The bikes have GPS or Bluetooth on them, and they can be easily unlocked with a smart phone and left anywhere in public. Bike-sharing allows people to borrow a bike from one place and return it at another place easily. In some cities, we can see many people riding this kind of sharing-bikes. It’s very easy to use the bikes if you have a smart phone. First, you have to download such an APP on your smart phone. Then what you need to do is to find a nearest bike through the APP, scan (扫描) the QR code on the bike or connect your phone with the bike over a Bluetooth wireless connection (无线蓝牙连接). You will find the bike can be unlocked itself. Then you can enjoy your trip. What’s more, the greatest advantage of bike-sharing is that you can easily find one and never worry about where to park it. The cost of riding depends on (取决于) the time that you spend. Usually, every hour you ride, you need to pay one yuan. It doesn’t cost so much, does it? At the same time, some people park the bikes in their own homes. Besides, some people don’t take good care of the bikes. Now service companies are trying to solve the problem like being stolen (被偷). Technology and science have changed our social lifestyles. We have to say bike-sharing makes our life easier. And we also hope that people can not only enjoy it but also put it to good use. 1. From the first paragraph, we know ________.

American actress Emma Stone created a PowerPoint presentation (陈述) to get her parents’ support. Stone is a rising star in Hollywood. She played the role of Gwen Stacy. Spider-Man’s high school love interest, in two The Amazing Spider-Man movies. The actress said her character was like the girl’s in the film. “Gwen is clear on what she wants to do with her life. I think I am just like her.” Stone made up her mind to become an actress at the age of 15. But would her parents agree to her leaving school early and realizing her dream? The young girl decided to use the presentation to help her. “I used a lot of computers when I was young, and my dad is a businessman, so I just thought a presentation is the way to get support,” she said. The presentation is called Project Hollywood and she used pop singer Madonna’s classic son “Hollywood” in it, saying “just please let me move to LA to be an actress”. Her method proved to be a success. In 2004, Stone dropped out of high school and moved with her mother to Los Angeles. She began to study at home after that. Now Stone is a successful actress with many films to her name. Her next step is to try different things like strange comedies. 1.
