【解析】文章主要讲述了，在交通拥堵高峰期，或者出租车屡等不来，步行又太累人时，最好的交通方式是骑自行车，从而介绍了这个共享单车服务，以及公司，对人生活便利的助推，以及对公司的运营和推广。

1.根据文章上下文：If it’s about two or three miles away, which kind of transportation will you choose? Bike shares are a growing convenience in many cities around the world.可知，此处要描述一种交通方式，而下文提到了共享单车现在在许多大城市变得越来越便利。故答案为：D.

2.根据下文：Riders usually have to pick up a bike at a self-serve station and return it at another station later.可知，自行车骑行者要不得不在服务站取得一辆自行车，完事后要在另一个站点归还。可知，上文要描述现在政府已经在很多城市建立了共享单车服务站。故答案为：A.

3.根据下文：Instead, they can pick one up wherever and whenever they please.可知，他们可以随时随地被取得使用，意味着想要使用共享单车的人不必要找到一个服务站。故答案为：E.

4.根据下文：After parking the bike, all they have to do is to lock it.在停放自行车之后，所有他们要做到就是锁上。可知此处描述用完共享单车后的归还要求。故答案为：B.

5.根据上文：This Chinese company already has its bicycle throughout China, the United States and Singapore.可知，这个中国公司已经在全国，美国，乃至新加坡都提供了这种自行车服务。可知，下文描述自行车更大范围的推广。故答案为：C.
