[素材选自English in Mind Book 2] 巴黎自行车计划 Like all big cities, Paris has a traffic problem: lots of cars, lots of traffic jams and lots of pollution. So in 2007, the city began a plan called Velib to improve the situation. Under the Velib plan people can take a bicycle, use it for as long as they want, and then leave it at the same or another bicycle station. The first halfhour on the bike is free, but if you don't return it after 30 minutes, you have to pay. There are about 20, 000 of them in the city, and around 1, 450 bicycle stations. Paris is not the first city to have a plan like this. Lyon started a "free" bicycle plan many years ago. And not everybody thinks it's a great idea. One Parisian said, "These bicycles are only for short journeys." A city spokesman said, "The bicycle plan won't solve all of traffic problems, of course. But it might reduce pollution levels in the air. Traffic, together with factory smog, is a big problem. Everyone knows about global warming. It's because there's so much pollution in the world. The bikes might help people to lead a healthier life, too. There aren't any simple solutions to traffic problems and pollution in cities. But unless we do something now, there will be more traffic jams and temperatures will continue to rise, so the problems of our environment will get worse." 1.The traffic problems of Paris include the following except ________． A.lots of traffic accidents B.lots of cars C.lots of traffic jams D.lots of pollution 2.According to Paragraph 2, which of the following is TRUE? A.There are about 20, 000 bicycle stations in Paris. B.The bicycle is free and you needn't pay for it. C.People can use a bicycle for as long as they want.

D.Cannes. 4.The global warming is mainly because of ________． A.a lot of trees disappearing B.plenty of smog in the sky C.people's wrong behavior D.so much pollution in the world 5.What is the main idea of the passage?
