Bicycles also come in different colorssilver, green, red, blue, yellow, whatever you want.Its fun watching peopl

22、e biking. They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic, and ride even on sidewalks(人行道). Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just cant provide.Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture , I decided to buy a bicycle. Great weather accompanied my

23、great buy. I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home. My first ride home was orderly(守秩序的) .

28、CBefore my first summer vacation at college, my roommate Ted asked to me to work with him on his fathers farm in Argentina. The idea of spending two months in Argentine was exciting. Then I began having second thoughts. I had never been far from New England, and I had been homesick my first few week

29、s at college. What would it be like in a strange country? What about the language? The more I thought about it, the more the idea worried me. In the end I turned down the invitation. As soon as Ted asked somebody else to go, I began kicking myself. I had turned down something I wanted to do because

30、I was scared, and had ended up feeling depressed. That unhappy summer taught me a valuable lesson out of which I developed a rule for myself: do what makes you anxious; dont do what makes you depressed. At the end of my senior year, I began to think about becoming a writer. But my professor was urgi

31、ng me to aim at teaching. I hesitated. The idea of trying to live by writing was a lot scarier than spending a summer in Argentina. Back and forth（来来回回） I went, making my decision, unmaking it. Suddenly I realized that every time I gave up the idea of writing, that downhearted（无精打采的） feeling went th

32、rough me.Giving up on what I really wanted to do depressed me. Right then I learned another lesson. To avoid that kind of depression meant having to bear a certain amount of worry and concern.When I first began writing articles, I was frequently required to interview big names.

33、 I would get butterflies in the stomach and my hands would shake. One person I particularly admired was the great composer Duke Ellington. On the stage and on television, he seemed the very model of confidence. Then I learned Ellington still got stage fright（害怕）.If the highly honored Ellington, who

34、had appeared on the bandstand（演奏台） some 10,000 times over 30years, had anxiety attacks, who was I to think I could avoid them? I went on doing those frightening interviews. Then I realized to my astonishment that I was even looking forward to the interviews. What had happened to those butterflies?We

35、ll, in truth, they were still there, but there were fewer of them. I had benefited, I discovered, from a process psychologists call “extinction”. If you put an individual in an anxious situation often enough, he will eventually learn that there isnt anything to be worried about, which brings me to a

36、 conclusion: youll never get rid of anxiety by avoiding the things that caused it. The point is that the new, the different, is definitely scary（害怕）. But each time you try something, you learn, and as the learning piles up, the world opens to you. 28. We can infer from the passage that the author_.A

37、. finds it difficult to make decision B. has found out what causes anxiety C. was inspired by Duke Ellingtons stage frightD. no longer feels anxious about new experiences 29. The underlined word “extinction” in Paragraph 6 means _.A. a persons gradual loss of confidence B. the natural development of

41、were around 15, and girls celebrated their coming of age when they turned 13 or so. It wasnt until 1876 that 20 became the legal age of adulthood.These days, many women choose to wear traditional clothing-a kind of kimono(和服) with special designs. For unmarried women, this type of kimono is the most

42、 formal thing they can wear. However, such a full set of formal clothing is expensive, so it is usually either passed down or rented rather than being bought specially for the occasion.
