Watch out! Here comes London Mayor Boris Johnson riding a bicycle from his new bike hire plan. "What we’ve put in is a new form of public transport. These bikes are going to belong to everybody. "
More than 12000 people have signed up for the plan. They each receive a key at a cost of three pounds, with costs at one pound for a 24-hour membership, five pounds for seven days, and 45 pounds for an annual membership.
John Payne, a London teacher who cycles a lot, is among the first to use the system. "It’s very comfortable. For people who don’t cycle much I think it’ll be very useful. But for people who cycle regularly, they are possibly a bit slow. But they’re perfect for London streets, very strong. I think they’ll be very widely used. "
And Johnson says it’s of good value. "I think it’s extremely good value. The first half hour is free. If you cycle smart and you cycle around London--most journeys in London take less than half an hour, you can cycle the whole day free. " Some 5 000 bikes are currently available at over 300 docking stations (租车点) in central London. Johnson says the city will gradually expand the system, "Clearly one of our ambitions is to make sure that in 2012 when the world comes to London, they be able to use London hire bikes to go to the Olympic stadiums. \

A.
Silence is unnatural to man. He begins life with a cry and ends it in stillness. In the interval he does all he can to make a noise in the world, and there are few things 21 he stands in more fear than of the 22 of noise. Even his conversation is 23 a desperate attempt to prevent a dreadful silence. If he is introduced to a fellow mortal and a number of pauses occur in the conversation, he regards himself as a failure, a worthless person, and is full of 24 of the emptiest-headed chatterbox. He knows that ninety-nine percent of human conversation means 25 the buzzing of a fly, but he longs to join in the buzz and to prove that he is man and not a wax-work figure. The object of conversation is not, 26 the most part, to communicate ideas; it is to keep up the buzzing sound. Most buzzing, 27 is agreeable to the ear, and some of it is agreeable even to the 28 . He would be a foolish man, however, who waited until he had a wise thought to take part in the buzzing with his neighbors. Those who despise the weather as a conversational opening seem to be ignorant of the reason why human beings wish to talk. Very few human beings join in a conversation in the hope of learning anything new. Some of them are 29 if they are merely allowed to go on making a noise into other people’s ears though they have nothing to tell them except that they have seen a new play. At the end of an evening during which they have said nothing at immense length, they justly 30 themselves on their success as conversationalists.
