    Although people everywhere seem to enjoy drinking coffee, they don't all have the same coffee culture. In Europe for example, coffee shops are common places for people to meet friends and to talk while they drink coffee. On the other hand, places like this were not as common in North America in the past. Instead, people in North America liked to drink coffee in their homes with friends. The coffee culture in the USA changed when Starbucks coffee shops spread across the country.

    The first Starbucks coffee shop opened in 1971 in downtown Seattle, Washington, in the USA. It was a small coffee shop that cooked its own coffee beans. The coffee shop's business did well, and by 1981 there were three Starbucks stores in Seattle.

    Things really began to change for the company in 1981.That year, Howard Schultz met the three men who ran Starbucks. Schultz worked in New York for a company that made kitchen equipment(设备). He noticed that Starbucks ordered a large number of special coffee makers, which caused his great interest. Schultz went to Seattle to see what Starbucks did. In 1982, the original Starbucks owners hired (雇佣)Schultz as the company's head of marketing(市场营销).

    In 1983, Schultz traveled to Italy. The special environment of the espresso(浓 咖啡) bars there caught his eyes. Back in the USA, Schultz created an environment for Starbucks coffee shops that was comfortable and casual, and customers everywhere seemed to like it. Starbucks began opening more stores across the USA. Then the company opened coffee shops in other countries as well. Today, there are more than 16,000 Starbucks coffee shops all over the world.

    However, that does not mean Starbucks has not had problems. In fact, many Starbucks stores have closed over the past few years. On the one hand, this is because there were too many coffee shops competing for business in one small area. On the other hand, stores in some countries closed because the coffee culture there did not match with the “feel the same everywhere” environment offered by Starbucks.

(1)、The underlined word “ran” in Paragraph 3 probably means

    ”.

A、closed B、managed C、left D、sold
(2)、What's the Chinese meaning of the underlined words “coffee makers” in Paragraph 3?
A、咖啡壶 B、咖啡制造人 C、咖啡制品 D、咖啡制造商
(3)、According to the passage, which is the right order for the following sentences?

a.This man helped to make Starbucks a huge coffee company.

b.Starbucks began as a small coffee company in Seattle in the USA.

c.He went to Seattle to learn about the company and later worked for it.

d.Howard Schultz noticed Starbucks ordered lots of special coffee makers.

A、a-b-d-c B、c-a-b-d C、b-d-c-a D、d-c-a-b
(4)、Why did so many Starbucks close in small areas?
A、Because the coffee in these places was too expensive. B、Because the style of the coffee stores seems the same. C、Because the people like to drink coffee at home with friends. D、Because there were too many coffee shops in one place.
(5)、What's the best title for the passage?
A、The History of Starbucks B、The Culture of Starbucks C、The Popularity of Starbucks D、The Environment of Starbucks

How many bicycles do you need in your life? For Chai Lin, the answer is 1,300 and the number is continuing to grow.

Bicycles first came into China in the 19th century. At that time, they were a symbol of having a lot of money. And later they became a common way of transport. When Chai saw some people riding a bicycle, he said,"They were like flying on the streets, and my heart went flying with them."Since then, he dreamed of owning a bike.

However, at that time a bicycle was too expensive for ordinary Chinese. To get enough money sooner, Chai began to sell his pictures in the street. With his own hard work and the help of his family, Chai got his first bike, at the price of 880 yuan, in 1979.

Chai Lin became a businessman years later and he could buy motorbikes and cars. ▲ He began to collect bikes of different brands and ages from around the world in different ways. Up to now, Chai has collected more than 1,300bikes.

With his collection growing, there was no room big enough to keep it. In 2009, with the support of the Gansu provincial government, he spent 200 million yuan building a museum just for exhibiting(展出) his bikes. After 10 years' hard work, the Gansu Sanmu Bicycle Museum in Lanzhou finally opened to the public in January 2019. People can go and enjoy the bikes for free. By 2024, more than two million visitors have been there.

"A large part of my collection is not yet exhibited and has to be kept in other places. I hope to expand (扩大) the museum for my bikes,"he said.

 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。

Mushrooms are tasty and rich in healthy nutrients (营养物), which makes some people  collect them in the wild. However, eating the wrong mushrooms can make you sick or even dead. Therefore, growing mushrooms yourself inside your own home is getting popular.

There are two ways to do this. You can buy a set of materials from a garden store called a "grow kit (工具包) "or you can put them together yourself.

Grow kits(GK)

Grow kits are a great way for beginners to try growing mushrooms. These grow kits include partly-grown mushroom starters, called "spawn." (菌种体) The spawn is set in soil (土壤) and is planted in its own grow box. You put the spawn in water overnight. Then you return it to the box and open it to fresh air. Water it twice a day.

Within two or three weeks, you will be eating mushrooms with more on the way. It is fun and easy.

Putting them together yourself(PTTY)

If you want a larger harvest, it will cost less to put the materials together yourself. It is easy, too.

For starters, you will need a wooden, metal, or plastic box and some soil mixed with compost (肥料) and other materials. You will also need to buy fungal spores (真菌孢子) (something like seeds).

With clean hands, fill the box with your soil and materials. Put the spores evenly over the soil substance (物质) and water it twice a day gently.

To grow quickly and effectively, the spore-topped soil material should be kept away from direct sunlight. It should be kept at or close to 21℃. Put a piece of cloth lightly over the top of the box to keep moisture(水分) in. But do not cover it tightly (紧紧地). After it was coated with mycelium (菌丝体), move the box to a cooler place —12℃ to 15 ℃.

Mushrooms grow very quickly. With their tops fully open, they will be ready to harvest. That will be in about three to four weeks. Use a sharp, clean knife to cut them at soil level to avoid influencing nearby growth.

Do you want to taste safe and nutritious mushrooms? Grow them at home right now.
