    We can see many people riding shared bikes in China now. Bike-sharing helps people to borrow a bike from one place and return it at another place easily.

    This kind of bike has GPS or Bluetooth on it. If you have a smart phone, you can use it. First, you have to download(下载)an APP on your smart phone. Then what you need to do is to find a nearest bike through the APP, scan(扫描)the QR code on the bike and you will get the bike. Then you can enjoy your trip. What's more, you can easily find one and never worry about where to park it. Every hour you ride, you need to pay only one yuan. It doesn't cost so much, does it?

    Science changes our lifestyles. We have to say bike-sharing makes our life easier. And we also hope that people can not only enjoy it but also put it to good use.

Read the passage and answer the following questions. (每题答案不超过5个单词)

    We live in a world filled with many different kinds of people. We want to get along well with others. We also want to be liked by others. The following ways will make others like you.

    Do this and you will be welcome anywhere

    Become really interested in other people. A show of interest must be true. It must bring good results not only to the person showing the interest, but also to the person receiving the attention. It is a two-way street-both of you get an advantage.

    An easy way to make a good first impression(印象)

Smile as often as possible. Your smile is a sign of kindness. When someone feels stressed(有压力的)from his or her teachers or parents, your smile is like the sun breaking through the clouds. Your smile can help him or her realize(意识到)that all is hopeful—there is still joy in the world.

    If you don't do this, you are getting into trouble.

    Remember a person's name. A person's name is the sweetest and the most important sound in any language. We should realize the magic in a name. The name makes the person different from others; it makes him or her special among all others. If you remember a person's name, the relationship(关系)between both of you will become much closer.

An easy way to become a good talker

    Be a careful listener first. Ask questions that other persons will like to answer. Encourage (鼓励)them to talk about themselves and their achievements. What you need to do is just listen, because people are much more interested in themselves.

— Of course on the Internet. You can have a try.
