When the fork was stolen off Bart Michielss mountain bike last summer， he wheeled it nearly three miles from his home in Chelsea to Franks Bike Shop on the eastern end of Grand Street.

Mr Michiels passed many other bike shops along the way， including one that offers free coffee. But for 20 years， he has remained devoted （忠實(shí)的） to Franks. “Franks the man，” he said of Frank Arroyo， the owner. “I dont care where he is in the city—Ill go.”

Mr Michiels doesnt have to worry about Mr Arroyos relocating （搬遷）. The shop has stayed on the Lower East Side of Manhattan for 40 years.

After Mr Michiels left， Marvin Priess arrived. A professor of chemistry and math， Mr Priess wheeled in the Ross 18-speed he had bought at Franks in 1978 and still rides today， at age 68. Mr Priess said that over the years， every single part of it that couldnt be repaired had been replaced， sometimes more than once， at Franks. Customers dont come for the ambience （環(huán)境）. Its crowded and dirty; buckets of parts and boxes of training wheels line the entryway.

The store is filled with about 500 bikes and you will find Mr Arroyo， 72， six days a week. He has been in the bike business since age 14. Born and raised on the Lower East Side， he has employed and taught many young people in the neighborhood. He is also willing to repair bikes in any condition， as well as his neighbors walkers and wheelchairs.

English Epps， a lawyer， needed a new seat; his had been stolen. “Ive been coming here since I was in the third grade，” he said， adding， “Theres a new bike shop on Delancey Street， but everybody comes here.”

24. Why did Bart Michiels wheel his bike to Franks Bike Shop？

C. It was recently bought at Franks.

D. It has gone through many repairs.

26. What words can best describe Mr Arroyo？

C. Positive and talkative. D. Well-educated and friendly.

Are there any practical purposes for the number zero， or could we function just as well without it？ Zero describes the absence of something， and while on scales such as those used for? ?temperature， zero has a defined （界定的） meaning. In general， it doesnt seem to be as useful as many other numbers.

If you agree with the notion that the number zero is not particularly valuable， then you probably have not considered the most important use for this number， a use that you see every? ?day and most likely take for granted. The number， or more precisely， the digit （數(shù)字） zero， makes our positional system of numbers possible. Without zero， the numerals for three hundred? and two and for thirty-two would be indistinguishable from each other—and from many other numbers as well. The use of zero keeps the digits in their correct places， so that the place value of each digit is immediately apparent. You know at a glance that the 3 in 302 has a value of 3 hundred and not 3 thousand or some other quantity. The place of each digit shows its value， and zeros keep the digits in the correct places.

So， what is so remarkable？ You may be thinking. Arent all number systems positional with some kind of place value system？ The truth is that not all number systems are of this nature， and that most very early number systems were not positional. Roman numerals， which are still used today for a few applications， are positional but do not include a symbol （符號） for zero. Egyptian numerals included no zero and had no positional values. One early number system that did include zero was that employed by the Maya in Central America. For the most part， however， the use of a symbol for zero was a relatively late introduction in methods used to record quantities.

28. In a positional number system， the value of a zero ___ .

A. indicates a large number

B. is sometimes equal to zero

C. is always greater than zero

D. changes depending on its position

29. The writer shows that zero is needed ___ .

A. to compare numbers

B. because it has a defined meaning

C. in many types of number systems

D. to make a number system positional

30. What does the underlined word “apparent” in Paragraph 2 probably mean？

A. Mistaken. B. Understood.

C. Written. D. Forgotten.

31. Why are examples of Roman and Egyptian numerals used in the last paragraph？

A. To explain why people have wrong ideas.

B. To list the advantages of early number systems.

C. To show that not all number systems are positional.

D. To indicate why zero was a relatively late introduction.

CALGARY， CANADA—It was one of the most important phone calls Bruce Burrell has ever received， a call warning that a flood was headed Calgarys way.

“I got a phone call about five in the morning on Thursday from Len McCharles， who was on watch at the time， and he said， ‘there has been big flooding in Canmore and its heading this way，” said Burrell， the head of the Calgary Emergency Management Agency.

“I got up immediately， turned on the morning news， saw the pictures from Canmore and then called McCharles back. I said， ‘Open the Emergency Operations Center.”

Burrell was in the EOC for 48 hours straight and it wasnt until Burrell left the center for the first time that the disaster hit him.

“Once you step outside and you actually see it and hear it， it paints a completely different picture from what you thought you would be dealing with，” said Burrell.

Calgary firefighters came to help the Calgarians who were influenced by floodwaters. Keal Prince， captain of the Calgary Fire Department remembers how a young boy lost his finger while helping a woman remove debris （瓦礫） out of her house.

“As his finger got cut off it went into a fully loaded dumpster （裝好的垃圾箱），” Prince said. “People had worked hours to get the dumpster loaded and now theyre working tirelessly， quickly to unload that dumpster， looking for that finger.”

“We had to remove a lot of debris to find that finger. Luckily， the finger was found and it was reattached，” Prince added.

Burrell is proud of what the city has achieved so far. And he says the city couldnt have done it without hundreds of unsung heroes. “There were a lot of unbelievable things that went on during the flood and I think that is what Calgarians need to be proud of.”

32. On Thursday morning， Burrell ___ .

A. opened his door and found something was wrong

B. was called to go to Canmore to help people

34. What can be inferred about the young boy？

A. He was a great help.

B. He had a happy ending.

C. He was hurt while unloading the dumpster.

35. What can we infer from the last paragraph about Burrell？

Life on land probably began about 430 million years ago. It is thought that life had existed in the water for perhaps so long as 3，000 million years. When we think of the first life on land， we probably think of strange animals come out of the ocean. And actually no animals could have been living if plants had not been on land firstly. Plants had to be on land after animals arrived. They supplied the first land animals with necessary food to live in. Plants are only form of life that are able to get and store energy. Plants are so importance！
