Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50.

It can be shown in facts and figures that cycling is the cheapest, most convenient, and most environmentally desirable term of transport in towns, but such cold calculations do not mean much on a frosty winter morning. The real appeal of cycling is that it is so enjoyable. It has none of the difficulties and tensions of other ways of traveling so you are more cheerful after a ride, even though the rush hour.

The first thing a non-cyclist says to you is: "But isn't it terribly dangerous?" It would be foolish to deny the danger of sharing the road with motor vehicles and it must be admitted that there are an alarming number of accidents involving cyclists. However, although police records indicate that the car driver is often to blame, the answer lies with the cyclist. It is possible to ride in such a way as to reduce risks to a minimum.

If you decide to join the thousands in Britain who are now returning to cycling as a cheap, satisfying form of transport your first problem will be trying to decide what bike to buy. Here are three simple rules for buying a bike:

1. Always buy the best you can afford. Of course there has to be a meeting point between what you would really like and economic reality, but aim as high as you can and you will get the benefit not only when you ride but also if you want to sell. Well-made bikes keep the value very well. And don't forget to include in your calculations the fact that you'll begin saving money on

fares and petrol the minute you leave the shop.

2. Get the best frame, the main structure of the bicycle, for your money as you can. Cheap brakes, wheels or gears can easily be replaced by more expensive ones, but the frame sets the upper limit on any transformation. You should allow for the possibility our cycling ambitions will grow with practice. When you begin, the four miles to work may the most you ever dream of, but after a few months a Sunday ride into the country begins to look more and more desirable. The best thing is to buy a bike just a little bit better than you think you'll need, and then grow into it. Otherwise, try to get a model that can be improved.

3.The fit is vital. Handlebars and seat height can be adjusted but you must get the right sized frame. On the whole it is best to get the largest size you can manage. Frame sizes are measured in inches and the usual adult range is from 21 inches to 25 inches, though extreme sizes outside those measurements can be found. Some people say if you take four inches off from your inside leg measurement you will end up with the right size of bike. The basic principle though is that you should be able to stand with legs either side of the crossbar (the bar that goes from the handlebars to the seat) with both feet comfortably flat on the ground.

Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as the advantages of cycling?

A. it's not costly

B. it's convenient and psychologically comfortable

C. it's good for environment

D. it's good for exercise

Thực tế và số liệu cho thấy rằng đi xe đạp là một loại hình giao thông rẻ nhất, thuận tiện nhất, và thân thiện nhất với môi trường ở các thị trấn, nhưng trong một buổi sáng mùa đông giá lạnh thì đánh giá này lại không còn đúng nữa. Sự hấp dẫn thực sự của xe đạp là ở chỗ nó rất thú vị. Không khó khăn và căng thẳng như những cách di chuyển khác, vì vậy bạn thấy vui vẻ hơn sau một chuyến đi, thậm chí vào lúc giờ cao điểm.

Điều đầu tiên một người không đi xe đạp sẽ nói là: Nó rất nguy hiểm phải không? Sẽ thật ngu ngốc nếu phủ nhận sự nguy hiểm của việc đi cùng đường với xe cơ giới và phải thừa nhận rằng một số lượng đáng báo động các tai nạn liên quan đến người đi xe đạp. Tuy nhiên, mặc dù hồ sơ cảnh sát cho rằng các tài xế điều khiển ô tô thường phải chịu trách nhiệm, nhưng vấn đề thực sự nằm ở người đi xe đạp. Bằng một cách nào đó, cũng có thể đi xe để giảm thiểu rủi ro đến mức tối thiểu.

Nếu bạn quyết định tham gia cùng hàng ngàn người dân ở Anh đang quay trở lại đi xe đạp như một phương tiện giao thông giá rẻ thì vấn đề đầu tiên bạn phải quyết định mua xe đạp nào. Dưới đây là ba nguyên tắc đơn giản để mua một chiếc xe đạp:

l. Luôn luôn mua chiếc tốt nhất bạn có thể mua được. Tất nhiên phải có một điểm giao nhau giữa những gì bạn thích và điều kiện kinh tế thực tế, nhưng hãy cứ đặt mục tiêu cao nhất bạn có thể. Bạn sẽ được lợi cả khi đang dùng xe lẫn khi bạn muốn bán nó. Những chiếc xe tốt sẽ giữ giá tốt. Và hãy nhớ tính toán số tiền thực tế bạn tiết kiệm từ tiền vé và xăng ngay khi bạn rời khói cửa hàng.

