I wanted to remain the best in class, awe-inspiring and tip-top; a world-famous genius, like Michael Phelps, or Mark Zuckerberg.Unfortunately, my version of reality did not quite line up with this delusional vision. I was a good swimmer, but I peaked at the collegiate State Championship level. My academic record was pretty solid, but I never would have made it into one of those exceptional Ivy League Schools.Though I rose to above-average status in a couple of areas, the disappointing truth was that I would never amount to anything more than a mid-sized fish in a small pond. The destiny apparently had drawn up other plans.What drove me crazy, though, was the superstar talent thrown in my face at every turn. Some folks just seemed to get an unfair share of it.Why couldn't I be like Bernie Williams, the famed New York Yankees player who also happened to be a world-class jazz guitar virtuoso (艺术大师)?Some say greatness is simply a function of putting in the practice time. It is around ten thousand hours, to be precise, according to author Malcolm Gladwell. I don't question the theory of devoting considerable efforts to developing one's professional knowledge, but it seems that talent carries much weight alike.I've heard that as people approach middle age, their life satisfaction increases because they begin to accept the gap between the expectations for themselves and the reality. After a few decades of frustration without the desired results, we eventually come to terms with how our lives turned out, even if it falls far short of our idealized youthful expectations.Hope bends, it seems.4.

Hope Bends.（3）Multiple actions have been taken to fight food waste, but one young man is making a big difference with technology.Liu Jichen, 23, a student from Tsinghua University, has developed a WeChat mini-program called “Clear Your Plate". After a meal, users can open the mini-program and take a picture of their empty plates. Once the image is recognized by the AI, users can collect points and use them to buy gifts or purchase charity meals donated to children in impoverished ( 贫困的) rural areas.“Technological innovation is a good way to reduce food waste," Liu thought. He organized a team of 20 members to work on the project at the end of 2017. To solve the AI's problem of identifying photos of empty plates, the team spent half a year collecting over 100,000 samples in canteens and restaurants. In 2018, the mini program was officially put into operation on Oct 16, World Food Day."There were so many unknowns in research and development. For our team members, the biggest psychological challenge was whether we were confident enough to complete it," Liu said. They not only achieved their goal, but now, the mini-program has more than 5 million registered users, according to Liu.Thanks to his innovative and practical actions concerning social issues, Liu, along with the other 16 members, stood out among more than 7,600 candidates around the world to be inducted ( 入选) into the 2020 Class of Young Leaders for the Sustainable Development Goals by the UN Office of the Secretary General's Envoy on Youth in September.“We hope our efforts can start a new trend among the younger generation by encouraging them to cherish their food and develop the habit of thrift ( 节约)”Liu told China Daily."*We hope to inspire everyone to take action against food waste and to contribute Chinese wisdom and solutions to global food security challenges," he added.8.

Unwilling（4）We are fortunate to live in a city that encourages bicycling as a means of transportation.Our local government has promoted bicycling by improving bike lanes and increasing the number of them. The growing number of cyclists, however, brings this question to mind: should bicyclists be required to share the responsibilities of the road? Automobile drivers have to take competency tests, follow established regulations, and accept punishment for breaking rules. The city requests drivers to register and license their vehicles to ensure accountability (责任）. Bicyclists who use public roadways should be held accountable, too.Let's look at what sharing the road means. For one thing, it should involve cost sharing.Auto registration and license fees are used, in part, for building and maintaining roadways. It seems only reasonable to ask bicyclists to contribute to transportation funding as well.More importantly,sharing the road includes accountability. When drivers ignore the rules of the road, the police and other motorists have the opportunity to identify them by their license plate number and report their offenses (违法行为）。 This isn't true for bicyclists. I've seen bicyclists moving quickly between lanes.Because they show no identification, they feel protected by anonymity(匿名）。What good would it do to report to the police “I saw a guy on a red bike blow through the stoplight"? The simple act of making bicyclists identifiable would encourage safer, more responsible riding.Of course,I've heard arguments against asking cyclists to register and license their bikes. Some people might say, “Little kids ride bikes. Would you require a six-year-old rider to take a test and pay a fee?" Obviously, the city could determine an age when cycling would be considered a "means of transportation on public roads." Other people argue that bicycle fees are unfair because bikes don't damage the roadways as cars do. Bicycle registration fees could be comparatively modest, and the method for displaying a license number could be simple.Many U.S. cities and towns now implement bike registration and licensing. A statute(法规）from one. California town states that the laws regulating bicycles have a dual purpose, antitheft and safety. I'm eager to see more bicyclists on the road, and I'm hoping for riders who take their responsibilities seriously.12. To advocate responsible cycling, the author suggestsA. increasing the number of bike lanesB. giving competency tests to all cyclistsC. identifying cyclists through registrationD. reporting cycling offenses more frequently13. What is the author's purpose in writing Paragraph 4?A. To explain how bicycle registration and licensing work.B. To provide solutions to reduce irresponsible cycling of kids.C.

Should we encourage more cycling in the city?B. Should cyclists register and license their bikes?C. What does "sharing the road" mean to cyclists?D.
