Bicycle Commuting
I may not be a movie star, best-selling author, or millionaire when I grow up, but one thing I will be known for, at least locally, is commuting by bicycle. It's sad to see how few people do----even though many could. Lots of people eagerly campaign for the reduction of greenhouse gases, but by driving cars, they're still contributing to the problem.
You might be picturing me as an extreme environmentalist (环保主义者), but I'm not one of those teenagers who wear shirts that say "Help save the world: Recycle." Actually, my interest in exercise, health, and fitness led me to cycling.
Cycling can help you lose weight, improve your health, and prevent many diseases. Cycling also carries a relatively low chance of injury.
While being good for your body, bicycle commuting is also a great way to cut greenhouse gases. Many environmentalists recycle, plant trees, and drive hybrid cars (混合动力汽车), but bicycle commuting could be even more effective than all of those combined. You could cut down the amount of greenhouse gases just by commuting by bicycle a few times a week.
Bicycle commuting saves money too. When you buy your bicycle and the things that usually go with it, you might be shocked by the cost. But if you think about the increasingly high gas prices, you will know for sure that you can save a significant amount each year by not driving a car.
You might think that you don't have time for bicycle commuting. Actually, you probably do. You could cut back on your TV time and pick up this activity. It helps you care for the environment, save money, and most importantly get fit.

第1题:
【文章大意】自行车通勤
我长大后可能不是电影明星、畅销书作家或百万富翁,但至少在当地,我会出名的一件事就是骑自行车通勤。很遗憾很少看到有人能做到,尽管很多人能做到。许多人热切地为减少温室气体而运动,但通过驾驶汽车,他们仍然在助长这个问题。
你可能把我描绘成一个极端的环保主义者,但我不是那些穿着写着“帮助拯救世界:回收”衬衫的青少年。实际上,我对运动、健康和健身的兴趣促使我骑自行车。
骑自行车可以帮助你减肥,改善你的健康,预防许多疾病。骑自行车的受伤几率也相对较低。
在对身体有益的同时,骑自行车通勤也是减少温室气体排放的好方法。许多环保主义者回收、植树和驾驶混合动力汽车,但自行车通勤可能比所有这些加起来更有效。每周骑几次自行车就可以减少温室气体的排放量。
骑自行车通勤也省钱。当您购买自行车和通常与之配套的物品时。您可能会对成本感到震惊。但是,如果您考虑一下越来越高的汽油价格,您肯定会知道不开车每年可以节省大量费用。
您可能认为您实际上没有时间骑自行车上下班。您可能会这样做。您可以减少看电视的时间并参加这项活动,它可以帮助您保护环境,省钱,最重要的是保持健康。
【原文考查】事实细节题

【解题思路】根据文章第一段第一句"I may not be a movie star, best-selling author, or millionaire when I grow up..."可知,我长大后可能不会成为电影明星、畅销书作家或百万富翁……。作者成为畅销书作家只是一种极小的可能性,更未提及到会写一本自行车相关的书。故本题说法未曾提及。
