\"The 11 is to make people think about individual strategies to 12 problems. When something breaks, I try to fix it. The bike is me trying
to 'fix the air'. Rich people can have 13 air filters, but I cannot afford them, so what should I do?\" he says.
Hope's mask on two wheels uses the same 14 as power stations in cleaning up the air. As the cyclist pedals, a mini-generator(发电机) attached to the back 15 creates electricity.

A new study looks at how pets provide important support through petting, cuddles(拥抱),and a frequent physical presence. This is especially key when people feel lonely.
The researchers interviewed 32 people aged 59 to 83 years old. Pets included dogs, cats, birds, etc. More than 90% of the people spoke about touch in the relationship with their pets. \"Participants often described touch-based interactions with their pets as being comforting or relaxing in a way that contributed to their overall wellbeing,“ the researchers say, \"For our participants, comfort is the sense of being somehow caried for by another being. \"
Many people in the study spoke about how their pets just seemed to \"know\" when they weren't feeling well and they'd move to get physically near them. Different pets were better at providing comfort, some participants insisted Many said cats were more relaxing companions than dogs, while others said dogs could be relaxing as long as they were “the right kind of dog”. But almost all pets provided some sort of comfort to their owners when it came to touch.
Janette Young, lecturer in health sciences at the University of South Australia, and her team uncovered an interesting thing about the pet-human relationship. People in the study often spoke about how their animals demanded to be petted or seemed to take joy in the interaction. This, in turn, made the humans feel good.
The researchers suggest that pets can be \"helpful in reducing touch deprivation(匮乏)” and the benefits can come from all kinds of pets. This connection can be particularly important in health care and senior care settings where patients and workers are less likely to be able to see friends and family; yet touch is important and can improve health and happiness.
Pets can also offer benefits that in some cases people can't offer. \"Relationships with pets are different to those with humans,“ Young says. \"Animals don't judge and are always with us.”
1.About what did some participants hold different opinions?
A.What pets were better at providing comfort.
B.Whether pets could make them feel relaxed.
C.How they felt when their pets touched them.
D.When pets could notice their owners' discomfort.
2.What did Janette Young find about the pet-human relationship?
A.It is full of judgments. B.It turns out temporary.
C.It benefits both parties. D.It is determined by pets.
3.What may researchers suggest hospitals do?
A.Encourage pet connection programs.
B.Raise pets to reduce human touch.
C.Select out the best pet companions.
D.Order workers' friends to pay visits.
4.What is the main idea of the text?
A.Humans need spiritual support.
B.Pet-human interactions are common.
C.Lonely people like living with pets.
D.Pets offer humans touch-based comfort.

Two things changed my life: my mother and a white plastic bike basket. I have thought long and hard about it and it's true. I would be a different person if my mom hadn't turned a silly bicycle basket into a life lesson I carry with me today.
Managing the family budget(预算)must have been a very hard task,but my mother made it look easy. If we complained about not having what another kid did, we'd hear something like, \"I don't care what so-and-so got for his birthday; you are not getting a TV in your room, a car for your birthday or an expensive birthday party. \"We had to earn our pocket money by doing the housework. I can still remember how long it took to shine(擦亮)the legs of our coffee table. My brothers can no doubt remember hours spent cleaning the house. We made our own beds(no one left the house until that was done).We had to keep track of our belongings(物品),and if something was lost, it was not replaced.
It was summer and, one day, my mother drove me to the bike shop to get a tire fixed—and there it was in the window. White, shiny, plastic and decorated(装饰)with flowers,the basket winked(眨眼)at me and I knew—I knew—I had to have it.
\"It's beautiful,\" my mother said when I pointed it out to her. \"What a nice basket.\"
I played it cool for a short while. But then I guess I couldn't stand it any longer: \"Mom, please can I please, please get it? I’ll do extra chores for as long as you say. I'll do anything, but I need that basket. I love that basket. Please, Mom. Please?\"
\"You know, \"she said,gently rubbing my back while we both stared at(注视)what I believed was the coolest thing ever,\" If you save up you could buy this yourself.\"
\"By the time I make enough it'll be gone!\"
\"Maybe Roger here could hold it for you,\" she smiled at Roger, the bike store Owner.
\"He can't hold it for that long, Mom. Someone else will buy it. Please, Mom, please?\"
\"There might be another way,\" she said.

And so our paying plan began. My mother bought the beautiful basket and put it safely in some hiding Fe I couldn't find. Each week I eagerly counted my growing savings increased by extra work here and there: washing the car, helping
my mother make dinner, delivering or collecting things on my bike that already looked naked without the basket in front. And then, weeks later, I counted, re-counted and jumped for joy. Oh, happy day! I made it! I finally had the exact amount we'd agreed upon……
Days later, a neighborhood girl appeared with the exact same basket fixed to her shiny, new bike. I rode hard and fast home to tell my mother about this disaster. This horrible turn of events. And then came the lesson I've taken with me through my life: \"Honey, your basket is extra-special,\" Mom said, gently wiping away my hot tears. \"Your basket is special because you paid for it yourself.\"
