Bikes-sharing fever across China A revival of bike has swept across China, with an increasing number of people choosing cycling instead of driving. Start-ups like Ofo and Mobike has boosted bike-sharing schemes. The bikes they provided are equipped with GPS, and those bikes are gaining ground among Chinese as they can be easily unlocked with a smartphone and left anywhere in public. At the same time, Chinese service operators are trying to address problems accompanying like vandalism and theft. For example, Mobike sets 100-point credit scores for each user, with points taken in the case of bad behavior. Once a score drops below 80, bike rental is increased to 100 yuan per 30 minutes, up from 0.5-1 yuan. However, those bikes are not only available for who uses apps, bikes with technical issues, or simple password are easy to take away to use privately or sell; different producers replace or vandalize bikes of other brands then put their own bikes instead. Those problems emerges not only in China, but also other places around the world. I guess it's more a discussion of national quality and profit distribution than bikes. Should government be involved in? Or should bike-sharing continue?

Tornadoes often occur in series, like the ones in April of 1965 that caused havoc in Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio, killing 271 people and damaging $300,000,000 worth of property. Forty years earlier, in March of 1925, another series had killed 740 persons in Missouri, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, and Tennessee.“Tornado Alley” is a belt that runs through the Great Plains and southeastern portion of the United States. The Chicago area holds the greatest potential for tornado damage because of the combination of its location, its density of population, and its development. However, less populated southwestern Oklahoma has the highest incidence of tornadoes. Though Chicago has only half the incidence of tornadoes as Oklahoma, the need for disaster aid in Chicago is greater than anywhere else. Cause ______ 1. tornado series of 1965 Effect A. 740 people killed in 5 states B. smallest but most violent storms C. the greatest potential for tornado D. $300,000,000 property damage

Summarize the thesis and the premise(s) of the following argument. Identify the principle or the general rule used. To fully believe in something, to truly understand something one must be intimately acquainted with its opposite. One should not adopt a creed by default, because no alternative is known. Education should prepare students for the “real world” not by segregating them form evil but by urging full confrontation to test and modify the validity of the good. --Robert Baron, “In Defense of ‘Teaching’ Racism, Sexism, and Fascism”

5. Holy Roman Emperor Henry IV The Pope and the Holy Roman Emperor had disputed over the precedence of ecclesiastical or secular power since the spread of the Gregorian Reforms in the 11th century. When Gregory VII, acclaimed Pope by the people of Rome in 1073, attempted to enact reforms to the investiture process by his Dictatus papae decree, he was met by resistance from Henry IV. The king insisted that he reserve the traditionally established right of previous emperors to "invest" bishops, abbots and other clergymen, despite the papal decree. The conflict became increasingly severe, after Henry had been able to suppress the Saxon Rebellion in the Battle of Langensalza in June 1075. In September he installed a new Bishop of Milan, which annoyed Gregory who openly required obedience. Shortly afterwards the Pope became the target of an assassination attempt during the 1075 Christmas celebrations. On 24 January 1076, Henry assembled several German bishops in a synod at Worms, where the ecclesiastical dignitaries abandoned all commitments to the Pope. The king finally demanded Gregory's abdication, referring to the rules of papal election according to the In nomine Domini bull of 1059. In response, Gregory excommunicated and deposed Henry in the Lenten synod of 1076 at Rome. He stated furthermore that, one year from that day, the loss of kingship would become irrevocable. Gregory had also declared the oaths of allegiance sworn by the Princes null and void, which turned out to be more dangerous to Henry's rule, as the development met the interests of several territorial rulers in the Empire. When in October the Patriarch of Aquileia and the papal legate met with German princes at Trebur, they swore an oath not to recognize Henry unless the ban was lifted within a year. Fearing further rebellion among the German aristocracy, Henry felt he had to get rid of his excommunication. He was still popular among the common people, but the princes were threatening to elect a new king. He had to secure his position in the church before the rapidly approaching deadline given by the pope. On the suggestion of his adversaries, he arranged to meet with the Pope who had set out along the path across the Alps towards Augsburg. Henry began his trip in Speyer and, travelling southward down the Rhine, he found his position dangerous. As the Swabian nobles refused to open the way to the Alpine passes, the king had to move through Burgundy and cross the Alps at steep Mont Cenis. Henry, his wife Bertha of Savoy, and their young son Conrad risked their lives in harsh mid-winter conditions. After a long journey, they reached Gregory's accommodation in Canossa on 25 January 1077. 10. From the passage, we can know that_________.
