Their answer is the bicycle, or bike. In a great many cities, hundreds of people ride bicycles to work every day. In New York City, some bike riders have even formed a group called "Bike for a Better City". They claim that if more people rode bicycles to work there would be fewer ________ in the downtown section of the city and therefore less dirty air from car engines. For several years this group has been trying to get city government to help bicycle riders.For example, they want the city to paint special lanes﹣for bicycles only﹣on some of the main streets, because when bicycle riders must use the same lanes as cars, there may be accidents. "Bike for a Better City" feels that if there were special lanes, more people would use bikes. But no bicycle lanes have been painted yet. Not everyone thinks it is a good idea. Taxi drivers don't like the idea﹣they say it will slow traffic. Some store owners on the main streets don't like the idea﹣they say that if there is less traffic, they will have less business. And most people live too far from downtown to travel by bike. The city government has not yet decided what to do.It wants to keep everyone happy.On weekends, Central Park﹣the largest open place in New York﹣is closed to cars, and the roads may be used by bicycles only. But "Bike for a Better City" says that this is not enough and keeps fighting to get bicycle lanes downtown. Until that happens, the safest place to bicycle may be in the park.(1)The underlined word "automobiles" in the second paragraph means________.A. trains B. cars C. planes D. ships.(2)Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?________A.

"Bike for a Better City" and the city governmentC. the government's idea on traffic and city pollutionD. advice on the city problems of traffic and pollution.Many people think sports are just for winning and honor, but there is a lot more you can gain from (get out of) them.I have learned over the past years that sometimes when I lose, I get a lot more out of it than winning.Also, I find a lot of times in sports, people are getting too caught up in the game instead of just having fun.The real purpose of sports is to have fun and learn life lessons along the way. I greatly encourage you to be a part of the school sports.Even if you are not the best, you can still have fun.Sports give people a great and healthy way of spending an afternoon, instead of lying around playing video games or even getting into bad things.Sports also give us a sense of achievement.There isn't a better feeling than to have done something fun and productive for my day. I think that we all need sports to give us courage.If we try hard in sports, we usually do well.If we did the same in study, we would all be champions.Another reason why I encourage you to play sports is that it's just fun.Without sports, our lives would just be boring.So as you may be able to tell, sports are amazing! Our coaches not only teach us to play sports, but show class and good sportsmanship while playing them.It's never fun when you lose to have the competitor rub it in your face.That's why our coaches teach us to show class when we lose; also, when coaches get onto you, don't get down.They only want to see you improve and learn from what they say.When you do badly and they don't shout loudly is when you should start worrying because they are giving up on you. Overall, sports are great!They bring out the best and worst of a lot of us.However, we can't let sports get too serious to where it brings down all the fun.So to have the most fun in sports, you just need try your best and not worry so much about the winning or losing.(1)The underlined phrase"get onto you"in Paragraph 4probably means________.A.point out your mistakes.
