Michelle and Barney Wanstall rode off into the Lake District sunshine yesterday with no trouble at all.
They were the first customers to try a new electric bicycle hire service aimed at tourists who want the fun of cycling without pain. “We wanted to go on a boat when we first got here,” explained Mr. Wanstall, a student. “But we saw these bikes and decided to hire them instead.”
Brian Eaton, owner of Easyriders, which has a dozen bicycles for hire by the side of the lake near Coniston village, smiled as Michelle looked anxiously at Coniston Old Man, the mountain that towers over the village.
“We do quite a lot of cycling at home,” said Michelle. “But with mountains everywhere, it’ll be easier if we _______________________. And it’s only £18 each for a day’s easy riding and the chance to enjoy some of the finest countryside in Britain!”
The motorized bicycles helped the couple as soon as they began to pedal; they would have needed to use twice as much energy with a normal bicycle. The bicycles are very safe; they cannot go faster than 15 mph and the special tyres cannot be punctured. “It’s easy riding,” said Mr. Eaton. “There are a lot of people fancy cycling, but are not as fit as they used to be!”
Riders are provided with helmets, maps, routes and suggestions for picnics and places to stay. Most electric bicycles are sold in Japan. However, Mr. Eaton thought they would be popular with tourists in the Lake District. “As far as I know, these are the only motorized bicycles for hire in the country,” he said. “If the idea is successful, I’ll set up other hire centres around Britain.”

If you are asked to chair a meeting, remember the following six golden rules for meeting management.
1. Always start the meeting on time
If you begin on time, group members who show up late will realize the value of time. Beginning on time reflects the skill as an effective time manager and sets an example for others to follow.
2. Select a note-taker or arrange to have the meeting audio-taped
You may need to refer back to an issue that was discussed during the meeting at a later date. Good record-keeping is a sign of a good meeting manager as well.
3. Learn to listen
So many times we think we are going to say and, in the process, block out important points that other group members may be contributing. Additionally, we often hear only what we want to hear, rather than really listen to other people. Meetings that are characterized by effective listening are successful meetings.
4. Keep the discussion on track
Many times important issues can get sidetracked in a meeting, especially when everyone has a different opinion about the topic. If an unexpected conflict develops once the meeting is in progress, either appoint a subcommittee to look into the problem, or ask the participants involved in the conflict to meet with you after the meeting. Doing so will help keep the discussion on track and minimize (减少) the chances of wasting participants’ time of great value.
5. Give everyone an opportunity to be heard
Some people tend to control meetings, whereas others wait to be asked their opinions. As the leader of the meeting, you need to keep an open mind and make sure everyone feels welcome to contribute and express ideas without criticism.
6. End on time
If you said the meeting would last no longer than one hour, make sure the meeting lasts for only one hour. Running late with a meeting makes members late for other appointments, increases the chances that the members will mentally leave the meeting and reduces your reliability as an effective meeting manager.

Don’t shoot butterflies with guns.
Can you imagine someone running小题1:a butterfly with a gun in his hands? Won’t such stupidity make you burst out laughing? But wait. Stop and consider how often you might have done小题2:similar.
小题3:hen, Henny-Penny, lived in a forest with many other animals and birds. One fine, sunny morning, she was busy looking for worms in the ground. Suddenly she let out a小题4:(frighten) cackle (咯咯叫 ) with wings flapping in fear. A dry leaf had fallen down on her, and she went screaming at whoever she met, “Run, run for your lives; the sky小题5:(fall).” The other birds and animals stopped whatever they were doing. Some ran behind Henny-Penny, screaming warnings with her,小题6: others spread the unfounded story that the sky was falling.
We all have come across people like this hen. The rest of us are like the other foolish creatures小题7: did not stop to verify ( 证实 ) the小题8:(true) for themselves. They shoot butterflies with guns. They just will not think for themselves.
Why don’t people think for小题9:? Often because of laziness, or because they do not want to be responsible for their way of thinking. Don’t let your mind be enslaved 小题10: someone else. Stop, think and then go ahead. Let these signals direct you at every crossroads of life.
A. A sense of humour is not an inborn ability. B. A sense of humour can be developed in our life. C. A sense of humour helps us from several aspects. D. A sense of humour means more than telling jokes. E. A sense of humour can be expressed in many ways. F. A sense of humour helps people to better enjoy life. |
As awareness of the benefits of humour increases, most of us want to get all the laughs we can. It seems that almost every day there is another new discovery about the power of humour to help us physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Every system of the body responds to laughter in some important or positive way .
小题2:________________.
Many people mistakenly believe that we are born with a sense of humour. They think that when it comes to a sense of humour. “either you have got it or you don"t .” This is false! What is true, however, is that the ability to laugh and smile is actually something we are born with. For example, we laugh when we are tickled under the arm, even without thinking about how to react.
小题3:_______________.
The parts of the brain and central nervous system that control laughing and smiling are mature at birth in human infants, but that is not the same thing as having a sense of humour. (After all, when a baby laughs in his small bed we don’t rush over and say, “That kid has a great sense of humour!”) Your sense of humour is something you can develop over a lifetime. Don’t be nervous before others and try to laugh at yourself-then you will make them laugh too.
小题4:_______________.
Humour includes a lot more than laughing and joke telling. Many people worry needlessly that they do not have a good sense of humour because they are not good joke tellers. More than jokes, a sense of humour requires being willing and able to see the funny side of life’s situations as they happen. In fact, one of the best definitions(定义)of a sense of humour is “the ability to see the non-serious element in a situation.”
小题5:_____________.
There may be a thousand different ways to express your sense of humour, but joke telling is only one of those ways. As more is discovered about how humour benefits our life, more people will be able to see and enjoy the humour when they are in a difficult situation. Life depends on air, food and water, but it is made easier to live with a good sense of humour.
