B George Turner, 48, owner of Penuel Bicycles in Inglewood, California, talks with respect 4 about his childhood BMX dirt bike. “I was mad keen on cycling.” he says. “I did whatever it took to get on that bike, as long as I was home before dark.” Home meant housework, homework and annoying brothers. But a bike meant escapes. In 2010, George transformed his childhood love into a livelihood, and opened his bicycle shop, Penuel Bicycles. The shop fulfilled a lifelong dream. Before that, he had worked for years delivering boxes for FedEx while selling bike accessories online. “Bicycles kept me out of trouble,” George remembers. “They were part of my life.” He figured that was still true for kids when he opened Penuel Bicycles. George expected parents to crowd inside, eager to buy shiny new bikes for their kids. He looked forward to helping boys and girls discover the joy of riding — and stay out of trouble — just as he had. None of that happened, however. George found that kids these days lead a different life. Usually, they don’t want a bike for their birthday. And most of them ever don’t know how to ride a bike. Instead of getting out and riding, they prefer spending their time on their phones indoors. As kids don’t ride, it is impossible that parents crowd in his shop to buy new bikes. Nine years after opening his Penuel Bicycles, George feared that he had to close the shop. Then in 2020, the coronavirus pandemic swept the nation. Surprisingly, the pandemic saved George’s business. During the pandemic, many American people found that cycling was a good way to exercise and also a safe way to get around. The demand for new bikes kept growing and people in George’s neighborhood pulled out their old bikes and wheeled them to Penuel Bicycles to get repaired. Now he is trying his best to meet his customers’ needs and hopes that his customers can really discover the joy of riding. 24. What did the bike mean to George in his childhood? A. Taking up sports. B. A precious birthday gift. C. Getting away from daily routine. D. A convenient vehicle. 25. What is George’s lifelong dream? A. Making a big fortune. B. Being a member of FedEx. C. Opening his own bicycle shop. D. Helping people pursue riding pleasure. 26. Why was George’s bike business once in a tough situation? A. The lifestyle of kids changed. B. He wasn’t good at management. C. Bikes were not as charming as before. D. His business was affected by the pandemic. 27. What’s the best title of the passage? A. Joy of Wheel B. Passion for Exercise C. Improvement of Bike Business D. Increasing Demand for New Bikes C Final exams are around the corner — but that won’t stop some teenagers putting in the least effort. This may be because their brains aren’t developed enough to properly assess how high the 5 stakes (利害关系) are, and adapt their behaviour accordingly. Catherine Insel, at Harvard University, and her team asked adolescents between the ages of 13 and 20 to play a game while monitoring their brains. In some rounds of the game, participants could earn 20 cents for a correct response, while an incorrect one would cost them 10 cents. But in rounds with higher stakes, correct responses wer
