policy-maker is usually a top dog that can arouse the readers' interest. B．Because a policy-maker can help promote the better use of electricity.
C．Because policy-makers can decide the future of the use of electricity on the market. D．Because policy-makers can take control of the economy through electricity. 解析：选B 推理判断题。根据第三段“In modern times, business strategists and economic and environmental regulation ... Barack Obama, have shaped how we use and understand electricity in crucial ways.”可知，由奥巴马等政要人物所倡导的商业策略以及环境管理制度已经让我们养成用关键的方式去使用和理解电力的习惯。所以这些的制定者能够促进人们正确地使用电。

Second-Hand Finds
It's hard to know what is worth buying at a garage sale. These can be of great value. LARGE FURNITURE
The key to buying big items is to wait until the end of the day. By then, the sellers are wondering how they are going to get that huge sofa back into the house.
PLASTIC AND WOODEN TOYS
Many old-fashioned wooden toys are solid enough to be passed from generation to generation. Clean wooden and plastic toys with a mixture of bleach (漂白剂) or vinegar and hot water. But stay clear of stuffed animals, which are always hard to clean.
BICYCLES AND SCOOTERS
Bikes can be a great find, but it's important to take them for a test drive before you buy. With scooters, if the frame is solid, you can often replace missing or worn parts(handlebar covers, brakes, wheels) for much less than the cost of new ones.
BABY GEAR
New parents want to get rid of out-grown baby swings, high chairs and strollers as soon
as possible, making them a garage-sale staple. In case of future recalls, make sure the model number is still visible. Don't buy: second-hand car seats (the structure could have suffered from damage) and drop-side cribs (落地式婴儿床)．

10．How does the writer remend finds to buyers? A．By introducing characteristics of items. B．By offering detailed descriptions. C．By telling different stories of the items. D．By paring items with others.
