2．"I'm going to get Omama a parrot，" my mother announced.Omama was my old grandmother. "It will give her something to care for，which helps her exercise her mind and avoid decline in memory，" my mother continued. "A little bird may make things lively and cheer her up." I nodded since Omama loved pets in the past.
Omama had reached America from Ireland，and her memory was full of tales from the old country.She loved nothing better than to reminisce （回憶）.Once she got going，you might as well feel comfortable and go back to the wonderful past with her.So in the foreign land，my mother sent her a parrot to accompany her.
When receiving the bird，Omama called it Patrick.My mother gave her the feeding instructions.Omama listened and promised， "I'll not starve him.He'll eat better than me!He'll sleep better than me!And I'll play the sweetest music to him." As we walked toward the door，Omama was starting her record player and promising Patrick that he would hear some real Irish music. "Listen well and tell me what you think，" we heard her words.
Later，Omama often called us to report his wonderful behaviors.When she sat on the doorway to get some air，Patrick went along；when seeing her，Patrick would show excited behaviors.Omama often showed off the smart bird to her neighbors.She was crazy about Patrick.If we called to say that we planned to visit her，Omama would say， "Hold on，please，" while she announced to Patrick that we were coming.
Omama liked Patrick and thought highly of him.She had possessed many pets but Patrick was distinct from all others；Omama had assured me of that more than once.Still，nothing prepared me for the day when Patrick would take my breath away.
That day I visited Omama.She quickly went to the kitchen，and I sat on the sofa，Patrick looked at me. "Hello，Patrick，" I said.He replied， "Good morning，Patrick.Hello，Patrick.Pretty bird." My mouth dropped open.It was not because of Patrick's words.What shocked me was that every word Patrick said was spoken in a perfect Irish accent!
I suddenly realized that we all were shaped by our unique culture.We should value it and be proud of it.

3．The COVID-19 has led to a great demand for bikes and biking.Bikes stores are struggling hard to keep up with the demand.In the United States，bike sales have seen their jump since the 1970s.Sales of adult bikes in April of 2020 were three times as high as last year.The situation is similar in Asia and Europe.Around 90% of the bikes sold in the US are made in China.But because of the COVID-19，even the normal supply of bicycles wasn't being created.That demand began to go up in mid-March，as people began looking for ways of getting around that didn't involve crowded public transportation.Because biking happens in the open air，and the chance of catching the disease while riding is very low.
Biking has also grown more popular because it is one of the few forms of exercise allowed in many lock-downs.With gyms and fitness shut down，biking fills a need for many active people.Families appreciate biking，too.With school closed and kids unable to hang out with their friends，biking is a welcome activity.Bikes are also practical.Many cities are seeing this as an opportunity to make their streets safer and greener.Cities around the world are adding mils and miles of bike lanes to their streets to encourage biking.New York says it will close off up to 160 kilometers of roads so they can be used by bikers and walkers.Paris has set up over 650 kilometers of new bike lanes.The United Kingdom plans to double its number of bike lanes.In Milan，Italy，35 kilometers of roads have been metamorphosed.
Though many of these bike lane additions are temporary，and some people assume these additions seem to destroy the overall beauty of cities，if changes in biking habits become permanent because of additions，they could seriously cut down car traffic and help make cities a lot greener.
（1）What can we conclude about the present bike situation？
A．It is more expensive.
B．It is safer than a car.
C．It is in short supply.
D．It is all made in China.
（2）What does the underlined word "metamorphosed" in Paragraph 2 mean？
A．Repaired.
B．Changed.
C．Protected.
D．Designed.
（3）What is the author's attitude toward the bike lane additions？
A．Negative.
B．Doubtful.
C．Indifferent.
D．Positive.
（4）What is the best title for the text？
A．Increasing Interest in Biking.
B．Ride Bikes，Clean the Earth.
C．More Bikes，F(xiàn)ewer Traffic Jam.
D．A Great drop for Bike Exercise.組卷：0引用：1難度：0.5
