Bikes coming back into style

About 30 years ago, China was known as the “Bicycle Kingdom”. But the two-wheeled mode of transport lost its popularity, with many bikes soon replaced by their oil-powered competitors.

But recent months it is seen that the common bikes become fashionable across China again, with an increasing number of people choosing cycling instead of driving to schools, to workplaces or to do sightseeing. The introduction of bike-sharing ideas, pioneered by the newly start-up companies, Ofo and Mobike, has brought the style to a new level. According to research by iResearch Group, the first week of this year saw 5.85 million active users of Mobike while Ofo had 1.4 million active users.

People can unlock the shared bikes by simply using their smart phones. The bikes are offered to use with GPS and can be left anywhere in public for the next user. They’re popular among many Chinese people.

However, the projects have also led to problems such as illegal(非法的) parking and being broken, which bring difficulties to both the company and the users. What’s more,being stolen is also a serious problem. Now, the companies are trying to solve these problems. For example, Mobike sets a 100-point score for each user, with points taken in the case of bad behavior. Once a score drops below 80, the money the bike user should pay will be increased from 1 yuan to 100 yuan every 30 minutes.

61. Which bike-sharing leading companies are mentioned in the passage?

_______________________________________________________________________________ 62. Are the active users of Mobike more or fewer than that of Ofo in the first week of this year? _______________________________________________________________________________ 63. Why can the users find the bikes quickly with their smart phones?

_______________________________________________________________________________ . What are the problems that the projects bring?

_______________________________________________________________________________ 65. How much should I pay for using the Mobike for an hour if my score is 90?