2. Trong ngân quỹ của bạn, hãy lựa chọn khung xe tốt nhất, đây cũng là cấu trúc chính của xe đạp. Phanh giá rẻ, bánh xe hoặc bánh răng có thể dễ dàng được thay thế bằng những cái đắt tiền hơn, nhưng khung xe thì chỉ có giới hạn. Bạn nên nghĩ đến việc mong muốn đạp xe sẽ tăng lên cùng với quá trình tập luyện. Khi bạn bắt đầu, đạp xe bốn dặm để đi việc có thể là chặng đường dài nhất bạn nghĩ tới, nhưng sau một vài tháng thì bạn sẽ mong muốn được đi những chuyến xa hơn về vùng quê vào những ngày chủ nhật. Tốt nhất là mua chiếc xe đạp tốt hơn một chút so với nhu cầu của bạn, và sau đó quen với nó. Nếu không, hãy mua chiếc xe mà có thể cải tiến.

3. Vấn đề kích thước rất quan trọng. Tay lái và chiều cao ghế ngồi có thể được điều chỉnh nhưng bạn phải có khung xe đúng kích thước. Nhìn chung tốt nhất hãy chọn cỡ xe to nhất mà bạn có thể đi được. Kích thước khung được đo bằng inch và phạm vi thông thường là từ 21 inch đến 25 inch, ngoài ra vẫn còn một số kích thước ngoại cỡ khác. Một số người nói rằng nếu bạn giảm bốn inch từ chiều dài chân bên trong thì sẽ có kích cỡ xe phù hợp nhất. Tuy nhiên, nguyên tắc cơ bản ở đây là khi ở cùng một phía so với thanh ngang (thanh nối từ tay lái đến yên xe) hai chân bạn phải đứng thoải mái trên mặt đất là được

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50.

It can be shown in facts and figures that cycling is the cheapest, most convenient, and most environmentally desirable term of transport in towns, but such cold calculations do not mean much on a frosty winter morning. The real appeal of cycling is that it is so enjoyable. It has none of the difficulties and tensions of other ways of traveling so you are more cheerful after a ride, even though the rush hour.

The first thing a non-cyclist says to you is: "But isn't it terribly dangerous?" It would be foolish to deny the danger of sharing the road with motor vehicles and it must be admitted that there are an alarming number of accidents involving cyclists. However, although police records indicate that the car driver is often to blame, the answer lies with the cyclist. It is possible to ride in such a way as to reduce risks to a minimum.

If you decide to join the thousands in Britain who are now returning to cycling as a cheap, satisfying form of transport your first problem will be trying to decide what bike to buy. Here are three simple rules for buying a bike:

1. Always buy the best you can afford. Of course there has to be a meeting point between what you would really like and economic reality, but aim as high as you can and you will get the benefit not only when you ride but also if you want to sell. Well-made bikes keep the value very well. And don't forget to include in your calculations the fact that you'll begin saving money on

fares and petrol the minute you leave the shop.

2. Get the best frame, the main structure of the bicycle, for your money as you can. Cheap brakes, wheels or gears can easily be replaced by more expensive ones, but the frame sets the upper limit on any transformation. You should allow for the possibility our cycling ambitions will grow with practice. When you begin, the four miles to work may the most you ever dream of, but after a few months a Sunday ride into the country begins to look more and more desirable. The best thing is to buy a bike just a little bit better than you think you'll need, and then grow into it. Otherwise, try to get a model that can be improved.

3.The fit is vital. Handlebars and seat height can be adjusted but you must get the right sized frame. On the whole it is best to get the largest size you can manage. Frame sizes are measured in inches and the usual adult range is from 21 inches to 25 inches, though extreme sizes outside those measurements can be found. Some people say if you take four inches off from your inside leg measurement you will end up with the right size of bike. The basic principle though is that you should be able to stand with legs either side of the crossbar (the bar that goes from the handlebars to the seat) with both feet comfortably flat on the ground.

After you have been cycling for a few months the author suggests that you will _______.

A. want to ride only at weekends

B. want to ride further than you first imagined

C. find riding to work every day boring

D. find cycling in towns less dangerous
