Song and other restorers must evaluate (评估) the restoration project first. They have to consider what problems they will solve through restoration and what they cannot. Then they need to mix the paste (浆糊) or it will go bad if it stays for a long time. Then, the restorers must make sure the tools are clean. After all is ready, restoration work can go on for seven to eight hours. “It is difficult to make pieces of small paper to restore ancient books while trying to make them as clean as possible,” Song said.

What’s the most popular way to travel in the world, not including a human being’s two legs? You say by car? No. By train? Wrong again. By airplane? I’m sorry.
In fact, the most popular way is by bicycle. It may be a surprise to most people. After all, we see a lot of cars each day, but we don’t see so many bicycles.
As we know, bicycles are easy to park and need no energy. And they don’t cause pollution. So they are popular with people all over the world. However, do you know how they came into being?
The idea of a bicycle came from a child’s toy which was a horse made of wood. It had a horse’s head on one end of a stick and a wheel on the other.
At first, the bicycle had no pedals (脚踏板). To move forward, the rider had to put his feet on the ground to push it hard. Also, this kind of bicycle only went straight ahead. There was no way to turn the front wheel. If the rider wanted to change direction, he had to get off and move the bicycle.
Later on, many new things helped make a better bicycle. For example, early bicycles had solid tires (实心轮胎) that made them shake. Then, a man made a new kind of tire. He put a hose (软管) on his son’s bicycle and filled the hose with air, which helped stop the shaking. Over time, bicycles got lights, mirrors and so on.
27. What is the most popular way to travel in the world?
A. By car. B. By airplane. C. By bike. D. By train.
28. According to the passage, what are the advantages (优点) of bicycles?
①easy to park ②need no energy ③easy to learn ④no pollution ⑤easy to repair
A.②③④ B.①③⑤ C.①②④ D.②③⑤
29. What’s the role of the hose filled with air?
A. To make the bicycle higher. B. To make the bicycle lighter.
C. To make the bicycle easy to learn. D. To make the bicycle stop shaking.
30. Why did the writer write this passage?
A. To introduce some facts about bicycles.
B. To introduce how to make a better bicycle.
C. To ask us to ride bicycles for exercise.
D. To explain how to stay safe while riding bicycles.
